So we have come to the end of Ambivalence and I am so sad. Dionnah and Michael were the ones who kept me going. I hope someone who reads this will know and understand true love. Love doesn't know race, colour, or social status. When you love someone, you simply just love them. I'm not afraid to love who I love and I will always put my happiness first. I hope many of you reading this will do the same. Thank you for your support. I really and truly appreciate you all. XOXO ~ CASSANDRA LENNOX.
DIONNAH'S POVIt was almost the end of my final year in high school, the moment I was dreading the most. The moment when I had to part from my one true love, the man of my dreams, the one who held my heart, Derick.Derick and I had been together forever. We were always doing everything together, from studying to going to church, going to school, or even just hanging out. Our parents were really good friends. I knew they were secretly planning our wedding and even picking out baby names behind our backs.Who could blame them, I was also doing some planning in my head.Since Derick took my virginity, we'd become even closer. I felt confident about our love and hoped that we would be together forever.It was the Friday that Derick was going to leave for college."Dionnah, Derick's here," I heard my mom say as she knocked on my door.Derick was leaving for college in a different state and I was flying out with him. It was hard for me to accept at first but I eventually did. Derick reassur
SEVEN YEARS LATER DIONNAH'S POVBeep! Beep! Beep!I didn't get a chance to settle in my office before my phone started to buzz..."Delaney designs, Dionnah Delaney speaking how may I help you?" I answered"Good you're in," Chirped my assistant on the other end of the line..."What is it, Amelia?""Listen boss I'm coming by your office right now, we have matters of utmost importance to discuss.""Fine," I sighed into the receiver before hanging up.I knew what was of grave importance to my pushy little assistant. She had been nagging me for a month now about going on a blind date with a friend of hers from college. I didn't do blind dates because they usually turned out to be disasters, but I finally said yes because I needed Amelia to lay off my back. I told myself that I would just find an excuse on the day of the date I thought to myself. But Amelia was not having it.Five minutes later Amelia was in my office pestering me about what I was going to wear on my little date."I'm just
I reached home at around 6:10 pm. I was in no mood to face my sister because I knew I would be ridiculed when I tell her the blind date didn't go well. I entered the house and headed for the stairs. "Hey, back already?" It wasn't my sister who spoke, it was Jonathan. "Yeah," I answered. "I take it your little date wasn't to your liking." "Not really, he was just not what I pictured when Amelia described him, I mean he was... but wasn't if you get my meaning," I tried to explain. "Not really. Why don't you elaborate." Jon spoke, looking confused. "Well, he was perfect. Tall, very well built, very, very good looking, and well put together. He even smelled amazing." "Then what was the problem?" Jon shrugged. "Amelia didn't tell me he was not African American." "So?" Jon scoffed. "Jon he was white and I had never dated a white man before, I don't think I want to." I snickered. Jon wasn't laughing. I immediately sensed that he was offended. "Well I mean no offense to you or any
MICHAEL'S POVI arrived at the restaurant 20 minutes early and got a table. Agreeing to this blind date was something out of the norm for me. When Amelia told me about her hot, educated, ambitious boss I knew I should give it a shot.Being a seal made it hard to keep a woman. I missed being with a woman, someone to call my own. We occasionally went to places where we would meet hot and horny girls eager to fuck or even just suck a seal's cock. I never fucked any of them, only got my dick blown, and then I would call it a night. I realized I needed more than just one-night stands.So I decided when I returned home I would take out Amelia's boss. Amelia didn't tell me many details, only that her name was Dionnah. She was 26, an accountant, and African American.I thought the name Dionnah sounded familiar but I didn't question Amelia about it.I didn't know if I should trust Amelia to set me up on a date. What if this chick was hideous or even a man pretending to be a woman? I love Ameli
DIONNAH'S POVI got out of bed at 8. Even though it was a Saturday I didn't like sleeping in. I was always a morning person. Thinking about the day ahead and the new possibilities to do great always got me going.I loved the smell of the crisp morning air and the smell of Danielle's early morning breakfasts that I looked forward to.The only thing I had on my mind was relaxing and spending my day by the pool. I got up and fished out a red and yellow polka dot bikini before heading to the bathroom to brush my teeth and take a quick shower.I put on shorts and a tank top then headed downstairs. Upon entering the living room I noticed it was empty. I strolled to the kitchen to find it empty also. A note was sitting on the counter.'Morning Dee didn't want to wake you. Jon and I are gone to pick up his brother. Be back in a couple of hours. XOXO Dani.I sighed, "So much for an early breakfast."I decided to make an egg omelet with toast. I was wavering between having orange juice or mimos
If I had a weak heart, I would be dead. I could die of fright and no one would know why, except for the tall, built, handsome, oh so sexy man standing in front of me. While on our date, I didn't get the chance to appreciate how good-looking he truly was.He wore a Navy-blue T-shirt that hugged his strong, toned torso, his charcoal-coloured jeans pants covered his long-toned legs that could run a hundred marathons without buckling and caving in underneath him. His outfit was completed with sneakers that matched the colour of his jeans. I could see the ink that covered his right arm. It was from his wrist leading up to the length of his arm and disappearing under the sleeve of his shirt. I could make out some of the images. I saw a rose with a name scribbled on the stem, Jesus Christ with his hands clasped, and some teardrops flowing from his eyes. I never thought about tattoos being sexy, but looking at his, I got an uneasy feeling in my stomach. My eyes lingered on his arms, appre
His eyes were like two laser beams burning into my soul. I couldn't take it anymore. “What?” I inquired. He just stood there still, assessing me, scanning me with those damn eyes of his and then he spoke. “Why did you run out on our date?” He asked.“Why didn't you tell them we've met before?” I countered.“Would you rather I did?”“Actually, no,” I blurted. “It was my first blind date, and I wasn't expecting someone like you.”“Someone like me?” He asked with eyebrows raised.“You know, Amelia didn't tell me you were white, and that threw me off. I mean, I've never dated a white guy before. I, much rather prefer men of the same colour as me,” I said, hoping I didn't sound like a bitch.“Oh, now I see. Are you prejudiced?”“Of course not. My sister's fiancé is white, and he's remarkable. It's just not my preference.”“OK I get it,” He smiled.“So, have you ever been with a black girl? – I mean, dated a black girl,” I corrected.“I date all different types of women of all shades, colo
The rest of the weekend flew by quickly. I stayed in my room mostly, so I could finish up some documents on my computer. The fashion show was only a few months away, and I needed to be on track with everything.When I woke up Monday, I felt refreshed. I got up to take a shower when I heard movements in the hallway. I placed my ear on the door and I listened. My heart jumped when I heard a small knock on the door. I bit my bottom lip in order for me not to scream, and then I waited and heard feet shuffling away. I took a deep breath before I opened the door. My eyes landed on the trinkets down below and my breath caught in my chest. There was a light-brown teddy bear wearing a red bow. It was almost as tall as me. A box of chocolates lay perfectly in a heart-shaped box next to a well-put-together bouquet of Lilacs. There was a huge white box with a red bow. I looked up and down the hallway to see if I saw anybody, but I didn't.I hurriedly moved the items inside. I flung the bear on my
