Vi, you take the most perfect pictures!

And the rastas fruit, stand looked very neat and inviting. No flies, trash or spoiled fruit...Nice.

Continuing on…



Finally reached the narrow seaside walk. I’ve gotten better at balancing myself along the sidewalk. Don’t fear slipping off onto the rocks when someone passes me…well not as much as I did. I like the elevation which is ideal for pictures.

I hear someone call out “Hello!! Hello!”

I stop to look around because I was sure they were trying to get my attention. I see the big dude that was at the salon doorway blocking out the sun. He’s making his way towards me from across the street. Do I go down or wait for him to come up?? This sidewalk isn’t wide enough for both of us. I decide to take a couple of steps further up the walk where the incline isn’t so steep.

“Hello”
“Hi”
“I saw you walking and come to meet you. My name is Andrew…I’m from…My age is…”

Andrew gave me his complete single&desperatejamaicanmale.com profile before I could tell him my name. Well it sounded like a profile.

“Hi Andrew, I’m Vi.”

He said he was interested in me and wanted to know if we could have dinner together. Thanked him, but said I’m very happy being single. He didn’t try to push, just simply asked if I had a friend, sister, cousin, auntie, mother, grandmother or female enemy who he could meet. No, I can’t think of anyone. (What was I suppose to say????) He insisted I take his picture and show it around. I took the picture, actually 3. He checked them to make sure they looked good. Nothing like a bad profile photo, huh? Of course he didn’t forget his contact information. I won’t post his picture because the white shirt he was wearing had a stain on the right nipple area. That would have turned anyone remotely interested off. I think he would thank me for making that decision. LOL

“Wait, didn’t you come to the salon this morning?”
“Yes. I didn’t think you saw me.”
“Yeah, I saw you and heard you ask about a manicure and pedicure. I’m going to be honest and let you know I didn’t think you were interested in women.”
“I came to see you. I saw you go inside and wanted to meet you. But when I got to the door, I got shy so I asked about the foot rubbing.”
“Oh…okay…”

**silence**

“Have a good afternoon, Andrew.” and I quickly went on my way.
