When I was in my first year, my older brother and I had to rent an apartment in the capital, and Jose was his best friend. I often PrivateDelight Oakland saw him along with stunning beauties. A bored housewife, a sultry freshman, a stripper, a model – it was not difficult for him to spin any lady. I simultaneously envied Jose and hated him for it. Seven years have passed since then, but sometimes I catch myself thinking that in some matters I have remained an insecure youngster. So I decided to explore the complex world of male-female relationships with the help of José.
