Kindle Notes & Highlights
“If it’s meant to go that way then it will, Blaze. Right now, I want to protect her cause she’s never had that. I want to learn her because no one has ever cared to do that. I want to spoil her because a woman like her deserves that. I’m big bro’… let me figure out my demons… ight?”
“I know that look.” I laughed. He looked at me. “Then you know I’m coming behind her with a smoking gun?” “Indeed.”
looked at me like I was everything in the world to him. How could I ever not be confident when I had a man that looked at me the way that he did?
Some nights, he got in between my legs and just wanted to be inside of me as he kissed and sucked all over my lips and neck. This man wanted to be inside my skin, that was how much he loved and cherished me.
I don’t want just a baby. I want it all. The love, marriage, and life with my person.
I couldn’t sit and harp on things because life is over that quick, and then what are you going to do? Cry to God and tell him that you had plans on wearing that outfit, going after that guy, or position at work? It was the reason I was intrigued when it came to the entire Core situation. Life was too short to toss the possibility out the window.
The kind of lovesick fool that had you up at three in the morning making their favorite meal because it was what they wanted. The kind of lovesick fool that pulled those walls down and allowed them in.
Meer had me like a lovesick puppy. Something I swore I would never be for a man again. After my divorce I had bottled my heart up and refused to fall into softness when it came to a man. With Quameer, he showed me that I could be soft because he would be the hard for us.
I held his head as he kissed my stomach feeling like this was a dream. Any minute I would wake up with my pillow soaked with tears because I wanted this so bad for myself. Meer’s lips on my stomach reminded me that this wasn’t a dream.
God had blessed me with my dream man.
It was a special feeling when you got to experience what it felt like to have a man listen to you. Not just wave you off and pretend to listen, but one that actually listened and stuck true to his word. Since day one Meer had stood on business and doubled down on his word when it came to me.
“Baby, I love you so much. Not for what you do for me, but for how you love me. How you show me that there’s never a no when it comes to you, you’re going to make it happen for us.”
“The hardest thing I ever had to do was see another nigga hurt you. I swore that the minute you gave me your heart that I was gonna show you how it’s supposed to feel.”
“And you have… I hope that I have shown you how a real love is supposed to feel. How a woman is supposed to pour into her man. One who loves and cherishes you for you are. I accept all that you come with, Meer because I love you… I love Peach, and I love our family we’re building.”
It was how my mother blushed when my father looked at her and complimented her. As much hell that my mother put me through, I was seeing her differently. She was literally just a girl.
“Like I said… forced. I sang this song because whenever I thought about it, I thought about Suga. I always said that I was in the wrong place at the wrong time, but you were always the right one.”
“When I sung that song neither of us was in a place to be what we needed for each other, and it was still the wrong time and place, but you still were the right one. Finally, we’re in this place where it’s the right time and the right place… and you’re mine.”
Peach came and hugged me as we both danced as her father sang to me. She rubbed my stomach and I smiled, my heart on the verge of exploding because I was so happy. I went so long not thinking I deserved this kind of love, and now I knew that I did deserve it, and I’m so glad that I was patient and allowed it to come to me.
He was so excited and as exhausted as I was from pushing, I needed to get my baby girl into this world. I prayed so hard for her and she was right here, almost into the world and I needed to get her there.
I’ve gone through so much when it came to my life, and God blessed me with her. He blessed me with her father and sister first, but he made sure she came right after. Rayce Ann was my angel baby, the little girl that would continue to change me and her father’s world. She didn’t know she was healing her father.
