Capri (Season Three: Delgato Family: Capri)

by Jahquel J.

To every woman who has ever lost herself and had to fight to find her again.

“Take this time and fall in love with Capri. Get to know you, and when you come back, be ready for whatever is to happen.”

“Just being here with you is all I need, Meer Cat.”

“You know everything about me… the rest of the shit is heavy.” “I want to know the heavy stuff.”

Fuck soothing tension… it’s all tension when I see that nigga.”

“You told me that you don’t want children.” I wiped my face. “Do you know how it feels to lie and say you don’t want kids because your husband went and had one with your ex-best friend?” “Shit is wicked.”

“Who says that you won’t ever have those things? Stop counting yourself out… you deserve happiness, Suga. I don’t say that shit because it’s encouraging, I say it because you do. You’ve put everybody before you, and I think it’s time for you to get what you deserve.”

“From whom? I don’t take any man seriously because my trust is all fucked up. Mason has been hitting me up back-to-back, and I keep ignoring him. A whole running back worth millions and I’m ignoring him because I can’t trust him with my heart.”

“Protect her. Love her… she deserves that,”

“I’m not nobody… I’m your Suga. Our secrets are safe with each other… remember you told me that.”

“I mean, you can’t have your cake and eat it, too. It shouldn’t be this hard to talk to me… I’m your Suga, but you’re acting like I’m a stranger. You know me, Meer… you know who I am, and how I am. It shouldn’t be that hard. If you can’t give me this and we’re friends, I don’t want to be in a relationship. You have to let me go, and allow me to find someone that is gonna let me in.”

My husband. My World. My everything: Get the fuck out that chicken spot before I send a bullet through that nigga’s three hundred-million-dollar knee… you cool with him being out this season, Suga?

“You ignoring my calls now?” my eyes looked in the rearview mirror, and Meer was climbing his tall ass over the fucking seat from the trunk.

“What the fuck, Quameer?” “You trying to end that nigga’s career, Suga… shit is foul.”

“Thanks for nearly killing us… night.”

“I’ll be whatever the fuck you wanna call me when it comes to you… why the fuck you out with his ass?”

“You assumed. A simple call could have answered your question. Even a text message… this the shit I be trying to get you to understand… I’m a grown ass man… communicate with me.”

“I communicate. Just say you don’t like that I don’t communicate everything with you. You lied to me, Sug.”

“I’m Big Mama… Meer, niggas want me. I’m not about to play these back-and-forth games with you.”

“I’ll kill every nigga you think you ‘bout to fuck with, Capri… I’ll dead any nigga that thinks they got you… feel me, Big Mama?”

“You always have time for me always… ...

How did I go from being terrified on the side of the highway to turned on by this man.

“I want you, Suga. I ain’t never wanted someone as bad as I want you. I told you that you were bad for me because of how you make me feel. I sat in your trunk considering if I was gonna blow that nigga’s knee out over you.”

“Why are you making it so complicated then, Meer? I’ve let you in… all I’m asking is for you to let me in now. I don’t want to feel like I’m in the dark...

“Kincaid never spoke about his family to me. When he got shot, I realized how much he knew about me and how little I knew about him. It hurt knowing another woman knew more about my man. Same situation, different man,”

“Suga, ain’t no going back once I’m in that shit… if you thought me tracking you down and getting in your trunk was crazy… once I mark my territory, all bets are fucking off.”

“There’s no going back once you’re in here… you can’t leave me, Meer.”

“Aceite isso como uma boa menina, meu amor,” when he spoke Portuguese in my ear, I just about lost it and the dam broke, releasing everything I had inside of me. “Me…Meer,” I cried out because my body felt so good. He slowed down, hugging me into him while he bit my neck, and I felt his dick pulsating inside of me. “I swear to God I will kill a nigga behind you, Capri.”
