The man looked me over again, and Jake’s body tensed next to me. “You’re light skinned, but your features sure look colored, or are we supposed to say African American now? I can never keep it straight what you people want to be called. I like pretty light-skinned girls, though.” He winked before turning back to Jake. “Didn’t think you had it in you, boy.” Jake’s eyes flashed, and one hand curled into a fist. I touched his forearm. Not worth it. Instead, I adopted a cool tone. “You’re welcome to just call me Doctor.”
FUCK YES
