Sequel to H I M A Christian Love Story Junie and Jay seemingly have the perfect relationship. What happens when old habits, and friends try to creep through the seams? Follow them along their journey as they do reflecting alone, and together in this thing called courtship. Will they stand the test of time? Or will it all crumble at their feet? - "You wanna start?" Junie asked Jay as she placed herself at his side when they entered into her kitchen. As they waited for the others to file in, Jay found himself smiling fondly at Junie as he watched her put everything in order. When she looked back at him, she paused, a sheepish smile coming over her. "What?" She asked softly as she wrapped her arms around his torso. With a soft, and content sigh Jay placed a kiss on her forehead. "I love you." He murmured as she smiled, her dimples deepening even more.

❛𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒔𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒐𝒇 𝒎𝒆?❜ he asked, voice low like it wasn't meant for nobody but her. 𝒛𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐡 didn't speak, just tilted her head a little and stepped in close. she traced one of the tattoos on his arm, finger light like a whisper...when she finally looked up, slow and lazy, doe eyes glinting beneath her lashes--she kissed the corner of his mouth. once, twice--then pulled back. 𝒐𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐢 smirked. ❛𝒅𝒊𝒅𝒏'𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌 𝒔𝒐.❜ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ She doesn't speak-not out loud, not anymore. Zariah Hart's been quiet since the night she lost everything, and moving to The Palisade at Skyview Apartments was supposed to give her a fresh start. No expectations. No questions. Just peace. But peace gets complicated when a man like Omarion Jordan starts showing up in it. He's nothing like she expected. Tatted, quiet, with eyes that read people better than they speak. A mechanic with a past he doesn't explain-and a presence that says more than his mouth does. He doesn't ask about her silence. She doesn't flinch at his reputation. Somehow, that's enough. What starts as simple glances turns into shared space. What feels like comfort turns to something neither of them planned for. But Atlanta doesn't forget what people try to bury. And sometimes, the loudest truth is the one you never say out loud. 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐃: 𝐉𝐔𝐍𝐄 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓

She paints to escape. The world is too loud, too broken, and too cruel to Black girls like her. Each canvas is where she breathes again. Her studio is sacred. Her past? Locked away behind smears of oil and shades of blue. But one random afternoon at a local art gallery, she meets him-a kind-eyed, calm-voiced man who sees her for who she really is... not just as an artist, but as a woman worth loving. He doesn't flinch at her walls. He paints beside them. Slowly, she lets him in. They fall hard, fast, and tender. What she doesn't know is... He's dying. Stage 4 cancer. He's known for months. But with her, life finally feels worth living again-even if it's slipping through his fingers.

Alicia doesn't understand what Maxine sees in him and Rodney thinks Alicia is stuck-up around him because he didn't finish school, but what happens when the two keep running into one another and soon their first impressions change and their feelings start to develop for one another?
