"You so damn soft." Javi said in a whisper, ignoring Isis's protest as his hands reached closer to her honey pot. She grabbed ahold of his tattooed wrist, stopping him. "We can't." She professed. "You and I both know that nigga don't make you scream like I do, ma." He cockily replied, gripping her ass with both hands and pressing her on his hardness... "Weren't not discussing this." She voiced, just above a whisper. If they were supposed to be working on a friendship, this was not a conversation friends had with each other nor how they were supposed to act. "We just talking ma, stop running." Javi insisted, playing coy. "I'm not. This just isn't a topic friends talk about." "Friend's don't lie to each other either." Isis groaned. Javi was being a smart ass now. "What do you want me to say?" "The truth." "Whyy? I've already told you what I had to offer." Isis pleaded. "What if I'm not satisfied with that?" He tempted questioningly... After a reconnection with her past, Isis's world is turned upside down. With the lines being blurred between past and present and lies being told at every corner, will true love really be able to conquer all? | A Confessions of a Material Gurl spin-off | Series order I.

ATTENTION: YOU MUST READ FRESHMEN YEAR FIRST! Freshly new nineteen year old, Shai Carter, is back with even more madness. Entering his sophomore year of college, Shai returns with an "I don't care" attitude that surely raises some eyebrows and stirs up unnecessary conflict. Matters become worse when his mother, Allison, tries to find her way back into his life. He didn't know her true intentions for being back or whether she was going to stay around for once. He did know one thing surely, he wasn't going to allow anyone or anything interrupt his ongoing peace of mind. He was staying true to himself, avoiding all drama and bullcrap that people could possibly pull on him. That included the ones he loved. But drama seems to always find him. She didn't think her second year would be like this but it was something. Eighteen year old, Desdemona Young, came back with a fresh new demeanor and confidence. She was claiming this year as hers with no drama. At least, that's what she thought. With the drastically new unpleasant attitudes and people that's been lingering around, Dess wasn't sure if she could handle relationships, school, and her social life all at once. There was one thing she made sure of, life had its ups and downs, but it's up to the person to continue the fight. Would she be willingly to continue when all things fail? Model. Wife. Entrepreneur. Allison Carter-Williams had many talents and skills. But, one that she lacked was being a mother. Missing majority of Shai's life placed a barrier between mother and son that was too hard to piece back together. But with free time this new year, she was using it wisely. Somewhat. With the thoughts of wanting to patch things up with her son, Allison is met with multiple never-ending issues and halts in her mission. She just wanted one thing...a relationship with her child, but that seemed too impossible with secrets and lies she's still holding to. October 18, 2023 - August 22, 2024

"Honestly," He dribbles the ball a couple of times before shooting it up in the air. "I just be chillin." The ball went in with a swoosh. I stand with my arms folded and chuckled to myself. "That's what all the hoes say." I mumble to myself. He tilts his head back while looking me up and down. "What you tryna say." I take a deep breath and watch him walk behind me. "I'm just saying, not all of us could be good on our own like that." He pauses before walking up closer to me making me frown. "Well number one I said that I be chillin. Not that I was alone. Big difference. Second, it's good to be on yo own, it separates you from weak niggas." He placed my hand on top of the ball which was way bigger than my hand. "And you zig when everybody and the mama zagging." He guides my hand up with his hands around mine making the heat go to my face. His lips softly caresses my ear and I felt my insides mesh together. His hands slowly left mine on the ball and traveled to my waist. My knees almost gave out on me and I honestly forgot what we was even talking about. "Feel me?" He whispers even lower. I turned my head to look back on his face and his eyes were already on my lips. And I felt my eyes slowly drift to his.
