If your name is Imaginary Boyfriend, please don’t read.
Once upon a time not that long ago, the girls from our leadership team and I went to Cracker Barrel after one of our Sunday night meetings.
Oh, who am I kidding? We go to CB after every single meeting we have.
No, really. They know us (and our orders) by name. It is a beautiful thing.
On one special Sunday night, I saw a creature with the most gorgeous hair I had ever laid eyes on approach our table and say “Hi, I’m Trey. I’ll be your server tonight.”
It was love at first sight.
Since then, we’ve all had a collective crush on Trey and his hair not to mention the fried chicken he brought to our table. Now, I’m sure you can imagine what a predicament we were in, what with approximately 22 college-aged girls in love with the same fair-haired waiter bearing gifts of fried poultry.
And so, I knew it was time to rock my Ministry Founder and Leader high heels. At our next weekly meeting, I announced that the only solution to our problem was for one of us to date him so that he’d be off-limits to the rest of us. And, because I like to serve, I offered to be that girl.
I rarely pull rank, but when it came to Trey, I had no choice. I’m sure you understand.
The only problem about this plan was that Trey, my darling dollop of love, didn’t know that he was supposed to date me. We tried dropping casual hints each Sunday night but Trey remained oblivious. I decided that it was time for something drastic so, the next time we saw him, I announced that he and I would be getting married.
Desperate times call for desperate measures, ya’ll.
Trey agreed to this plan immediately but, after a mutual time of prayer and fasting, we decided we should wait awhile to make sure our love for each other wasn’t just based on our mutual love for CB. So, for the time being, we are choosing to be Best Friends Forever. No, for real. When we see each other at CB, we really call each other Best Friend Forever.
So, you can imagine my surprise when Trey approached my table at CB yesterday with some news he wanted to share with me that will change our relationship… in a good way… a very, very good way.
But, alas, you’ll have to wait ’til tomorrow to find out what that news is…

He’s going to be the first chicky boy at Starlite? He’s writing a book on hair care secrets and donating all the proceeds to Starlite? He’s negotiated deep discounted PNC for Starlite through CB? He has two older single men of God brothers that he wants you and I to meet? Oh the options are limitless!!!

I’d think ANY boy who delivered CFC from CB to me would be marriage material. That’s assuming that CFC stands for chicken fried chicken, which is a.w.e.s.o.m.e. at CB. However, those cute goldy locks? He’s rockin’ those.
