Meet Brandon Crawford, also known as the brother with the Whitest sounding name ever. Six feet two inches tall, lean and athletic, with light brown skin, piercing brown eyes and a stylish Afro, he's forty one but could easily get away with saying he's around a decade younger than that. He's also the new Chief Financial Officer for Finkelstein & Henderson Limited. The new promotion comes with a baseline salary of two point seven million dollars a year, plus his annual bonus.
The previous night, Brandon Crawford was at a gala attended by the Mayor of Calgary and the Premier of Alberta, organized to raise money for some cause or another. Probably a charity or something. The key thing about those events is that the select people who come to them are only there in order to be seen. They came to mingle with the movers and shakers, to press the flesh, and make business and social connections. Galas are more about networking than job fairs...
Brandon came to the party accompanied by his lovely wife, schoolteacher Fatima Saad. The six-foot-tall, curvaceous, bronze-skinned and dark-haired Moroccan beauty looked ravishing in a dark crimson evening gown while Brandon wore a nice tux. They had their picture taken with both the Mayor and the Premier, and were trending on social media. Interracial power couples always make for good photo-ops, just look at Kim Kardashian and Kanye. Er, bad example...
"You're the man of the hour," Fatima said to Brandon, beaming at him. Brandon smiled at Fatima, and gently squeezed her lovely hand. Ever since their halcyon days at the University of Calgary, Fatima had been his rock. They came from different worlds, sure, but who cares? Fatima came to Canada from her hometown of Marrakesh, Morocco, fleeing persecution as a result of becoming an atheist, a death sentence in an Islamic country.
When Brandon Crawford met Fatima Saad, the gorgeous Moroccan gal took his breath away. With her beauty, intelligence, poise and charm, Fatima was unlike any woman he'd ever met, that's for damn sure. After university, Fatima and Brandon got married, and had two sons, Ali and Wahid, who are currently attending Bow Valley College. Life was good, and they were so close to having it all.
Brandon was used to having people stare at him and Fatima wherever the two of them went. As a mixed-race man with a North African beauty as his loving wife, Brandon was an exception with a capital E. Sure, the City of Calgary was becoming more racially diverse thanks to an influx of Afro-Caribbean people, Arabs, Asians and other immigrant groups, but mixed couples still got a lot of stares. Welcome to the Prairies.
"Couldn't have done it without you," Brandon said, and he gave Fatima a quick peck on the lips. As much as Brandon liked to act cool, he was still overwhelmed by the trappings of success. The gala, held at the Calgary Art Center, was filled with the wealthiest and most powerful people in the province of Alberta, if not all of Canadian society itself. Not bad for a poor dude from Berkshire, Brandon thought bitterly.
"Well, big man, if you agree to ditch this lame party early, I'll have an early night's present for you," Fatima whispered into Brandon's ear, and she grabbed his ass playfully. Brandon jerked awkwardly and smiled nervously at Fatima, who winked at him. Even after decades of marriage and parenthood, Brandon's darling wife Fatima could still surprise him. The ass grabbing was just part of the fun.
"Hmm, you got a deal," Brandon replied, and he licked Fatima's earlobe, a move he knew usually drove her wild. After making small talk with rich people while sipping Champagne, Fatima and Brandon politely excused themselves and ducked away. They didn't leave the Calgary Art Center, though, and instead went to a secluded room in the basement, away from prying eyes...
"I love quickies," Fatima giggled, as Brandon led her into the spot near the boiler room in the Calgary Art Center's basement. At any minute, staff might walk by and spot them, and they didn't give a damn. In fact, the risk of discovery added to the thrill for the two of them. Fatima sat on an antique table up against the wall and hiked up her skirt, flashing Brandon a wicked smile.
"Hey mama," Brandon said, grinning, as he knelt before Fatima, and began his approach into her. Fatima clucked her tongue impatiently as Brandon slowly pulled down her Black Lycra panties, exposing her enticingly hairy mound. Brandon inhaled her scent, and then began eating her pussy. Fatima leaned back against the wall, relaxing as her husband Brandon did his damn job...
