Her Ken That Never Was

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.

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.
