*UNDERGOING EDITING AND SMALL CHANGES RANKED #1 IN #DADSBESTFRIEND TROPE My gaze was fixed on Weston, wanting to look away so he didn't see me but unable to, and so when he whipped his head in my direction, he looked me square in the eyes. I was painfully aware of how I was sitting on Dego's lap, his arm around my waist, mine around his neck. I couldn't move, couldn't breathe, and he didn't either for several time stopping seconds. Then he slowly took a step in my direction, and kept walking until he was standing directly in front of Dego and I. •~•~•~•~•~•~••~~• Two years ago Avery Blackwood's father met and married a demure Sunday school teacher, who, within a matter of months, spent his entire savings and completely wiped out everything he'd done over the years, wrapping up the whole thing by having an affair.

Court-Side Cages: The Black Girl's Guide to Love & Lies by MickeyJaneRodgers

They told us love was a fairytale. They never warned us about the price of the dream. Ruthie believed in the story they sold her-the one where a Black girl with a sheltered upbringing, lost and conflicted in her identity could have it all. The baller husband. The money. The luxury. The status. But beneath the glitz and highlight reels, she learned the truth: love in this world comes with conditions. Now, trapped in a lifestyle of fame, football and broken promises, she watches as the life she thought she knew, the beliefs she thought she had become nothing more than echoes of the past. The girl she used to be? She doesn't exist anymore. But decades later, Ruthie's story doesn't end. Olivia Ruth Reynolds, a young woman in the present day, begins experiencing vivid dreams and emotions connected to Ruthie's life. As Olivia pieces together Ruthie's past, she uncovers a powerful legacy of reincarnation, generational healing, and cultural pride. With themes of colorism, self-worth, and embracing one's heritage, Court-Side Cages: The Black Girl's Guide to Love & Lies explores how the love we inherit, the battles we face, and the dreams we carry shape who we are-and who we will become. A raw, unfiltered look at love, loss, and the myths they sell Black women about happily-ever-after. For fans of drama, heartbreak, and stories that make you question everything. If you've ever loved too hard, lost yourself, or wondered if the dream was even meant for you... this story is for you.
