The Blueprint To Love

by T'Lyn

Maybe I should talk to Gee. I didn’t believe their story when Gideon and Rhian first told me they’d eloped in Vegas after one night because from the outside looking in, you’d think they had known each other and been in love all of our lives, but I knew my cousin. He didn’t lie.

Oh heavens, note to self Alana is Gideon's (One Eighty) cousin.

“Tameka.”

every time my name appears in a book spelled the correct way, she's trash 🤦🏾‍♀️🤣

“Naw, it’s gon’ be you too or we gon’ have a big, big problem, beautiful,” I let her know as I pushed inside of her place, shutting the door behind me. “I don’t disrespect you and I have no intentions to, so you gon’ run me mine in return. If there’s an issue, say that, and let me fix it. I don’t do these little elementary games and temper tantrums. You’re too grown and too pretty to have your face all frowned up.”

let your last love know Noah.

“Not me. I love to curse. It’s like seasoning salt for my sentences,” she replied and we fell out laughing.

I'm going to have to use this one...

“But you didn’t,” I admitted, easing one of hands onto the side of her face. “Did this happen the way I imagined it would? Naw, but I’m cool with that, and after speaking to God about it, I think He is too.” She got ready to speak, but I wasn’t ready for her. I needed to finish what I was saying and get that beautiful smile back in place. “I never imagined I would be in this predicament when it came to marriage, but oddly I feel like I’m exactly where I need to be, how God intended for it to be. Now, baby girl, I am very attracted to you. And if I could choose any other woman on earth to be with and do this with, it would always be you.”

awww Noah

“No, what you’re doing is disrespecting my husband,” I let her know. “I’m sure you’re used to talking to and about him in a fucked up way and he allows it because for whatever reason he loves you, but Mrs. Tate, I do not share that sentiment and will fuck you up for playing games with my man, okay? He’s a good man that actually came from a pretty shitty family, but he has me and mine now and well, I’m sure you know what comes with being a Powers, right?” I smirked. “So, when it comes down to my husband…” I stepped a little closer. “Well, just don’t let it come down to my husband. Okay?”

say that shit Alana... this heifer Brenda Tate is getting on so my damn nerve
