He Who Is a Friend (Sadik #1)

by Love Belvin

“In the vision, some of your nights were long. You witnessed things only seen in cinema or between the pages of a novel and/or pamphlet. You were thrust into a world never known to you. You will feel pain, joy, betrayal, bliss, deeper loneliness, and contentment like no other period in your life. There will come a time where you will flee—run in fear.” That made absolutely no sense to me. “But the Lord will be with you.” My heart thundered in my chest at the grave dipping of his voice. “The Stranger you’ve never known knows each strand of hair on your body, has covered you since your conception, and will continue to during this next phase of your life.”

How embarrassing! I was all dressed up for STD testing. Unbelievable!

I knew she fucking wanted me, and I made it that way. Why? Because I was a selfish ass recalcitrant, who went after everything I was told I couldn’t have.

He was at this church in Cali, and some bitch was trying to act like she had the Holy Ghost—you know, the way them church people be falling the fuck out, and shit. Well, Lex said it was mad people at the front of the church, everybody wanted Ezra to pray for them, and shit. Then ol’ girl started coming at Ezra like she was ready to bumrush him, and shit. Lex saw that shit coming from a mile away and moved from behind Ezra as ol’ girl was coming in front of him. Lex circled in front of him quick enough to hook that bitch by the neck and knock her over. The bitch snapped out that fakin’ shit and swung on Lex.” Tasche laughed. “It was over after that. Lex went Harlem Pride on that ass, and had to be pulled off ol’ girl.”

“When you share a bed with me, Bilan, you wear nothing.”
