Devantè had planted his seed and because we didn't have a contraceptive I knew I was gonna have to deal with the aftermath.
De sat up with heavy breathes as he look at me.
His face looked of guilt but giving him a reassuring smile with a kiss caused him to smirk back.
Reading each other like always we did, We'd just have to deal with this shit later...
Our eyes spoke Let's Not Waste Anymore Of Tonight....
After Devantè trailed me back to the dorm, I hopped in his ride as he drove us back to his. He was texting away on the keypads that had me puzzled for a minute.
When he snuck me inside. Dalvin was nowhere in sight-he must've told him to get out. I laughed at the thought of what he must've said to make Dal skiddadle.
We resumed on making sweet passionate love all over again, and used protection this go around-we took our time holding and enjoying one another, basking in one other's skin. It was sensual, beautiful, and sweaty.
I cherished every minute of it...
My eyes opened peering over to the window. Daylight had not appeared but it was still bright out.
Dawn. My favorite time of day-
And I was laying with the new love of my life who was snuggled behind, holding me tight in his grasp.
I closed my eyes listening to his light snores soothe my ears.
Everything about this man was beautiful from the top of his head to the bottom of his timberland boots which sat on the floor-they were the first thing he kicked off as he undressed us once again.
We had made love fives times in a row before calling it a night and each time was memorable than the last. We were no longer afraid-we gave it everything we had.
Now I was here, laid out in this twin sized bed-his oversized tshirt that was obviously too big for me as it hung low before my knees.
It was practically a nightgown on me.
I moved a little causing De to stir in his sleep. He pulled me closer his nose nuzzled into my hair as kissing my crown-he made we feel so secure.
K was right, he was indeed a Teddy Bear and thanks to him, De was all mines to have.
I turned around surprisingly not waking him as I took a mental snapshot in my head.
This man put it down and still managed to wrap his head in a black silk durag. He truly was something spectacular watching him sleep.
I couldn't describe it-The feeling of being able call this man my own and those words he spoke still lingered within my veins.
"Must hadn't put it down hard enough seeing you all in my grill" his beautiful baritone voice spoke giving a side grin displaying his gums-I smirked.
"Naw you did yo thang" I responded back
"Guess my body's just programmed this way. You think I'm sleep but most of the time, I just stay up and wait til the sun rises". Devantè hazels found their way to my ambers gawking at me for awhile.
Lifting his hand he softly caressed my face and wildly untamed mane
"You're so beautiful you know that?".
"De don't tell me that" I huffed "Probably look like who did it and what for".
"IT's JuST uH fRieNdLy ComPlimEnt" he mocked me making faces as I giggled. I leaned forward gracing him with pecks to his face. He moaned a bit.
"Mmm I could make love to you over and over again" he smirked.
"De five times" I reminded him "Haven't you had enough".
"When it comes to you?" He tilted his head "Shit Na". I laughed a little
"I probably won't be able to go back to sleep though" I pouted looking back at the window. As soon as those words seeped out, De sat up hovering over me. I thought he was gonna dive back in but instead he got out the bed.
He began putting on his basketball shorts heading to his closet. He pulled out a navy blue pullover fleece tossing it my way. I caught it mid air
"De what are yo-"
"Stop asking questions woman. Put that on and get dressed" he instructed never turning his back pulling out a red hoodie for himself.
The two of us got dressed raiding the hallways and lobby making sure we didn't get spotted. Now making a break for it, we hopped back into his vehicle.
"Don't expect me to keep making a habit outta this shit" he smirked driving with one hand, holding mine with the other.
"Next time you can't sleep I'ma just knock yo ass out". I laughed looking out of the window as my mind started wondering. De took us to McDonalds to get a quick breakfast before reaching the next destination.
I wanted to ask him where we were heading but I learned not to question him when he was up to something.
Devantè stopped and put the car in park.
"Aight we here" he grinned as my eyes lit up.
