The name is Stevenson Xavier. A big and tall ( six-foot-one by 240 pounds) young Black man of Haitian descent living in the City of Ottawa, Ontario. I moved to the Canadian Province of Ontario from the City of Boston, Massachusetts, about a year ago. These days, I work as a security guard and I also attend Carleton University, where I major in business admin...
"Shhhh be quiet or he'll see us!" Maggie told her younger sister Sarah who had just turned eighteen-years-old. "I can't help it Maggie. I giggle when I am nervous. What if he finds out it was US?" She asked as her sister aimed the digital camera at the Dean of their college. "He won't, we are going to post this on the school bulletin board after he leaves...
At 25,000 feet my mind drifts back to the last six months. My deployment to Operation Baltic Hammer is over. 147 combat missions and I'm still alive. My plane and body are still in one peace and I'm coming home. I scan the inside of my cockpit as I have done a million times before. The heads up display tells me I am on course at 25,000 feet and the final way...
Tammi wasn't the smartest of girls. It wasn't fair, really; she hadn't been blessed with smarts, but she hadn't been blessed with looks either. She wasn't ugly - she was plain. Her large eyes were slightly too far apart, dark brown, lips a little too large. She was short, too - only five foot three, and a little bit on the chubby side. The only thing she was...
I hear a lot of negative talk about Black men in the United States of America, and a lot of it comes from Black women. Why is that? I mean, seriously. Sometimes I feel like the moment I bring up the subject of relationships between Black men and Black women, I'm stepping into a minefield. There seems to be an undeclared war between Black men and Black women...
God! I have so many as yet unfulfilled; it's difficult to know which one to pick. Do I go down and dirty here? Or do I choose something a little more commonplace? I am reluctant to share my favourite fantasy, partly because it is based on real events from my life as Laura and partly because it says something about me that I probably wouldn't want people to...
For the past five years, Valerie spent Valentine's Day alone. It wasn't for lack of trying. Five years ago, her boyfriend, Todd, broke her heart the week before the day set aside for lovers. She didn't leave her one-bedroom apartment that year. The next year, still being single, she pampered herself. Flowers arrived at her desk promptly at 11, complete with...
A few years ago, I was a senior manager for a company with retail branches in major North American cities. Since Christmas was a very slow time for us, and we wanted to build a sense of comradery among the far-flung employees--most of whom had never met each other in person--I proposed to my boss, the CEO, that we bring everyone into our headquarters city Da...
In my previous story, I told you about picking out my costume for the performance, discovering that I could actually carry on a conversation while topless in a room full of girls, and how I needed to purchase some sexier underwear. That's where this chapter picks up. I took a bus into town and walked around until I found a store that had what I was looking...
It was a long and tiring journey across the high seas, but worth every minute when suddenly my eyes met yours at the airport terminal. I felt energized by the way your mouth forms a huge simile and rushing over to greet me with a giant huge. My body felt the warmth and desire when I wanted desperately to reach down and touch your tan face and surprise you wi...
