Kindle Notes & Highlights
“So, since you have … let me think, Dru, Tyrell, James, and Russ, why are you still on the dating app?” “Because scouting has to take place year-round. I’m still open to adding to the team. Anyone can get cut at any time, and I have to be on the waiver wire to pick up new talent. It’s always draft season, boo!”
“Don’t let a series of bad dates keep you from doing what you want to do. If I’d let a bad date keep me down, I wouldn’t have the elite starting four that I have now.”
“I know what I want. But sometimes I talk to you and I’m like, Nina has this shit on lock.” “And do!” “I have to get it together.” “Then join me in these streets!”
“If out of nowhere a man explicitly says he’s not a player, it’s because he’s the coach.”
“Don’t trust anything that muthafucka says.”
“That might be the nicest thing you’ve ever said to me.” “I say nice stuff all the time!” He lowered his voice and leaned forward. “I’m talking about when my dick isn’t inside that tight pussy of yours.” “Valid.”
“You took the picture. You didn’t crop the picture. And then you proceeded to call me Kristy Yamacoochie,”
😆😆😆😆
“I wasn’t going to take your man,” she sputtered. “The only thing you could take from me is notes.”
Even though I wasn’t jealous and would never fight over a man, I meant everything I said to the waitress. And if there was one man who was worth the confrontation, it was Russell Long.
Baby, you just showed your desire to be that man’s only companion.
“I might be fat, but I’ll never be the bigger person.”
“You look at me like that again and I’ll take you in the backseat.”
“Nah, after the way you teased me on that helicopter, I need you to stretch me out and take care of me.”
“I want you to come on my tongue.” He licked his lips and scanned my body with a heated gaze. “And then I want you to come on my dick.”
“You got a mouth on you,” his friend commented. “If you keep running it, I’ll give you something to put in it.”
“I’m not taking any recommendations for what to put in my mouth from you. Your side tooth is on hospice,” I retorted.
“I’m starting to think my soulmate was swallowed.”
at the end of the day, I don’t play favorites. No one is getting chose. It’s all for one and one for all … and I’m the one.”
“You’ve been avoiding coming back to my place for the last six weeks, and I miss the way you feel on my dick.” He exhaled so his breath tickled my neck. “And I’m willing to beg for it.”
“That’s a lot of energy for some pussy you’re not going to get,”
“Those aren’t baby hairs. Those are adult hairs. They got bad knees and a pension.”
Even if I wasn’t free, I would clear my schedule for him.
That should tell you something, ma’am!
What do I need to wear or bring?
Wear sneakers and something comfortable. And as long as you pack some shoes you can dance in, I’ll take care of everything else.
A chill ran down my spine. This is the energy I like,
“Calling you and telling you what I want to do is completely different than standing in front of you and telling you.” “And why’s that?” He glanced around before slipping his hands over my ass and grabbing each cheek. “Because if I have you in front of me, it’s not going to be just talk.”
all I’m saying is that if you’re pouring like this you need to always make sure whoever you’re pouring into is pouring back with the same energy.” He put his hand on my thigh. “Make sure they earn this shit.”
“That was when you told me you were scared of E.T. as a kid.”
“I was four, and that muthafucka was an alien!”
“The only way to work the system is to know the system,”
“And I’m going to always have your back in public.”
“And I’ll call you on your shit in private.”
“Are you trying to seduce me?”
“Always.”
Life is too short for you not to be doing what makes you happy.”
“If it’s been on your mind to do it, you should do it. If it’s going to make you happy, you should absolutely do it. We have one life to live so we have to live it to the fullest.”
the way you look when you talk about what you’re passionate about is sexy as hell.”
“Let these other dudes know you’re not available anymore.”
“What if I’m not looking to be in a relationship?”
“What if you found one anyway?”
I couldn’t respond. I didn’t trust myself. Anything I would’ve said would’ve resulted in me with my mouth open. Either a sob would’ve come out, or his dick would’ve gone in. Neither needed to happen, so I swallowed my feelings.
“So, he kissed you and he fired someone for you?”
He really did fuck the common sense out of me.
“When we first met, I was cool with brushing it off as an escape from real life. But it was never that. You’re not an escape from real life. You are real life. And I escape from everything else to have real life with you.”
“When I say you’re my escape, I mean you’re my freedom.” He cupped my face. “When I say you’re my escape, I mean I can be myself with you.” His mouth hovered over mine. “When I say you’re my escape, I mean that whenever and wherever we’re together, it’s the only place I want to be.”
It doesn’t matter what you plan for when God’s already got your plan in motion.
The diverse roster I’d built was pretty elite. And I gave it all up for Russ.
“Look at you. You’re smart and sweet and charming and funny and sexy…”
“And the dick is immaculate.”
“The way the two of you have been carrying on, you might as well admit you love him and propose,” Aaliyah teased.
“You know it’s yours, don’t you? This dick has always been yours.”
