Kindle Notes & Highlights
I always tell Ella that he’s gonna be better than me, and I could die knowing I created a better version of me.”
“Naheim did all his time and never reached out to her on purpose. After all she had been through, he didn’t want to further interrupt her life. You think I would have given him my blessing to marry Capri if I thought he was still caught up on her?”
“People talk and I heard her father was connected to Trilla. He was one of his truck drivers. I’m willing to bet that shit wasn’t a suicide… more like assisted suicide.”
Ayooooo!
“We both know just because you pull the trigger there’s always someone else behind it. Even if you put the gun to your own head.”
“I’m a grown fucking man, Ella. Ain’t no bitch in this world could ever blow up my spot. I do whatever the fuck I want.”
“Stop fucking playing with me, Ella. I’m easy and relaxed with you, but don’t forget that I really put niggas through it.”
My mother taught me everything under the sun, except for how to live without her. How could I mourn a man that took her away? It was such a conflicted feeling because in a weird way I did.
Me and Trilla weren’t the same, I was better, and he knew that shit.
“You’re mine, Erin. I’m not fucking joking when I say that shit either. Stop trying to make me show you that I mean what I say, because it won’t be pretty.”
“How am I supposed to believe that you’re going to always protect us? My own father was supposed to do that, and he didn’t.”
“Baby, I’m not asking you to believe me tonight. Shit, I’m not really asking you to believe me at all, I want you to believe and trust my actions.”
“I want you, Erin,”
“E, you act like I went out there wanting to get somebody pregnant. I wanted to bust some cheeks, that’s all.”
Lmfao!
“Figured my dream girl should have her dream car, even if I could put her in something better.”
“Blah, blah. I’m going to continue to show up the way you showed up for me… on a smaller scale.”
