My personal relationship

Hey everyone! I hope your week has went well and your weekend will be even better. This week I decided to tell you about my boyfriend and how we met.

His name is Jamarius and we have been together for five years now. It's a messed story how we got together but I'm going to tell it anyway. One of his friends decided to hook him up with my best friend KayKay. It was around her birthday, May 18th. His friend told him to get her a birthday gift and take it over her house. He did but he didn't get to actually see her that day. They talked over the phone for about two more weeks after that and they finally saw each other on his birthday, May 29th. They hung out and she was calling me while he was there. Of course, I was uninterested but I stayed on the phone anyway.

My friends and I used to be on three-way all the time. I would secretly be on three-way while him and KayKay where talking. She would also bring my friend La'Shawn into the conversation. Somehow La'Shawn got his number and they were talking to each other. At the time, him and KayKay were having problems so when La'Shawn was on the phone with him she would put me on three-way with them. He told me he looked me up on MySpace and found an interest in me instead of my friends.

One day when I was on the phone with both of them, I had to hang up. Next thing you know, he had my number and was calling me all the time. He still claims to this day he don't blow up girls' phone, but I wish we had screenshots back then so I could prove it to him. We talked on the phone for a few weeks and we decided to see meet up. From his MySpace picture, I really didn't want to see him and I thought I would just stop talking to him after we met.

One hot day of June, my dad was playing basketball for the 35 and up league team for his job. They were playing at Jamarius' high school, North Side High School. It just so happened that he just moved in a house the next street over from North Side. So, I decided to call him and tell him to come up there so we can finally meet.

I was super nervous and I had two reasons why. One reason is because my dad was around and I was sneaking to go meet a boy. My dad doesn't play that, especially considering I was only thirteen. My second reason is because I was just getting interested in boys. Talking on the phone was uncomfortable enough, but meeting him made it even worse.

He called me to tell me he was walking up the driveway. I had so many butterflies in my stomach. I didn't know what to do, say, or how to act. He finally came up to me and my first impression of him was, "You are shorter than me and you have braces." He asked, "Are you Chelsea?" and I answered yes and we started to talk. I don't remember exactly what we were talking about but this all lead into our first kiss. We went our separate ways for a couple of days and I invited him over my house while my mom was gone.

The day he came over my house we talked, laughed, listened to music, and I cooked him some burgers. I told him before that if he wanted to be together, he could ask me out in person and that's exactly what he did. So that day in my kitchen, I became his girlfriend and the rest is history.

Throughout our relationship we have had ups and downs. Instead of completely growing apart, we have stuck together through thick and thin. We have had to fight with my parents, his "ladies' man" ways, and his journey through college. We are truly in love and stronger than ever. He is one of my best friends and I'll love him always no matter what happens between us.
