Kindle Notes & Highlights
I can bet my last dollar I was last night as well. It takes too much energy to be anything other than myself.
And until she returned home, I’d continue to roam the streets. She was my destination. There was no alternative. There was no settlement.

This bitch gone be a problem
You don’t get to stand me up, Nay. I don’t give a damn what that message says. We’re doing this. Get dressed and stay off your phone and out of your head. I prefer remaining respectful, but I don’t have an issue pulling up to your address instead of the one that belongs to your parents. See you at eight.
Let her ass know!!
“Fix it before you get in this car, Nay. I don’t give a fuck what happened before I showed up. From this moment forward, you are only to feel good things. Shit that makes your lips stretch for your eyes and that heart of yours beat so hard against your chest that you think you need to see a cardiologist. I’m not accepting anything less and neither should you. So, fix your face. I’m here. Whatever it is, I’m going to make it better now.”
“Homework. You’re a subject I’ll study until the death of me.
“Broken fingers are no fun. As a physician, please trust me on this. Touch her door, my nigga, and you’ll be forced to figure out how to straighten each one on your right hand as you wait for paramedics arrival.”
“Today, if you found another man and fell in love, the risk would still be significant. By not following your heart and seeking solace in Milo, you’re saying that you will never, ever attempt to fall in love again. Because, when it’s all said and done, risk is involved. It doesn’t matter who the relationship is with.”
“You won’t even say more than ten words to the man. Are you expecting him to be a fucking mind reader?”
Sounds like she is!!
“He used to be.”
Girl 🙄🙄🙄
“I really don’t give a fuck what’s going on right now. When this shit is all said and done, Nay, we’re locked in,”
“I’ma spin and spin and spin again until you get it through that thick ass skull of yours.”
“No. There wasn’t, actually. I saw him as the best candidate. And wherever he’s involved, Lawe, there’s never a shortage of dick.”
Let em know Nay 😂
“Nay, ain’t no nigga out here going to dick you down like me. Ain’t nobody going to stuff that pussy in their mouth like me. Nobody knocking that pussy down like me, he chuckled, presumptuously.
“I’m sure of it. And that’s just the small shit. My account is expansive. You can have it all if you want. Ain’t no limits when it comes to you. I don’t give a fuck about you having your own. You’ve got mine, too. Ain’t a nigga in this city going to step ’bout you like I am. Lay my shit on the line if it means saving yours. Plus, that little nigga in your womb, I put him there.
“So, yes, I deserve your fine ass. Niggas haven’t and aren’t willing to put in the work I am to secure my spot. And furthermore, I’m not concerned with what the fuck they’re willing to do unless it’s lay down behind it because I’m willing to end a mo...

“I shoot old niggas, too.”
Wtf!😳 this nigga is wild
You’re obsessed with the idea of having me, but not the idea of the work it requires to get and keep me.
“Your confusion has nothing to do with me, Nay. I’ve made it clear what I want, why I want it, how I want it, and when I want it. I’m a fucking man, not some boy, Nature. Especially not the boy I once was. I don’t have time for uncertainty. Make your fucking mind up.”
“Don’t run from this dick, Nay. Be a big girl. Take this motherfucker.”
And the fact that Milo, once again, was having relations with someone this close to him, whom he worked with, left me baffled.
Okay Milo you are being fucking dumb
“The truth is, when it comes to Milo, you’re either all in or not in at all. You go from zero to one hundred. There’s no in between. Milo, on the other hand, goes from zero to one. Your scales aren’t balanced. Do you fault him? No. Because, at the end of the day, you’ve yet to admit to him that you’re expecting more of you guys. Why? Because you’re afraid of shit like this happening.
“But I’m here to tell you, as long as you keep running or putting one foot in, it’ll keep happening. Milo isn’t going to put all his eggs in your basket until he sees that you’re ready to empty yours in his. All of them, Nature. Should you be upset right now? Yes. You should. You guys were progressing, or so you believed, but that wasn’t exactly clear on either of you guy’s ends. No one has declared anything, which leaves room for continued exploration.
It’s a biased opinion. But unbiased, he isn’t exactly wrong. I know you’re triggered and this feels like college again, but you can’t run this time, Nature. You have to step into this thing head first.
I’m the only one hurting in the end, every single time. It’s time to let go of the possibilities, time to stop hoping and wishing, and focus on birthing a healthy baby boy.”
You would be hurting if you would open your mouth and say what you want
“Your heart does but you’re so programmed to disconnect mentally from a situation to avoid some shit that you don’t understand or can’t change, due to a past that is not at all your fault, that you don’t recognize your self-sabotaging actions.
“Just like you were all those years ago when you called me from campus, face full of tears, admitting that you’d reached a point of no return with Nature and couldn’t fathom loving her beyond that point because it would be the death of you both, you’re terrified.
“That fear led you to sabotage a relationship and lose a woman that birthed a love so fucking profound in you that you’d never be able to recover from it. Never, bro. She planted something within you that can only survive by constant wat...

