Meet Shayla Butera, a six-foot-tall and curvy, dark-skinned and absolute stunning young black woman of Rwandan descent living in the City of Ottawa, Ontario. After graduating from Carleton University with a computer science degree, Shayla began working for Shared Services, the high-tech government go-between agency. Like a lot of today's young black women, Shayla thinks the modern black man has many shortcomings, so she's eager to explore interracial dating.
Shayla Butera firmly believes that since black men are dating white women, Asian women and Latin women left and right, then black women should do the same. Shayla used to date a young white guy named Spencer Connors, and things didn't work out because he was too nice for her. After splitting from Spencer, Shayla decided to explore gentlemen of the Asian persuasion. After a few dates with men of the Asian continent, Shayla finally found one who was to her liking...
"You look lovely," said Victor Mizushima, and the tall, slender young Japanese émigré smiled at his gorgeous date, causing Shayla to blush. The two of them met a few months ago through online dating. Victor is a newcomer to the City of Ottawa, Ontario. He was born in the City of Hakodate, Japan, and raised in the environs of Vancouver, British Columbia. Victor studied management at the University of British Columbia, and has been working for KPMG since moving to Ottawa. It's been a hell of a ride so far.
Shayla Butera and her handsome date Victor Mizushima walked through the Place D'Orleans Shopping Center in eastern Ottawa, attracting smiles and stares wherever they went. No one could deny that the tall, sexy young black woman and the well-dressed, quiet young Japanese man made a nice couple. A black man walking around with a chubby white woman gawked at Shayla and Victor, and the young Rwandan woman grinned. Two can play that game, Shayla thought victoriously.
"This country is so funny," Shayla said as she and Victor sat in the mall food court, grabbing some shawarma sandwiches and Pepsis. As the two of them dined, a skinny, effeminate white male walked by with another skinny effeminate male, this one of the Middle Eastern persuasion. Like a lot of African women, Shayla was on the fence about same-sex relationships. On the one hand, like most women, Shayla found effeminate males funny, friendly and nonthreatening. On the other hand, due to her strong religious beliefs, Shayla disagreed with their lifestyle...
"When it comes to sexual matters, my policy is live and let live," Victor said evenly, and Shayla frowned, but nodded anyways. They continued dining, and while they ate, a short-haired, masculine black woman walked by holding hands with a long-haired, curvy blonde who looked like a centerfold. Victor saw the interracial lesbian couple and smiled at them while Shayla licked her lips and then smirked, a precursor to a snide remark or something to that effect.
"Damn, nowadays white women are stealing black women too, not just black men, wow," Shayla said, smirking as the interracial lesbian couple went down the escalator. Victor felt like saying something curt to Shayla, for he didn't like her comments, but he held his tongue like the well-mannered, prim and proper Japanese gentleman that his parents raised him to be. Shayla was sexy and smart, but so uncouth sometimes. What was her problem?
"Love is love," Victor said, and as Shayla went on and on about this type of relationship or that one, someone caught his attention. A tall, muscular and handsome young black man walked by, talking and laughing with a tall, lean and wiry black male friend. The two young men wore sports jackets and jeans, and had the look of college athletes. The muscular one locked eyes with Victor and nodded almost imperceptibly before continuing on with his companion. The two of them walked into the Dollarama store, and Victor lost track of them.
"Do you know them?" Shayla asked Victor, nudging him with her elbow, and Victor blinked. She totally noticed the way he looked at the two young black men and was a bit put off by that. I hope Victor isn't one of those Asian guys who has a lot of black male friends because that would get real boring real fast, Shayla thought, a bit annoyed. Shayla wanted nothing more to do with the brothers. She wanted to marry a wealthy, non-black husband, have a mixed family, and a lovely house in the suburbs. Nothing wrong with that at all...
