"Working for the Canadian government is the worst job one can get in Ottawa, except for all the others," Rupert Jacques said to himself, with a deep sigh. Sitting inside the quaint little café located near the empty hotel across from the Ottawa Public Library, the well-dressed, ambitious young black man wondered what exactly he was doing when his life went to hell. I can remember feeling hopeful once upon a time, Rupert thought, lamenting his fate.
It was one o'clock, and Rupert was on his hourlong break, supposedly enjoying lunch. The café was quite busy, even with the Covid mess going on. A pretty redhead giggled with her friend, a well-dressed young black woman. A slim, dark-haired Caucasian male walked in, with his portly and somewhat effeminate Asian male friend. Both of them looked around the café and glanced at Rupert, who looked away while sipping his coffee. He was not looking for anything, thank you very much.
Rupert's lunch consisted of an egg sandwich, hash browns and overly sugared coffee, typically breakfast fare but the brother does not care. Rupert looked around the café, wondering if anyone felt as uneasy as he did. He recognized several faces, people who worked in the same building he did. Everyone seemed to be having a dandy old time, and Rupert resented them for it. Rupert wanted everyone to feel his pain...
In the City of Ottawa, Ontario, lots of young men and women of African descent graduate from Algonquin College, La Cite Collegiale, Carleton University, Saint Paul University and the University of Ottawa, only to end up working at Starbucks, Walmart or Home Depot, while their white counterparts get all the good jobs. The few minorities who get hired by the government are told they ought to consider themselves lucky, and they better perform well and never complain, lest they get removed.
Rupert knows this, of course. Born in the City of Ouanaminthe, Republic of Haiti, and raised in the environs of Orleans, Ontario, Rupert is the son of two worlds. The six-foot-two, lean and athletic, dark-skinned brother speaks Haitian Creole as fluently as he speaks Canadian English and French. Educated at Carleton University, where he graduated in the top five percentile in the accounting program, Rupert thought he'd finally made it when he got hired by Canada Revenue Agency. If the brother only knew what he was in for...
Place De Ville is a vast complex housing multiple towers, all of which are occupied by employees of Canada Revenue Agency. There's a dismal little cafeteria that sells lousy food even in the best of times. Rupert works in the seventh floor, and wonders why in hell he fought so hard to get there in the first place. Not a day goes by that Rupert doesn't find himself the recipient of fake smiles and hostile glances from his so-called colleagues and workplace pals. This place is a snake pit, Rupert quietly laments.
A tall, dark-skinned and strongly built black man in white spaces can and will attract stares, and Rupert knows he can't escape that. Thus far, Rupert has managed to avoid any entanglements with any of his co-workers. One of the first people whom Rupert had to deal with was a creepy old bugger named Charles Hughes, a bearded old white dude who stared into Rupert's eyes longingly whenever they ran into each other. Translation? Hughes is into men, and quite insistently at that.
"Not interested," Rupert told Hughes quite firmly, on that fateful afternoon when the old buzzard accosted him in the cafeteria. Rupert had been dining alone, trying to enjoy lukewarm curry and a can of Pepsi. Hughes gawked at Rupert, visibly shocked by his rejection. Apparently, the old creep is used to getting his way with younger men. Rupert is able to see beauty in both women and men, but creepy old bozos are not his thing. Fortunately, Hughes got the hint and walked away.
Rupert watched Hughes walk away and repressed a shudder, wondering whether the old creep was going to become one of those stalkers that he read about in crime thrillers. Men who stalk men are definitely one of those social problems that society doesn't pay attention to. After all, there's a creepy makeup artist with an online following who targets heterosexual men and he seemingly can't take no for an answer. It took the intervention of female celebrities to expose the creepy makeup artist as the predator he was. What a world.
Rupert is a man who lives in many worlds. As a tall black man with a deep voice and manly mannerisms, he is seen as attractive by many, and threatening by others. A lot of women seem to be quite taken with Rupert, and while Rupert does loves the ladies, he knows he has to be careful. Famous men who got involved with female colleagues and lost everything as a result is fast becoming the social issue of the decade, that and police brutality toward minorities, of course.
Rupert remembered Nini, a young Colombian woman whom he met while working as a security guard, the job he held prior to getting hired by the Canada Revenue Agency. Nini, who happened to be tall and curvy, with golden brown skin, long curly dark hair and a big ass, was totally Rupert's type. He was quite taken with her and they exchanged numbers on the very day they met. Rupert thought Nini would be his new special lady, but it was not to be.
"I'm not looking for a relationship," Nini told Rupert, after they hooked up, five days following their first meeting. Rupert lay in bed next to Nini, marveling at her curvy body and that big ole ass. Mere moments earlier, he took Nini to the edge of passion, and showed her what Haitian masculinity is all about. He put Nini on all fours, face down and big ass up, as he slammed his hard dick into her pussy while she grinded against him.
Rupert, a gentleman everywhere except the bedroom, had been wanting to smash Nini's big Colombian booty from the moment they met. The curvy gal turned out to be a real freak in the sack, screaming obscenities in English and Spanish as Rupert gripped her hips and rammed his dick into her, banging her with deep, passionate strokes. They fucked and sucked the evening away, and didn't let up until exhaustion claimed them. Tired and temporarily sated, Rupert was all smiles, until he heard Nini's pillow talk...
