On Us

by Nina.

You can’t make a man be somewhere he don’t want to be, and you tried to do that with a FUCKIN baby and you sitting here mad at everybody else except the one person who got you in this situation, YOU!”

Lake didn’t look at Avery like a man who wanted to have sex, or a man who thought she was beautiful. He looked at her like she had the key to something he desperately needed. Like she was the answer to his prayers.

“It don’t matter what happens, okay? Who come and who goes. Babies no babies. I always got the both of yall. We for life. On us.”

Lake stared at her, eyes raw with emotion. Vulnerable. A look that Avery would only be fortunate enough to see. He wouldn’t share or do any of the things he did with her with anyone else. This was reserved for her. Lake realized he couldn’t fight that.

Something about a black man, a gun, and a nightstand.

Iktr!

wish I could have had a fucking life! I gave that up for you! You are the most ungrateful bitch I have ever seen in my life!”

Clock it!
