and stop getting into some shit! Graduate and move on! Y'all too damn old anyway!” Wise words from a male prostitute.
“Someone like you, is all someone like me, is trying to be with.” I made the invisible mic drop with my hand. “Boom.” I let my fingers spread out like an explosion as Namir rolled his eyes, trying not to crack a smile.
Celeste’s eyes widened as she looked at me. “Oh, I didn’t know–––” “It’s fine.” I laughed with a careless wave of my hand. “You didn’t overstep. It’s true. He is fine.” “TALK YO’ SHIT MAGS!” Asha laughed as she laid back on the blanket.
“She’s the only one that moves like a woman is supposed to. That’s why she has the man that she has now. Asha operates a hotline for booty calls at night with the same caller that doesn’t know what she looks like during the day. You turn into a demon and get off on men suffering for your affection.” “Well I try,” Souxie said delicately, taking no offense. “Isis is a hoe. She’s wide open for business. I almost fell in her shit when we fucked.”
“You also said Maggie was probably boring and a dead fish in the bed which is why you probably wouldn’t fuck with her if you had to choose, or did you forget that?” Asha asked, clearly offended.
the mind of a Black woman is the most powerful thing on earth
“Please don’t make me drag you across this table, Asha,” Souxie said tiredly. “Stick to the rivers and lakes you’re used to and figure out how to swim in those before you come play with me.”
“You want to be a teacher?” “A professor.” I smiled. “I realized when I came here that I wanted to teach and travel. Maybe not at this school in particular but I would like to be Dr. Grey…someday. Maybe even be behind the scenes of running my own school.”
“I plan on fucking the shit out of you,” he said with a few blinks of his eyes before tucking his phone in his pocket. “Yeah…” He nodded. “I’m putting your body through it. Any man that thinks he will have any type of chance of coming behind me will think twice.” My mouth fell open as my tongue jabbed into the side of my cheek. “Namir, what?” I laughed. “What are you saying right now? I know we’re going to have sex…I kinda figured that anyway…” “No. It’s not just sex,” he said calmly with his eyes never leaving mine. “I’m painting the walls of my den white…”
“It’s never one or the other that you have to choose from,” she said. “You can be who you are and still be where you’re from…our upbringing is what makes us what we are today…
Don’t let your past make you miss present opportunities to grow for the future.
“You are who you are, but you can be whatever you want to be… I hope that makes sense,”
Courtesy of my dad and the game he’d been giving me since my first crush. Eric Hanes, second grade. Blonde hair with blue eyes. Broke up with me by giving another girl his pencil, and I was devastated. The asshole. Never again.
“When the wolf lies beneath the moon,” she said, voice ethereal, belonging to something out of this world. “He howls as she takes his soul…”
When you know yourself…You’ll probably fall so madly in love with yourself that anything or anyone to disrupt that is like eww.”
Maggie’s goofy demeanor and playful personality did good to hide her true nature, and I’ma leave it at that.
“I’m not gonna tell you what you should or shouldn’t do…or how to respond or what to say.” Although its FUCK THEM! FUCK THOSE FLEABAGS! Fuck your murderous brother! Good riddance! The whole family can kiss my ass! Right behind Wilhelmina and her sick crimes against students! “I just want to say,” I added calmly. “I’m with whatever you wanna do. I’m right behind you.”
Never fully trust a man I slept with and two… That money was needed for Asha as Jean planned on legally adopting her so she could officially have a family in the Underground.
Yes!!
“We can’t,” I whispered. “I deserve a man who isn’t afraid of himself when he’s with me…” Akeem stared at me, lip twitching like he wanted his fangs to come out but he was fighting it. Exactly my point. “And a man who isn’t in a relationship,” I teased,
To accept one, I couldn’t deny the other.
Yeah, in your damn boney ass face Wilhelmina. I’m more than worth the fucking hype, bitch. I’m Maggie Motha Nature Moon Harvesting, Wolf Eater, Queen of Dens GREY!
The chills I felt just watching a row of black masked men get put together by other black men…like some passing of the torch type shit. It was beautiful to see and it felt dope to be a part of it.
Whether she knew it or not, Maggie is that GIRL. This was her year for real. She made me want to be like her when I got older.
Namir was a good man. Compassion and empathy was his strong trait but also his weakness. Your brother is an innocent girl killing, lanky bean head ass bitch and should be put six feet into the ground, never to be heard from again. You purposely hurt Namir, and treat him like shit out of pure jealousy and I hope one day Namir realizes that. His family is jealous of him and whether it has anything to do with me or this moon crap is irrelevant.
“I am exactly who you wish you could be, and will become the very thing you’d fear I would be,” leaning her head back to look at the ceiling of the church. Her eyes began to drain blood and her hands rose in the air, trembling uncontrollably. You could see the fangs growing and her eyes closing as she screamed. “I am what happens when a wolf loves the moon!”
“You don’t own any other clothes besides suits?” I asked. “I dress according to what’s in my bank account for the day,” Bellamy responded,
“Do you wear anything besides sweats and a hoodie?” “I wear your sister when I feel like it,” I muttered, closing my eyes. I could hear him chuckle as I fought back a smile.
The way I never received an invite to the private funeral for Ty said everything I needed to know. Fuck everybody.
“Sisterrrrrrr!” I playfully called out into her room. “Thank you for taking me in! I’ll be in South Carolina to come pick out my bed!”
This is the start of my very own family. Birdie is going to be my wife soon, and one day when she leaves this earth for good? I would be right behind her without a moment to spare seeing as there was no other reason to live.
