I don't know, I just don't want to make mistakes... Hulu said. A part of me wants to say no because he is short, the other part of me can't stop wondering like what if he is my destined husband and I'm throwing him away because of his height. I'm just confused... She continued.

I understand how you feel but is it that bad? Your happiness and peace are the most important thing, and you said you feel at peace with him, plus he matches your sexual energy... MJ said.

MJ is Hulu's best friend, they met 2 years ago at a work summit and they have been inseparable ever since. While MJ is reserved, loving, and child, Hulu is the exact opposite, she can be all over the place. Sometimes she stops to wonder how a person like MJ can love and decide to be in her life. During Hulu's darkest times, MJ was always there for emotional support.

Yea, you are right. I guess I will just say yes but I will still be on the lookout for Mr. Right... Hulu said.

Yea, I mean it can't hurt to try so that you won't regret not trying in the future. Even if it doesn't work, you won't regret anything... Mj said.


Few weeks into the relationship and it has been a sweet ride for Hulu and Moses. It was only a matter of time before Hulu's fears began to manifest... She was beginning to fall in love! And it wasn't part of the plan. To her, falling in love will make her commit and this will hinder her from meeting her ideal man. Hulu can be wild and crazy but she is a sucker for love and commitment and once she's in, she is really in. And being in with a person like Moses is not her dream, she wanted someone she could show off, someone tall, someone that will make her feel small... To make it worse, MJ came over a few days ago and she had a thing or two to say.

What do you think... Hulu asked MJ after she met Moses.

Mehn, he is truly short, I never knew it was this that bad... She replied. That reply made Hulu be more serious about not falling in love with him.

Well, at least he is helpful... He is nice to you, plus he lets you crash in his place till you find your own place. MJ said.

Hulu was facing some challenges in her finances and she was homeless. She moved into her brother's house but as an independent woman, she was having difficulties fitting in. She hated being controlled and her family is control freaks. So she shuffles between her brother's house and Moses' place, but she spends more time in Moses' place. She was hoping to get her own apartment then she can be free to tour as much as she wants, meet a tall, dark, and handsome man and then leave Moses. She knew that she was being selfish, but to her, she didn't have any other choice.

Now she was beginning to fall in love with Moses, he was such a patient man. To Hulu, he was one of the best men she had dated, he didn't care about her craziness, he always wanted her to be happy.

What is it? Moses asked her. He noticed how distant she was to him that night. She wouldn't let him touch her and she was taking a lot of alcohol.

*Can we just go back to being friends? I'm not ready for a relationship. I'm not mentally okay to be committed, I'm trying but it's not working... Hulu said

Baby please, I love you. No relationship is easy to build, please just give us another chance. Please... Moses replied.

To Hulu one last chance will make her fall even deeper than she has already fallen. It will make this more difficult for her to walk away. She wished she was the type of girl that keeps several partners, there wouldn't have been an issue. She'll simply date him and date her spec when he arrives, but multiple partners are not her thing so this relationship will stop her from dating the type of man she truly desires when she sees him.

Okay, let's try again... She heard herself say. She didn't know why she said the exact opposite of how she felt, but maybe they are fated to be. She doesn't want to fight her feelings anymore, she is at peace with a short guy that has the most beautiful smile she has ever seen, so she'll go with the flow and see where the road leads.
