Marilyn Yan is a young Chinese-Canadian woman living in the City of Vancouver, British Columbia. A grad student at the prestigious Simon Fraser University, Marilyn is close to getting her MBA but aside from academic success, life sucks for this gal. It seems that everything that could have gone wrong in her life has happened. What's bugging Marilyn, you may ask? This lovely lady is feeling miserable and forlorn after her former fiancΓ© Tyler Winters ran off with her cousin Mario Yan. That's right, the young man who once asked Marilyn to marry him fell in love with her male cousin. Isn't that peachy fucking keen?
As it turns out, Tyler Winters, the six-foot-tall, blond-haired, athletic white dude whom Marilyn fell for in college likes Asian men even more than he likes Asian women. Marilyn remembered her heart shattering into a million pieces the night she caught Tyler in bed with her cousin Mario. She'd come home early from work to surprise him, and ended up getting surprised. Tyler confessed to Marilyn his love for Mario and then dumped her on the same night. The pain and embarrassment that Marilyn felt seared her soul. To make matters worse, Marilyn Yan was dateless at her former fiancΓ©'s wedding to her cousin. Can this young lady's life get any worse?
Meet Jacob Blackmore, a big and tall young black man who recently moved to Vancouver from his hometown of Port Antonio, Jamaica. He's taking courses at Simon Fraser University and exploring life in the City of Vancouver. Jacob is fascinated by all the Asian beauties he sees walking around town. The Jamaican brother is convinced that there are more Asian women walking around downtown Vancouver than in downtown Shanghai in China. Nothing wrong with that. Asian women are fine as hell as far as Jacob is concerned.
"I have got to get me one of these fine women," Jacob said to himself as he sat in the Simon Fraser University library. Seated at a computer, Jacob checked his various social media while also ogling the fine Asian ladies he saw everywhere in the library. Feeling bored, Jacob put his backpack next to the computer and draped his leather jacket over the back of his seat. There's a lot of grimy types who wouldn't hesitate to swipe the computer so Jacob had to take precautions. Jacob went out for a quick walk and a smoke. The Business Math assignment was kicking Jacob's ass, and he needed a break...
Jacob walked around the campus, and smiled at the gorgeous Chinese ladies and Indian ladies he saw everywhere he looked. There were a few black women on campus, and most of them had white boyfriends. Jacob didn't care. Ever since he moved to Vancouver, he's been thirsty for Asian women. Unfortunately, the Asian ladies seemed programmed to only date white guys, Asian guys, or other women. Jacob rarely saw Asian women with black guys. Something had to be done about that. Jacob was sure that if Asian ladies gave the brothers a try, they would be addicted. How can a brother get past the cultural programming which deters Asian women from embracing black men? Hmm, something interesting to ponder.
Back in the day, Jacob used to visit the United States every summer, and while staying with his uncle Ernest Blackmore in the City of Boston, he saw lots of black men with white women. From what Jacob observed, it wasn't long ago that white women were hesitant to date or marry black men because of what angry white men might think of them. Jacob figured that the Asian ladies probably had similar sentiments but he was willing to put in the work, endure the trials and tribulations, and get himself a fine Asian woman. The question is, who shall this lucky Asian lady be?
Jacob was pondering these things when he heard the sound of sobbing. Curious, Jacob followed the sounds and went into a secluded spot between the trees near the Simon Fraser University library. Jacob went in, and inquired about the noise. That's when he found a young Asian woman leaning against a wall, with a knife in her hand. Mumbling incoherently to herself, the distraught young woman looked at Jacob balefully. Shocked by what he was beholding, Jacob wondered what to do.
"Please don't do that," Jacob said, and he held his hands up to show the lady that he was no threat. The young woman looked at Jacob through tear-stained eyes, and brandished the knife, but she did not aim it at him. The young woman held the knife against her own throat, which Jacob found more than a bit frightening. What is a guy supposed to say to a woman who is threatening to end her own life? Jacob is definitely not the right guy for this job. Leave it to a psychiatrist or a special counselor or a cop or something.
"Don't come any closer," said Marilyn, and she looked at the tall, dark-skinned young man as he stood there, looking even more scared than she was. Feeling angry and distraught, Marilyn had come to the very spot where she and Tyler shared their first date, and decided to end her life. She even had the big kitchen knife from the set they'd purchased together at Walmart for their first apartment. It all made sense to her. If only this annoying interloper could go away...
"Ma'am, I won't pretend to know what you're going through, but suicide is not the answer," Jacob said softly. Marilyn watched him as he crept toward her, moving like a man trying not to startle a frightened animal. In spite of her extreme distress, Marilyn found the situation almost comical. This one had definitely seen too many movies. Jacob drew closer, until he was mere two meters from where Marilyn stood. The young woman's eyes flashed and she warned him not to come any closer.
"This doesn't concern you, fool, you don't know what I'm going through," Marilyn screamed, and Jacob nodded as if he understood. In that moment, a couple of passersby came along and, startled by their arrival, Marilyn took her eyes off the interloper for just one a second. That's all Jacob needed, and in a move reminiscent of his days as a football player in rural Jamaica, he pounced after Marilyn. Grabbing Marilyn's hand, Jacob twisted it until she let go, and they struggled before collapsing on the ground...
