Choosing Me

May 25, 2025

Choosing me, just got easier.

I'm really starting to love Sundays. On this particular Sunday, I received an email from the front office, informing all residents that the top deck pool area is now available for enjoyment. I couldn't be more excited, I mean my body isn't summertime fine due to my over consumption of late-night snacks and wine, but I could really treat myself to a day in the sun. We were also invited to a "Meet your neighbor" event, this afternoon, which really excited me, I mean I have been in my shell since the whole break up, so I owe it to myself to get back social again. I decided to throw a little Beyonce on as I got myself dressed for my morning coffee run. It was a beautiful day outside, so I decided to slip into a cute black linen mid sun dress. This dress has been in the back of my closet for two summers now and between my new mindset and Beyonce's freak em dress song, I was feeling confident and free. I reached for my So Fresh Marc Jacobs perfume for the smell of the day, and my crisp white Hermes dupe sandals. I threw my travel size glitter body butter by J lo into my snaked skinned all white top handled handbag and was out the door. As I made it to my favorite coffee spot Noir Lux Cafe, I immediately felt at home from the welcome back greetings and friendly waves from the fabulous coffee junkies. There is always something new to try so today I went with an iced blueberry cobbler latte and an all-dressed bagel with hot apple butter and cream cheese. Like every Sunday Chris sits me to my seat, but today he was replaced by another handsome guy name Ryan, Now Ryan was more of my type of guy he was tall, dark skinned, ocean wave like hair with a beautiful white smile. However, Ryan was playing on the same team, his nails were painted baby pink. While I waited for my breakfast and coffee, I began to stare out the window, where I watched an older couple enjoy each other's company over a cup of coffee. It was the warmest, the sweetest, heartfelt thing to witness. It was the way he sweetened her coffee, the way she looked into his eyes while fixing his collar, the way they simply held hands. It was original, it was effortless, it was everything that love looked like. By this time, I was now devouring my breakfast bagel and slowly taking in every pleasant flavor of my iced latte. Once I came back to reality, a masculine voiced asked have I ever been in love, I quickly looked up and he slowly sat down across from me. It was the cologne guy that paid for my first coffee, he was dressed in an all-white two piece with cognac tone sandals, his mysterious aura sucked me right in. After 20 minutes of getting to know each other, I found out that cologne guy's name is Russel, he's single, he's the chief financial officer for Clear Water Bank Institute and he's, also my neighbor. After Russel paid for my breakfast and coffee, he offered to walk me to our building. We didn't quite make it to the meet your neighbor pool party because we chose to spent hours and hours in the lobby getting to know each other a little more.
