Character Breakdown
Nashaun- His attitude is live an in living color. All he knows how to do is keep shit trill with whoever is in his life. More than that he is a protector and staunch defender of those he loves even if he has to be sacrificial to ensure they are good. He don't love these hoes and he is content to live alone until he runs up on a woman who matches his fly down to his morals. What do you do when you meet the exact replica of yourself but in a league all her own.
Nina- This lovely being is a spitfire with not a f*ck to give. She doesn't bow down easy nor is she made of porcelain. Standing ten toes down is in her DNA but she does all she can do to avoid the silly love games men play. That is until she meets a man that literally grates on that last nerve but awakens the beast inside of her.
Raheem- The consummate big brother but he needs Nashaun to keep him grounded. He loves his family hard and the streets are all he knows. He has the woman of his dreams rocking and after she gave him his first son he wasn't ever letting go. But sometimes it takes for you to be thrown into the spotlight for you to realize exactly where your deficiencies lie.
Giselle- Being the wifey of street legend is more than nerve wracking. When she signed on for her position she had stars in her eyes and dreams of her man going legit. It is nothing in the world like the anxiety one feels every time your better half leaves out the door and there is no guarantee that they will make it back. Sometimes you have to show a man how much of an asset you are to his team and remind him of just what he stands to lose if he keeps risking his life and neglecting the one he has built.
Story From My Perspective
From the beginning, I knew that I was in for some laughs and tough conversation. Especially dealing with a fool like Nashaun. He is so brash and abrasive but you gotta love all that he stands on especially once you really sees how he loves his family. It is true what they say the Middle child usually has the world on their shoulders. Especially when you are caught between two brothers who are polar opposites. He has to be the one that thinks it out and corrects mistakes especially when you are on a steady climb to success. All he wants is to show his family that he is solid. Never thought about love till he met a woman Named Nina who wasn't impressed with his countenance. He was intrigued to say the least.
Nina best friend Giselle, literally threw her to the wolves when she has to do a favor that places her and Nashaun in each others space.At first glance he is like every other man in the world and she definitely has no time for the arrogance, disrespect or the idiocy connected to a thug. The wall around her heart is built ford tough and he serves as a reminder why she is okay to be alone. That is until she has the opportunity to see deeper inside of the man who where's his gangsta as a mask. That look is enough to show her she would be a remiss to lose out on the one thing that draws her heart in like a siren's song. Now its about making him understand that he doesn't have to carry the world alone when she has shoulders to share the burden.
Giselle, has been trying her hardest to make Raheem see that this street life is just a means to an end. The only certainty is her love for him. She finds out that you can wish for someone to see more but if their focus is off, they will never understand the perspective. Only thing Giselle knows is she is tired of competing with the very thing that has the ability to destroy them. She does not know how long she will be able to hold it down when the risk is too high.
Raheem's only dream is to ensure that his family never knows the struggle. He found the love of his life but he knows she doesn't understand his focus. He is on the cusp of never having to deal with this life again and all he needs is for her to hold it down on the home front while he secures this bag. He knows he does not have much longer to get his affairs in order before he loses his wife.
You put them altogether and you will see the perfect recipe for a story that is gritty but full of goals. The ingenuity of each couple and the things that they face makes you wanna grab your love and hold onto them forever. The concepts and thoughts discussed between these pages are more than relate-able but also lends credence to " He who finds a wife, finds a good thing." You never know the path that love will take you on especially when your heart is still mending from the hurts of the past. These books spoke volumes to my heart and I know they will to yours.
