His skin is smooth, and brown like cocoa with a bit of copper. His body is young, his muscles pronounced. To touch him feels to ones fingers, as thick cream feels to the tongue. In contrast his hair is course- almost sharp to touch. Jet black, with too much hair product failing to control the jungle of it. His almost black eyes hold just enough brown to see the warmth of his soul residing within them. His smile is engaging, but guarded. He’s trying hard to maintain an appearance that can “keep up with the Jones’s” so to speak. But the charming crookedness of his teeth keeps anyone from being fooled. He can be critical, judgmental, and entitled; but she sees past that to his anxiety, and his obsessive craving for control that continues to elude him. He struggles to see much joy in life- despite his class clown persona. He sees struggle, persecution, and obligation. He feels pressure from all sides, and she is the only one around to whom he isn’t afraid to express himself. So he makes her feel unwanted, unloved, belittled, and used. He wants to make her feel guilty for the obligation he has toward her. She sees the anxiety, the loyalty, and the reliability behind it all. He doesn’t want her, or anyone else to see it, but it’s the elephant in the room, and he’s the only one blind to it. He can’t admit it to himself, let alone outsiders. Some people say she is blinded by her love for him, or they say he has brainwashed her. But she knew going in the cost of the commitment, and she isn’t going anywhere.
She’s not a martyr, and she’s not without fault herself. She could be stunningly attractive, if she wanted to be. She has a good career, she’s intelligent, and straightforward. From the outside, she seems like a catch- one that he, or anyone would be lucky to have. However, she’s not a very good housewife, and she can’t cook. She also has an obsession with being right. She’s strong willed, and stubborn, and if you cross her you’ll know it, and live to regret it. There’s something about her that keeps men away; she’s got baggage that not even she can pinpoint. But, she makes people love her, she makes the world less oppressive, and she adds beauty to it wherever she goes. She’s a powerhouse, and there’s no stopping her once she’s made a decision. Her compassion and empathy; her generosity, and fierce love have no bounds, and no equal. Her eyes give her away, and her facial expression leaves no need for interpretation- if she wants it to be that way. However, when necessary she can leave even the most intense of interactions or emotional moments, without any trace of the chemical processes that can make a human being so vulnerable. She takes pride in her ability to been seen as a robot in one moment, and an empath in the next. She takes complicated to a whole new level, and a marriage to her will be high risk for high reward. She’s not someone to be taken lightly, and he now understands that he was mistaken if he thought marriage to her would be frivolous, or cheap, and easy. Maybe he didn’t understand that some choices don’t come with a money back guarantee. This marriage, to this girl, is a commitment that will not be broken.
