Elyse Daniel I was tired. I was exhausted from tricking myself that any bum dude would do. I didn’t want to date Mr “He’ll do For Now” anymore. I wanted the one. The one that made my soul soar. The one that made my heartbeat quicken when he walked into the room. The one that living without was not an option. But, could I do it? Could I put on my big girl panties and simply call the man and see what happened? I needed to ask him a few questions. Why we stopped being friends? Why we never became lovers? Could we try to discover forever together? I guessed if I wanted him, I would have to jump in his Dm’s just like every other basketball, influencer, groupie, thirsty chick that wanted Chase McClennon because I knew. My soul knew. Even my heart was in agreeance. This man was explicitly mine. Now, I just had to convince him.
