So I work at a laundromat, and he did his laundry there. That was over a year ago, and now we are dating. At first I never took notice of Darnell he was just like any other customer to me. Then one day he looks at me and say I don't mean any harm but you are the most beautiful women I have ever seen. My breath caught, and all I could do was smile and walk away.
Men tell me i'm beautiful all the time, but this is the first time it has an impact on me. It was like he was looking at my inner beauty. After that day I couldn't wait to see him again, but months past by with no sign of him. Then one day he was there. I sat down to talk to him which was really easy because he was doing something that I love which was reading.
After that he started coming to the laundromat more and more. Eventually I noticed he was coming with no laundry. He was just coming to see me. I wanted to see him all the time. My feeling for Darnell didn't become difficult until I found out how old he was, and I just recently found that out a couple of weeks ago after over a year of knowing him.
So he just turned 48 and I am a very young looking 24. One girl at work asked me how old I was today because she thought I was 16 and way to young to run a laundromat by myself. I want to be married and have kids, and although I can't be sure how long Darnell will live I worry about it. What if all I have with him is a 20 year marriage, and my children only have a 19 or 18 year relationship with their father? If he passes away in 20 years I will be almost 50 and I just might spend the rest of my life alone.
