Compton changed everything. In Riverdale, I used to be able to walk outside at night without having to worry about anything happening to me. I could walk outside in broad daylight and wouldn't have to worry about drive-by's. I used to be able to come home and be able to rely on a homemade meal made by mother-and my father sitting on the couch with her. But now, everything's changed. My dad dipped out on me and my mom, my mom and I are struggling to make ends meet, and I'm in these streets. Never would I imagined that myself, Egypt, would be out on the streets selling drugs to support myself. But if it helps me support me and my mother, I'm willing to do whatever it takes. Now I have responsibilities that I would've never expected, and people depend on me more than ever before. © all rights reserved // livythecreator

Aaleyah, 25, had her eyes on Quay, 26, for years, when they finally became face to face at a baby shower. Before the night ended, they weren't face to face but more body to body. From then on, Quay couldn't keep his hands off her. She had her own money, she worked for everything she had and that attracted most men, she what they all had their eyes on. Before Aaleyah could accept his hands on her body and his closet of secrets, she had to accept the fact that he only wanted sex. Like every woman, she desired the possessive boyfriend and Quay was the exact opposite. He didn't care if she went on dates, and everytime she'd ask him why, he'd just reply with "I know who's name you'll be screaming at the end of the night." Aaleyah didn't want to accept that but she couldn't deny the temptation, she was addicted to it. (Temptation Series #5)
