“It wasn’t until this very moment that I realized I deserve so much more. To think I was open to exploring shit with you. Now I know better.”
“N.A.S” by Inayah
“Baby, you couldn’t handle me. I’ll have you somewhere in a corner sucking your thumb wondering where you went wrong. Your best bet is to keep you and ya lil dick away from me.”
“You still treating me like an ain’t shit ass nigga.”
“Baby, I’m treating you accordingly.”
I sighed. “I miss ...

He did all the boyfriend shit without ever having the intention of being my man. That man paid my rent for the entire year, to take the burden off me. He came to my practices and my shows. He rubbed my feet or gave me full body massages when I was practicing extensive routines. He cooked for me or made sure I ate. The man did so much for me, Liv. What else was I supposed to think other than he had real feelings for me?”
“He’s just trying to get a rise out of you. Don’t let him see you upset.
“You better stop playing games before you’re the one crying in a corner.”
“Under the Influence” by Chris Brown
“You know I need you close to me,” he mumbled into my hair.
“Tell me you miss me.” He whispered in my ear as he slowly thrusted into me. “Tell me I can come home, Ja. I just wanna come home, baby.”
I couldn’t formulate a sentence. He was stroking my pussy so good that if I voiced anything, it would be to agree to the toxicity we shared. This was that demon dick. Dick so good it would have a bitch retracting her words and betraying her morals; dick so good that even when I was mad at him, my pussy always got wet for him; dick so good that even while I hated him and myself for allowing it to get this far, I still threw my ass back at him.
“I know you feel it,” he said, gripping my flesh. “I wanna feel it too. Give that shit to me. Act like you know this is my pussy.”
“Forever” by Jessie Reyez and 6LACK
“I… I love her. I’m in love with her.”
I loved Jorja. I was in love with Jorja Monae Sandifer.
2Pac’s “Hit Em Up”
“Reconsider!” Tears laced her voice. “I gave you too much of me with no commitment. I’m not doing that again. Why would I reconsider being an option? Why would I wait for you to decide that you want to get it right when there are men out here that have begged me to stop fucking playing?”
“Like him?”
“He didn’t have to beg because he came correct the first time. Now if you’ll excuse me, I h...

“Jorja, I love you.”
“I’ve never said that to any woman I’ve been with, but that’s what I feel for you. I’m sorry it took me so long to see that. My world ain’t right without you, Ja. I miss you, and I miss us. I don’t want you to move on, and I can’t move on. I want to come home.”
I want to come home and be greeted with warm hugs and tender kisses. After a long day, I wanna lay up under my man and feel nothing but peace. “I want to feel secure. Not financially because I can take care of myself. I mean I want to feel physically, emotionally, and mentally secure with him. I want a man that knows my weaknesses and doesn’t use them against me; a man that says what he means and means what he says, but he also puts action behind that shit. I don’t wanna have to wonder or second guess his motive and intentions.”
“I want you, Jorja,” he said, cupping my face. “I’ve been chasing you for months, baby.”
“I love you, and I’m in love with you. I love you enough to let you find what you deserve. But that nigga you are entertaining… he ain’t it.”
He kissed me with passion… with lust and desire… with love.
“I can’t do this shit, Jay. Every time I see her with that nigga or have to hear about him, I get pissed off all over again. I hate thinking about him being in her space. I hate wondering if he knows what it feels like to be inside of her. I hate this whole fucking thing.”
I cupped the side of her face and kissed her cheek. She looked up at me, her gaze lingering for a moment. Her teeth sank into her bottom lip, and her eyes dropped to my lips before she looked back up at me. I let my hand drop slightly to her neck, giving a subtle squeeze as I let go.
“Can I have it?” she asked.
I smirked. “Can you have what?”
“Don’t make me say it,” s...

“That shit scared me too, Ja. You not talking to me made me realize just how easy it was to lose you. I can’t imagine not having you in my life in any capacity. Even if we never get this shit right and be in a relationship, I need you around.”
“I love you,” she said quickly.
