Thirty year old Justin and twenty-eight year old April Reed were sitting together, bored as usual, and unable to find anything interesting on TV.
April was a very beautiful lady with long, wavy, chestnut hair and light green eyes. Her breasts stood out nicely, being only palm sized but nicely shaped overall, but her long graceful legs were what drew most men to her and her husband was no exception. The only trait some men found unattractive was her sometimes overly pale skin but this wasn't a bad thing for those who liked white women.
Justin was a high class white man with bleached blond hair and blue eyes, but a little round in the middle. He had been a stronger man when he was younger, but since he started to eat richer foods and didn't have the time for exercise, that all began to change. The main criticism that women who knew him would say that he needed to exercise a lot more often but luckily his wife didn't seem to care about his weight.
A loud ring interrupted the couples' boredom. Justin picked up the phone with a small sigh of annoyance and, for this, many would have forgiven him for sounding cross on the phone, "Hello, Reed residence?"
A pause, then a familiar voice answered him, "Hey, Justin, this is Mark, your boss and I was wondering if you and your lovely wife would like to have dinner with me sometime?"
A Frown edged downward on his pretty boy lips as a momentary suspicion crossed his mind. Mark Philops was an even more successful man than himself with a killer body unlike Justin but since he was black as midnight, Justin knew Mark would never have a chance in stealing his April away. Ever since Mark had seen a picture of his beautiful wife, he was always being overly friendly by letting him take longer breaks or letting him off early, something which made him suspicious Mark may have a thing for his lovely wife.
"Well let me ask my wife first," Justin said, nervously, as he covered up the mouthpiece. "Hey, dear, my boss is wondering whether we'd like to go out to have some dinner with him; would you like to go?"
April paid him a blank glance and then a bright smile crossed her full lips, "Sure honey, its been a long time since we've gone out lately!" She exclaimed excitedly.
Justin winced slightly at these words; yes, it was true but only because his wife never showed much of a desire to go out to dinner. "Okay, what time would you like to go out and where?"
"How does six thirty, at Sparta's sound?" Mark asked him with perfect confidence that he would not decline. Predictably, he couldn't see why not, so Justin hesitantly agreed, unsure why exactly his boss was showing so much interest in him but felt it would be rude to refuse.

April was wearing a long black silky dress which looked like it might have cost a thousand dollars. She didn't over-decorate herself with jewelry or makeup since this wasn't really a date or anything; besides, she never had been much of a jewelry or makeup person. Natural was best in her book and to use such cheap charms to look good was a definite sign of insecurity. Nevertheless she still wore some of her favorite pearly lipstick and light eye shadow. To say the least, she was the best looking woman in the restaurant.
Justin was hardly the best looking man in the place; however, due to his extremely expensive tuxedo and nice, shiny black shoes, he still drew some glances from the ladies.
They were walking, hand in hand together, looking like the beautiful couple everyone envied and loved all at the same time. Both were immensely satisfied at the attention they got from other people, singles and couples alike.
Mark was sitting at a fairly discreet table, his body lean and hard as ever, with a suit which looked far more expensive than Justin's, by far. Getting up, he smiled and shook his employee's hand briefly and then took April's hand and kissed it with his thick lips drawing a look of bewilderment upon her beautiful lips since Justin never kissed her hand before.
As they sat down, Justin felt more then a little intimidated by his hulking boss. To most ladies Mark was a very handsome looking black man; in fact, even women who usually didn't find black men all that attractive found Mark to be an exception. Yet, Justin still firmly believed in his marriage relationship and sincerely doubted his boss would ever be a serious threat to his relationship with April.
Mark was very aggressive in conversation, but then again, that was why he made it so high in the corporation and Justin was still struggling. Usually every time Justin tried to make any sort of comment, Mark would always make him look foolish by finding some way to put him down. Tonight was no exception, whenever he so much as opened his mouth to try and state his opinion about something in the conversation, Mark would usually say something along the lines of, "you're not even trying to follow what I am saying are you, man?" To say the least, it made him sorely regret bringing his wife along to meet his boss.
April, however, didn't regret meeting this tall dark and handsome stranger. Although she never admitted this to her husband, she always found black men to be extremely attractive in a primal sort of way and Mark's seeming cleverness impressed her enormously. She didn't like the way he always put her husband down but at the same time she noticed that Justin always seemed to set himself up. Most of the jokes at her husband's expense she found to be kind of funny and she had to catch herself from bursting into gales of laughter at the more hurtful ones.
