Devil's Persistence

By
You're so eager and green.
You grin from ear to ear as your eyes pierce through mine.
You're excitement nearly impossible to contain.
You're child like glee takes ahold of the block of ice resting where my heart once used to be.
But only for a moment and then it okay. Only for a second. Did you catch hold of my attention
A slight smile barely engraved in my face until I realize I'm staring at a demon
Deep within your gaze, lies the spirit of the devil...
Patiently waiting for that window of vulnerability to open itself.
He wants to enter inside...he'll make it seem that it's to nurture and to grow when the truth is he simply wants to destroy you
With a monster thirsty for flesh resting within his britches, he intends to slay you.
He finds satisfaction in the woman too blinded by the phallus to realize when she's under attack.
He walks in appearing like royalty but I've never been attracted to the flash
Draped in jewels that glitter, with a smile that could placed in the sky when the sun expires 
He moves close enough that the scent of cologne and Hennessy fills your nose
Every woman in the room stops to share their admiration for you and disgust towards me
They can sense my lack of desire and they hate me for it
Fully aware of his surroundings, the devil knows everything that takes place around him
Gazes locked on me as her circles around, searching for an opening
But I refuse...unlike the ghosts of lovers past, I refuse...
Unlike spirits of those to come, I will not accept

Me and Mr. Hollywood - Chapter 7

By
I get back out to the bar to Bella, Cherry, and Toya who are all completely drunk at this point, but still holding it all together pretty well. They were dancing to a reggae/dancehall/reggaeton mix being spun effortlessly by the house DJ. The club was one of the few night spots I had been to in NYC with a DJ who was black and a woman. Most of the staff inside Bella's club were black women so I felt a lot less guilty about all the money I ended up spending in the club. "Bout damn time ma. SHIT!" Bella exclaimed as I made my way closer to where she was standing. "I thought I was gonna have to come back in that bitch and drag yo ass out," she joked as she elbowed me in my side. I managed a slight smile across my face. but it was far from convincing. I didn't want the girls thinking something was wrong while were supposed to be partying. I really hated for people to worry themselves about me or make a big fuss out of a personal situation. I realized immediatel...

Me and Mr. Hollywood - Chapter 3

By
Chapter 3 I laid there on the massage table for a while. My bottom jaw had dropped and I was stuck in shock. My mind was racing with thoughts. Who was this girl? How the fuck did she get in here? What the fuck did I just get myself into? Did that really just happen? Ten minutes or so had passed before I gathered my thoughts and then just like that I was fine. Of course, I wasn't okay with the situation, but something came over me while I was sitting there on that table. I'm not too sure exactly what "it" was, but it was like a numbness. I went from being on the verge of tears to being dangerously calm. I dressed quickly and then headed to the door. I paused as I reached out for the knob, taking a moment to prepare for whatever was to come once I stepped outside of that room. Once I got in the hallway I could hear Donovan and his mystery woman attempting to have a hushed argument. I didn't want them to hear me coming so I crept down the hallway as quietly as I ...
