"So, um, after five years together, you see fit to tell me that you like my farts?" Jeanne Junie Anglade asked as she sat across from her fiancΓ© Stephen Legros inside the food court at the Blair Shopping Center in the east end of Ottawa, Ontario. The young Haitian woman looked at the big and tall, dark-skinned brother who leaned back in his chair, a satisfied smug on his handsome face. Will wonders never cease? Jeanne thought with a smirk.
"I guess so," Stephen replied, and Jeanne Junie grinned, recalling what she thought of him the first time they met. It was five years ago, during the summer of 2012, and she showed up at the Silver City movie theater to catch a movie. The Dictator was playing, and while in line at the box office, Jeanne Junie spotted a big and tall, handsome and well-dressed brother.
"Are you Ethiopian?" Stephen asked her with a hesitant smile, and Jeanne Junie smiled and shook her head. Truth be told, she was about to ask the handsome brother if he was Somali, but when he spoke to her she detected the faintest traces of a Haitian accent. Jeanne Junie smiled and talked to Stephen, and then asked him the question that was burning on her tongue...
"What movie are you watching?" Jeanne Junie asked Stephen, and he smiled and pointed to the big poster of actor Sacha Baron Cohen in military garb, sitting on a camel. Jeanne Junie grinned, pleased with Stephen's answer. They ended up going into the theater showroom together and watching the same movie. The whole encounter seemed like Kismet to both Stephen and Jeanne Junie...
In fact, they sat next to each other, and talked like old friends as the movie played. Sure, they annoyed the hell out of fellow moviegoers but neither Stephen nor Jeanne Junie cared. The instant chemistry between them was wondrous to behold. After the movie, Stephen and Jeanne Junie walked to the nearby OC Transpo bus station and rode the bus to Hurdman Station. Along the way, Stephen asked Jeanne Junie for her number, and she took his instead...
"I don't have a cell phone at the moment, honest, give me yours and I'll call you," Jeanne Junie said to Stephen, and the burly young Haitian man looked at her, and smiled. The tall, curvy, brown-skinned Haitian beauty with the long dark hair and full lips was quite enchanting, but she drove a hard bargain. Every guy knew that when you gave a gal your phone number she wasn't going to call you, but Stephen decided to take a chance on Jeanne Junie. She seemed lively and spontaneous, different from the boring, image-conscious gals he usually dealt with at Carleton University.
"Cool," Stephen said, and he wrote his number on a piece of paper and gave it to Jeanne Junie as they got off the bus at Hurdman Station. The young woman smiled and pocketed it, then wished him a good day. Stephen watched her go, and he smiled as he admired the hell out of Jeanne Junie's shapely ass. Still, he felt a pang of regret since he didn't think he'd hear from her again. All the girls he met seemed to follow the same predictable and dull script...
