Ahh, the good ole boys…don’t you just wanna kill ‘em?  If not literally, at least erase their antiquated and very delusional beliefs of grandeur. Urgh, it’s so annoying.   Anyhoo, Grace reminds me of another person I know [moi] who simply cannot keep her mouth shut when there’s injustice and stupidity involved.  Something tells me her vocal frustrations will be a health hazard if she’s not careful.

I like the plot, the opening cast is befitting of their character, especially Holland.  Jerks like him often mask their true…coveted indulgences of the ‘Grace’ persuasion. But Dorothy-Mae (I love Kathy Bates) is a spitfire that makes the negatives more tolerable with wisdom and understanding.

What’s wrong with her mom?  Are her parents divorced?  (Love your casting choices there as well)

You know…I’m sitting here wondering why DeLeon didn’t take Kendra to the mall himself.  He’s so protective of her –hell, he practically carries her everywhere she goes so why all of a sudden he’s going to work? Hmmm, you know what I think? I think he was giving her an out…maybe…or possibly scared that she’d want to leave him, return to her life once her phone was repaired and he was afraid he’d never let her go. DeLeon knows her memory is back, and he loves her enough to do the right thing. But there she is, literally running back into his open arms! Oh man, I love it!  Even if I’m WAY off base, she still came back to him and that’s all that matters.

It’s obvious she doesn’t want Chaz, Chad, Chump, whatever the hell his name is. He’s a fool for cheating on Kendra. Did she know of his whoring activities? I’m sure she does. If this was supposed to be a romantic weekend then why didn’t Kendra have sexy underwear or lingerie in her luggage?  She was pissed that she didn’t pack anything enticing when she and DeLeon first made love so that little snippet right there gave me pause as well.

I dunno, it’s late and I’m over-thinking things (as usual) but I love reading stories that makes ya go hmmmm, that’s interesting. Your story is no exception.

I'm glad Dax and Tabitha 'protected' her. DeLeon is going to be pissed though. 

My fav scene was of Kendra schooling the kid as he played a game. That was cute.

As always, fantastic writing I.T.

"But that had to be, what? Thirteen years ago?" DeLeon nodded. "This looks fresh."

"Cuz it is. I keep it this way." Kendra blinked at him, her throat suddenly closing as her eyes began to sting. "When we first did it, Dax useta love just comin' out here to hang out, git away from Pa an' his grief. Hell, from our grief. It was the first real memory we'd made since our folks'd died an' he loved it for just that reason." He shrugged casually. "So we'd make a night of it. Bring out some blankets and lamp and some food and just . . . hang out. 'Til dawn and chores and life an' shit came crashin' back." He cleared his throat, his eyes returning to her. "He eventually forgot about it, forgot 'bout his grief, an' moved on." He swallowed. "But I didn't. Couldn't. So I still come here. Li'l less of'en, but of'en enough. Brings me a sense of peace, 'specially when the moon's like this." They both looked up at that moment, the tears Kendra had been fighting sliding freely down the sides of her face.

OMG! I just fell in love with DeLeon myself!!

Seriously!

All I wanna do is hug him.

I don’t care what life she had before DeLeon, he’s her life now!  And she is for damn sure his.  She can’t leave that man now!!!  If she did, it would surely do him in.

I know all good things must come to an end, but I just want a little more ‘happy’ with Kendra and DeLeon. Right now, they’re in this bubble – just the two of them loving each other and it’s like at any moment, some force will threaten a relationship that was meant to be. And then you find yourself holding your breath, desperately willing all reality, all ugliness to never appear.

Okay, I'm getting sappy now but gurl, I'm hooked!

FABulous writing as always.

BTW, Amy is the coolest!  Luv her!!!

I have missed this story something fierce! It's been long overdue. You've jumped right back in the saddle and made me fall in love with the Halperns (Kenny included) all over again.  Pa is just the best guy who doesn't seem like he's over eighty at all. (For some reason, i envision still-fine-as-hell James Brolin as Pa.)

Dax and Tabbie really seem to be on track again but I think there will always be a special place in his heart for Kendra.  Can't wait to see what baby Dax looks like.

Prince.

I still have reservations about his relationship with, and feelings for, Kendra. They're good questions though, make no mistake about it…I think Prince is a positive in Kendra’s life; I'm just not quite sure how they define their friendship.

Ahh, save the best for last…

DeLeon and Kendra.

How can two people become one in less than a week (I guessing at the timeframe) and it totally not be weird or fake? It’s as if they’ve been a couple for a lifetime. The answer is simple: they were simply made for each other; they’re perfectly matched in every way. Loved the dinner Kendra cooked. Who knew baby-girl could burn.  See…that right there just proves she and DeLeon belong together…they both can cook!  LOL

This ain't sounding good at all, sounds like the end of the road for DeLeon and Kenny, and I'm heartbroken but at the same time, elated as hell that you've updated!

