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.
My mother thought she would have the man she married forever. He promised to love her, right before God. He gave her his word, and the minute that the signature on the certificate dried, he was doing him, breaking those very promises he had given her. I never wanted a love like that to find me.
“Baby, money cannot buy the kind of person you are. Stevie, I know I give you mess for being so forgetful, so forgiving, and kind… but you are a light, honey. There are women wanting to be their true selves, and you are that unapologetically.”
“I’m saying it because I think you are ready to be my wife. Forever ain’t shit that I ever believed in until I met you. I want forever with you and I want to take care of you. This house has never had love in it, and you came in and brought that shit with you. The staff loves you, Wonder. You brighten their day when you come down humming or giving them a canvas that yo’ ass never finished but got them looking at it like it’s a deeper meaning to it.”
“You make me feel like this, and I know now that I needed a wife. I needed you in my life, and now that I got you, I ain’t never letting you go.”
