I had been given the illustrious
honor of being the grand marshal of the Michigan
State homecoming parade.
We both went to Michigan State.
But we went at different times.
I'm five years older than he is so.
Yeah, I'm a cougar.
Not ashamed.
And up walks this one.
You know, shimmying, trying to be all cool.
Come on. Come on.
OK, he wasn't shimmying.
He walked up.
But you were trying to look cool, though.
I'm cool.
So I walked up--
OK.
--I just walked up regular.
My friend introduced us.
And I could tell she wanted me.
When we, I mean, it was--
OK.
I will not, I won't lie.
Is that I did immediately notice, OK, he's hot.
All right?
I immediately noticed this.
So I was content to leave things there,
after his friend introduced us.
But later on that night, it was a party.
The black alumni association has a party.
So I went to the party.
I put on my red dress.
Shout out to After 7.
I could tell she was looking for me.
Like you know how you lose a dog or a kid?
You looking around-- - I was not.
She was looking a little lost.
And then when she sees me, she looked so happy.
And I approached her.
And I think, I can't remember what I said.
Well, I think because we had met earlier,
the conversation just kind of started there.
But I was just surprised what you were, what you thought was,
I was happy.
I was just very surprised.
Like what are the odds that the hot guy
that you meet at the tailgate is also at the dance.
Now Michigan State is a school of 40,000 people.
There's thousands of alumni.
Homecoming is a big deal.
So running into people multiple times,
you kind of, it kind of makes me wonder, like oh, OK, maybe
it was meant for me to see him again.
So when we saw each other again, we talked.
More flirting.
And he asked for my number.
And I gave it to him.
