LIES, BROKEN PROMISES AND HEARTACHE

My name is Victor Lance Morgan.  I am 39 years old and a former substance abuser.  Cocaine, marijuana, and alcohol.  Did it for ten years.  Something came over me one day and I knew I needed to change my life.  Been clean and sober for the last eight years now.  My motto: take it one day at a time.  It’s something I struggle with on a daily basis.  Probably for the rest of my life.  I know I made the choice to do the things I did, but I feel like I’ve lost a lot of my life. A lot of time.  But,  I am a strong believer in God.  It was Him that helped me turn my life around. Now that I have been given a second chance, I’m gonna try to do all the right things.

BMW.  Yeah, that’s what I drive, but it’s also what the ladies call me.  BMW.  Black Man Working.  I’m single and no children.  I’m not opposed to getting married.  I would love to settle down one day and have a family.  I just haven’t been lucky enough to find that special one.  I know God will lead me in the right direction.

As a matter of fact, He’s already started. Sent me one of the most beautiful sistahs that I ever thought existed.  Shárei. She is intelligent, ambitious, independent, sexy, loving and caring.  I’ve never met anyone like her before.  I’ve only known her for a short time, but it seems like it’s been a lifetime.  Time flies when I’m with her.  It’s so comfortable just being with her.  She’s so easy to talk to.  What really scares me most is that I know I already love her.  Yeah, scares the hell outta me.  I didn’t think something like this would happened to me, especially this soon.  I’m still trying to get myself together.  Besides, I still have some other women in my life.  Well, they’re just friends.  I’ve told Shárei about these other women cause that’s how I am.  Always keep things on the up and up.  She understands that she’s my heart, my motivation.  A positive effect in my life.  My Number One Lady.

Yes indeed.  Shárei is definitely the best thing that has happened to me in a long time.

My name is Shárei Baldwin.  Born and raised in Harlem,  I moved to sunny California and have been here for more than 10 years.  I work as the Administrator for an entertainment company.  I handle the day-to-day functions of the company, oversee Human Resources and take care of the accounting.  It can get taxing sometimes, but they pay me well and I have an office overlooking the Pacific Ocean here in Santa Monica.

I have always found California men to be somewhat trifling and just a different bred from the men back East.  That was until recently.  See I met this really cool guy. His name is Victor.  Victor Lance Morgan.  Um.  Just saying his name gets my pulse racing.  He is so fione.  Sandy brown wavy hair, the kind you can just run your fingers through.  Hazel eyes, full kissable lips, a heart melting smile, all wrapped in a smooth, caramel-colored skin.  Oh, let me not forget.  Victor has one cute ass.  Sho’ can fill out a pair of jean quite nicely.  Delicious.

I met him at a party.  We danced and we talked.  It seemed like we were old friends.  We exchanged numbers.  Before I could call him, he beat me to the punch.  From that time on, we have been together, inseparable.  Instance attraction, and I do mean attraction.

That was three years ago.  Things are a lot different now.

We use to spend Sunday evenings together just watching television.  We’d go to the movies or out to dinner.  The weekends were ours since our schedules during the week didn’t jive.
