Here’s to having a nigga that hates his toothpaste being squeezed or food touching but will make a nigga bleed behind you.
Men were gross and until God came down and put me in my future husband’s arms, I was going to stay single and a virgin.
It was always we had a fucking problem, and never Menace we got you a gift for being great.
“Have you ever met Stevie? She would help a burglar rob her damn house.”
“Wonder, the minute you let another nigga touch you is the moment you gonna see why they call me Menace.”
Stevie was sent to kill me, and I was starting to think this shit was a scheme cooked up by Todd.
“You ever got your pussy ate before, Wonder?” She slowly pulled her head up and stared into my eyes. “You won’t put sauce on your chicken, but you’ll eat my pussy?”
“Because I am in love with you, Maverick. I can’t even think of leaving you, even though that was all I wanted to do when I first met you. The thought of you sitting in that house alone before you met me brings tears to my eyes.

“Huh? I can’t hear I don’t have my glasses on… hold on,” I reached for my glasses and put them on.
“That you are the one for me. You give me the space to live in my head, but you also reel me in, too. I can never get too deep in my head before you’re telling me that I’m thinking too loud,”
Oh, and baby you don’t gotta steal grapes no more… we got money to buy some.”
“I know I love him because my heart has never felt that way with anyone. I want to protect him, defend him, and love him all at the same time. I know he can protect himself, and he does very well, I feel like I have to.
“You are now his secret keeper… his soul mate.”
