Kindle Notes & Highlights
I reminded myself that time was of the essence and I didn’t have much to loan to repetitive thoughts and lingering pain.
“You with me, Mommas. There’s no safer, better place to be. I’ll stand on that, any time, any place.”
“No fear. It means no fear. If you want to stalk a nigga with those pretty ass eyes and that pretty ass face, then stand on that shit. Ain’t no need to be shy because when it’s my turn to stalk you, ain’t shit gon’ stop me.”
“One thang you can’t be around me is scared, Kiwi. I’m going to test every limit, push every button, and get that shit up out of you every time.”
“That’s an invitation to my heart,” he replied without hesitation.
“I have two eyes, Kiwi. I know exactly where we are. It doesn’t matter. Wherever we are and Mommas is feeling blue, that’s where the fuck we’ll be until she’s warm again.”
“Communication is what will make this shit work. You’re not a fool for feeling how you feel or needing to make sure you’re not alone with those feelings. We all seek validation in some area of our lives. Most motherfuckers just won’t admit it. You telling me the shit you have going on in your head is validating me, letting me know that this shit is as real as I think it is… as real as I want to it be… as real as I need it to be.”
She’s like a fucking lava lamp or some shit. A nigga look at her pretty ass and all the stress, frustration, whatever… it all disappears. It’s been a hell of a week for me. I need her to tame the storm brewing inside me. Real shit, she ain’t even got to use that thunder between her thighs to do it. I just need her around right now.”
I’d never known peace until Glacier. Now that I’d discovered it, I never wanted to live without it.
“Which makes me want to do this shit right, Mommas. The people I love, I don’t let them down. I never have and I never will. I’d go to the ends of the earth for ’em, no questions asked. I feel the same about you, but the shit is a little different.
“My family, they don’t expect much from a nigga, especially on a daily basis. I strived every fucking day to be the dude that you need that day because every day, I’ve realized you need something else, another version of me I probably haven’t even tapped into yet. So, I’m just trying to make sure I’m not lacking.”
“She fucking the boss now, dog. When you see her in the streets, look the other way and we gon’ be aight. No hard feelings. It’s love, all love, ’cause you the nigga I have to thank for giving my baby up. That extra key on me.” I chuckled. “And that still ain’t enough ’cause I could never repay a nigga for fucking up that bad.”
“Never feel threatened by a nigga in my presence. I will kill everything breathing in this bitch about you. Don’t ever get that twisted. For you, I will clear a whole town. For you, I will lay shit down. For you, I will wage war. For you, G, hell ain’t even the limit. Fix your face, that’s your past. I’m your future.”
She sought security, comfort, and validation. I met her exactly where she was, willing to give her whatever she needed.
“Marry me, Mommas,” I begged. “Have my babies. Please, marry me. Be mine forever.”
Being happy and in love ain’t no easy shit. Especially when it’s shit that’s always trying to tear a motherfucker down.”
“Even a blind man can see the adoration in that boy’s eyes for you. He’s such a lost soul. It’s written all over his face. And what you offer him, no one else will ever be able to. You don’t require him to travel the distance.
“You meet him where he is and he accommodates you for the journey. You two are selfless when it comes to each other and that’s how I know you’ll make it through whatever has been put in front of you. Just have faith, and most of all, have patience.”
