"Does that mean you're leaving him?" "Yup and burning this nigga's life savings is my parting gift."
"No one caring for you is the reason you're operating in survival energy. Let a real nigga be your protection and watch how softer your life becomes. You won't have to worry about surviving 'cause you gon thrive, sweetheart."
"Who you looking for?" Coming to my right-side, Honor posted up on the wall next to me. "Chosyn," I answered. "King's girl?" "That nigga's dead, so is she really his?"
"Naturally, we hear a lot of things, but a silent mind at peace deciphers the truth."
Nah, Sweetheart, you're my future, so I gotta make sure I fix what broke in your past so we can fall in love in the present."
the family we're given isn't always the right fit. Choosing people to love is just as powerful as the people given to you to love."
"Don't run from me, Sweetheart. I need you to feed me. I'm starving, and a nigga only wants to eat you."
"Lord, Jesus, and God, I pray that you hear me and hear me clear. Give any nigga who musters up the strength to think about tasting what I just tasted a change of heart. Crack from the 80s has been marinating in between these beautiful ass thick thighs, Lord, and I have fallen victim. I come to you asking to keep any and everyone who isn't me away from this pussy because I would hate to have to bury the entire male population where my heart be. Amen."
Niggas always put on their Sunday best when a woman catches their eye, but as time goes on, the true them pops the fuck out.
"It's a choice. You're worth listening to, so I listen. I study you, Chosyn. For me, I'm not chasing pussy. I'm chasing my future, so I'ma be patient with you because I can see you've been hurt before. I want you, Chosyn. It's that simple."
"Because I'm willing to move mountains to prove it. Every word, my every action will be proof that you can trust me. I wanna be the one to steady you when everything feels uncertain, the hand you reach for when the world is too heavy. I wanna be the light to your dark or vice versa 'cause I'm laying niggas out 'bout you. The reason you believe in love is that, with me, it'll feel like home."
"Oh yeah. Make me have to call your name more than once again, and I'm on your ass. The second you pulled up, my phone should've been the one to ring, not Wolfe's. Fuck I look like letting another nigga park my wife's car? Brother or not, don't fuckin' play with me like that, four."
He was eye fucking you like you're not a married woman—" "I'm not. There's no ring on my finger." "Let me see that finger right quick." River tossed her left hand in my face. I grabbed her wrist with one hand and used my other to pull one of the black rubber bands from my braid. I happily popped that muthafucka on her finger. "We gon' have to use this as a ring 'til I can
The nigga asked what your name was... I can't front. I almost shot that nigga for inquiring information about you."
Her eyes glimmered with the authentic version of her that none of these other niggas could pull out. To them, she was an unsolved mystery, a book of secrets that needed to be decoded. For me, she was the bible.
I had no intentions of fucking with River. I didn't call her by that name, so I was cool. Four, on the other hand, was mine, and I wasn't ready to let up just yet.
"Nice to see you took my advice about wearing your glasses." I smirked. "I'm only wearing them because you stole my fucking contacts!"
"Nigga, you took her glasses?" "Hell yeah. If she can't see, she can't make plates, and I won't have to murder a nigga behind her pretty ass."
"Four, what do you need to see for? God blessed you with fucked up eyes for a reason. He obviously didn't want you to have 20/20 vision. In a way, I'm doing the Lord's work."
didn't partake in speaking to the dead 'cause the nigga I went to visit didn't deserve a conversation. Every year on my father's birthday, I went to his gravesite just to piss all over that muthafucka. Since I was headed over that way, I was gon' bless that nigga with my piss twice this year. It's the least I can do after the bullshit he put our family through.
"Trusting someone is hard. I get that, especially when they're showing you the complete opposite of what you're used to, but exactly what your heart yearns for.
I'll take the bad, the ugly, and the fucking evil that comes with you if it means I can have you for the rest of my life.
"Nah, don't say shit else to me. Drive us home. I'ma fuck the shit out of your horny ass then you on time out." "Time out?" "Fuck I just say? My fuckin' wife coming out at this time of night knowing ain't shit open but legs. Be happy I made it here 'fore your fucking legs parted."
I gotta make an honest woman out of Four 'fore we go see them pearly gates. Maybe then the big G-O-D will let me in if he sees I got a wife and not tryin' to fuck the angel hoes up there."
Call whoever her supposed to be husband is and tell that nigga we gon' have to dual it out 'bout this pussy. What them niggas say? Meet me at dawn or high noon or some shit."
