Oh Jessey B. Good!

Jessey and I, we would have made the ultimate quirky love story. Chance collides with coincidence countered with cheekiness.

You see, we didn’t meet while in school or college and held hands on our way to classes; neither did we meet in a club and exchanged phone numbers and tongues amidst the hypnotic beats of house; nor through mutual friends, over coffee and conversation, who thought we’d be “cool together”.

I never knew answering an ad looking for live fish would mark the start of someone new in my life. To cut a long story short, I needed to get to the interview location, Jessey provided the map with some funny remarks in the email; I replied to express my gratitude, Jessey answered through an sms. From then on, it was one laugh-out-loud sms after another. It lasted for hours...until we were standing before each other, grinning.

At the end, I wasn’t the sort of live fish the advertisers were looking for, but who cares, I met someone interesting. Whoever heard of walking out of an interview with a new friend instead of a new job? Yeah, it could happen...but what are the chances?

Yeah, it would have been the ultimate quirky love story...if Jessey was a man.
