Description

Jungle fever. That's what everybody thinks when they see us together. As if sex is the only thing in the minds of Black men and White women when we get together. Well, as someone in such a relationship I resent that. My name is Anne-Marie Longueil. I was born and raised in the City of Trois-Rivieres in the Province of Quebec. My world changed when I moved to Metropolitan Montreal to attend University. It's where I met the young man destined to change my life forever. Jean-Francois Poisson, a proud native of Northern Haiti sent to study at the University of Montreal by his relatively well-to-do family.I have quite simply never met anyone like Jean-Francois. Tall, dark and handsome. So sure of himself. Loud and brash, yet so sweet when you get to know him. I've seen good-looking Black men before, and that's not why I was drawn to him. It had nothing to do with his sheer physical presence, which he had a lot of at six feet two inches and two hundred and sixty pounds. No, it was something else which drew me to him. Simply put, he got on my blasted nerves. He didn't like the Quebec culture, or our way of speaking the French language. And he was quite vocal about it.As a proud Quebecoise, I wanted to teach him the error of his ways. To be blunt, I wanted to smack the hell out of him. My Quebec heritage is something I am quite proud of. I am what my people call a Purelaine. My family has been in Quebec for a long time. Way back when it was called New France. Long before the British dominated what would later become the Confederation of Canada. Want to know how to spot a Quebecer? Easy. We're sexier and smarter than other Canadians, especially those blasted Anglophones. They envy us, you know. We walk a little straighter and carryourselves with more confidence. We're more passionate, and livelier. And I am a proud representative of my kind.I stand six foot one inch tall, neither fat nor slender. I am a real woman and real women have curves. Because of my height, curly blonde hair and icy blue eyes, people are forever asking me if I'm of Nordic ancestry. As a Quebecoise of purest lineage, I am deeply offended. Hell no to the power of ten! Gallic blood flows through my veins. My family lived in the City of Calais, Republic of France, before moving to the Province of Quebec, Canada. That was centuries ago. Anyhow, where was I? Oh, yes. I was about to tell you how I almost smacked the hell out of my future husband the first time we met. He was big and tall, intimidating in the eyes of many but not to me.You've never seen a Quebecoise when one of gets mad, have you? Other women got nothing on us! Like a fury from the deepest pit of hell I went up to the offending man, and let him know what I thought of him. Jean-Francois stood his ground, and looked at me cockily. A Haitian man's specialty. I told him that he should watch his words, lest he offend the wrong person and get his ass kicked. Jean-Francois was clearly not used to being spoken to in this manner. Nevertheless, he grinned that charming grin I would later come to love.
