Me telling you I want something different doesn’t mean I don’t love you. I just want something different.”
“Sometimes, I sit out here just to hear Dymon put Quinci through the wall so I can get off.”
I knew what that look meant. I’d only witnessed it a few times, but that look, along with that statement, meant she would do it anyway.
“Della Mae, you can’t control what anyone thinks of you. If they are making fun of you because you have no breasts, what are you going to do when you have breasts, and they still make fun of you?” After that, I started to fall in love with myself, and eventually, my body caught up.
my girl is at home dragging a wagon in the front and the back.
Women just want to feel wanted, loved, and lusted after. But most importantly, reassured.
do you look at her like the hot light just came on at Krispy Kreme? Do you still date her? Sweat her? Look at her across the table at a restaurant and tell her you can’t wait to get her home.”
Plus, women with old names are savages. Last Summer, I fucked a girl named Dottie and she took me down. I almost couldn’t keep up,”
Yes, my brother is the Dymon Danger. I would do nepotism the correct way. Fuck you mean inadequate?”
It is your ego telling you that you’re inadequate because your brothers are worth a lil’ more money than you, and I think that’s stupid. Like in the grand scheme of things, what can they buy today that you can’t?”
“In all seriousness, though, Declan, comparison is a dirty thief. It robs you of so much, like imagine if I got pissed off at all the girls doing the same styles of wigs I was doing. Me and you work in billion-dollar industries, we don’t have time to compare ourselves to nobody else.”
You being interrupted is not my issue. That’s why when you’re speaking with me, I need your undivided attention. Maybe next time.
Instead of the message letting me know it had been delivered, the bubble turned green, and my chest tightened. She blocked me. Elle had blocked me.
“It just meant you’ve been in control for so long, so I know you have a little brat up in you. That’s why I said I know what you are. When you don’t get your way, you pout. I told you thirty minutes ago I was coming here to fix your hand and you opened the door pouting because you thought I was coming right behind you.”
“The avoidant hates to be ignored. So much iron in that knee.”
“Glad we have an understanding. I’ll see you later, okay.” I nodded with an attitude. “And then when I called you a brat, you acted confused.”
“You can’t tell me what to do, Elle. You know I still owe you an ass whooping, on God.”
“Declan, where are you going?” “To see a man about a horse.” “That’s not funny.” “I’m not joking.”
“Ahh, my baby wanted Daddy to be jealous. Look at you.”
“Declannn,” I murmured. “People are looking at usss,” I whined. “Girl, I don’t give a fuck about that.”
“Damn, woman, I’m really trying to be good tonight and you come out the house like this. It’s crazy how sexy you look right now.”
“Ah ha. Now, we getting to the meat and potatoes. You wanted me to be jealous because you were jealous.”
you decided not to fuck me again, I’d still want to hang out with you and spoil you.” That sent shivers down my spine, forcing me to shift in my seat. “Spoil me?” He nodded. “How so?” “Giving you whatever your heart desires,” he said, then sat back against the seat.
I finally know I can be genuinely happy, in every facet of my life, mentally, emotionally, and sexually. When you’ve been told for so long that what you say and do is never going to matter until you can produce, you kind of internalize it.
“Damn, y’all move like the Avengers.
“Then that’s all that matters, Baby. Whenever you can use my name, use it. It’s yours to use.”
“First, you could never embarrass me. Never. I fuck with you because of who you are. You don’t ever have to change for me. Nothing. Second, I will let you in on a little secret, most men love when a woman can command attention when she walks in the room, and that’s what you do.
“Okay, so, if you trying to kick it with Elle like that, send ol’ girl back to New York and kick it with Elle. What are we doing?”
Life is too short to not be happy. Don’t let anyone tell you that you cannot have it all because you can. You’re beautiful, smart, and any man would be lucky to have you.”
Her face changed one second after Winter said that bullshit, and I knew I’d lost her.
do realize I have a smart, fine ass… very young woman, who will, in a single heartbeat, give me my black card back if I ever fucked up.”
“Diesel. I love Elle.
We switch roles from time to time, but I think she loves being submissive for me and dominant to other people. If I knew she’d say yes, I’d ask her to marry me tomorrow. Any more questions?”
“What are you looking for me to say? That he’s dying to talk to you but is trying to respect your space. That he’s in love with you and every day he wishes he was with you. That nothing is going on with the mother of his child. I could tell you all that, but you know that already.”
“He’s one touch away from fertilizing my trees, Ella. Is that what you want? Yeah, you would like that, wouldn’t you?”
“Before I let you keep lying to yourself, what did you mean when you said everybody keeps going through your garbage today?”
Well, I’m going to get out of here, so I can get home to your mama. How she call herself having another man but I gotta take care of her when she hurt?”
