Snow Princess II

I got home around seven in the morning after exchanging numbers…feeling good about this thing…not tired at all…and not sleepy…my mind was racing with so many thoughts…so many questions….so many assumptions …about this and that…so much so...I had to tell myself to put the brakes on…I wrote the events in my diary under November 24…

I connected Garfi and Cousin up on a three way convo….to let him know I was safe and at home after listening to... two messages from him and one from Cousin… all they really wanted to know if I did the do…I assured them that it was nothing like that…and then Garfi – the purveyor of the goods on gay men in the islands -- gave me the dirty—dirty… run down on snow man. Apparently…he’s rich, dates young black boys …if he’s in a relationship with you…he likes to keep his man "kept"…you stay at home and not work…for he likes access to you at all times...Garfi tells me that I don’t fit his usual mold…as I don’t give that much control to anyone…let alone a boyfriend…we all laughed.

Snow man called at four in the afternoon to invite me out to dinner at a place of my choice…so I told him I’ll meet him at Columbus Tavern…over the bridge to the resort island. It’s an exclusive Mecca for rich boating patrons…the slips are filled with luxury liners and plus I like the atmosphere…the restaurant sits over looking an inlet into the island…it's one of the seven wonders at sunset...We had a great dinner and great conversation…amidst the stares of the local patrons…we were both well known in the islands…he knew more about me than I of him…apparently he did his homework…I did mine…at the end of dinner we casually strolled over to the nearby casino at the Dragons bar for after dinner drinks and more convo…it was there he told me point blankly…that he would like to pursue "us" seriously…I choked…for I wanted to laugh really…I said to myself…he must be kidding to think that I would give up my job…my good job…to be a kept man…now the idea was amusing…but this negro wasn’t about to become another statistic…on the employment line!

After I collected myself…I told him we should take it slow and see where it goes from here…I was in no way giving up my freedom…I took the opportunity to talk and stress about how much I loved my job…I’m a senior buyer for the men’s division for a huge local retailer…and I traveled quite frequently…in addition to running the local beauty pageant…that also required me to travel.

On my way home…I stopped by good sister…Garfi… and relayed the events…he told me that I handled it well but now snow man will turn up the charm cause I’m a challenge…and I should beware…Of course you know…homeboy was no spring chicken…and if snow man knew better he would run far away from him…

Monday…he called me at the office to say good morning…around two I got two dozen yellow roses (my favorites) with a card inviting me out to dinner…at my favorite Italian restaurant in the west…

Tuesday… I left the island for Panama via Miami…he called that morning…to wish me a safe flight and asked when would I be returning…I told him I was staying over in Ft. Lauderdale on my return for the weekend…and I gave him my united states cell number

Saturday…my cell rings, it’s him…he’s in the Ft. Lauderdale…and he wants me to check out of my hotel…and come over to his condo at the Breakers on Ocean Drive. Now snow man knows how to impress…Garfi told me to beware…I checked out and he was downstairs…

Saturday and Sunday were two good and memorable days…did a little shopping…a whole lot of fine dinning…the movies…the beach…and attended a fashion show for evening gowns on Las Olas…(I was checking out gowns for our rep for Miss World). There were a few occasions where the kissing got intense but I begged off and told him that I wasn’t ready…it was too soon…I had already made up my mind that it would be no sex…until after a month…it would be Christmas Eve…if he lasted that long….I smiled to myself.

I saw him every night the next week upon our return…I must admit I like being showered with gifts here and there…at the end of the third week…I received a federal express package from him and in it was a check for five thousand dollars and a note… to do what I felt like with it …he was in love and so on and on…and as a token of his appreciation…this was an early Christmas gift…I didn’t know how to take it…so you know I called my sisters…Garfi…said take it…Cousin said everything comes with a price and it’s not free…be careful…so I called my brother and he picked me up…I showed him the check and told him to look at the name of the sender…he was shocked…that’s how I came out to him…so I told him the story…and he asked me how I felt about snow man…I told him I liked him but was not in love with him…so he said it’s a pre-Christmas gift …it’s your decision…but if it was his…he would take it…it was a gift…I took it and deposited it…

As Christmas was fifteen days away…I decided to use the money on him…in our conversations he mentioned that none of his lovers ever bought him a gift as it was him who always did the buying…I pulled out my creative book in my mind and went to work…I checked out his condo and got real cozy with his secretary and put my plan---twelve gift giving days of Christmas--- into action…eleven days before Christmas he would receive a gift…in different places at different times…when he least expected it…each gift came with a card…signed by me…wishing him Merry Xmas…it worked and he was surprised and amazed how I could get into his office at all and leave a gift on his desk…with his favorite brand of coffee already brewed….or as he was leaving work for the airport receive a package by DHL … or a gift on his bed when he got home…or a gift delivered by his best friend (who I knew didn’t like me…it was all apart of my plan to divide and conquer)….a gift left on the front seat of his Mercedes…or a gift delivered by one of his staff members while he was eating lunch…it was all too much for him…and each time he would call and thank me profusely…saying that he has to watch out for me…now his friends were impressed by this…although they did not like me…they were jealous bitches just waiting in the trenches to cut me down...they didn’t like the fact that he was dating me…a so-called snobbish bitch…all in all he got eleven gifts up until Christmas eve…and then the twelve gift was given to him at 12:01 am on Christmas morning…I came out of the bathroom in a white robe and said to him let’s go in the bedroom … I release the robe and then he saw his twelfth gift with a red bow wrapped on it…Merry Xmas I said…and with that we consummated our relationship intimately…

That morning our relationship status changed…I would now be forever called a Snow Princess...
