Title: Chapter 23 - The Trouble with Assuming

I love this story. Her family is just something else, I would go insane if I was Diya. I really want Diya to find another job on the sly, working for her dad has never worked with regards to trying to set her up or keeping her under his thumb by not letting her work at home on some days. I get that she loves her father but she's a grown woman and he's very possesive but the lesbian intervention was funny, frustrating but funny although I'm really surprised Chandi didn't have Diya's back (even a lil bit) during that intervention, seeing as she's the only one in the family that knows about her love for Brandon and didn't seem compltely against it but then again Chandi seems a little sadistic when it comes with messing with Diya. Excited about that lunch, Bran could deff handle himself but her (some) family can be so toxic. This lunch is certainly going to be a true test to their relationship. Can't wait for the next update.



Author's Response:

Yeah, dinner at the De la Roys will be a test and a trial for Diya and Brandon, to say the least.  Chandi was still in her feelings about Diya not sympathizing with her little temper tantrum early that day.  As for Diya finding a new job, that's an idea, but might not be enough to earn her freedom from William's interference.  More on that to come.  Thanks for reading and reviewing, carmen90!

Title: Chapter 22 - The Friend of My Lover Ain't My Friend

Ice packs and IBUPROFEN, that's all I got to say.  But I love how Brandon gets all "My Woman Not yours." At the mention of Mannie. But then again Diya goes all "My Branny not yours" at the mention of Marisol. Got to love these two. And the puppies does Brandon really think they are ready to co-parent puppies? Looking forward to seeing how that plays out. 



Author's Response:

Poor Branny.  He thinks they're ready, but has no idea what fate has in store for them...  Thanks for reading and the reviews ,JovanBleu!

Title: Chapter 23 - The Trouble with Assuming

This was just delicious!! I have to say the fact that they thought she was gay and giving her an intervention had me in stitches. Chandi should be ashamed of herself for getting back at her sister this way all because she wasn't having that shit about her not being able to wear her designer clothes anymore. But Duya really stepped in it now, because Brandon will now have to attend a Sunday dinner with her pack of nutcases a.k.a her family. Looking forward to the next chapter.

Title: Chapter 23 - The Trouble with Assuming

Diya's family is crazy!  Chandi could've had Diya's back a little. Diya couldn't avoid this forever if she wants Brandon to be a part of her life, for the both of them. This seems pretty important to Brandon, and by the way he's reacting, seems up for the challenge  I would think she would give Brandon some fair warning by giving him and idea of what he may be up against based on her families precious antics.  I'm a bit curious about Diya's relationship with her mom. Based of what I'm seeing so far, it seems they really don't have much of a connection outside of her dad.

I can't wait to see how Brandon handles dinner with the De la Roy's. 😈 

Thanks for the update! 😄💖



Author's Response:

Brandon will receive some form of a warning, but it may not be all that fair considering what the De la Roy's have in store for him.  

Your take on Diya and Devaneesh's relationship is spot on.  The hows and whys of it will be explored in future chapters.

Thanks Musicluva!

Thanks for the updates! 😍   You know I was waiting for 'em!!! 😄  

Diya and Branny are too cute together. I love this love jonesing stage of a relationship. Hopefully it'll get them through what's to come. Seems Branny started stirring the pot with his "swooning" 😍 drive-by visit. I think it's the nudge Diya needed. They've already established their dedication to the relationship, now it's time to step up to the plate, and knock this ball pit of the park.  Stand ya ground with the family girl! c4;🏾 💪🏾

Girl, Branny is a sweet heart with trying to coparent the puppies, but two dogs and two cats?!?!  Not to mention that both of them are in apartments. More importantly, the 'time' it would take, as Diya mentioned. Maybe it would be better to take them to his moms house since they have the house and land.

Title: Chapter 23 - The Trouble with Assuming

Brandon at the De La Roys for Sunday dinner will be a hoot...I dislike them all except Chandi (strangely enough)...she is just a stank heffa out to make Diya suffer because she gets enjoyment out of it but she is still different from the rest of the family in a good way...she knows of Brandon and has not shunned Diya in spite of that knowledge...Amali sucks...what a beotch...but family does not guarantee that you'll get along or always like a person...I'm just glad that Diya found the heart and bravery to tell them the truth that she is in love with Brandon...she has no reason to be ashamed of her relationship and letting the cat out of the bag, I think,  will only strengthen their relationship, in spite of Diya's fears...Brandon is tougher than Diya gives credit to deal with her family as long as she is with him and doesn't hide him...the fun will be in watching them deal with the antics that will ensue...I can only imagine the craziness and how funny it will be, especially with your genius flair for the comedic...thank you for the 2 chapter update...may you continue to be blessed...and just know this story is so my favorite...I am so happy you updated and it's been less than a month to boot...you are bomb!!!

