"Amina, I've watched you. Eversince your father first let you walk your tiny little feet through my door, I've sworn to protect you, teach you, and love you. When both of your parents died, you were back on my doorstep with your suitcase in one hand and black barbie doll in the other, from then on I was the one that raised you, fed you, and taught you things, along with the many women I was messing with at the time, that a woman should be anything she wants nobody should tell her otherwise. Since then I've watched you grow--blossom into the adult that you are. Since you were a little girl I've loved you like you were one of mine, but once I seen how...womanly you were becoming and how big you were getting, I've noticed that I wasn't loving you like a godfather would love his goddaughter. When I saw you in that outfit, hanging out with your other senior friends, I noticed that you were changing and I couldn't call on how I really felt about it. But, with much observing and much pondering, I know that I don't love you like a godfather should."

"What do you love me as, then?"

"As a grown man who loves a grown woman."

Terence Trent, Prince's best friend, has a baby girl in which Prince is made the godfather of. When the girl is only 4 years of age, her parents die in a fatal car accident, she turns to her godfather and he welcomes her with the warmest embrace. Over the years, she's lived a stable life with her godfather making a 4.8 GPA, doing ballet, and filling out applications for colleges that she wants to go to. Since then, Prince has taken of her maturity mentally, and of course physically, leaving him to feel things he fells he shouldn't but he does, making him much more difficult to reach on her side as he ponders on his feelings about this little girl who is growing into a woman he's becoming to have taboo feelings for.
