I told you about the food; now imagine me at ten years old. A dark-skinned, chubby child growing up in the Caribbean. You think girls found me handsome? \u201cI had to learn to be funny and charismatic in order to have friends. That helped me a bit. Then I went to university and started exercising to manage my stress, and I lost all my baby fat.<\/p>\n

It was like overnight, dark- skinned men became handsome to women. Girls who wouldn\u2019t even look at me were sliding into my DMs wanting to hook up. \u201cAll my life people have tried to make me ashamed of my skin, and now suddenly I\u2019m handsome? I can\u2019t even enjoy the attention because it feels gross. Those women don\u2019t want me for who I am; they want me for what they think I can give them: a night with a \u2018black stallion\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople assume that because I\u2019m a man, I\u2019m supposed to enjoy this kind of attention, but I honestly don\u2019t. I feel sexualized and dehumanized. I meant what I said earlier\u2014I don\u2019t do casual women. If I sleep with someone, it\u2019s because I really like them and want commitment. So if you\u2019re looking for a quick hookup, I\u2019m sorry to disappoint you, but I\u2019m not your guy.\u201d His face looked so open and earnest that it broke my heart.<\/p>\n

I had to give myself a mental reprimand for judging him harshly before, and what was worse, he saw right through me. He knew I was judging him and was kind anyway. \u201cSince you were honest with me, I\u2019ll be honest with you. I was interested in a hookup, but it wasn\u2019t because I was sexualizing you.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s true, I think you\u2019re hot, but there\u2019s more to it. It\u2019s only been a few hours, but I really like being around you. There\u2019s something calm and welcoming about your energy. The dating scene is so messed up that I genuinely never considered that there was a possibility for more than a hookup between us.\u201d \u201cMore radical honesty. I like you enough that I was considering settling for just a hookup.<\/p>\n

Isn\u2019t that sad? Here we are, two lonely people willing to compromise our desires just for the chance at human connection.\u201d \u201cWell, all the cards are on the table. I think I\u2019d like to hang out with you, Gareth.<\/p>\n

OceanofPDF.com Description The best date of my life turned out to be with the a-hole who stole my promotion.<\/p>\n

Did I mention he\u2019s also my new boss? I\u2019ve spent years clawing my way up the corporate ladder, only to get passed over for an outsider. As if that wasn\u2019t bad enough, Valentine\u2019s Day was around the corner and I was still painfully single. Then I met Gareth Holder. Charming. Brilliant. Way too hot for my sanity. One hot night with electric chemistry was enough to make me believe in true love again.<\/p>\n

Until Monday morning, when I realized the man I met was the jerk who stole my job. I\u2019d finally met my prince and he was.off.limits. So what if he let me crash at his place when I lock myself out? So what if he planned the most romantic Valentine\u2019s Day date I\u2019d ever had?<\/p>\n

That job had my name on it. And no amount of toe-curling chemistry is going to make me forget it. OceanofPDF.com Introduction This book was written with snippets of Caribbean dialect. Similar to AAVE, it has its own vocabulary and grammatical rules; it is a language unto itself. My characters are of Caribbean descent, and it makes sense for them to use dialect with each other.<\/p>\n

I hope you enjoy. I do not use any form of generative AI in my writing.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
