CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
The Winning Story….
“I was a bridesmaid in my uncle’s wedding about 7 years ago. As with most weddings, it was videotaped.
A few months later, my uncle’s wife contacted me. She had some guests over, one of which was a young man that took an ‘interest’ in me after watching this wedding day video. She offered to connect us and said he seemed ‘like a nice guy.’ Yes, you should run, hang up the phone or put your fingers in your ears if anyone tells you such a thing, consider it a pre-cursor to what is more than likely going to be a nightmare or perhaps DATEmare!
For the purposes of this story let’s call this ‘nice guy’ N.G. N.G. offered to take me to a Maxwell concert. Not having met before, we agreed to meet at the concert venue. Across from the venue was a hotel with a very classy lounge on the first floor. N.G. said he arrived in the area very early and was just finishing a drink in this lounge so meet him there instead…(Exhibit ‘B’.)
I entered the lounge to see N.G. sitting on a couch with one girl on his right and another girl on his left. He had his phone in his hand and looked like he was entering a phone number…(Exhibit ‘I’.)
N.G. asked if I wanted a drink but I refused, after all, wasn’t the concert about to start soon? We walked across the street to the concert venue and went to the box office. Silly me, I thought N.G. had purchased tickets already and we were just picking them up. Oh no, although he had invited me to go to this concert somehow he neglected to actually buy the tickets…( Exhibit ‘N’.)
The lady at the ticket window pulled out a seating chart and explained to us the pricing of tickets by section. N.G. didn’t seem interested at all and complained the prices were too pricey (Exhibit ‘G’.)
I ended up going outside to see if anyone was selling tickets (yes, I know.) I was frustrated and I did want to see the concert. I wanted to text my ‘gurl’ friend with an update she had her moms phone that day. I scrolled through my in-coming calls to find the number. I sent her a text that said “this boy is sooooooooo CHEAP!”. Five words that meant ‘O’MG and you need to call me. But ‘gurl’ friend didn’t call (not like her.) I called her and she asked what text I was talking about because she didn’t get it…Bingo! You got it, I sent the text to him instead…
I have long since accepted Jesus Christ as my savior and He has taught me A LOT. In other words, I can see my mistakes in this situation now and I have learned to save numbers and names in my phone LOL! PRAISE GOD! However, I am Single and Waiting. Ms. Chambers I would be grateful to win your book and get ready!”
