Funny. As. Hell!!! Homey put the smackdown on homegirl!! Ha!

Well, I'm not ready to give up on Zeke just yet. We still have aways to go. This was stupid, and I think he knows it and that he was taken advantage of. I think his frame of mind going forward is to expect the unexpected. He now knows Willoughby will try anything, use anything, to have his way with him, first hand. Couple that with what all three of his parents have been telling him most of his life should give him a fairly realistic picture of the truth of Willoughby. At least as he stands right now. 

He also needs this time to center himself and remember why he's there with Willougby in the first place. And he's there simply to get to know him and be a positve influence...if he can. That's not a given. Remind his grandfather of this. As someone said, set some boundaries with him. Tell him to seriously cut it out now. Part of the problem is that Zeke has been on Willoughby's turf and that has given him the advantage. He's been too busy on defense and that has left him vulnerable to attack. Flip the script. Get on offense.

Ask Frank where a church that's like (or close to like) his is and tell the old man that while he's still there, its mandatory that he go with him every Sunday. That will help Zeke stay the course as well. Show Willoughby what his interests are, not just do or go where Willoughby wants all the time. Take him bowling, to the movies, go out for pizza; anything he likes to do at home. Ask him about his father, ask him about his grandmother and the rest of that side of the family. Ask him about himself growing up. Zeke can cover some good ground here. And its something Willoughby isn't used to. Having to cut the crap and just be a regular person doing regular things.

Next, he needs to tell his girlfriend what's been happening here. You battle Willoughby with honesty and truth. Secrets, lies, and intimidation is where Willoughby lives, so Zeke'll never beat him there. It's imperative they keep the lines of communication open.

And might Dee remind Zeke that she's been totally down and pushing for the sex this whole time and he's the one who refused! His blue balls is his own fault on that score! However, remembering why he refused might help clear his head with all the fast girls and porn his grandfather is throwing his way. Which was Dee is the one for him and he could wait for her to realize that.

Willoughby sent that boy home tighter than a damn drum waiting to explode! His stupid friend didn't help the matter. I hope Zeke now knows he was full of crap with his extremely poor advice. 

And I'm going to give both of them more credit than to fall for what Willoughby has in mind. 

Whew!

Damn good stuff!!!

Well, damn! Zeke is sexy as hell with his absolute confidence and resolve in himself and his faith! And not in an arrogant way at all. He comes at you with simple honesty and truth; and you can be confident in the truth because the truth sets you free! That's exactly how he acts, free...lol! There's really no guile in him! Willoughby can't handle this type of person. He was taught to be his own man, know his own mind, and that money can't buy or give you everything. So Willoughby had nothing to use against someone who can't be bought. I'm loving Zeke! He's kinda different.

LaDonna....Zeke is right, she needs to work on her issues. Right now she seems weak and unsure of herself. It wouls seem Zeke would need someone stronger than this at his side. That can get old, quick. And she's projecting her insecurities on to him. That needs to stop. Again, old...quick. Zeke's right to give her time to sort herself out. I think he wants her all in or all out.

Nice!!

Willouhby and those two little skanks were totally digusting!

Good for Zeke! Always thinking....

Dee is really going to have to believe some things in life. First, Zeke is NOT the end all be all. Second, she's good enough...period. If Zeke left tomorrow, she'd be ok in the end. She has to know that inside herself. And really, she has no business giving any other human being that kind of power over her. Zeke can't believe that for her, and its not his job to do so. That can get tiresome after a while. Dee needs to woman up already! Be as bold about herself as she is about wanting the sex.

Glad you're back!!

Good stuff!

Ok, first, whats up with homegirl BFF Natasha? Even if they diasgreed, why would she react like that? Take a break? And then basically said you're on your own if trouble starts? Just becasue she's crushing on the school bad boy and Callie didn't like him? Something aint right with that picture. Throwing some shade her way for that move!

Now Callie, while Darren has done nothing but add to his rep, she should have kept it together in public better than that. Big ears were all around them. However, she gets props for standing by the sh*t she talked though! And to be fair to her, it was just to her girl. Its not like she was on blast throughout the school with it, or had ever been. But, let that be a lesson; don't ever write a check with your mouth your ass can't cash!

And Darren just basically said he was going to beat up a girl and knock her teeth out so I don't know what there is we are eventually going to like about him. Hmmm...

I like it.

This story seems familiar? Keep going, I'd like to see where it goes.

OK, T, you know how much I love this story! My heart was broken when you took it down, so please don't toy with my emotions here...lol! We are going all the way to the finish line, right?

And here it goes with the Jennifer mess!

Was that our boy in the woods? And why would he drag and scare her like that.

I so love this chapter.

I'm glad Caleb is being clear in his position of being there for Ava-Rain. She needs that more than anything else right now.

Yes! Definitely liking this new version of Ava-Rain! No hysterics, but her reaction was measured, confident and reasonable.

Is it wrong that I really want them to tear up the sheets now...lol?!

Good stuff!!
