Every second he spent with her the more her actions made him feel even more comfortable as she obviously wanted to have a conversation with eye to eye contact.  And so in that moment, Léon removed his sunglasses so the two could gaze into each other's orbs.<br/><br/><i><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(84, 172, 210)"><b>'Oh my'</b></span></i>Léon couldn't help but to think to himself as Brook opened up her heart and shared that he was the exact type of man she had always admired. If he was a light skinned man, his face would be blushing darker than a cherry. However her compliments coupled with his instant attraction to also being the type of woman he had always dreamed of being with had caused his body temperature to elevate to the point he felt like he was about to overheat.  And before he would start to answer her latest round of questions, Léon leaned forward slightly as his large hands crossed over his head before pulling the skin tight blue shirt off and over his head.<br/><br/>Léon was now shirtless as he shifted back to the same position the two were in just before he pulled off his shirt. "<b><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(97, 189, 109)">The fact that those boys have broken your heart so many times before yet you still have the courage to be venerable with me means the world. Thank you for giving me the opportunity too be the man that not only meets your expectations but will do everything in my power to wildly exceed those expectations.</span></b>"<br/><br/><b><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(97, 189, 109)">"Now I really don't want to get into too much about my ex-wife, however she was a tall, confident black woman who just refused to be happy; always looked for something to nitpick. And like yourself, I really haven't dated anyone of any meaning to my life since my divorce was final.  But since you shared the physical attributes of the type of male you're attracted to, I think it's only fair that I share the same information with you.  My entire life I've always dreamed of marrying a tiny little white girl; what we in the community call a 'white prize'.  However, given the racial biases in our culture, especially when I was growing up in Miami during the 90s and early 00s, most, white women would never even consider dating a black man.  Which is why I ended up settling with who I thought was my best possible match from high school rather than with somebody I was attracted to 100%. And to be honest, up to 15 minutes ago, that fear persisted as I was scared the women on the island would have an unconscious bias that because of the color of my skin, I was less attractive or 'not as good' as the other white men"</span></b><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(97, 189, 109)"> </span>He paused for a second to take a deep breath as he had never admitted the fear and shame he felt, that actually still persisted today as he society still made him feel that he wasn't good enough to even date a white woman.  He also didn't want to make his experience a political movement or make anyone 'woke'.  He was simply trying to explain himself, his perspective as to how he thought and felt during the first 29 years of his life.<br/><br/>After taking a moment for his mind to clear and enjoy the fresh oxygen hitting his mind, a smile reappeared on his face before he started to speak again with more animation and energy in his cadence. "<b><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(97, 189, 109)">What do I want? I want a white prize who makes herself emotionally available, is willing to enjoy every moment she has with me no matter how dire a situation might be and eager to love just as much as she wants and needs to be loved.</span></b>"  The entire time Léon's gaze never left Brook's despite the large commotion that was starting to take place by the bar.<br/><br/>In that moment, there were only two people on earth, Brook and Léon.<br/><br/>He enjoyed watching Brook's soul take in all the heavy information he just shared with her.  The silence wasn't awkward at all as they were both on the same wave length; at least from his perspective.  After a solid minute passed, Léon spoke up again before asking, "<b><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(97, 189, 109)">Tell me everything about your life excluding the lack of romance you hope to find with me. I want to know everything about what you do. Walk me through what a typical Tuesday was like in the life of Brook before you even applied to come on Love Island. Walk me through a typical Saturday.  What is your full name? Birthday? What are your parents like? Do you have brothers or sisters? Pets? I need to know everything about Brook!</span></b>" he finally shut up with yet another smile so large his pearly white, straight teeth flashed again.
