Quick ahead to 2019, we have been following one another on social media, and he’d thirst after me within the DM’s once I posted images on my Instagram tales, however I didn’t assume a lot about it or entertain him. Though when he would tease me overtly on Twitter over how brief I used to be, I lowkey cherished the eye and was at all times wanting ahead to him getting into my mentions for bants. We had a mutual buddy who had an accident and died after surgical procedure.
