Kindle Notes & Highlights
This book is dedicated to anyone that’s lost someone who made their days better. It never stop hurting. The hurt just hurts a little less.
“You be talking so tough until she in your mix. Then you’re quiet like a bitch.” “When she leave, I be talking again,” I explained to Makai, garnering a laugh from everyone on the phone.
“It will get hard. So hard you’ll want to give up. It’ll get lonely. So lonely you’ll question what you’re really doing it for or who you’re really doing it for. But whatever you do, don’t give up.
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.”
“Boy, be quiet. This ain’t nothing. Give me my grandson.” “Technically, I’m your grandson. You want me?” “Me too,” Mercer said. “Me too,” Malachi added. “Me—” “Shut up!” He didn’t let Makai finish, making us all double over in laughter.
Haha
“Merc, you rolling or what?” I asked, turning toward Mercer. “Not really feeling it. But this nigga won’t let it die.” “And ain’t. Get out the house. Rub on some ass and titties. Make me a believer, nigga. ’Cause I ain’t saw a piece of pu—I ain’t saw nothing come out that crib since you been home.”
“You hitting behind your brother?” Mercer asked, face knotted. “Have you not seen Reesh? I’d hit that shit behind my pops if it came down to it.”
Since you’ve promised to be mine, here are the things I’m promising: Love and cherish you, through the good and bad days. Respect your wishes. Create space for every version of you. Be a better man, partner, and father. Listen. Make you and Mason my top priorities. Graffiti your walls with my semen. Eat that pussy sun up and sun down.
Leaning forward, I placed my hands on my knees, trying to steady my breathing. “You a bitch, nigga,” Lawe whispered in my ear. “Handle this shit like a G, nigga. Stand up. Chin up! Bending over like you done dropped your fucking soap.”
“I’m here because there’s nowhere else in the world I’d rather be, nowhere in the world I can be right now. I meant every fucking word, Nature. I meant every word. It beats for you. It longs for you. It waits for you. And just like me, it’s ready to spend the rest of its days loving on you.” He recited his vows.
