Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Yea, well don’t ever underestimate a nigga that you embarrassed.”
“You wish.” “Nah, wishes are for people who don’t have faith. I wholeheartedly believe that God is going to bless me with you.”
“I hate you.” Marley held her stomach. “So, what’s up? Besides stalking my page, what you on?” “I’m getting ready to go to hot yoga.” “The fuck is that?” “Just what it sounds like. Yoga in a heated room.” “And it’s good for what? Because I know that shit ain’t fun.” “Mental health, sleeping, skin… plus, I like it.” “Aight, can I come?” “No, the class is sold out and- “Don’t worry about that. Just say yes.” “Yes, you can come,” Marley answered, pulling the corner of her lip into her mouth. “Send me the addy,” he ended the call.
“That’s not important. Now come on so we can get dressed and do best friend shit.”
“I didn’t need you to buy me anything. I have clothing.” “And I have money, so take yo ass in there and try this shit on. Lululemon expensive as fuck and you got the nerve to be standing here acting like you don’t want it.”
“I-” Marley never got the chance to finish her sentence because Czar was in her face with his large hand loosely wrapped around her neck. “Aye-” He stared into her eyes, allowing his thumb to brush against her bottom lip. “Go put that shit on so we can go get hot and sweaty. Stop giving me a hard time.”
“I hate you.” Marley pushed him. “You’ll love me in due time,” Czar promised with a wink.
“Oh, now he’s Jaxon. What happened to him being your brother?” “His relationship with me is contingent upon your feelings for him. If you not fucking with him then neither am I.” “That’s the realest shit I ever heard.” Harper wiped her fake tears.
“If I’m fine, then just say that.” “You gorgeous,” Czar flirted, making her heart flutter. “Still fake as fuck though.” “Oh my god, B-law! You so sweet,” Sammy cooed, standing over his shoulder. “Nigga, get your girl.” Czar pushed her a little.
“Why you gotta make this shit so difficult?” Czar sighed, running his hand down his face. Never in his twenty-nine years of living did he have to press a woman so hard to spend time with him.
“I sucked the electrolytes out of your pussy, we go together.” “Real bad,” Nova cosigned.
“I’ll never put you in harm's way by bringing you into an unsafe situation.”
“Who was that nigga in your background?” Czar inquired as soon as they crossed the threshold. “Why? You jealous?” Marley teased. “You came when I called, I don’t have a reason to be jealous.”
His high was better when the smoke came from her mouth. Lighting the tip, Marley took a pull and reclined her head. Czar leaned forward, pressing his lips to hers. His hand found the nape of her neck as he inhaled the potent combination of good weed and lust. “Again,” Czar’s husky voice demanded, bringing her body closer to his. Blocking out the noise around them, Marley inhaled the smoke and playfully blew small circles in his face before catching them. Once her mouth was full, Marley grabbed Czar’s chin and exhaled into his. Like a drug fiend, he inhaled the smoke and then slipped his tongue

“Gotdamn, that’s sexy as fuck,” Goose coughed. “Why everybody minding their own business but you?” Czar interrogated, releasing Marley from his grip. “Cause I’m trying to see what that be like.”
“So they get to live in this world where shit smells like roses, but I have to walk around with the weight of our past on my shoulders?” He slapped his chest. “You said you were fine,” Ada cried. “Because that’s what you need to hear!” Czar roared. “Ain’t shit ok and it never was. I say the shit to spare your feelings, to spare their feelings.” He pointed to Romeo and Nova. “I’m walking through life with a blindfold on because seeing the world through my own eyes ain’t worth living. I gotta take these dumb ass pills because I’m haunted by your decisions. Decisions I don’t talk about because

“I want your fucking soul, baby, isn’t it obvious?”
“Who pussy is this, Marley?” he asked, using her real name to let her know wasn’t shit sweet about the dick he was about to deliver. “It’s mine. What kinda question is that?” Whap! His large hand landed on her right ass cheek. “Wrong fucking answer.” He kissed the stinging cheek. “But don’t worry. I know you like a nigga to work for it.”
“Tell me your secrets and I’ll tell you mine,” she whispered in his ear before placing a kiss on his shoulder.
“I’mma stay.” She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and kissed his neck. “Good, because I’m not chasing yo ass. Next time you run you’re going to need a mariachi band to get me back.”
“That’s not good enough, Julius. It doesn’t matter how many calls you decline or how many text messages you ignore, if you don’t outright say that it’s a wrap, they’re still going to have hope. Now if that’s what we doing, giving out false hope, then let me know.”
“Whatever, less jaw jacking and more dialing.”
“Julius, you sucked my toes while fucking me from the back, and I ain’t ever experienced no shit like that. Jealous ain’t the word, my boy. I'm unhinged.”
I also want to apologize,” Ada sighed. “I was young, dumb, and selfish. I knew it was wrong for me to keep you in that situation as long as I did, and I’m sorry.” “It’s cool, Ma. I’m sorry for how I snapped.” “It’s not cool. I’ll be the first to admit that parents don’t always make the best decisions and the child ends up paying. This is your story too and I’ll stand behind you 100%. Whatever you want to do.”
“You know I’m with the shit, so be at my crib later. I need you to come put that pussy on me.”
“Nah, don’t listen to this lovesick nigga nephew.” Goose shook his head. “If I had your type of money, I wouldn’t settle down with one woman. If she mad, get two, and if they get mad, damnit get a few.” He clapped his hands together. “It would be like a pussy parade all the time.”
“You mad at me?” she whispered against his mouth. “Nah, I'm irritated though.”
He lifted his shot glass to her lips. Like a good girl, Marley tilted her head back and Czar emptied the liquor into her mouth. Before she could swallow it, his lips were on hers, and the warm liquor danced between their mouths until it evenly slipped down their throats.
“You want me to take care of him?” “You better stop offering to knock people off for me. We’ll be on the run messing around with me.” “Just say the word.” “No.” Marley shook her head. “I want you to take care of me. I feel stressed and I need to release or it’s going to be a long night. I’d normally flick the bean, but I figured since I’m in a relationship, you could do the honors.” “Oh yea?” Czar grinned, ashing the blunt. “What do you want?” “I want you to jump my bones.” She grinned. “I can do that.” He stood up, swooping her off the counter.
She was always the center of his focus. Knowing how she felt about crowds, Czar made sure to keep her close.
“How yo pussy feel?” “Like I'm ready to go home so you can fuck me with your chains on.”
“You want a grand gesture?” He stepped back as Lovers and Friends started playing in the club. “I’mma sing to the pussy. That’s what you want, baby?” “Got me feenin’ like Jodeci, girl I can’t leave you alone,” Czar cooed.
“And did.” Sammy popped her lips, switching up the stairs while Romeo struggled to carry their bags. She was dressed in a long mink fur with the matching earmuffs and thigh-high boots. As far as she was concerned, she was too fabulous to carry her own bags. “I’m the sand, the beach, and the fucking concession stand. Come on, LB, let’s get on this jet and enjoy our flight on some rich bitch shit. You be acting scared to spend C’s money, but I’mma savage with Ro's money.”
“LB being haunted by ghosts and shit. Dismiss this nigga so I can feed you this fucking soup,” Czar demanded, picking up the bag from the ground. “Benny, can I talk to you later?” “The fuck you asking for?” Czar roared, making her jump. “Go the fuck in the house.”
The only person he went shopping for was Marley. Buying her exclusive shit made his dick hard.
