"we fell in love the way you fall in leaves." Juwan "Rocky" Rockwell has had a pretty hard life. Between trying to find a way to fend for himself and dealing with the normal hardships of teenage angst, he had nowhere to turn as an adolescent and no time for anything other than taking care of himself. Having been set on survival rather than love itself, Juwan, now twenty-four years old, is ready for a change. He just hasn't realized it yet. Quinn Campbell, a woman accustomed to the moderately luxurious lifestyle that her parents immersed her in, has been passive all of her life. Having been torn between parents who are both demanding and have been divorced since she was nine years old, trying to find her way in the world as an adult has proven to be challenging especially since her overbearing parents have been making decisions for her since birth. One morning, on a whim, she finally decides that it's time to take control of her life. The first step is finding a change in scenery. Who ever would've thought that the second step would be becoming smitten with a man who claimed to never have had a heart? [based on "falling in leaves" from my book of one shots.]

What happens when a well-known drug dealer, who's never been told 'No', moves into a quiet suburb outside of Chicago, Illinois? What happens when a 21-year old Y/n crossed paths and rubs him the wrong way? He makes it his personal mission to shake her world up. He didn't expect what was to come and neither did she. "I said set it off on my left, set it off on my right. I said liquor all in my breath, bitches all in my sight I said real niggas trying to fuck, fuck niggas wanna fight I said gun shots into the air, but I ain't scared for my life." - J. Cole -"You better leave that nigga alone. He gon' break your heart. I'm tellin' you what I know." -"That's some adventurous shit. I need me a hood dude, best friend." -"Ha! He loves ME? Nah, he love what I do for him. I'm tired, DC. I'm through." -"You think I'm trouble, huh? I'm bad for you? Bet. MAKE me leave you alone then...I dare you." © SenseiOnTheBlock June 2017
