It started on a sticky summer night in Harlem—when everything felt a little too loud, a little too close, and somehow perfect. Deon, 19, was leaning on the stoop like he owned the whole block, flashing that lazy smile of his. You, 18, sat with your girls across the way, trying not to look at him too long—but you always did.

Y’all had known each other forever. You’d laughed together, teased each other, grown up side by side. But that night felt different. That night, his eyes lingered a little longer. Your voice stuck in his head. And for the first time, neither of you ran from it.

In a city that never slowed down, something about the way you two moved—unspoken, familiar, magnetic—made it clear: this wasn’t just friendship anymore. This was the beginning of something softer, deeper… real.