We were at Raleigh-Durham International airport. The lights were dazzling as we watched one or two planes take off
De let the radio play as we sat in silence eating our meals-well that is until one of my favorite artist cooed through his speakers as crisp as ever
-I squealed causing De to lift his brow stopping mid chew.
"Oooh I looovveee this song" I turned it up a bit "Perfect song to a perfect setting". I snapped my fingers singing while pressing my hands to my chest giving Devantè a live performance.
"Aye who dis?" he pointed.
"Oh that's Alexander O'Neal" I smiled with excitement "I love him".
"Shit well let the man do his job and sing it" he smirked. I glared over at him as he laughed a bit.
"See all THAT wasn't called for sir" I waved my hand in his face closing them.
We went back to eating but I couldn't help but sway my hips, singing the lyrics to myself.
"I swear you so pretty Dada" he sheepishly grinned staring at my messy bun wearing his large pullover that looked like a dress.
"I can't believe you're mine". I stopped, looking over at him being sincere.
"Who said I'm yours" I teased making him dropped his mouth.
"You didn't even ask me to be your girl yet" I smirked. Devantè chuckled as he laid back in his seat he lowered earlier.
Looking over my way as his hazels twinkled, he licked his lips and parted them.
"Don Dada...you wanna be my girl?" he asked all seductive like. I blushed barely able to look at him but nodded.
"Wow you haven't called me that in a minute" I said licking the strawberry jelly off my thumb.
"What you miss that little nickname?" He tilted.
"It just reminds me of how we once were and how far we came" I laughed "You pretended this whole time?".
"You were very attractive I can easily say that" he chuckled "But the feels didn't come til...". I awaited for his response
"Til I first put myself inside you" he answered "The way your body responded to mine. I'll never forget that feeling".
"Even with K in the room cheering us on?" I joked causing the two of us to laugh.
"Sorry. Not sorry but when we were going at it" he paused "I only saw you". I looked down tucking my lip back.
"Me too" I admitted "Maybe I was being blind to it but I was falling for you all along De". Devantè nodded looking away as well.
"Dada...as much as I enjoy going down memory lane with you" he wet his lips "We need to discuss this little situation real quick".
"What situation?" I asked looking at him. De didn't look back but his hand reached over and touched my belly.
My heart leapt to my throat. I was so in the moment I forgot that he came in me last night.
It was a big IF...but I could possibly become pregnant from last night's event.
"What do YOU want to do brat?" he asked. I grinned remembering the time he covered my eyes for my surprise.
Snow Cocaine was fully decked out as promised, decorated just as he described. The front tag was airbrushed and read Brat in the front, I couldn't help but gush at the thought he put behind my vehicle.
As much as I loved picturing De holding our child in his arms smiling and laughing, I didn't wanna put the heat on him.
"I dunno...guess we'll have to cross that bridge when we get there" I said looking at his hand.
"Are you even ready to be a father Devantè?" I questioned "Like seriously. We're gonna be Seniors pretty soon". With a swipe of his lips, he finally looked at me.
"Yeah...I know" he sighed "I was actually surprised you let me but it just told me that maybe you wanted this too".
"What made you decide to do it?" I asked really curious.
"I wanted to have a part of you like you would have a part of me" he shrugged "Because you're seriously the one Dada. You it for me baby".
I felt my eyes getting glossy.
"It sounds crazy I know but..." he continued "Something in my heart just told me you were. I found someone who sees me for me and I never wanna lose that". I gave a smirk
"And with me you're good" he rushed "You won't have to want for shit Dada. I'll handle all the financial stuff. My family loves kids-although they'll kick my ass for not introducing you first".
I laughed shaking my head.
"De I tell you what" I paused "If I am then...yes". Devantè eyes glistened
"I'll have this baby with you" I lightly smiled. Something in Devantè's face shifted. He was serious about this and so was I
Sometimes love didn't have a timeframe-it just happened.
