𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐢𝐥 Zamaira 𝐒𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜. Her followers knew her as @BlackBarbie and the city of Belem is her pink dream house. It's been a year since her previous break up and this year she wants hashtag couple goals for her next Pinterest board. Barbie couldn't just be with anyone though. Barbie could only be with someone that's qualified to be Ken The list for qualifications had two important factors. Appearance. Ken had to fit her aesthetic. Personality. Ken had to be a pushover and an absolute romantic. That's where Cardo comes in. The day Soleil set her eyes on Cardo, she was like a peacock spreading her feathers. She even warped her way into becoming his closest friend. The next step was to have him on his knees. Only one problem. Ricardo only looked like he belonged on her Pinterest board. 𝐑𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐨 𝐓𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐨 Cardo has never been the type of nigga to kiss and blow on a wound. He was the type of man to pour alcohol directly in and dress it. So when Soleil his absolutely spoiled rotten diva of a friend starts showing interest in him, he knew he wasn't the nigga for her. Unfortunately, love has an odd way of slipping through the cracks. A chance to prove he wasn't what she was looking for turned into him realizing that despite her advances and her bratty arrogant personality, the sunshine everyone sees is more than just a pretty face with style. There's only one problem. He proved his point both to her and himself. Soleil wanted a nigga to walk all over. She wanted a nigga to show the world she was being worshiped and bought, an Instagram nigga. Cardo wasn't any of that. His goal wasn't to worship the ground his woman walked on. Cardo's goal was to make the ground safe for his woman to tread. The idea of being walked all over was out of the question.

You were wearing your pink unicorn bodysuit pajamas, and we were downstairs microwaving popcorn. Shit was like a movie-the way it happened, the electricity that shocked me when our hands touched as we reached for the party bowl. It took you by surprise. I grabbed your waist and pulled you into my arms before whispering, 'I love you,' in your ear until it wasn't a whisper anymore." "The second time was a few months later. Our first date. You dressed to impress that day, and I got reckless. I pulled you onto my lap and kissed you. Then, staring into your eyes, I said it again. 'I love you so much. Your smile was so fucking beautiful and genuine.'" "Stop." I cried. "The third time was when we were on the phone. I sent you flowers and a human-sized teddy bear because you said you missed me. I came to Vermont the next day. The moment you ran into my arms, it slipped. 'I missed you too, baby. I love you so fucking much.' You completely froze because, out of all those times, it was the first time I said it in English."

He didn't have a choice about leaving. But that kiss? No explanation needed. That was him letting his actions say what needed to be said.

Ameri didn't think nothing of it. To him, that was Zion being Zion. It was just an "I'ma miss you, lil bro." Never once did it cross his mind that a foundation had been building towards that moment.
