I didn’t want any other woman…except for Ms. Strickland. And I wanted her bad.
I made a vow to myself at that moment to never forget that, to never deny my own beauty again, and to never ever attach my self-worth to how someone else treated me.
“You need to stop thinking so damn much.”
The fuck?! She was curving me? ME? That shit never happened. NEVER!
Him: I took off today because u wore me out yesterday. Me: All we did was talk. Him: U talk a lot.
“See, Earth, Wind & Fire makes you want to pick up the phone and tell your woman you love her. But the Isleys? They make you wanna drive to her house in the pouring rain, beat on her door, climb in her bed, and fuck her soul out.”
“Tell me what to say, and I’ll say it and I’ll fucking mean it. I’ll mean it from my soul.”
“I just wanna be with you. That’s all I want, baby. It’s all I think about. It’s all I’ve thought about since the day I first laid eyes on you. Don’t go on that date. Please, don’t go. Stay with me. Baby, please…just stay here with me. I’m fucking begging you not to go. I’ll do anything, anything you ask. Just stay…”
“Baby, we could be in a crowd of a million women and I’d only see you. You got me, Angela. I’m yours.”
“I know this is your house, but if you put your hands on this one right here? I’ma have to put my motherfucking hands on you. Renee invited us in, so we’re here. If she wants us to leave, we’ll leave, but I promise on my dead mother, if you touch my woman, I will end your ass and I mean that shit. Don’t let the light skin fool you.”
“Thank you for loving me like you do.” He shook his head. “Naw, baby. Thank you for letting me love you and for loving me back.”
