Born in the idyllic coastal town of Portofino, Italy, Jayda Jones always stood out-not just for her melanin-rich skin in a sea of sameness, but for the bond she shared with the enigmatic Potenza brothers, sons of a powerful Mafia patriarch. Giuseppe, her birthday twin and childhood best friend, gave her a sense of belonging. Mednoso, the older brother, kept his distance-but never stopped watching over her. Everything changed on their shared 16th birthday when the Potenzas abruptly moved to New York City, shattering the closeness she had with Giuseppe. Two years later, Jayda's family followed, chasing her brother's soccer dreams-but the silence between the two families remained unbroken. Now 22, Jayda's path crosses with the past she thought she left behind. But after years of distance, buried tension, and unspoken truths-can they rediscover what was lost, or is some history too tangled to rewrite?

"I love you TreyVon I really do" I whispered to him putting my hands on his chest. I felt him squeeze my waist and move one hand under my chin. Moving to kiss me he moved down on the bed, mid kiss he pulled away both of us kinda out of breath from this passionate kiss, "I love you" he returned putting his lips back on mine before he flipped us over on the bed and this romantic shit wasn't a normal thing that occurred regularly in my life. And when it did I just prayed that this man would be the love of my life till the day I'm off this planet and he's what kept the peace and sanity running in my life everyday. ━━ ranks; #1 shortstory #1 teenromance #1 hoodlove #1 thuglife #1 teenlove #1 hood #1 unedited #1 blackpeople #1 thuglove #1 blacklove #1 clingy #2 urbanstory #2 urbanfiction #2 hoodlovestory #2 smutmaybe #4 newadult #4 teenlove #7 enemiestolovers #7 urbanfantasy # 8 highschool