Five weeks later...
Just as I'd predicted, I missed my period.
I informed Tià about what happened and like a true friend she was very supportive and comforting.
She didn't judge nor look down on me.
"Did you talk to Devantè?" She asked sitting by me as I clung to my pillow.
"I texted him this morning" I answered "I didn't get a reply yet". Tià lifted her brow shocked that Devantè wasn't being responsive.
"Dada it's 3 in the evening" she jumped "He better not be backing out after he did what he did".
"I don't understand. He was so supportive at first" I wiped my cheek "He wanted this as much as I did". My tears fell as I grabbed my pillow harder.
"I can't believe he'd leave me hanging like this" I sniffled.
"I'm here Dada and as soon as I see his ass I'ma fuck him u-"
KNOCK KNOCK. Our eyes locked to each other then back to the door. Tià sat up walking over while I quickly dried my tears.
I watched Tià eyes as she looked over my way.....She cleared her throat taking a step back.
K walked in with a concerned look on his face.
"Hey Tià can I have a minute with Dada?" he asked.
"Ummm" she rubbed her hands looking over my way.
"It's okay Tià" I sat up removing my pillow "We good".
"Alright I'll be down the hall" she looked over to K wearing a warning sign on her face.
She closed the door and the two of us stood there.
"K...wa-" I stuttered "What brings you this way?".
"De text me" he answered "Told me what was going on". I inhaled as the tears fought to get out.
"K I know how this looks" I shrugged "It just happe-".
"Are you okay?" he lifted his brow.
"Yeah...yeah for the most part I am" I folded my arms "I'm just wondering where De is...I'm feeling a little abandoned here". K grabbed me into a hug as the tears began to pour.
"It's okay Da I'm here" he rubbed my back "Watchu need darling?".
"I need to know where De is" I cried "I haven't heard from him all day".
"I haven't seen him all day either" he replied "He gave me a text saying you missed your menstrual and I would know what to do".
I lifted my head up in disbelief.
"Are you serious..." I gritted "Thank you for being here K but this isn't your responsibility. It's his".
"I know it's not" he said "But I'm not letting you go through this alone". I looked down holding myself. K peered down as his eyes squinted.
"You still have my ring" he pointed out. I looked to the ring as he slowly lifted my hand caressing it.
"Yeah..um the night I found De. I told him how I felt and how you gave your blessing" I smirked
"He said he'd never take you away from me. He knew I still had love for you".
"I do too" he smirked "That's why I'm here".
"Thank you...for not judging or being upset about this" I frowned "I for sure thought we would lose you".
"Naw. You both mean too much to me" he answered "Love both of ya'll sensitive asses". I laughed wiping a tear.
IF YA'LL NIGROS DON'T WAIT A GAHDAYMUM SECOND SHIT!!
Tià voice yelled on the other side. I tilted my head watching the doorknob twist.
My sis came in cheesing like hell. She moved aside and my face instantly brighten.
Dalvin walked in holding a blue teddy bear and behind him was Devantè with a basket full of candies along with bath & body works products.
I clasp my hands to my mouth trying not to cry again. K stepped back as the two came towards me.
Dalvin gave me the big bear as he kissed my cheek. I gave him a tight hug-
Devantè slowly walked over as he wrapped his arm around my waist and my face began to swell with joy. He leaned down and kiss my lips.
"I thought you bailed on me" I sniffled.
"Never baby" he pecked my lips again as he looked over to K "Good lookin out man". I looked over a K who gave a wide grin.
"You both set me up!" I jumped.
"Yeah ya man sent that text and ask me to keep you distracted while they went off campus to get chu something" he placed his hands behind his back.
I shook my head smiling at him.
"I swear you two are gonna be the death of me" I chuckled. Tià leaned on the door smirking at the three of us.
"You ready sis?" She asked.
Devantè went inside the basket as he pulled out a pregnancy test. I looked at him and then back at the test slowly removing it from his hand.
