So I haven't exactly been in the mood to write given all that has been going on lately. This was actually a pre-written chapter from about a month ago and given all that has transpired I thought it would be fitting to publish it now. I haven't seen a book on here about interracial relationships really tackle the complexities of being within one. As a person who has been in an interracial relationship and as a Black woman that did quite sit right with me. Our blackness is our inescapable trait, so to have these books where we don't fully acknowledge our experiences upset me.
TRIGGER WARNING: Chapter contains; •Police Brutality •Violence Against Women •Sexual Assault
If you don't think you can handle it please do not read. It was painful writing this, I can only imagine what reading it is going to be like. But I wanted to acknowledge that pain, acknowledge our plight. BLACK LIVES MATTER. BLACK WOMEN MATTER. We deserve to be protected💕
Please note; any disrespectful comments will be deleted.

Lennox POV
"So what's this meeting for exactly?" I asked looking at Beckham as he drove down the beautiful streets of LA.
We have been in a pretty good place recently. No, seriously. We haven't been fighting as much. We've even started going out on dates, aside from the ones we're contractual obligated to. Beckham said since all of this is ending in an eventual marriage the least he could do is make a real effort to develop a meaningful relationship with his future bride. We're far from being together. However, it seems like we're maybe, possibly developing a friendship. It's been a nice change of pace.
This trip is strictly business though. It's not a vacation. We touched down in Los Angeles 24 hours ago and I still haven't even slept. It's been all business meetings, both in boardrooms and at clubs, which isn't exactly unprecedented when considering his family business is alcohol. Non-stop conversation about dividends and profit margins. Here we are on our way to yet another meeting. Honestly, I don't feel my presence is necessary at these, I've never even taken a business class. It's like Beyoncé said I guess, he takes me just compliment the deal.
