Ahhh, there is something special in the smell of a southern summer. The magnolias that line our shaded streets. The honeysuckle that embraces your every step. The home made Iced Tea that quenches your thirst and your soul. And that final smell. It’s all too familiar aroma is in the air even to this day, racism. Now, like boiled peanuts, you can’t find it everywhere, but it’s there. And like boiled peanuts, you probably know someone who is all about it.
If there were ever a post where I would love to reveal the true identity of the person whom the post was about, it would be this one. Not to be mean, or vindictive, but in the hopes that he could learn from his actions. Oh screw it. I want my cousins Pookie and Ray Ray to beat his ass. But that is not the woman my Nana raised, and so, I will simply call him, Mr Racist.
Mr Racist and I met through mutual friends. I have to admit, he was so my type. Funny, attractive, a cross between Paul Rudd and David Schwimmer, walked into a room and good times were always had, successful, focused and a great kisser. (This is where the compliments stop). Like many before him, things started as a random hook up. And I was kinda fine with that. But then it turns out, he was actually pretty good. (Ok, no more compliments after this.) So we hooked up a few more times. And he totally had me, when the second time we got together he offered to make me dinner, and actually did.
Now for me, I was fine with our arrangement. It was nothing serious, very casual, no weirdness out in public, to be honest, it was kinda fun. It was also great to know that people would have been completely shocked if they knew we slept together, and I enjoyed that fact. This went on for about a month, and again I say, I was fine with this. But then the turn happened. How men can ruin a perfectly good arrangement like this, I will never know. But he ruined it.
Now fellas, we have heard many lines to get us out of your bed and to stop the “relationship”.
- “Let’s be friends”
- “I’m not looking for something serious right now”
- “I have a lot on my plate”
- “The timing just is not right”
- And the classic “It’s not you, it’s me”
I love it! You're the bomb, girlfriend! Next time, let the air out of his tires before you leave!
I still can't believe that happened to you…the nerve!!
I am speechless. What kind of man sleeps with you but won’t be seen in public with you? He played the race card? I’d like to call him some very choice names right now. I grew up in Texas, and the KKK was very active in my neck of the woods. I’ve seen enough burning crosses in my lifetime…UGH!!!! Bastard!
Ahem. Well, you know what? You have tremendous strength of character to get dressed and leave without saying a nasty word. I applaud your choice. It was the right one. Perhaps your lily white character has rubbed off on his lily white ass…Here’s hoping.
I’m done ranting. Well done, you.
You are too funny. And trust me, there were some choice words I wanted to have with him, but I was afraid that me turning truly “ghetto” would elicit him to put on his white hood and promptly chase me out of his house!
We can’t have that! No white hoods unless it’s a little D/s play, and it doesn’t sound like he was into that sort of fun. Of course, I think he might benefit from a little tying up. Some slap me…
Some*one* rather……pardon my typo…
