Hold Me While You Wait

by Kimberly Brown

“I want to know you. Everything from your favorite color to what makes your mind wander at night. I wanna know what makes you happy, what makes you sad. I want to know what you need that you haven’t gotten from anybody else.”

“I ended my marriage because a man that loves me, loves me without conditions. You are non-negotiable. You’ve been like my child since the moment your mother told me she was pregnant with you. She and I made a promise that we would always take care of each other. Keeping you was never a question for me. There was never any other option, Jazlynn. Never. You are my child now, and I will never choose a man over you, married or not. You understand me?”

I love how Somya let Jazlynn know where she stood in her life.

“We can behave like adults, or we can behave like animals. I know what I’m capable of, but you don’t. Fuck with me or don’t fuck with me. But don’t ever fuckin’ play with me.”

Black would have looked so good on him, though. Especially around the eye.”

🤣🤣🤣

You speak to a part of my soul that no one else hears.
