You would not believe how routine my life is. If someone were to do a story on my life, there would be nothing really interesting at all to write about me - well at least not prior to early this year. I live what most people call the "Great American Dream" but many people fail to realize that a dream might
sometimes make us so absorbed in our own little worlds that it becomes boring.
A house in the suburbs, a drop-dead gorgeous Korean-American wife, and two beautiful daughters. I could not have asked for more. I know the world is full of problems but for people like me that is just news. No wonder for millions of people like me, everything is generally so predictable. The
Fourth of July celebration with
barbeques,
Thanksgiving family get-togethers, the
Christmas shopping
season, and everything else that we can count upon to happen with a very high degree of certainty in our lives. While all this makes our lives so comfortable, it also makes our lives dull in some ways.
It so turns out that my life was going to get a 25,000-volt shock and nothing was going to be the same for me again. It was unpredictable, exciting, and incredible. It all started when my wife befriended a
Latina, divorced and childless, Juanita, at her work. As is pretty common in our small town, Juanita came to our home fairly often and I have to admit that she is very attractive. As I have an
Asian
wife, I am naturally attracted to other non-Caucasian women. However, this was one of those attractions that all married men feel but do not think about it too seriously. For us, it is just
 a feast for the
eyes, but then we are expected to go on with our lives.
Juanita was different though. I
see attractive women all the time in public and while I admire their beauty; that is where it ends. There have been occasions when I would run into
a pretty
woman either in public or for example in my office or while visiting a large city and we would smile at each other or even exchange a few pleasantries. Like most men, I have often dreamed, not in any serious way, but just for the fun of it, about how a particular
woman behaves in bed or how she would look without clothes (or what women call as 'undressing with the eyes'). This is the way most men think. If they see a woman with an attractive figure, they immediately try to create a mental image of her without clothes.
Juantia did generate all of these feelings in me whenever she was around but her eyes made me feel as if she was pointing a laser beam into my heart
somehow she reminded me of
Carolina Bacardi. When she would look at me without even talking to me, just the eye contact made me feel as if she was on top of me - totally in control. I felt like her
slave. I
would get so nervous that I would immediately take my eyes away and go play with the kids or pretend as if I was busy with something else. |
