CHAPTER 1: I FED MY SOUL WITH MEN
PART ONE:
Here is my 100th secret
Vengo por ti…(I am coming for you!)
Vengo por ti, demonio.(I am coming for you, demon!)
My name is Karen, and the night I met Ben was a moment I will never forget. We were at a party, surrounded by people, but when I asked Ben how he would describe me, his words touched me deeply.
He said, “From the rich hues of your skin to the intricate textures of your hair, every aspect of your appearance is a celebration of your heritage and identity. Your eyes are deep and soulful, a reflection of your resilience and depth of character. No wonder your lips are full and expressive, conveying passion and warmth with every smile. The curves of your body are a work of art, a testament to your femininity and power.”
As he spoke, I felt seen and appreciated in a way I never had before. It was like he saw through all the insecurities and doubts I had about myself and showed me a version of myself I didn’t even know existed. At that moment, I felt like a princess, worthy of love and admiration.
But even as I basked in the glow of his words, I couldn’t help but wonder if this was just flattery or if he truly saw something in me that I couldn’t see myself. Either way, I was grateful for that moment and for the way he made me feel.
Looking back on that night now, I realize that it was more than just a chance encounter. It was a turning point in my life, a moment where I began to see myself in a new light and embrace my own unique beauty and power. And for that, I will always be grateful to Ben and the magic of that unforgettable night.
As I walked into the dimly lit nightclub with my girlfriends, feeling confident and
sexy in my tight-fitting dress and high heels. As we made our wicked way to the bar, the bass-heavy music pounded in my chest, and I could feel the energy of the crowd pulsing through me.
“Y’all, this is gonna be a night to remember,” I exclaimed, sipping on a martini.
My crazy bitches cheered in agreement as they toasted to the start of their night out.
As the night went on, my and friends danced the night away, our bodies swaying to the rhythm of the music. We laughed and sang along to the songs, the lyrics rolling off their tongues with ease.
"Girl, you are killing it tonight,” one of my friends shouted over the music.
She is called Betty but she seriously hated that name she wanted us to call her Becky, she is big as hell but bossy, exuding an air of confidence and authority.
She was a friend of my girlfriend.
I smiled, feeling the heat rise in my cheeks. ”I know, right? It’s like I was born to be on this dance floor!”
We continued to dance, our bodies moving in perfect harmony. As the night went on, I found myself lost in the music, feeling free and alive.
Suddenly, I felt a tap on my shoulder, and I turned to see a handsome man standing behind me.
“Hey there, beautiful,” he said, a sly grin on his face.
I smiled back, feeling a rush of excitement. “Hey, handsome. You want to dance?”
Without a second thought, I and the man moved to the dance floor(I hate saying this because every time I talk about this, I feel a little brave), our bodies swaying together in perfect rhythm. As we danced, I felt a surge of energy coursing through my veins, and I knew that this was going to be a night I would never forget.
After our chance meeting on the dance floor of the nightclub, the man introduced himself as Ben, and we hit it off immediately. The music was loud, and the crowd was electric as we danced the night away.
As we moved to the beat, Ben’s infectious energy and sense of humor drew me in, and we quickly found ourselves lost in conversation. He told me about his love for travel and his passion for drawing, and I couldn’t help but be swept up in his enthusiasm.
As the night wore on, we found ourselves laughing and joking like old friends, completely caught up in the moment. The energy of the club and the excitement of the music seemed to amplify everything we felt, and we both knew that we had stumbled upon something special.
Looking back on that night now, I can still feel the thrill of the moment and the sense of possibility that filled the air. It was a chance encounter that turned into something more, and it was all thanks to the magic of music and the spark of connection that can happen when two people meet on the dance floor.
As the night came to a close, my friends and I stumbled out of the club, laughing and joking about the crazy adventures we had that night.
“That was the best night ever,” I said, my voice filled with excitement.
My friends nodded in agreement as they hugged each other goodbye, promising to do it all again soon.
I walked away from the club feeling free and alive, knowing that this was just the beginning of the incredible life I was meant to live.
That is how we met, and that is what I love about California. It all started with “California Love” by Dr. Dre, a song that grabbed my attention with its infectious beat and catchy lyrics. The pulsating rhythm of the song and the soulful vocals of its featured artist, Tupac, created a feeling of energy and excitement that was hard to resist.
As the song played, I couldn’t help but think of California as a place of endless sunshine, glamour, and opportunity. It was my dream city, and I knew I had to make it there someday.
Luckily, that opportunity came sooner than I expected. I was born in Rwanda, but I got a chance to study in California, and it was everything I had hoped for and more. From the bustling cities to the stunning beaches, California was a place of beauty and vibrancy that I had only ever imagined.
So, as I listened to “California Love,” I felt grateful for the chance to experience this incredible place firsthand. It was the start of a new chapter in my life, and I couldn’t wait to see what adventures lay ahead.
Ben wrote to me, hence we started getting to know each other better as we shared stories and jokes.