"We'll be waiting while you handle your business" he smirked making me blush. I looked around to everyone who had so much love in their eyes.
I took a breath as I made my way over to the bathroom. Not before turning to them.
"You guys are the best thing that could ever happen to me" I smiled. They smiled back as I went into the bathroom.
The five us sat around waiting for the timer on my phone to go off. K and Devantè sat on each side of me-K holding my hand while Dal and Tià sat on her bed wit their hands under their chin.
This had to be the scariest three minutes of our lives...Had to be worse than waiting for the last grade of our finals.
K couldn't even get us to laugh because he was just as nervous. His hand held mine tightly not looking my way. De held my waist with his chin on my shoulder cheek to cheek.
His warmth was the only thing keeping me stable.
"Has it been three minutes yet?!" scoffed Dalvin "This shit gettin me tight. I wanna know if I'm an Uncle".
"Nigha she just set the shit calm down" grunted Devantè.
"What ya'll want it to be" Tià "I'ma spoil it either way".
"A boy/girl" we both answered then looked at each other. We could never agree on shit.
"De I want a boy" I whined "She's gonna steal you away".
"Damn Dada can I just have this one thing without you getting jealous" he chuckled "Lemme have my little Princess".
"Naw not with Dada man" smirked K "She greedy as hell. You'll get use to it". Everybody laughed as I swatted him.
The buzzer made us leap in the air. I quickly sat up turning it off-I looked to my crew.
"Who's gonna check it?" I asked. Everybody looked at me crazy.
"I'm too nervous" I said "De you do it".
"I'm scared too" he contorted his face "This shit scarier than Texas Chainsaw".
"I would but I don't like touch somebody's pee stick" added Dal.
"Damn I'll do it" huffed Tià as she walked into the bathroom. I rushed back over sitting back in between the two holding their hands again.
Tià came out still looking at the test as she made her way over to us. Her eyes beamed up.
"It's Negative" she frowned giving me the test. I grabbed the stick out of her hand reading at it myself.
One line...It was Negative.
"Ain't no way man" K grabbed it "This thing gotta be busted".
"It's suppose to be the best brand" said De grabbing the stick as well. "It's 95% percent accurate".
"I don't understand" I moped "I missed my period. It's been a little over a month".
"You just bought her one De" frowned Dalvin "She needed to pee on six of them mugs my nig". Everyone was just as confused as I was.
I didn't know why but I was so disappointed.
"We'll get you another baby" De kissed my temple "K and Dal right. I should've gotten you more".
"It's okay" I lightly smirked. Eventually the guys left an hour later seeing they had to get back to their homework as did we.
Tià couldn't help but console me every chance she got.
She knew my mind was everywhere and I couldn't function. Devantè texted me later asking if I needed anything but I told him I was fine.
And for the first time, he texted I Love You and that was the only thing that calm me down for the remainder of the day. I told him I Loved him as well.
🌔🌖
Later that night, I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen like something was pricking me with needles....I hopped up from my bed racing to the bathroom.
I sat on the toilet seat and as clear as day-Aunt Flo decided to rear her ugly face.
Now I was in twice as much pain, physically and mentally.
I leaned onto my knees crying silently. In a matter of seconds, Tià walked into the bathroom checking on me.
I knew she seen the stained underwear around my ankles but I didn't care. I wanted a baby but God denied our request.
Without saying a word, Katià turned the shower on and pulled out my night clothes with an ALWAYS pad sitting at the top.
First day periods were the worse and I knew I wasn't going to class especially how I was feeling now.
Katià left me to finish up as I got into the shower washing myself wishing I could scrub the pain away but it was still there.
I finally stepped out of the shower and there was my best friend with Advil and a bottle of water-I would forever love her for this
We always prepared for our monthly visitor but this was a different occasion. Me and De would not be expecting.
I tried keeping it together but when she rubbed my back, I lost it. Tià laid in my bed as she wrapped her arms around me.
