"Moveeee Kareem" Skai smiled as he kissed her neck.
The two were leaving their date at this rage room.
"You had fun?" He asked walking beside her to an ice cream shop.
"Yea I did" she told him as he opened the shop door for her.
As they stood on the line Skai dipped off to use the bathroom.
"Hi" Kareem heard a soft voice behind him.
He turned and nodded at the lady. She was probably in her early twenties, she had her hair cut extremely low and dyed blonde.
"You fine" she told him.
He nodded "Preciate it"
"I'm not fine to you?" She asked, disappointed that he wasn't returning her energy. "I'm bald head by choice" she made sure to tell him.
Kareem scrunched up his face because he didn't even say anything about her hair. "I ain- look shawty I know you saw that girl cuddled up to my side a few minutes ago, you not ugly but I'm not interested"
She huffed and got on her phone. Shortly after Skai came back and he pulled her into him.
Once they got their ice cream they walked back to his car.
"Can I have some of yours?" She asked as they got situated.
Kareem mugged her "Shawt you got the same flavor"
"Yours look better, Kareem just gimme a little" she smiled as he held the cone out to her.
"Taste different?" He asked causing her to laugh and shake her head no.
Once they finished the ice cream, Kareem sped off.
"What you thinking bout?" He noticed her quietly staring out the window.
She shrugged "Ion know, I think I wanna focus on photography more and cut back on school"
"Ight, so like take fewer classes or unenroll all together?" He asked.

"Taking fewer classes I think, I don't know. It's so many people wanting to book me for so much stuff. You know I got someone tryna fly me out to Greece to take their wedding photos?"
He nodded "Obviously you doing well wit ya business so if you feel like cutting back on classes is gon help it grow more then do that"
"Okay imma talk to my advisor and see about dropping some classes" she smiled.
"You know I'm witchu on whatever" Kareem told her.
That caused her to turn back to the window as her smile widened.
"Nah don't hide lemme see" he smiled as he turned her chin towards him. "You don't got no face paint on?"
Skai laughed "No I didn't feel like putting any on today"
"I mean you beautiful either way but without the paint it hit different" he told her.
"I'll keep that in mind" she smiled. "Bae turn this uppppp"
"Mmmmhmmmmm I must have rehearsed my linessss a thousand times before I had them memorized. But when I get up the nerve to tell you the words just never seem to come out right" Skai sang.
Kareem pulled out his phone and recorded her "See you do tooo much Kareem" she laughed after he finished recording.
Soon they pulled up to a house causing Skai to scrunch up her face due to its condition.
Kareem laughed as he helped her out the car.
"Imma remodel all this, then turn it into a duplex. It's gon get rented out or you can sell it" he explained to her.
"Why would I decide if it gets sold?"
He pulled out a folder and some papers that all had her name on it.
"It's yours mamas" he told her.
She cheesed and hugged him "This is actually so nice, thank you"

Skai really appreciated that he took the time to do something that could forever put money in her pockets.
After he finished showing her around, they headed back to his house.
"Lemme use my pin, I don't ever do it" Skai said as they got on the elevator.
He nodded and stepped back to let her do it.
Once they got inside she pulled him into a hug and kissed his lips a few times.
"I really appreciate you Kareem" she smiled as they rocked back and forth.
"I told you I got you, so what you gon do?"
"Mmm rent it out" she told him.
"I love you so much" she said as they headed to the room.
"Ouuuu shawty love me" he smiled.

There Are Superheroes In This Story
There's a side to superheroes they don't tell you, a side that in retrospect was too obvious to miss. Join Lyssa Unas, a girl with a seemingly weak power, as she searches, fights, and dissociates her way to a life where she could at least pretend to live in peace. But in a world full of capes, villains, and everything in between, that future may prove improbable. There are superheroes in this story, but this is not a superhero story. Cover credit: agnes-cecile
8 267Black Market Merchant

8 354A loose thread
The goddess picked him up. He tried to struggle free, but her grip only tightened. Eventually her thumb caught his head, pulling it backwards. He stared helplessly as she brought her free hand closer, revealing a small vial in her massive hand. She pressed it to his lips, and he felt the contents flow into him. He tried not to drink it, but his body would not listen. Despite his revulsion, his body ignored him by drinking deeply. "Drink and forget. I will give you everything you ever wanted. A loving family. A comfortable home. And then, " Her grip tightened, and forcing the air out his lungs. He coughed up the strange liquid and caused more to spill. “And then, you will pay for your defiance. On your twentieth birthday you will remember.” She pulled the vial away and turned him to look at her. “You will remember, just as everything you love is taken from you, right before your eyes…” Her voice trailed off and his world went dark. .... The above leads right into the story. The first chapter is a bit rough as the MC (a child at the time), hurts himself rather badly. I will try to include similar warnings on chapters as the story goes on, but I want to be up front that I may miss or forget things. Many of the tags are included so I can have flexibility writing the story. I am posting this largely to hold myself accountable to keep writing. Chapters will be short, but I am planning to post weekly. This is the first thing I have written (you've been warned). I am enjoying the story and I hope you will too. Please feel free to let me know what you think of the story as it progresses.
