"From the start I know I should have told ya, and now you know, girl." He pushed the loose curls back to see her clearly, she looked up at her through the wet lashes a small sigh leaving her lips. "You're asking me to sacrifice my relationship with my family. Are we on borrowed time or are you just someone I made up in my head ?" He laid his forehead against hers, running his thumb over the wet tear. "I'm here wit' you. Every step of the way it's real love and I thank you for that." He kissed her lips, her body immediately falling into his as she melted into the kiss.

Damn, college really is the best part of yo life. Especially at an HBCU.

Heart's Desire (Noun) : Refers to the deepest, most personal longings or wishes that come from your emotional core-not just what you want, but what you truly yearn for. These desires often reflect your truest self-your passions, dreams, needs for love, purpose, connection, or fulfillment. They're called "heart's" desires because they're emotional and instinctive, not always logical or practical. They can be difficult to explain, but you feel them deeply. "I feel like for some crazy ass reason, I got this connection with you. I wonder about ya safety when I'm not around and even if you never give a nigga the time of day... I just want you to be happy. I don't even know why.. I'm attracted to you like crazy ma." "You make me feel this way that I've never really felt before and I'm just too scared to go for the ride. Everything I ever said I wanted in a man, you have. Your attitude, your mindset, your maturity-." They weren't looking for each other, but something deeper-unspoken and undeniable-pulled them in. Follow along as two souls shaped by pain, survival, and pride, try to navigate a bond that feels bigger than either of them. It's passionate, intense, captivating, and at times overwhelming. Their connection isn't just attraction-it's a collision of heart's desires that neither expected, but both need. ( MATURE CONTENT ) COMPLETED
