Life is funny, man. People are so rarely what they appear to be. Take me for example. Sophie Des-Pres. A French-Canadian woman with a zest for life and a voracious sexual appetite. My ruling passions basically dominate my existence. I stand five feet eleven inches tall, kind of chubby, with dirty blonde hair and pale blue eyes. I have a curvy body, big tits and a fat ass no matter what I do. Thankfully, I'm learning to accept myself. The first day of January 2011 marked my fortieth birthday. Age does bring wisdom. I was born and raised in the City of Neuville, Province of Quebec. I moved to Metropolitan Montreal a few years ago. These days, I work at my alma mater, McGill University, where I teach Criminal Justice. It's where I met my future husband, Gary Saint-Preux.
Yeah, to the immense surprise of my parents, I married a big and tall Black man from the Republic of Haiti. Gary Saint-Preux. My handsome Black bear, as I call him affectionately. He moved to Montreal from his native town of Cap-Haitien a few years ago. These days, he attends the University of Montreal. I fell in love with this guy, and it surprised everyone, including me. I'm not the type of chick who typically goes after Black guys. I grew up in a very White section of Montreal. My parents are Jewish, deeply conservative and kept to themselves. I didn't associate with anyone who isn't White, to tell you the truth. I was polite but rather distant in my everyday interactions with the Black male and Black female students at McGill University. Then I met Gary Saint-Preux and he changed my world.
This macho, cocky Haitian guy who got on my nerves and challenged me in every way. Now, my parents never told me to keep away from Black guys but as a sensible Quebecoise from a conservative family, I didn't really associate with them. Which is why my attraction to Gary caught me by surprise. He was attracted to me and wouldn't relent. I was dating a handsome Irishman named Doyle Henderson at the time. Doyle was a police officer in the City of Montreal, the son of working-class Irish immigrants who came to Montreal in the early 1970s. I liked Doyle. My six-foot-one, red-haired and green-eyed Irishman. My parents liked him too. Everything was going alright. Until I left him for Gary Saint-Preux, a six-foot-four, burly Black guy from the Caribbean.
