Kindle Notes & Highlights
To the ones who never gave up and chased the light at the end of the tunnel. It’s good to see you shining again.
He hated being away from familiarity after receiving it.
“Well, I told you anyway, with your rude ass. You’d think after all that cleaning, it would’ve helped your attitude. I guess not.”
Synovi liked a challenge; he’d been up against them his entire life. Torin was just the right amount of difficulty he knew he didn’t need in his life, but would take it on, anyway.
Torin was going to have to learn that her happiness couldn’t be based on the opinions of others because a mothafucka was always going to have something to say when they weren’t the ones making decisions.
This ain’t even my woman to be trippin’ on,
“I ain’t really trying to hear all that, Jade. Save that shit for your husband. I’m just here to fuck you and fulfill your sexual needs.”
You decided to step out on your marriage. All that explaining and shit is pointless because we both know what’s about to happen once we leave here.”
“Sucking my dick ain’t got shit to do with what I got going on. Next time, you’ll know to mind your business. Your doors unlocked?”
“I don’t forget much. Only things that don’t matter.”
“Boy, don’t say my name like that. I almost forgot I promised to keep things professional between us.”
“Any mention of my dick shouldn’t come from your mouth unless that’s where you want it to be.”
“You can ask me whatever you’d like… my answer depends on my comfortability,”
Imagine getting used to something, and then one day, it’s no longer there. No warning, no explanation. Just gone, not giving a fuck how you feel.”
“People hold on to the good things they know they can keep… not have to give back.”
“You’re too good of a person to share with someone else. Don’t settle for that because it feels good. Eventually, it’ll hurt.”
“I don’t think you touching my ass is very professional, Mr. Black.” “Neither is having your pussy in my face, but here we are.”
“Fuck being professional. Come here.”
“We’re not supposed to be doing this,” she whined. “Then why is this pussy so wet?”
“You got some good pussy on you, baby. Gotdamn.”
“Mhm,” he hummed as she lightly squirted. “There you go. You got all this built-up tension and need a nigga to drain you of it.”
“You playing with it; gon’ show me what you can do on it,” Synovi spoke huskily.
“No running, okay? Be a good girl and handle this dick.”
“Yeah… let me open this tight little pussy up,” he groaned, loving how her walls hugged him.
“One who’s trying his best and just needed a little push? One who is making a way even when it probably seems like there isn’t one. Don’t play with me and speak down on yourself. There’s nothing to be embarrassed about.”
“Can I finish? You want a nigga to open up to you so bad and keep interrupting me.”
Any and everything you need is already yours. It’s going to make its way to you and stick. Trust me on that,” Torin stated with finality.
“I appreciate you. Don’t think I don’t. All I know is how to figure shit out, so don’t be offended, a’ight?”
“As you get older, you’ll start to see that all my preaching back then wasn’t in vain. I know you’ll be fine, but when you’re not, I’m a call and drive away.”
Your fear of rejection will keep hindering your success if you don’t just do it.
“I need you, Love. I’m hurting so bad right now.”
“We’ve been through worse, baby. You can’t let what you had no control over break you. All them muscles you got and you over there acting weak like I ain’t raise you,” GiGi fussed. “We’re fighters.”
“First, I want you to get out of that bed and stop thinking the world is ending. Second, remember who you are and what obstacles you’ve already faced and conquered. You gon’ let this one hold you back?”
“Light and Love… the only thing I need.”
“I love you, too.”
“Did I disrespect you, or did I say something you found disrespectful? There’s a difference,”
I had to tell myself that not everyone is out to do me wrong. That your past, like mine, shouldn’t be held against you. I had a lapse in judgment, but that was me battling my own insecurities. Childhood traumas I’m still working on getting through,”
Why would I want to give you away? I thought you were mine to keep?”
“I want you all to my-mothafuckin’-self. If I sound selfish, it’s because I finally can be. Especially with you.”
“You feel my love?”
“Let’s get cleaned up and go get this money, Mr. Black.”
“Thank you for seeing the greatness in me, despite fighting through the darkness. You’ve pushed me to want more out of life and saw the potential in me that everyone else overlooked. SB’s Cleaning Service is what it is today because of you, and I’m so thankful for you, Love. Everyone needs a you on their team, but that’s too bad ’cause I’m keeping you all to myself.”
“Boss,” Synovi started, lifting his glass. “For putting a young Black man in a position to win… thank you,”
“How can I relax when this is such a milestone for you? I’m always going to be excited.”
You have a good heart and an unmatched drive about you. That’s more than enough.”
“Nah, listen to me. I love the fuck out of you. You feel this?”
“I ain’t never shared this with anybody. I’m trippin’ right now ’cause I can’t believe you really rocking with a nigga like this.”
I’m here to stay… here for you to keep to yourself and ride through the waves with.”
