Succulent (Chocolate Flava 2)

KWC624: Well, I’m a little too old for you.

MAXXINE: Okay.

KWC624: I’m 6'4" 218 pounds—athletic body, light brown skin and mixed parents. My mother is white and my father is black.

MAXXINE: Do you have a picture?

KWC624: Yes, I’m going to email it to you now.

MAXXINE: Thank you. So, exactly how old are you?

KWC624: Smile.

MAXXINE: Okay.

KWC624: I’m too old for you, dear. What do you do for a living?

MAXXINE: I’m a high school English teacher.

KWC624: Do you have a man now?

MAXXINE: Yes, I’m married.

KWC624: Damn, just my luck. I should have known a sista as fine as you wouldn’t be available.

MAXXINE: I appreciate the compliment.

We continued to chat as I waited for his picture to arrive in my mailbox. We talked about my relationship with my husband and other miscellaneous topics.

KWC624: Mail sent.

I clicked on the mailbox icon and opened his email. I waited a few seconds before the picture downloaded completely. When it did, I was speechless. He looked so beautiful. His physical appearance reminded me of my husband. His complexion was perfectly bronzed. He had a chiseled face and well-defined arms. They were rippled with muscles. The brotha was built, a black Adonis.

MAXXINE: You’re a very handsome man—debonair.

KWC624: Thank you, dear.

MAXXINE: You’re very welcome.

KWC624: How long have you been married?

MAXXINE: Almost eleven years.

KWC624: Hmm, I see.

There was a pause before he replied again.

KWC624: So tell me…

MAXXINE: Yes.

KWC624: What does an English teacher like you do outside of school?

MAXXINE: I’m a tennis instructor, as well as being an indoor track and field coach for the girls’ team.

KWC624: Oh really. I bet you have good form, too.

MAXXINE: LOL. Yes, I do.
