Kindle Notes & Highlights
To those tilling up the ground and planting new seeds… And to those who are afraid to receive the flowers being presented to them…
“It may be necessary, though. If you want to be a kept woman, you have to roll with the punches when it comes to me.”
“Everything about you says you wanna be kept, baby. I’m cool with that. You just have to trust me to make the right decisions for us. I mean, you’re about to marry me. I’d hope by now you trust me.”
“Nigga you got a fuckin’ knot the size of yo’ mammy’s head restin’ on ya forehead. I suggest you shut the fuck up talkin’ to me ‘fore you find out how crazy I am.”
Marriage was supposed to be ‘til death. Not ‘til a muthafucka decided to fuck the shit up for whatever reason.
“I wanted to make sure the bed was comfortable enough for you and ended up falling asleep. Ya scent had me…hypnotized, put me right to sleep.”
“Don’t let a thot bitch get you fucked up, Nikki.” He smirked. “Trust me…it wasn’t this dick that made her find another dick to jump on. It’s always good over here. Matter fact you can find out for yaself.”
“It’s cute that you think I’m honorable enough to control myself around you. The day I said I do, every filthy thing I’ve thought about you had to be pushed to the back of my mind just so that I could uphold my vows. Well…here we are, and those vows are no longer keeping me from having you any way I want to.”
“All I could think was, damn. How the fuck am I gon’ tell my homie that I’m in love with his fuckin’ sister.
“Half the night I watched you sleep. The other half I couldn’t believe we were laying in the same bed, cuddled up like how I used to see us. I’m not gon’ lie. It’s like I’m fuckin’ dreaming.”
“I’ll stay sleep forever if I can have this with you. That’s how I feel, and I’ain even fucked on the pussy yet.”
“Sooner or later you gon’ abandon ya morals and reputation for love, baby. Might as well accept it.”
“Mane, the minute that nigga proposed to her, I lost my fuckin’ shit. I went home a cried for ‘bout two minutes. My stomach was messed the fuck up the whole fuckin’ night. My dick wouldn’t even get hard after that shit.”
“Just because he doesn’t have a ring on doesn’t mean he’s not taken. Move around.” There wasn’t much that caused me to want to scrap. But about Boston, I could see myself getting my hands really dirty. This was the type of behavior he pulled out of me, and we weren’t even knee-deep in a relationship yet.
“And for the record, I don’t think we’re moving too fast, and I know we’re not making a mistake. What we’re doing is called coming to our fuckin’ senses.
as soon as you see a break of sunlight, you run toward it and don’t ever look back.”
“I understand you want to preserve the reputation you have. Preserving love is much greater than that, though. Love will overcome everything,
“Having a following can be hard, Nikki. I get it. Don’t let those people control how you move, though. You’re a regular person just like everyone else. Now you do have those handful of people who act like social media influencers are above having trouble in their lives. That shit irks me. But you give them that power. Once you say, ‘fuck them people’, the same peace you have now, you will continue to have. One thing I love about you, Nikki, is that you’re you. You have a genuine heart, and you don’t try to be anything other than who you are.”
“I’m almost scared to question how I became to be so blessed. Everything I want, need, and desire is inside you, Nikki. Let’s really seal the love we have with the most sacred covenant there is. Will you marry me?”
“She’s sexy as fuck, right? Mm, hm, I know. Intrigued, ain’t you? You can’t have her. Stay away from her. Move the fuck around when you see her. I’on wanna have to repeat myself, Shayna. Am I clear?”