"I have to text De and let him know" I picked up my phone but she grabbed it out of my hand.
"You'll tell him tomorrow" she said
"There's nothing he can do tonight. If you're this upset imagine how he'll be". I shook my head knowing De would be just as devastated and restless.
"It wasn't ya'll's time Dada" she rubbed my head "You two are young. Enjoy one another before ya'll decide to bring another life into this world". Tià was right....
Me and De have yet to live and we just made it official last week that we were dating. Sleep finally found me as I drifted off dreaming of the family that would not be but hopefully will would in the future.
The next day, I gave De the news and about last night's incident.
Like Tia said, he was disappointed. He wanted a family with me but I assured him that we'd be okay and to not rush God's timing.
We both took a trip to the clinic later that day, I decided on getting the pill.
De was fine what whatever decision I made but I knew he hated condoms but I couldn't blame him. He didn't wanna be inside no one else but me.
I told the doctor what happened due to the fact I still couldn't process why I wasn't pregnant.
She informed me that stress was what delayed my cycle, saying that it was common to have those pregnancy scares.
Lord knows I was stress as stress could get. I trusted Devante knowing he'd be there providing for me and his unborn, but this was definitely for the best.
When we got back to campus, we a took little stroll.
"I texted the crew earlier today" he blurted out "I'm announcing my departure from TMS".
"How you think they will respond when you tell them you leaving?" I asked.
"Eehhh who knows. I think I had my share of Gamma Phi Gimme" he smirked "Time for them and some other newcomers to have their fun".
"I just hope they don't turn on you just because of me" I frowned
"They're my brothers Da" he said looking down "They won't but even if they did, I'm willing to give all that up for you".
My girl hit it on the head again, Devante was truly the one for me. I thought I could remove K from the society but De did it with no questions asked.
He really was my soulmate.
"You ready for me to embarrass myself?" he teased chuckling
"I'm always down to see you get grilled De" I laughed "But I'll be there with you".
"I know you will" he said as he kissed the side of my forehead.
Devantè and I made it to the TMS hangout spot gearing up for his formal farewell to them all.
We waited for everyone to show up which was the ENTIRE line-both sides.
It had been awhile since I seen the girls but they were happy to see me. Tyra had embarrassment written all over her and Alycia kept her poker face but I knew she was just as embarrassed.
Everyone took their seats on the tables as me and Devantè stood to the front.
"You know last time we were all like this" he began "We were all talkin about how dope it'll be to become A GAMMA man now look where we are".
The guys all smiled and nodded.
"Each one of you mean a lot to me" he spoke "Especially my man K and Dal over there". I inhaled as Devantè went deeper into his speech.
"I shared some crazy moments with ya'll and now..." he placed his arm around my waist "I'm ready to make some new ones with this girl right here".
"So watchu saying man" spoke Smoke "You leaving the frat?". Devantè dropped his head as he slowly nodded.
"Yeah I am" he simply answered "You see while I was going around talking about how I didn't care too much about love.
I was playing myself acting like I didn't want that shit
....but SHE was never shy about what she wanted, and needed". He looked at me as I gave him an emotional sigh.
"She fell in love" he announced "And so have I...I'm truly in love with my Gamma Baby and I want everybody to know it"
Everyone was lost for words except Tià, Dalvin and K. They gave looks of approval while the rest were still unsure. It was now my turn to say a couple of words.
"Um I didn't make a speech like De over here" I started "My ass just flew out the doe". Everyone chuckled.
"I understand if most of you are upset with me. I had absolutely no business joining Gamma Phi knowing it would end this way. I was selfish and was being A BRAT
I was on a mission and that mission failed but not entirely". I looked up at De he rubbed my shoulder.
"I want to apologize to you guys because I wasn't being fair" I looked at the girls "But I meant what I said about wanting this to be a sisterhood that's why I went as hard as I did". I looked to K who gave me a sympathetic smile.
