Hey, girls. And guys. How's it going today? I'm doing fine, thank you. At least, I think I'm fine. Sometimes, people can really surprise you. My name is Antoinette Zephyr. Born and raised in the City of Toronto, Ontario. Six feet two inches and one hundred and seventy six pounds of hard-bodied and muscular, dark-skinned Black female athlete, that's me. I've got face, chest, body and booty, folks. For I am a Black Amazon. I play Varsity Rugby for the University of Toronto, where I'm studying Engineering. I will graduate with my bachelor's degree in a few months. Twenty four hours ago, my boyfriend Joel Saint Fleur confessed to me that he was Bisexual. And I nearly passed out. I was that shocked. I really didn't need that kind of drama. You see, I recently got selected to play for a WNBA team in the United States of America. This should be the happiest time of my life. But it isn't.
You've got to understand that Jean and I have known each other for many years. My mother Marguerite Zephyr met his mother Joanne Saint Fleur while they were studying at the University of Montreal more than twenty years ago, and have been best friends since. Our fathers, Benjamin Zephyr and Luther Saint Fleur serve in the Toronto Police Service together. Joel and I grew up together. He lives six doors down from me. I've known him my whole life. When he told me this shocking truth about himself, I honestly thought he was joking. Joel is one of the blandest guys I know. Five feet ten inches tall, slim, with coconut-brown skin. He's a Theology major at the University of Toronto. He wants to be an ordained minister, in the Haitian Church of Canada for crying out loud. How could he drop this on me?
Now, before some of you liberals accuse me of being homophobic or insensitive, you should also know that I am Bisexual myself. I love both women and men. In fact, prior to dating Joel, I was in a long-term relationship with a tall, gorgeous young woman of Brazilian and Ethiopian descent named Nadira Velasquez. My woman was smoking hot, folks. Cute face, long Black hair, wonderfully curvy body, light brown skin and big round booty. Exactly the way I liked my women. Unfortunately, Nadira went back to Brazil due to family circumstances so I found myself alone. I was heartbroken over losing her and Joel comforted me. That's why I gave his soon to be sorry behind a chance when he asked me out.
I thought of Joel as a safe guy who wouldn't drop any surprises on me. I've dated lots of women and men who were less than honest with me. Some women I've hooked up with were married and neglected to tell me. Some men I dealt with also had the same problem. With Joel I felt safe because he was friendly, super polite and nerdy Joel. The guy next door. The nerdy dude who had a crush on me since forever. I surprised both of our families when I started dating him. I liked Joel. He kind of grows on you. The way the Steve Urkel character grew on Laura Winslow in the American TV series Family Matters. With Joel as my mate, I sought to regain a semblance of a normal life.