“But then, Aeir picked my shit up and turned it all the way around. That’s the power of love. That’s the power of a woman. A woman is the strongest creature ever produced. Nothing tops that creation. God did His big shit, bro. Aeir came in, rummaged through the debris and helped me locate parts of me I’d long ago forgotten. She lifted me. She lit me, refusing to leave me in the darkness. She healed me. “There isn’t a person on this planet I think is capable of what my wife is capable of. She carries the weight, graciously. The magnitude of her influence in my world is just… unimaginable, Milo.

Admittedly, I’ve been unclear with my intentions and expectations of you. But today, I’m clarifying things and letting you know that I expect nothing from you from this point moving forward. If it doesn’t involve our son, it doesn’t concern me. We’re adults and the games that are being played right now, it’s time to dead them.”
Girl you’re the one who is playing!!! wtf
I hadn’t considered how similar the situations were.
Of course you didn’t because you a nigga 🤦🏾♀️
I want this thing between us to work but I don’t know where to begin repairing it.
This girl is really getting on my last one
“Good, now tell that nigga to quit texting your phone before I put him in the trunk of that bitch,” he grunted, pulling me down onto his chest where I rested my head. “Go to sleep.”
I didn’t ask for this, Milo. You did. You wanted your son, you have him. Do right by him! I’m not a woman that is going to beg for your participation.
He missed one appointment, you was prepared to do this by yourself anyway so chill.
“Don’t let the last two months cloud your memory and make you forget that I’ve been here… right here… waiting, watching, preparing, and being any and everything you need even with the limitations you put in place. That’s not to discredit anything you just said, but damn, Nay. You act like I’m a fucking menace. You and I both know that’s the furthest from the truth. I just… shit just been fucked up for the last two months but it’s going to get better. I put that shit on my Pops.”
“Uncle Milo, I love you. I really do. But please don’t come over without Mason. Okay?”
😂 😂
Fortunately for him, the perfect opportunity for us to finally sit down and have that meal he’d been proposing for months had come.
I thought you didn’t want to play games?! 🤦🏾♀️
“You see me every day, Nature, but you don’t see a nigga, for real. You got ya guard up and shit. Not letting a nigga get at you like I want to. So, when I ask if you miss me, I mean, bend your ass over the console miss me. Arch your back, miss me. Get on all fours, miss me. Suck my dick, miss me. Spread them fucking legs and let me eat that shit, miss me. Sit on my face, miss me. Ride this dick, miss me.”
“Yeah, you. Trying to convince us both that your pussy not wet and your heart not pounding against your chest right now. Yeah, you, Nay. You and these fucking games you like to play.”
Joining in on the fun didn’t feel like such a bad idea.
Girl you are a dummy 🤦🏾♀️
“I know you like to make yourself believe I’m some type of villain in this situation, but I’m not.”
Wilderness
🤣🤣🤣 what’s wrong with this man
“Understand that I’ll knock a hundred niggas out if they’re standing in my path to you. So, if you want to save me my good hand, stick to what you know best, Nay. Me.”
“Listen, my nigga, it’s best you stay away from that one ’cause I’m pulling up every time ’bout it. That pussy there, it belongs to me and I’ma suck and fuck that motherfucker until the death of me. You feel me? Unless you ready to lay down ’bout it, then I suggest you keep it pushing, partner. These are problems you and any nigga you run with want to run from. Understand?”
“At ya crib. At ya momma’s house. At Granny’s spot. At the gas station. The grocery store. It makes me no difference. The message remains the same. Come up off that one or it’s up. I don’t give a fuck where we at.”
“No. It’s an engagement party I set up with the help of your mother. Our friends and family are waiting to hear good news. All day long, all fucking day long, I’ve been trying to find the words, trying to come up with the perfect combination and the most sentimental way to ask you to be my wife, but I have come up with nothing. Nothing feels good enough, no moment has felt perfect up until now. So, I’m telling you, I don’t have anything over the top to say or any clever ass speech. All I have is my heart, baby, and I’m wondering if that’s enough to get you to rock with a nigga for the rest of

“Milo. It’s been such a long time coming, but there’s nowhere else I’d rather be right now than standing before you, in front of our friends and family, confessing my love for you. I’ve never felt anything so trivial, yet revolutionary. “So ugly, yet so beautiful. So recessive, yet so dominant. So old, yet so new. So painful, yet so pleasant. So subtle, yet so overwhelming. So understanding, yet so intolerable. So polluted, yet so pure. So heavy, yet so light. So mysterious, yet so obvious.” Nature blubbered, crying uncontrollably as she continued her vows. “Never, until I met you. You stirred
