Capri 1.5 (Season Three: Delgato Family: Capri)

by Jahquel J.

The reason their marriage worked all these years was because they balanced each other. They had the perfect rhythm for their marriage, and it always worked out. I aspired to have a marriage like my parents. One where the respect was mutual, and our personalities balanced each other, rather than battled one another.

I found myself becoming needy whenever Quameer was near. He made me turn my thoughts off because he handled everything. I didn’t feel the need to be so guarded, and strong around him. I was able to feel at ease, move with ease, and never question his motives when it came to me. It had been so long since I had been able to feel safe with a man that it scared me at times.

“I wanna make you smile like this every fucking day. Know why?” “Why?” I kissed the side of his face. “Because you deserve that shit, Capri. You deserve for a nigga to keep a smile on your face.” He kissed my teeth while I blushed.

“When our paths crossed again, I knew this was God telling me that he wasn’t going to give me another chance. He also told me not to rush into it, and to be patient. You know me, Sug… you know I’m not a patient man. I trusted the man upstairs because I needed him to make this happen for me… for us. I know what I want, and I have known since you boarded that flight. Marriage scares you because you’ve been there and done that. Sug, you haven’t done it with me yet.”

“I love you for the patience that you have had with me. The grace you have shown me when I couldn’t show myself it. INY. I can’t do it without you… I don’t wanna do this without you.”

“Keep eye fucking what’s mine and Ding Dong ain’t gonna be the only bad man in this bitch,”
