She was far too beautiful to be so ugly.
“It’s okay to be soft, baby girl. It’s okay to apologize when you’re wrong.”
The only reason a woman fights getting to know a man she’s attracted to is either she already has a man, or she has some trauma in her past that has her building brick walls.”
“Thanks, Mimi. I love you.” “I love you more, baby.”
Aww
I can have on mismatched socks, church shoes, basketball shorts, and a long-sleeved shirt, but if this beard is right, that’s all that matters.”
“She so fucking pretty. It’s a shame how I’m finna fuck her up.”
Everyone didn’t deserve me, but it was clear in this moment that he did. He deserved everything I had to offer him. Any man that could pull my emotions out of me this way deserved the world. He was quickly proving that he had the world to offer to me.
“If you meant what you said and you’re mine, then it’s my job to help you. I want you to be whole. You can’t be whole if you won’t admit you’re broken. I got’chu, baby. I’m here for you every step of the way.”
“It’s okay to say when you aren’t okay. I’ll never judge you, baby.”
“Bliss.”
My spirit was receptive to hers,
“Girl, you wasn’t worried about no damn flowers. You just wanted this tree trunk to put roots in you.”
Axton was the man I prayed for. He possessed all the qualities I prayed for. The nigga was almost too good to be true. But why would I pray for a specific thing and then think it was a hoax that I got it? What was the prayer for if I didn’t think I would get it?
God’s timing wasn’t my timing. He knew what I needed and when I needed it. I was just grateful that I accepted His gift to me this time around.
“I hope we never run into anybody from my past, ’cause you know I ain’t the type to sit quietly while you go off. I’m a tit for tat type of nigga.”
“Shy can’t hold cold water. He’d tell us all when Jesus was coming back if he knew.”
Maaaann… she swallowed so much of my seeds, every time she belched, she should have heard my kids laughing.
She could lay her burdens down with me. I’d bear every one of those fuckers like I was Mr. Incredible.
“You don’t have to thank me for being a man. A real man could never ignore the cries of his woman. Never.
“Dylan… nigga, I don’t need to know allat. You barely talk, but nigga, when you do, you say too fucking much.”
You need to quit wearing them fucking sweatpants showing off all your nasty ass assets.” “It don’t matter what kind of pants I wear. My monster gon’ show out in whatever I got on.”
His tongue was bipolar, and I was enjoying every manic high that shit was taking me on.
I granted his every wish like a damn genie whenever he slutted me out.
I wanna love you with everything in me… with everything I have and in every way I know.”

“You are it for me, Alexzandria Marie Berotte. Real shit. I’m not falling though.” Before I could lift my head, he kissed my forehead, and said, “I’m already there. I love you, Alexz.”
“That’s what happens when you throw Ax under the bus. I pull yo’ ass with me.”
“I’m not perfect. I just hope that you can accept my imperfections when they present themselves.”
If I couldn’t have you, I wouldn’t have nobody, baby.”
