We met at Bent County jail, where the two of us never thought that thirteen years down the road, we'd really have a "thing going on". Now, we aren't too proud to admit that we are both "hooked on a feeling", a "natural high". While Derik was checking me out, I thought he was some prison affiliated-aryan (because he was so pale) "mad dogging" me! I told our mutual friend to let him know that we were going to have problems if the looks didn't stop. The friend tried to coax me into writing a fellow inmate (little did I know it was Derik). Upon visiting that same friend again, I gave in and pointed to a vato I thought was fine and said, "If it's him, he can write me. (Again, little did I know, it was the same guy, Derik). I planned to write him for a month and slowly drop him... here we are thirteen years later, ready to "show and tell" our love story... XOXO XIII
