Free Black Romance Short Story
Brielle Whitaker has been dating for over ten years, and never in a million years, did she think she’d encounter a species as rare as Terrence Stewart, a physical therapist for athletes.
Tired of the trash dating pool, she decides that scratching an itch doesn’t have to be the painful mess that her dating life has become. She matches with Terrence on a dating app and they set up a “non-date.”
An initial “feel you out” meeting at her place that’s supposed to be a fun way to release some pent-up stress.
But when they meet, sparks fly. And they can’t deny the growing attraction. The more they learn about each other, the more intrigued they are to know even more.
What Brielle thought was going to be a situationship at the most blossoms into something neither of them expected.
Brielle and Terrence go from thinking love is a hopeless thing of the past to seeing it bloom right in front of them.
This short story is a reminder that love can often show up when you least expect it — and turn your whole world upside down in the process.
