“Nah, I got you. I get you wanna do this by yourself and I think that’s dope as fuck, but as long as I’m by your side and sliding up in you, you’ll never have to worry about shit. Consider it done already. I’ll have everything for you by tomorrow. Just let me know what you need.”

“Not when it comes to none sense. I won’t ever listen to you tell me that I can’t take care of you.”

“Thank you for taking time out to show Mel a good time, boo.” Harmony told him, feeling emotional. “You’re such a good man, Santana.” She turned around to face him, her gray orbs gazing into his.

“I’m not always good, Shawty. On some real shit, sometimes I feel like I don’t even deserve happiness.” He stared off into space. The words slipped from his lips before he could catch them.

“You deserve every ounce of happiness. The only thing that matters to me is that you’re good with me and Mel. I think you’re outstanding, baby.” She grinned from ear to ear.

“Let’s have some more fun and then we’ll head to your place so I can give you what you’ve been missing.” He chuckled.

“How you changed my world, you’ll never know. I’m different now, you helped me grow. You came into my life sent from above. When I lost all hope, you showed me love. I’m checking for you boy, you’re right on time…”

“I’ve had it all. Bitches, money, cars, and clothes. A lot of shit that’s supposed to make a person happy, but none of that shit compares to how happy I feel when I’m with you.” He confessed, putting himself out there.

“I fuck with you, and I’ve fallen in love with you, Lil’ mama. Don’t worry about that other shit. I’m very low-key in my older days. A nigga stays out the way. Yo’ man at the top of the food chain. I’m not some young nigga who’s a loose cannon. I only get my hands dirty when I need to. I'll never bring the streets to our doorstep. I’m good, we are good. Alright?”