"Thank you K. For your time. Your patience. Your kindness and understanding" I teared "It's no secret how much I care about you".
K's face grew glossy as he fought hard not to tear. He discreetly mouth I Love You with a wink. He couldn't say what he wanted outloud but we knew what it was.
"I didn't mean-" I bounced a little to calm down wiping my eyes "I didn't mean to-". Tia stood up walking over whispering it was okay as she hugged me. De wiped my tears with his thumb
Dalvin instantly shot up as he reached out for me as well bringing me into a tight hug.
"Love you Dada" he whispered. He kissed my cheek-.
"I love you too Dalvin" I said back letting the tears fall knowing I had his support
He walked over to De, who held his brother tightly as tears began to pour from his face.
"I'm proud of you man".
Dalvin and Tià stood beside us as we all waited for a verdict.
One by one the guys slowly came up as they gave Devantè a loving brotherly hug saying the same thing.
They knew deep down inside De wanted love but he was just putting on a front and concealed it by joining the the fraternity
Some of the girls stood up embracing me as well with the exception of the other two. Even though we all had a crazy start in the beginning they were all like my sisters.
"Man you look soft as hell boy" Static wiped De's red face "Can't have you going out like this man". We all choke up a laugh breaking the emotional cycle.
K was the last to come up walking over to us.
The two slapped hands as they shared an emotional embrace holding each other for a minute. No words were spoken but the love they had for one another was all there in that hug. It truly made my heart swell up.
He walked over to me and held me tighter.
"You take care of my boy aight" he whispered "He deserves you". I cried more into his shoulder
"I will. I promise" I cradled into his shoulder. K took a step back wiping my tears again as he kissed my forehead.
"Alright enough of this emotional shit" he said wiping his own face "We gonna send my boy and his girl out in style.
I hope you muthafuckas are ready to throw down Saturday night because we about to go ham".
Everyone cheered giving each other daps and high fives while me and De hugged each other being surrounded by our people...much rather our TMS gang.
🌔🌖
K's word was his bond. Our boy did not disappoint...
All of TMS was at Luke's. The old heads assumed we were celebrating something that had to do with school but as a secret society, we were turning up, bringing an end to a new beginning.
I was really going miss them and all the times we shared but that didn't mean we'd all stop hanging out.
They were always welcome to come to my dorm if they needed ideas or just to vent. I was gonna be there for my sisters regardless and De would continue to be there for his brothers.
I joined my boys in a dance being sandwiched in the middle holding hands with the both of them. K was my heart with De being my soulmate.
I stopped caring about how everyone else felt about it and so did they.
Our bond was too strong for anyone to break so whoever had a problem with it....well they could go suck sum. My guys wanted nothing more than to see me happy and they were doing just that.
Dalvin and Tia grooved beside us singing. They eventually went their separate ways but remained close no hard feelings as it should've been.
Tyra found me earlier and apologized for her behavior wishing me and Devante the best.
It was never her intention to be my enemy but I understood where she was coming from giving her a hug.
Alycia didn't apologize but she gave me my respect with a smirk, I didn't expect one but as long as she stayed in her lane and I did the same we could stay mutual and be formal to one another.
The song broke it down as every one shimmy'd to the ground and laughed bringing it back up.
The Midnight Society was definitely one for the books and if I had the privileged of telling anyone about it, I wouldn't know where to begin but I would advise them to proceed with caution.
Don't do what I did...There were two kinds of people: People like K and Katià
And there were people like Me and Devantè.
I'd so happened to be there at the right time when it was needed. I thought I was saving K when in all honesty, I saved De instead
We both saved Devantè and now he was free to love and he chose to love me.
🌖🌔
K-Ci made an exception to let us into the Mansion but we both declined.
We didn't need the Gamma leader getting himself into anymore trouble for the sake of us.
