Place D'Orleans, located in the East End of Ottawa, Ontario, is a fairly busy mall. The locals are primarily Francophones, and this suits Oscar Nogabandi and his fiancee Marguerite Monceau just fine since French is their first language. To say that this interracial couple looks unique is not doing them service. They come from different worlds, literally. Lucky for them, that's part of the fun...
Oscar Nogabandi is part of the Avant Garde of the New African. One of those African men who aren't afraid to walk around places like Paris, Marseille, Vienna or London. Educated, handsome, fearless and outgoing, Oscar Nogabandi is a citizen of the world and lets nothing and no one stop him from living life to the fullest. The Congolese-born scholar and traveler has quite a way with the ladies, something that Marguerite, his darling fiancee, knows all too damn well...
"Babe, I like your farts," Oscar Nogabandi said, smiling at his fiancee Marguerite Monceau. The six-foot-tall, curvaceous, blonde-haired and blue-eyed young French Canadian woman looked at him, stunned by his words. The two of them sat inside the food court at Place D'Orleans Shopping Center, just a regular couple chilling. At least, that's how they looked to outsiders walking by...

Marguerite looked at Oscar, the tall, dark and handsome, bald-headed and bearded African gentleman whom she'd fallen in love with. The brother from Congo was full of surprises, to say the least...
"Alright," Marguerite replied, and she took an extra-large bite out of her cheese sandwich and smiled faintly at Oscar Nogabandi. Ever since Marguerite met Oscar, one fine day at Carleton University, life had been nothing but a roller coaster. When Marguerite first moved to the City of Ottawa, Ontario, from her hometown of Sherbrooke, Quebec, she weighed only a hundred and forty pounds. Thanks to Oscar, all that has changed...
"You look lovely," Oscar Nogabandi said, and Marguerite Monceau nodded, flashed her fiance a bright smile, and then took a bite out of her plate of rice and beans. If a woman's body doesn't change during a relationship, then she's not really happy. Most women gain a few pounds once they're in a steady relationship with a good man. It's simply mother nature at work, nothing wrong with that...