At first, the texts were casual and flirty, filled with inside jokes and playful banter. But as we talked more, we found ourselves growing closer, discovering shared interests and passions.
Our first date was a romantic dinner at a trendy restaurant, where we talked for hours, lost in each other’s company. We laughed, shared stories, and learned more about each other’s hopes and dreams. (we took it too far,I know but I felt like I really love him)
As the weeks passed, We continued to see each other, exploring the city, trying new things, and falling deeper in love. We texted constantly sharing our thoughts and feelings, and building a strong foundation of trust and respect. ( I am sure if Mama found this, She would beat my ass,)
In the end, our initial attraction on the dance floor had grown into a deep and meaningful connection, one that would last for years to come.
I had been dating Ben for a while and had fallen deeply in love with him. I was excited about our future together, but one day I found out that he had a child from a previous relationship. I was frustrated, as this was something he had never mentioned to me.
"What do you mean you have a child? Why didn’t you tell me?" I asked, tears streaming down my face.
"I was afraid of losing you,” he replied, his voice barely above a whisper.
I was angry and hurt. I felt like he had betrayed my trust and was keeping secrets from me. I cried for days, struggling to come to terms with the news.
But over time, I began to see things differently. I realized that he had probably kept this from me because he was afraid of losing me. He had been trying to protect our relationship and keep things simple.
Eventually, I forgave him.
"I love you, and I want to be with you. But you have to promise me that you’ll never keep something like this from me again,” I said, wiping away my tears.
He nodded, relieved that I was willing to give him another chance.
It wasn’t always easy, but I was determined to make it work. I learned to love the child as if he was my own and became a positive influence in his life.
In the end, I grew stronger through this challenge. We learned to communicate better and to trust each other more deeply. And I knew that I had made the right decision in forgiving him, as our love was stronger than any obstacle we could face.
But do you know what I really loved about him?
Huh,
Look, he was a successful entrepreneur who owned his own tech company. He was passionate about innovation and always looking for new ways to make the world a better place.
As the CEO of his company, he was a natural leader, inspiring his team to work harder and think bigger. He had a reputation for being tough but fair, and his employees respected him for his vision and dedication.
In addition to his professional success, he was also a caring and compassionate person. He volunteered his time and resources to charitable causes and was always looking for ways to give back to his community.
I was drawn to his intelligence, his ambition, and his kind heart. I admired his drive and passion for making a difference in the world, and I knew that he would always challenge me to be my best self.
We made a dynamic duo, working to build a better future for ourselves and the people around us.
I was getting ready for a night out with Ben, excited to spend some quality time together. I had been taking my time with my makeup, trying to get it just right. But as the minutes ticked by, I could sense Ben’s frustration building.
“Karen, are you almost ready?” he called out from the living room.
“Just a few more minutes,“I replied, trying to stay calm.
“You’ve been saying that for the past half hour! We’re going to be late,” he yelled, his voice rising in frustration.
I felt a pang of hurt at his tone. I had been looking forward to this evening, but now I felt like she was letting him down.
“I’m sorry, I just want to look my best for you,” I said, trying to explain.
“I don’t care about all that! I just want to spend time with you,” he shouted, his impatience showing.
I took a deep breath, realizing that I needed to prioritize our relationship over my appearance.
“You’re right. I’m sorry. I’ll be ready in a minute,” I said, feeling a wave of love and gratitude for this man who cared about me so deeply.
In the end, we went out and had a great time together, laughing and dancing the night away. I realized that our relationship was about more than just looks or appearances. It was about the love we shared and the moments we spent together, no matter what we looked like or how long it took to get ready.
We had been out on a fun date night, enjoying dinner and drinks at a popular restaurant. As we walked back to our car, we encountered a group of rowdy men, who were clearly drunk and disorderly.
One of the men, a tall and burly figure, staggered towards me, slurring his words and making lewd comments. I felt a pang of embarrassment as the man continued to taunt me, my words growing more and more offensive by the minute.
But just as I was about to lose my cool, my partner stepped in, ready to defend my honor. He stood tall and proud, his fists clenched in determination.
"You leave her alone, right now!" he bellowed, his voice ringing out across the street.
The drunk man stumbled back, startled by the sudden outburst. But he quickly regained his footing, preparing to take on Ben in a fight.
As the two men squared off, I could feel my heart racing in my chest. I had never seen him like this, so fierce and determined. But I also knew that I was scared, afraid of what might happen next.
Just as the men were about to exchange blows, I stepped forward, placing my hand on his chest.
"Please, let’s just go,” I pleaded, my voice trembling with emotion.
Ben turned to me, his eyes softening with love and concern. Without another word, he pulled me into his arms, holding me tight against his chest.
As we stood there, locked in a passionate embrace, I knew that this was the man I had been waiting for. I knew that he was the one who would love me to my fullest, who would always be there to protect me and stand by my side.
Later that night, as we lay in bed together (I know Mama will chock me to death!), I could still feel the heat of our kiss on my lips and his big thing on my thighs. I...
