Never Thought I'd Love a Dope Boy 2


Sol - 2016
    How the hell did Senior know who I was?“Who the fuck is Karrington?” Dreaux asked incredulously. The barrel of his gun was now pointed at me as if he already knew the truth and was waiting on me to lie.My heart dropped into the pit of my stomach and my words got caught in my throat as his question echoed inside of my head relentlessly. Hearing my name, my real name, slip out of Dreaux’s mouth before I could explain everything to him was paralyzing because I wasn't ready for that. The way he looked at me when he said it was even worse.“Keri!” he snapped. His eyes were clouded with anger, as he demanded that I answer him. “Who is Karrington?”“Come on Karrington,” Senior egged on in delight as he saw how much it tore Dreaux up to not know what was going on. Though Senior spilled the tea all over the goddamn place, it was my fault that the shit was hitting the fan because I should have talked to Dreaux sooner. “This is going to be so good. Go ahead, tell him."“I’m so sorry,” I apologized to him, as much as I hated to do this I had a job to do.

In Love With A Brooklyn Thug 2


Nako - 2017
    Her gut begged her to run in the other direction, but the strong hold that love had on her kept her stuck in place. East had truly been heaven-sent, and after the time they spent together, and the memories they made, she couldn’t see life without him. Dealing with a man in the streets was more than what these young girls posted on Instagram… the late nights and early mornings, missed calls, and phone going straight to voicemail. It was more than watching him stow funds away in a board under the floor, and it was beyond bailing him out of jail due to a petty charge. She wasn’t just laying down beside a local dope boy at night. No, those days were behind East. Once he reached higher heights and joined the ranks of the Who’s Who in the streets, the ones closest to him true colors were exposed. Her grandmother used to tell her, before she passed, that new levels brought new devils, and this was back in the eighties when she would tell Nia to watch the ones closest to her. For that very reason, she never hung with many people. Nia kept a tight circle, and even the ones she considered “friends” didn’t know her every move. Nia believed in making moves in silence and allowing success to make the noise for her. She didn’t showboat, flex, boast, brag…none of that; it wasn’t in her to do so. Neither was it in East. He was the same way and of the exact same caliber. They were perfect together and still are, even though he’s fighting for his life... all because his “friend” couldn’t stomach to see him doing better than he..... In Love With A Brooklyn Thug II is the explosive sequel to part I
