beautiful skin complexion you have. I really enjoyed every single moment of this night.”
“I’m glad that you feel the same way. Because I was so afraid that…”
Antonio pulled her in close. He snapped his eyes shut, rocking her back and forth. “You don’t have to worry about anything. I definitely like who you are. And your ability to just be chill and whatever.”
So from that point forward, Jasmine and Antonio became a couple. They quickly cleaned up, wiping away their come, trying to scramble for their clothes— people were coming—and they dashed away for Jasmine’s Ferrari.
They didn’t want to go too fast. So did Jasmine dropped Antonio off by his dorm, and she went back to her parents place. For several days, they didn’t even talk. Only casual text messages to check up on each other. But nothing special. For some time, Jasmine wondered if Antonio had lost interest in her. If it was all a fluke. If he was all faking it.
Maybe he doesn’t really like me, Jasmine thought, the next week . Maybe he really was just fronting it all. He was just trying to humor a black woman. What was I thinking? Could I really go out with someone like him? Maybe he thought me no better than a pity fuck.
Then, his messages came in. They would go and hang out at the beach or a park or at her place. She every single one many times before getting on her good clothes, and racing out the door to go meet him once more.
It turned out that he really enjoyed her, truly. So they spent many days together, walking in parks, helping each other in economics, and enjoying what time they had.
As the semester went on, Jasmine found herself worried. Antonio would eventually have to return to the Philippines. His visa wouldn’t last forever and ever. Certainly, she couldn’t ask him to give up all of his family and leave behind the only home he knew. And certainly, Antonio couldn’t ask her to do the same.
Not seeing a compromise, Jasmine found herself in despair. Would it all work out? How could she possibly make a relationship work with an international man? She thought about giving it all up, the romance, the sex. There were plenty of men in her backyard who could treat her right, right?
No. I’ve never met a man like him before.
She wanted to make it all work, Jasmine did. She wanted to have a romance with Antonio. No one else. Because a man like him did not come very often. The man like him was rare, no matter what country she was living in.
Jasmine researched night after night on online interracial international forms for solution. There were others in her place, who had problems with their spouses abroad. Who were separated because of circumstance or ugly situations. Jasmine read and read and read. Finally, she had a solution.
Being that her parents owned a business, and being that she was about to graduate, Jasmine thought about starting up her own blog. She would help other young black women out there with interracial dating advice, and moreover, she would help them with haircare products. Her mother had been whining for some time about not being able to understand the Internet and its intricacies. Jasmine understood very well how to use it.
And she was so successful.
Within a couple of months, Jasmine was raking in thousands of dollars from her online advice column. And by networking with her mother, she was able to redirect several affiliate links back into her haircare line, making even more money for the family overall.
With personal money to spare for herself, Jasmine found it possible to travel to the Philippines frequently. And Antonio and Jasmine were united permanently.
It became no problem at all to bounce between the two countries. Between America and General Santos.
Jasmine had never been happier in her life. Everything had come to fruition: she found what she wanted in life, a good man, and she found the passion to spend up all of her hours and days. Haircare, blogging, and working with her family
