Since the moment he entered my space, I’d been blanketed with comfort. Though a stranger, he felt safe.
“When I said buy yourself something nice, I meant that. Don’t disobey me, Mommas. I hate that shit. If you need your rent paid, use that one.”
OH YES SIR
“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.”
“Ever felt something deep? Extremely deep and extremely scary at once? Yet, you can’t help yourself? You can’t stop yourself. And with each passing second, you’re silently praying that it’s not all for nothing and reciprocation is in your favor?”
Pushing up on her while vulnerable wasn’t something I was willing to do, no matter how much I wanted her
“Then let’s tighten this fucking life vest. I’d act a damn fool if I lose you before I’ve even had the chance to fully enjoy you.”
“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.
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.”
“Communication is my only weapon. It’s all I’ll ever use to progress in situations. You’re upset, but you’re not communicating with me.
And she’s a good girl? Them my favorite kind. They take their asses to work and come straight to the house. They might watch a few shows, read hella books, and sleep as often as they can.” “Always tired as fuck.”
Makai comforted me in ways that made me believe anyone prior to him simply wasn’t doing enough, sexing enough, saying enough, communicating enough, or feeling enough for me or to me.
They just find ways to get better, do better, love better, listen better… all the things.
We locked in, Kiwi. Your shit is my shit. The good, bad, and the ugly.
“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.”
You’re fucking on a boss. Act accordingly. Head high, chest out in every room you walk in, no matter who is in that motherfucker.”
Shielding my heart from women after the world had already broken it was my coping mechanism.
Her name is an exact contrast to who she is. She’s not cold. She’s not hard. She’s not made of ice. Mommas is warm. A whole hug. A shelter from the cold. Soft inside and out. She’s magic. And believe it or not, she’s mine.”
