"But... why didn't you tell me?" There was a desperate-sounding crack in his voice when his eyes finally met mine and I knew it was now or never. "I was scared of what you'd say. Getting rid of Cayden was never an option for me, and now that you were gone I knew I'd always have a piece of you that would never stop loving me..." my head dropped as tears began to fall onto my lap. "What? Mina, I never stopped loving you!" He set his coffee down and crouched down in front of me, tilting my chin up so I'd have to look at him. "You could've fooled me," I spat back down at him bitterly. _______ Colson and Amina were neighbors-turned-lovers. The very definition of high school sweethearts. They break up while he's away at college, chasing his NBA career and it leaves Amina heartbroken. Colson has no idea about the secret she's keeping when she leaves and decides she's better off without him. She returns after three years with a huge surprise for Colson who's now a mega basketball star. How will he react? Where do they go from here? Find out in 'Colson'! 🏆- #1: #blackgirlmagic. 9/13/21
