Just because that is how you make your money doesn’t mean it has to consume you. You can just be you and someone will love you for just that.”
“Everybody is looking for love, Kinga… everybody. Even the toughest man hiding behind his words and venom is looking for somebody to love him constantly…
“Hood dude or not, my auntie would have my ass if she knew I didn’t open your door. Whenever you with me don’t touch no fucking door, Harlem.”
I’m laid back most of the time. I mean, until I lean forward. Nobody wants that, because then I’ll end up showing my ass at people’s establishments.”
“I don’t believe I invited you to do anything else.” “Not with your words you didn’t, but nah Harlem, you don’t want these problems. I’m hood as fuck and I complicate shit.”
“Probably, but from what I see, I like. So yeah, I’ll trunk a nigga for you.”
“After I put this pussy in my mouth, it’s mine. You know that, right?”
Stay a kid as long as you can because this adult shit ain’t no joke.”
“And here I thought I was the only boring one in this relationship.” “Nah, you ain’t. I mean you a lil boring, but so am I, baby.”
“You’re spoiling him. Like for real,” Blaze said, sipping from the glass of water in front of her. “And? She supposed to spoil me ’cause I’ma spoil the fuck outta her regardless.”
“You do this relationship thing well for someone who doesn’t do relationships.” “This ain’t relationship stuff. This is just me seeing you and appreciating what I see.”
“I’on believe in magic and all that other stuff, but you were sent to me. Had to have been because I’on think I ever had anybody look at me like you do.” “How do I look at you?” “Like I ain’t as fucked up as I know I am.” “’Cause you aren’t. You are perfect to me.”
“Why would I leave you?” “’Cause you’ll realize I ain’t perfect.”
The way he looked at me made my heart hurt. He never told me he had abandonment issues but in his eyes I saw something.
“You’re still perfect in my eyes, regardless of what you think I’ma realize.”
“I ain’t no victim, baby.” “I didn’t say you were, but if somebody is messing with you, you have the right to react.”
“You love me so much that you’d justify the fact that I’m a menace in these streets?” “I didn’t think of it like that but I guess so. Yeah.”
“You just being you. You got this crazy way of making me feel so protected, so loved, that I know nothing will ever touch me…well, except you.”
“Dead ass serious. All due respect, she grown and so am I. Harlem is my fucking heart, hurting her would be me hurting my damn self. Hell nah I ain’t going out like that.”
That lil nigga Sabastian keeps trying me, but it’s cool, I’ma yoke his ass up.”
