"Juuuuuust let me meet him. One time guurl, & I swear.." Destiny started,

"You swear what?" I say with a smirk. I already know the end to this story, fo sho.

"He'll be addicted forever" she says in a day dreamy haze.

Wow I love this girl. She keeps me living. She breathes life into my dull existence. Her addiction to Klay Thompson is almost as huge as the one I have for Wardell. I just keep mine on the down-low. See now that's my vanilla swirl and I'm his chocolate drop. I laugh every time I think about it.

I make myself laugh all day.

Me and Destiny work at the best & most local shoe store in Oakland, Ca. Temporary of course, a sista has her education, I'm just still in the middle of getting it. Me and my girl go to California College Of The Arts. Pretty savage, I know. We're literally like so close to graduating. I can't wait. But our time will come, that's what I keep trying to tell Destiny but she not patient enough. I enjoy my time working at the shoe store, I think. But anyways I'm back at my station, putting shoes back in their correct boxes, the right way.

"Sometimes customers are a pain" I say way too loud. Destiny hears me and rushes over from the register to show me some guy in a baseball cap that looks cute from behind.

"Tell me he isn't cute" she says, walking back to her station. I playfully rolled my eyes.

"Ah you cant see his face so I say guilty until proven innocent." I shouted back.

But then the man turns around and my heart literally jumps out of my chest and is on the floor rolling around picking up all the carpet lint and dust bunnies it can before I pick it up and hand it over to him. That man is the one and only, Wardell Stephen Curry. & he just walked into my store!

What the hell god?!, I look like a meatball sub right now.  No really I honestly look like a door knob and he's just gonna waltz into this store looking perfect. Oh god he's looking at me now.

Destiny slowly makes her way over to me when she notices I'm having a mini panic attack, which really isn't a panic attack. Its a minor asthma attack I'm having & it's all his fault. You can tell by the worried look in his eyes that he knows that. Damn it! The last thing I wanted was a man I'm sexually attracted to rushing over to baby me.

Of course he jogs over to where i'm sitting to ask me all types of dumb questions, "Are you okay? Can you breath? Try breathing in and out." he says. I'm just here thinking,

"Nigga I can't, what the hell??"  Then he does something weird.

He grabs my hand.