Yes, we were his hearts but I learned that favortistm could only go so far in this society. We kept our line names tho and would hang with them at Waffle House but everything else...was only of their eyes and ears.
Devantè and I decided to hang by the creek as I laid between his legs watching the water reflect the moonlight. I started chuckling.
"Watchu laughing about?" he held me tighter.
"De you really can't hold water for shit" I laughed out "How you gonna tell K about my missed period". Devante kissed his teeth.
"I couldn't help it man. I was nervous and excited all in one" he explained "K had that shit in the bag when his ex was pregnant. I didn't know who else to talk to about it". I looked up at him.
"I understand De" I smiled "I wasn't mad or anything. I just didn't know how he'd react".
"I did" he smirked "That's why I told him. It's crazy how we made that shit work".
"From the beginning" I added "You think he knew we were falling for one another". Devantè let out a long sigh placing his cheek into my forehead.
"I honestly don't know Dada" he smirked "I think the nigha set us up".
"AND YOU PROBABLY RIGHT..." a voice called out.
The two of us looked back and smiled watching KCi coming down to join us.
"I wasn't gonna stay long seeing you two all cozy and shit" he teased "I was just checking to see if ya'll good".
"We good K" I smiled "Are you good?". De peered up at his best friend tucking his lips in. He nodded placing his hands inside his jacket looking out into the water.
"Yeah...for the most part" he chuckled.
"So you knew this whole time that me and De were falling for each other?" I resurfaced back to the question at hand.
He smirked before he answered.
"Yeah I seen it" he admitted "I mean I knew you and me were feeling each other but I never knew you loved me.
I guess I was doing all of us a favor you know...you'd have De and I go back to how I was".
We could see the sadness in his eyes.
"Aye man I know how hard it must've been for you to do watchu did" De spoke "And I want you to know I appreciate you".
"I do too K" I agreed "That's why we both decided". K looked over to us.
"...If you ever. You know wanna try the whole..." I tilted my hand "Triangle thing again. We're more than happy to have you". A smile crept on K's face.
He thought since the two of us got together, he'd be out the loop but he was the glue that bonded the two of us. It was because of him that we were together like we were.
"I'll give it some thought" he said. I held my hand out reaching for his as he took it with ease.
K placed himself in between my legs as I held him while De held onto me...We all grew silent watching the stillness of the water thinking how crazy Senior year would be.
We knew one thing for sure. The three of us had each other....for Life.
THE MUTHAFUCKIN END

Author's Concept.
Okay lemme just start off by saying that as an inspiring author, It is my mission to have my readers in their feelings and reading some of you all's comments, I knew I had done my job
When I read my first Poly relationship book, I wasn't feeling the concept either but the author had written it so beautifully I couldn't help but continue reading. I wanted to put my skills to the test and try it out for myself. I mentally had to push through the fact that most of you were not feeling K even though he was really sweet in this book. I wanted my readers to understand that the main character Dada started off the wrong way.
She selfishly put herself into a situation as a way of trying to get K out of fraternity but in the end she realized what she had done was wrong. I'm not saying K didn't have his faults in it as well, but you have to understand he's use to giving Dada her way whereas Devante did not, They balanced her out perfectly.
I wanted Devante to be a supporting character who eventually turned main character because well it's HIS book. He was gonna get the girl but he had to play the side nigha role in the beginning. If I caused any of you's feelings to be shot well it just meant I exceuted this book better than expected. I too had to learn that my readers have their own opinions and it is not my place to change your outlook of the story.
If you felt as though Devante should've been with Dada entirely than that's just the way you felt but that would limit the lengths I was able to go with this storyline. Trust me, there will be plenty of other storylines were De will single headedly have his love interest but this one, he didn't.
Thank you to those who stuck it out and kept an open mind like I had asked, I know it wasn't easy lol but I appreciate you anyway. I hope you all enjoy this one as much I enjoy writing it and Iook forward to other De stories coming your way.
Peace out.
