Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Alecic. Soft-natured. Gentle. Fragile. Mild-mannered. I’d use those words to describe what’s in front of me. Their relation to an actual halo isn’t coincidental. The name suits you.”
“Your pussy is thanking me. That’s what the fuck is going on,” Ledge snarled as he tapped my center with his hand, bringing more of the waterworks. “Oooooohhhhhh my God!”
“When you give me the chance, I’m going to love you down pretty lady, until your heart can’t take anymore.”
“At this point, I’m locked in, aight? Like, locked the fuck in. And, I’d kill anything moving about you and this little one.” I pointed to her stomach while pausing.
I love you, Halo. I’ve never loved a woman in my entire life. My mother was the only woman I’ve ever truly loved and that love is nothing in comparison to this one. The thought of you not being in my world makes me sick to my stomach, physically ill.
“I just know that you’re part of me, now. You’re embedded. Your name, etched right on my heart. And, for the rest of my life, I want to keep loving on you, keep falling in love with you. Soon as you’re all better and feeling like yourself again after giving me the greatest gift ever, I’m locking it down for life. I’m telling you now so don’t freak out on me, pretty lady. Tell ya’ nigga yes when he asks you to marry him. Alright?”
“The one where you feel the need to protect yourself and our daughter from her father; a man that loves her with every fiber in his body.”
“Everyone has spouses and children and just living the dream. Black love at its finest. This is the type of thing that the world wants us to believe isn’t possible or real. Health. Wealth. Love. And Light amongst us.”
Let’s just think of it as a quest and I’m on a mission to unlock doors that were shut a long time ago. Layers. Every love needs them. I’m not expecting access to them all at once. Experiences, trials, ups and downs, hardships… that’ll peel back a new one each and every time. I’m willing to wait as long as I know that you’re the prize in the end. Not some of you, but all of you.”
