Around The Way Girl

Anyone who knows me or who has known me for sometime knows that LL Cool J & I have been dating. He just doesn't know it, well he didn't know it, but he does now.

I had an opportunity in May to go have him sign his new book, that has lots of pictures of him, demonstrating different exercises. The book signing was about a hour away & a must do. I bought my book & waited for his arrival. Elysia, my friend who went with me told me I had to tell him about us dating. We were laughing over it. I had so much nervous anticipation. When he arrived it was crazy. They started lining us up. When it was my turn this is how it went down:

LL: Hello, thanks for coming (Shaking my hand)

Me: Congrat's on the book, I have something to tell you.

LL: OK (licked his lips)

Me: It's been a "joke" with my friends that we've been dating for the last oh 20 years you just haven't know about it. Hi, it's nice to meet you & finally get together.

LL: (chuckle) Really, yes it is nice to meet you too.

Me: Maybe in another 20 years we can do this again....

LL: It's on!

He shook my hand 3 times & had his left hand on my back pretty much indicating he wanted me. Athough he is smiling, his sunglasses are hiding his sadness. I had to tell him while I was very flattered, he needed to understand that what we have would remain a fanatsy. I told him I love my boyfriend Jay very much & would never do anything to hurt him. I explained to LL this was a once in a lifetime chance & I had to let him know. Who knew he would be so charmed by my beauty & boldness. I know he's still sad today. I would be sad if I couldn't have me either.

I will always have fond memories of our brief relationship.
