My wife Katie had been into rap music long before I met her. It was seemingly the one big difference in our interests. From movies, to television, to books, and even politics, Katie and I clicked on every level. But then there was music. I just didn't understand Katie's enthusiasm when it came to that god-awful "music" she insisted on blaring every time we went anywhere in the car, especially considering the over-the-top misogynistic lyrics.
Still, it would have taken much more to dissuade me from a girl like my Katie. She is a complete and total knock-out in every sense of the phrase. Out of my league in the looks department by just about anyone's standards, she was by far the most gorgeous girl I had ever been with. Her shoulder-length curly blonde hair, ample tits, and perfect heart-shaped ass had me mesmerized from the moment I first laid eyes on her. The fact that they were supported by a 5'4'', 110 pound frame just extenuated her lovely curves even more.
From our very first conversation, back in college, when we were partners on a group project for our sophomore psychology class, I knew Katie was the girl for me. She was bubbly and radiant, and when she spoke to me I felt as though I was being blessed with the presence of a Goddess. A Goddess that I was determined to make my bride.
Unfortunately I didn't feel as though I was in a position to ask her out when our group project was complete, and Katie was once again returned to her position as the girl who kept me distracted all class long. Truth be told, I had been rejected by less pretty girls throughout high school, and I was sure that if I put the question to Katie I would once again be playing the rejected dope.
My assets were of the academic nature, not of the physical, like the guys I was sure Katie was attracted to. I would occasionally see her flirting with guys before and after class, and if they weren't all football players, they all could have been. She was definitely into the jock type, and while I was an average baseball player in high school, these guys she would gravitate towards towered over me.
A few weeks after turning in our group project, I ran into Katie at a party off-campus. It was actually kind of lucky on my part, as I rarely went out to party. I wasn't a big drinker, and I had to keep my GPA above 3.5 in order to keep my financial aid. By the time I saw Katie that night I'd consumed 5 or 6 beers, more than I would usually. She looked even more beautiful than usual. She had on a tight-fitting light blue dress that showed off her ample breasts and ended just an inch or so below the bottom of her ass cheeks. Topping it off with black platform high-heels and gold hoop earrings Katie was looking like a model and was clearly the best looking girl at the party.
Katie was off in a corner chatting it up with one of her fellow cheerleaders that I recognized from my economics class. While the sight of these two beautiful vixens would have ordinarily been too intimidating for me to approach, the alcohol I had consumed had given me some new found bravery, so I made my way over to the them. With the music blaring as loud as it was, I found it difficult to hear what Katie was saying, but she was obviously happy to see me. That smile of hers nearly melted me then and there.
After a couple of minutes, Katie's friend excused herself to get another drink, and I nearly jumped at the opportunity to tell Katie that she was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. I professed to her that if she were to give me the opportunity to be her boyfriend that I would treat her like a queen day and night, and that her happiness would be the paramount concern of my every waking moment. While clearly flattered, I could tell by her giggle and the way her eyes widened that these were not feelings she reciprocated towards me.
"What the fuck did you just say?" The deep burly voice caught me by surprise, but it wasn't nearly the surprise as the punch that landed me square in the jaw a split-second later. Knocked flat on my back by the power of my attacker and dazed as all hell, I heard Katie tell the behemoth I was now looking up at that he didn't have to do that before hurrying him away.
After somewhat regaining my senses and returning to my feet, the girl I had seen Katie talking with before informed me that the big black guy who had just knocked me on my ass was Katie's boyfriend. I decided to drown my sorrows with several more beers that night.

An ear-splitting headache woke me up seemingly just a couple hours after I had laid my head down on my pillow. Arriving in the bathroom, after avoiding the urge to vomit, I recoiled at the massive black eye that now adorned the right side of my face.
After several more hours of dealing with my hangover and headache, all of my discomfort melted away when I bumped into Katie at the food court. She immediately went into a very long apology explaining that if she knew he were capable of something like that she never would have dated my assailant. I told Katie that there was no need to apologize, that I had too much to drink, and that it was my fault for being so forward with her. She then told me she had broken up with him earlier that morning. I couldn't help but wonder why the break up hadn't occurred last night, and my mind drifted to the sweet pleasures Katie's body had likely provided her thug boyfriend after he had laid me out flat.
She and I ended up chatting the afternoon away. When she told me that she had to get going and do some studying, I once again laid out my argument for being her boyfriend and again put the question to her. In her sweetest voice possible, Katie explained that she needed some time off from dating to find herself a bit. I told her I understood of course, but I couldn't help but feel like she was just saying it so she didn't have to give me a flat out no.
The months passed by and Katie and I remained friends even after our psychology course together ended. A girl like her doesn't stay on the market long, however, and she was soon back to dating guys much more gifted physically than myself. Each relationship would last a few months, and after each one Katie would give me some excuse as to why we couldn't date, but before long she would be back on the arm of another muscle-bound adonis.
Being Katie's friend certainly had its benefits though. We were nearly inseparable during our free time for the rest of college, with the exception being Katie's midnight trysts with her latest "boyfriend". We would study together, go see movies, get dinner together; all the usual boyfriend / girlfriend activities, with the obvious exception of the physical aspect. As time passed, Katie became more and more comfortable with me, even getting to the point of walking around in her underwear whenever I would come over to her apartment.
