Sweatpants Season

He has a big...smile.

It was the first thing I noticed that day until he stood. His grey sweatpants hung off his hips, and I didn’t want to look. I really didn’t.

I’m a feminist.

I don’t believe in objectifying men. I don’t catcall men. I don’t ogle the bodies of men. I don’t view men as objects of my affection rather than complex people with feelings, wants, and needs of their own. I don’t treat men the way society often treats women.

I treat men the way I want to be treated as a woman - with respect!

So, when Carlos ran into me while I was reviewing my interview questions in the park, it surprised me to see my photography classmate out of class. I was also surprised to see as much of him as I did.

It wasn’t just that it caught my eye. It was the fact that it held my attention.

It wasn’t just that it was large. It was the fact that it was visibly large.

It wasn’t just that it was Carlos Richmond. It was the fact that I am Akila Bishara.

And I am not seduced by anything other than intelligent conversation, witty rapport, and meaningful actions.

I am not seduced by a dick print.

I am not.

Seriously, I’m not.

Nice Story

Good overall story. Though it got a bit explicit sex wise and repetitive with several sentences in varied chapters, it was a sood story overall. I didn't care fir the female voice doing all the male characters. But, the story was good overall.

Whew, Chile! So good!

I adore the narrator and this story. it is fun and romantic. I absolutely recommend this approach to address a serous topic in our society.

ENGAGING!!!

The characters are lively…takes you on an emotional adventure that’s unforgettable….AWESOME and BELIEVABLE!!

Loved it!

Great story! It was entertaining. Well written. The flow was nice and smooth. The young lady narrating is one of my favorites. She does the different voices very well.

Wow

I loved this storyline. The writing is amazing and the narrator was great. I need a follow up book about Keke and Carlos.