"Slow down tiger," Fatima murmured, as Brandon sucked on her clitoris, and slid two fingers into her pussy. Fatima was a bit tense at first, for she found those galas and fancy parties quite stressful. Fatima's stress melted away as Brandon ate her pussy hungrily, his fingers twisting this way and that inside of her, setting her on fire in all the right ways...
"Come here mama," Brandon said, as he pulled a smirking, horny Fatima into his arms. They kissed passionately, and her sleek, eager hands went straight for his crotch. Unzipping Brandon's pants, Fatima freed his dick. She smiled, knowing that he seldom wore underwear. Out came Brandon's fuck stick, his long and thick, dark member which Fatima began stroking at once...
"Brandon, dumbass, what are you waiting for, an invitation?" Fatima teased, and Brandon, smiling, entered her with one swift thrust. Fatima gritted her teeth as Brandon's hard dick penetrated her. He could see her erect nipples pressing against the fabric of her fancy evening gown, and smiled as she wrapped her smooth, sexy and strong legs around his torso, driving him deeper inside of her.
"Fuck this is fun," Brandon said as he slammed his hard dick into Fatima's pussy. As her husband went to town on her, fucking her like there was no tomorrow, Fatima moaned softly. Rough, passionate sex was totally up her alley, and their precarious settings only added to the thrill for her. Brandon and Fatima got so into it that when a certain security guard, making her rounds, came in to investigate the commotion, they didn't notice her until she started screaming. Fun times...
Fatima and Brandon were all smiles as they exited the Calgary Art Center and went home. This is as good as it gets, Brandon thought, grabbing an Uber with his adoring wife in his arms. He felt like the world was his, that everything was going to be A-Okay, as they say. Success doesn't just mean having it all, it also meant having someone worthwhile to share it with. For Brandon, this person is without a doubt his lovely Fatima...
Brandon Crawford first saw the light of day in Berkshire, United Kingdom, the son of a Jamaican immigrant mother and a White British father. Brandon's parents, Liam Crawford and Jannah Woodson-Crawford split shortly after his birth, and about a decade later, his mother moved to the City of Calgary, Alberta, to be close to her brother Jayson Woodson and his wife Deborah.
Growing up in Alberta with the faintest traces of a British accent, Brandon Crawford learned early on that fitting in was a manner of survival. At eighteen years old, he won a full academic scholarship to the University of Calgary. Smart and driven, Brandon ended up graduating with honors from the MBA program in 2000, at the age of twenty three.
A few months later, Brandon joined a new tech startup, Finkelstein & Henderson Limited, started by his former classmates, Joseph Finkelstein and Matthew Henderson. He joined as a partner, as the firm became a pioneer in cyber security. Over the next eighteen years, the firm became a major power in cyber security, competing with well-known tech companies like Avaya, Ericsson and Mitel, several of whom branched off from the former Nortel Networks.
"Good work has its own rewards," Brandon said to himself as he looked at his new office, on the seventh-floor of the Calgary headquarters of Finkelstein & Henderson Limited. Twenty four hours after the party, he was facing his first day as CFO. The new office was bigger than the average apartment complex, and even has its own washroom, complete with a shower and everything. How about that?
Later that day, Brandon met his new executive assistant, a tall, handsome and well-dressed young man named Donatello "Donnie" Vitali Modupe. With his golden brown skin, piercing green eyes and kinky dark hair, Donnie reminded Brandon of Mr. Hot Mugshot Guy, from all those annoying Facebook memes. Let's hope he can do the job, Brandon thought.
Born on the island of Sicily to an Italian mother and a Nigerian father, Donatello is a new permanent resident of Canada, having moved there as an international student years and years ago. Donnie recently transferred to the City of Calgary from distant Ontario. According to Donnie's resume, he earned his MBA at the University of Toronto. The mixed brother reminded Brandon of his younger self, hence why he got the job...
