"I was like Yo Trey, do you think you can buy me a bottle of Rose?"

On January 29th, my dreams came true. If you know me, you know that I love Trey Songz. For those of you who don't know, Trey Songz is an R&B singer. He was born Tremaine Neverson and is the man behind Bottoms Up, Say Ahh, Neighbor Know Me Know, Can't Be Friends, and my personal favorite Jupiter Love. By some miracle, he came to Lawrence and we met. It was a day I will never forget.

The day started relatively normally. I went to work at 8 am and didn't wear makeup or straighten my hair, because I took an extra fifteen minutes to snooze. From work I rushed to school then back to work then back to school one last time. My cousin picked me up to look for something to wear to the informational I was attending the following weekend. I didn't find an outfit in the allotted time, so I skipped tutoring and went to a few more shops. I eventually did find the perfect top. I loved it, and she hated it. Its the usual. After I went to a choir meeting where we had unseasoned tacos and shared awkward christian small talk. That's when I got the text, "Trey Songz is at the game *shocked emoji*. Before I knew it I was interrupting the awkward small talk and said, "Get up! We have to go!" to my friend. Everyone asked what was wrong. I followed by telling them it's the best day of my life and absolutely nothing is wrong. Trey songz was there!! The drummer on worship team I have a little crush on chose that moment to want to talk to me and offered me a ride, but I turned it down because TREY SONGZ WAS HERE! I had to speed to my friend Sharon's as fast as possible, because I knew she was the only friend prepared for this moment. Her and I share our love for celebrities, and we both have season passes to the game. I've been telling her and everyone else Trey would come for weeks. They all acted like I was insane, but deep in my heart I knew it would happen. When you want it bad enough, nothing is impossible.

I drove to Sharon's only to realize my hair wasn't straightened and I had no makeup on. I rushed to my friends house and used her makeup and straightener. Thank God someone my skin tone was close by. All of that time was wasted anyways because we ran all the way to Allen Field House and my hair was messed up and makeup melted off by the time we got down there. It was then that we began searching. We went to one area where the seats most rich people get were extremely visible.We looked and I couldn't find that beautiful chocolate face anywhere. Guess who we were apparently standing right behind? My crush. He of course thought we were looking for him. I made the mistake of saying "This isn't going to work" and he smiled thinking we were talking about him. I wanted to be like turn your head fool and watch the game (I love him, but he has a girlfriend now so just ew). As we wandered the stadium looking for Trey, he kept watching. This went on for about 30 minutes when we finally spotted him. We ran down to the exit by where he was sitting and stood patiently awaiting the end of the game. All the security guards said one thing, that exit was the only way we could leave.

We stood with a woman who had already met hit before. She had won a competition where her and a few other girls got to have lunch with Trey. We would all go in to sneak peaks at him, but he couldn't see us. The girl in a moment of braveness ran up to him. My friend Sharon and I got stopped of course and sadly walked back. Weirdly enough instead of focusing on the game, the basketball players were watching us. I think they were shocked that for once our attention was elsewhere. Eventually the game FINALLY ended and the team walked past us. They were high fiveing people, but I didn't really care that I won. I was waiting for Trey. He walked by so fast I almost missed it. He turned around and smiled, but it wasn't enough. My friend and I moved to location number 2. The players exit. We sat like we belonged there. Charging our phones and talking to each other. A man and his son were waiting with us. The man happened to know the entire KU basketball team. Every player that walked by would say hi to him and then small talk with us. It was nice. Andrew Wiggins came out and FINALLY agreed to take a picture with me. I couldn't be all that excited about any of these players, because my mind was on Trey.

Eventually we had waited like 2 and a half hours, no Trey in sight. I asked one of the players if he was still in there, and he said that he left to go get something to eat. That's when we realized Trey was truly gone. We power-walked back to our car and started planning our next move. I searched "Trey Songz is here" on twitter and sure enough a creep pic of him eating dinner in between two twin girls popped up. I would know that restaurant any way. Applebees. I live in a small town. There's only two. We drove over to AppleBees and parked right next to a chauffeur.  I knocked on the window of the car and asked, "are you Trey Songz driver" while peeking in the back to see if he isn't. He said, "Maybe I am. Maybe I'm not and smiled". I knew he was in there. We ran towards the window and tried to open the door. It was locked, because the restaurant closes at 12. We saw his cute self walking around, but keep in mind it was zero degrees outside. We ran into the car and patiently waited. Eventually, the car moved towards the restaurant so we ran to the door and waited for Trey. Guess who we saw there too? The man and his son along with two other old guys. Trey came to the door and of course I was the first one to speak up.

I said, "Hi Trey, Can I have a quick picture?". He goes "Yes! Of course!". The exclamation points were not in my head. He was extremely enthusiastic about it. He said, "let me just put the ladies in the car first". He opened the door for the twins to go into the car. They awkwardly looked at each other then go, "Do you expect us both to go in from the same side?" (how rude, right?) In the most polite of voices my husband says, "Well, one of you can walk around and open the door yourselves with a shade but no shade type voice". He then opens the door and comes in to say hello to us. I'm the first to walk up to him and I tell him I had a really good time at his concert last year. I tell him he should come back and do another show. He thanks me and says he plans to do it. He had a really great time. We take a fabulous picture and then I ask for a hug. He gives me a tight, perfect hug. I feel so safe in his arms. I take a picture of him and my friend Sharon. The man and his son are next. The man tells Trey about his son who passed away a few months ago and Trey's face just falls. You can tell he feels for the man. The man told him how his son only listened to Trey, Drake, and Kid Cudi. Trey smiles and says, "It's all love man" and gives the guy a hug. I didn't realize I went awww until I watched the video later. He then made small talk with the mans son. He asked the son to take a silly picture with him. It was super cute watching him interact with children. I know he'll be a great father to Tremaine Jr. and our ten children someday haha. The old men were boring and just asked for a picture. One of them was technology challenged and had to get the picture taken away. Trey goes "you need another one? He fucked it up huh?" while smiling. His friend/bodygaurd was making small talk with us. He was a really friendly guy. My friend and I decide to get an autograph. S asks him something about him being a real KU fan and he goes, "that was a good fucking game". He assures us that he plans to come back to Lawrence. It's finally time for Trey to leave. His friend told us they were going back to their hotel then flying to Kansas City in the morning. I give him a hug goodbye, and it feels so natural. He pulls me in closer and kisses my forhead. It was perfect. I still can't believe it happened to me. God is good.

Most importantly, he kissed me! Endless smiles forever.