JJ, First, stellar chapter, Chica.

But I would commit mass murder on this crazy ass family. These folks are certifiable. But DAMN, if they didn't have me rolling.  I now have a headache from laughing so hard.

But, on the real, I'm glad she finally got it out there. I fear what will happen next. I don't hav any confidence that she will stand up for Brandon. We shall see.

Brilliant!

I love this story so much that I was reading it again and remembered something...in chapter 2 when Diya refrained from giving birthday nookie to her Branny, she offered to make it up to him by giving him at a later date a night of sexual pleasure in the place and position of his choosing...in this last chapter Brandon's getting Diya's signature to submit to a night of sexual play of his choosing is finally taking her up on that former offer...I can't wait to see how this plays out but it's gonna be hot, hot, hot!!!...I love this story and how you bring these little things full circle...if I wasn't paying close attention, I'd miss these fun little tidbits...so excited for the next update whenever it comes!!!



Author's Response:

As always, you have an amazing eye for detail, jachannah.  I've got quite a few seeds planted throughout the story that have yet to flower (see the next couple chapters), which was why I thought about waiting until the story was complete to post.  But the way I figure it, I'll post when I can and readers can decide their own pace.   

The "fullfillment of contract" chapter is on its way.  The next chapter, on the other hand, is already here.  Enjoy : )

Thanks for the fabu review, jachannah, and for your continued support!  It means so very much to me = D

Title: Chapter 1 - First Date Redux

OK huge fan over here and was beyond overjoyed to see a double update.  As far as the question of frequency of updates, I think waiting until you're finished to upload is my vote.   Would it be possible for us to get some of your earlier stuff to tide us over until this one's finished?  At any rate, I'll probably be rereading this one.  

 

This last chapter had me laughing at Diya's vagina pak and just enjoying their chemistry and blossoming love story.  Although I know there will be obstacles ahead from both sides of their families and their opposites sometimes colliding, I'm looking forward to see how it all plays out.



Author's Response:

Thanks Tricia!!!  The road ahead will be bumpy, but I'm so happy to have you along for the ride.  I appreciate your input.  Slowly but surely, I'll be revising and reposting some of my old stories, starting with Resignation.

Title: Chapter 1 - First Date Redux

Is her dad uber rich from old money or  something?  The way he judges a person from a glance and dismisses them makes wonder just how stuck up is this guy, and how in the world did Diya become the person she is under his wing. I hope Brandon's temper  mellows out because it is not going to help in this situation. It  will only add more fuel to the inevitable fire. 



Author's Response:

William is self-made and wealthy, but not uber rich.  His reaction to Brandon had less to do with snobbery and more to do with Brandon's race and appearance.  Between William's Southern upbringing and experiences as a defender of civil rights, most of his interactions with men who look like Brandon have been less than pleasant.  As for Brandon's temper, mellowing is possible, but unlikely.  Thanks Vemo.

JJ, thank you for the double-update!  Loving this story!

Diya and her Branny are the cutest! I do understand where Diya is coming from with her over-the-top family, but she really needs to take the leap of faith and trust that Branny will leap with her!  Baby steps though, lol.  I like that even though she was terrified of her father's reaction, she still acknowledged Brandon, so there is that.

I would love for you to continue to update when you have time, and not necessarily wait until the whole book is completed, but that is just my humble opinion...I will read it anyway you decide to write it...love all your stories!

Can't wait to see what happens next...poor papa...lol

 



Author's Response:

Lol.  Poor Papa indeed.  He's having a rough time of it, and things are destined to get worse for all parties involved.  Thanks for giving my girl credit.  Looks like she's gonna get a big push into that leap of faith.  Brandon is sure to leap with her; it's the landing they need to worry about.

Title: Chapter 21 - Surprise, Surprise

I enjoyed this chapter very much. From Mannie trying to get himself castrated by Diya's friend Zeria. To the ice pack making noise and Diya forgetting about it. Got to say Brandon is one man I would't mind having to deliver me lunch , flowers, and a teddy bear after breaking one's va-jay-jay. I love his protectiveness over Diya because you can truly tell he loves her. And sure I do would sign and submit to his will. The ice bpack scene was hilarious. That damn Chandi is just oo much for words. Between Chandi and William one would have to be heavily medicated, but highluy entertained. Looking forward to the next chapter.



Author's Response:

Thanks JovanBleu26!!!  I'm so glad you enjoyed the chapter.  Chandi and William are two of the biggest personalities in the De la Roy clan, but there are others Brandon and Diya will have to contend with.  More on that in upcoming chapters.