Like Kendra...I'm all cried out. I just knew they were with child. They're killing me i tell ya! But still doing the update happy dance! yippeee

eeeeeeeeeee, doing the HAPPY DANCE! oh yeah, ah huh, show-me-what-u-workin-wit!  LOL  You updated! woo hoo! 

So Prince is in love with Kendra. Wow!  How awful is that to be pining over someone who'll only see you as a friend?  I felt bad for him in this chapter -- but not too bad! hahaha 'cuz my couple is back on track again.

Speaking of which, I hope nothing's seriously wrong with Crazy Ass.  DeLeon wouldn't be able to handle it if it was.  I'm thinking something wonderful's wrong with Miss Kenny but time will tell...soon I hope!

So very HAPPY that you're posting again!  You have been missed gurl, sumthin' terrible!  I've been silently stalking you Miss Lady!  I don't wanna get a charge so please don't lay-low again, ok? xoxoxoxo

Looking forward to the next chappy! 

Charlene eyes widened as Ryan wrapped his hand possessively around her wrist. "Don't worry, this won't take long." Before she could utter a word of protest, he was already leading her away.

"Ryan?" Wes called as they passed him in the hall. "Where you goin' bro?"

Ryan tossed the words over his shoulder, but kept walking. "To see if I got somethin' to lose."

~~~~~

Ryan is da man! Freakin’ LOVED that! The walls were closing in on Charlene and Ryan had to ‘go for it’ unknowingly rescuing her at the same time.

I’ve read this chapter three times and have yet to tire of it.  I'm very excited to see what happens next.

Great job!

i'm so glad she told him!  Charlie and Ryan can't let that biotch win!!!  Ryan's presence at her grandmother's house was totally unexpected, I didn't see that happening at all.  Loved Charlene's shocked 'expression' when she saw his face!  (loved the nod to Y&R!)

Love Nana!  She's been around the block a-time-or-two..., she knows the deal...Charlene isn't fooling anybody. lol  I'm curious as to what Nana will think, or more importantly, what she will say. Will she give them her blessings? Maybe, maybe not.  I hope she does.

Puhleeze tell me Wes doesn't have eyes for a certain racist slut!? Say it isn't so! A two-dollar-ho would be a step-up from that skank!  haha

Thank you for the update; i enjoy reading about these characters.  The story is a feel-good read, even though it's dealing with racial phobias and difficult situations...it still offers a certain humbleness, a genuine realness among the main cast [Charlene and Ryan] that captures my interest and keeps me coming back for more.

Erin deserves to be cussed out; after all, she's worked so hard to receive it hasn't she? Not only has she sidetracked a relationship that could have been in a two-point-five-kids-and-a-dog status by now, she's still trying to insert herself into the life of a man that was taken before he even grew a mustache! I'm quite certain that Nina has no idea of Erin's deception, so, i'm quite certain Nina will have some choice words for her lying, manipulative, trifling ass! [Whatever happened to Erin's kid? Did she have it, give it up for adoption, or did she decide to keep it or does George have his child?]

Now that everything's clear, all the cards laid out or will be...what's next for our couple?  Where do they go from here?  Maybe, possibly, this is their time to

I'm glad you're writing mojo is back and hopefully it will continue to crank-out regular updates.

She looked up at him. "No." He sucked his teeth and turned away as she giggled. She hopped up from the couch and followed him into the kitchen, watching his naked backside flex with each step. She bit the corner of her bottom lip, her core wetting and pulsing almost painfully. She was pretty sure there was no way she'd be able to have sex again, not so soon, but Simon was making it difficult to focus on the health of her coochie while looking like that. And so effortlessly. She stopped in the middle of the kitchen and crossed her weakened legs, moaning to herself and letting her eyes close. By the time she opened them, Simon was stalking towards her, his dick bobbing as it hardened with each step.

"Yeah, pepperoni, mushroom, large, Sprite," he groaned, his voice hoarse, eyes set on ripping his button-down off of her. He grunted their address and promptly hung up, his arm wrapping around her waist in the next second. He pulled her against him, his head dipping to kiss her hard.

~~ 

OOOHHH LA LA!!!! SIMON IS DA MAN!!  OMG! That's my fav scene.  I know Molli's kicking herself for letting that man almost slip through her fingers.  But their time is now, not then.  They've shared a life for ten years...now it’s time to share their love.

I freakin' LOVE Aunt Mae and Cooper.  They are the finishing touches to these wonderful characters, this enchanting story actually.  I don't know what's going with them, I'm not even going to guess (well, that's not exactly true. I've been racking my brain trying to figure out what could possibly be up with Cooper but I'll just have to be pleasantly surprised *wink wink*).  I just hope everything works out for the best.

Loved the update lady! Keep 'em coming. :)

"Bitch, what'chou thinkin'!"

Moliere hopped three feet in the air and pirouetted until she was facing the barrel of a .45 nickle-plated handgun.

"Aunt Mae!" Moliere yelped. "Jesus, put Fluffy away!"

"Fluffy was about to blow yo' ass away!"

~~

ROFLMAO!!!  Fluffy?!!  BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Awesome chapter!
