I'm thinking oh daddy is not going to like Brandon. I can just Imagine when poor Brandon comes face to face with all Diya's sisters.

This chapter was so funny, no you didn't call them sanctified thugs. My mom and dad have 7 children, there is not a dull moment in my life. We all have our different personalities too, I'm the mellow one. My husband has 10 siblings all men, they tell you how it is, just straight forward and honest my big Italian teddy bears. I like Chandi I have 2 of her in my life.

So daddy's trying to make a love connection. If that's the cse, she better hurry up and tell him to pump the brakes. Maybe it's time to introduce Brandon to the family. If this is a setup,I hope Brandon doesn't find out or the two month thing will go bye-bye cause it'll be time to claim his woman. Brandon's so cool he might not think snything of it. The way they go into withdrawl and geeking like crackheads when they spend too much time apart.
Author's Response:
Brandon's reaction to Diya's "date" may surprise you. She is not in any way prepared for him to meet the family. As the story progresses, you'll understand why (even if you don't agree). Thanks VeMo!

I take it her father is trying to fix up Diya with this Mannie person? Her father is so wrong that.
Author's Response:
William thinks he's doing a good thing for his baby girl. He has good intentions, but poor execution. Thanks Pam!

2 chapters I'm so excited, while reading this I came to a sudden realisation: I am sooo happy that I don't have one of those meddling parents. I loved the scenes involving the interaction of Brandon and Diya and I hope that Mannie is not going to be a problem because I really like Dee and Bee together. Anyway great chapters.
Author's Response:
Thanks Zoleka! Mannie plays a role in all this. What role remains to be seen. As far as meddling fathers is concerned, Diya's has one of the worst. And he's not even close to done. Stay tuned...

I knew her daddy set her up with some dude! Yuck! Poor girl has a meddling pops...I feel for her...thanks for the two chapter update...it was fun, especially learning more about Diya's family...I miss having more Diya-Brandon interaction, but good job.
Author's Response:
Diya's dad is a bit much, but it comes from a good place. You'll get more of them and Diya and Brandon in upcoming chapters. Thanks Jahchannah!
Reviewer: jahchannah Signed [Report This]Date: July 08 2015 01:26 pm
That was lol hysterical. Chandi is too much! Unfortunately, I think Diya is going to have problems with her family accepting Brandon. I'm eager to see how this plays out.
Author's Response:
Diya definitely will. The only questions is what will it do to the relationship? Thanks Jahchannah!
Reviewer: jahchannah Signed [Report This]Date: July 08 2015 01:06 pm
These sisters are hilarious! ! But damn Chandi is mean to Diya. Makes me glad that I only have brothers!

Chandi would make anyone happy to have only brothers. Thanks Pam!

wow! there are some strooong personalities in the De La Roy family - i see battles ahead from both sides. one question, out of curiosity, are you going to write the story from di & brandon's pov or just hers?
thanks for the quick update!

This story will be told strictly from Diya POV. Thanks Yuukiyanagi!

Thanks for the update, JJ!! THANK YOU!

This was a funny chapter. So the plan was to make sure he'd never know about her bodily functions and her early morning grooming. It was so funny when he told her he was aware of her getting up to freshen up. I died laughing over her and the cat I wonder who is going to win that battle for Brandon. Oh lord and the hide and go get it .....and Brandan asked go get what....vagina. Then she insisted he had to have played a similar game as a kid and he said yeah it was called fucking . I was done. I was screaming. That was so funny. Brandon is so down to earth. I am really going to enjoy these two.

Thanks VeMo! So glad you're getting a kick out of Diya and her foolishness.

Love this story, but then I love all your stories. Obviously Brandons fan club will cause problems. Madison wants Brandon bad. She's probably always crushed on him and was hoping to make him the girls "daddy" This will be interesting. Race also needs to clean his butt up. Great update, I'm glad she can hold off on the sex nexus I think I would have caved
Author's Response:
Brandon isn't the only one with a fan club who might cause problems. Stay tuned... Thanks Michmom!

I love reading Diya's thoughts! She is hysterical in her view of her life and surroundings and you are brilliant to write comedy. Honestly, I was truly LOL while reading. Her relationship with Brandon is precious but I sense angst will come in the form of Marisol because Brandon is blind to her "crush" among other potential obstacles yet to be revealed. But the beginnings of love are so beautiful and here are beautifully written. You rock...
Author's Response:
You may be right about Marisol. She cares a lot about Brandon; in what way remains to be seen. As for the other obstacles, you know they're coming. But hopefully I'll be able to deliver a few more laughs and romantic moments before we go there. Thanks Jahchannah!
Reviewer: jahchannah Signed [Report This]Date: July 06 2015 06:13 pm
Marisol may be a problem. If her affection for Brandon is really just that of a sister, I can see her being protective and such, but she seemed a little crest fallen that Brandon was seriously seeing someone. She was actuallu disappointed. I would have eased out just like Diya. I cannot blame her for not wanting to be apart of a Brandon tug of war. Marisol and her daughters were prepared to show Diya that even if she was there, Brandon belongs to them. And on that note, Diya left, good.
Brandon seems like a really cool dude and even better friend, so you can imagine Marisol and her daughters knowing (not thinking) they have rights to Brandon that no else he may be with does. So, how this play out will be interesting. I guess if you have had a friend your whole life and they are always there (and you having a secret crush does not help) you will not want to share, But that is extremely selfish seeing has how Marisol has three children. Maybe Brandon wants to settle down and have some kids. I know he loves Marisol and her daughters, but that's not quite enough. They do not belong to him though I am sure Marisol would beg to differ. And Marisol does seem nice enough, but we will see. I love this story!!!
Author's Response:
Great insight. Marisol is a long-time friend and has watched quite a few women come and go in both Brandon's and her brother's life, most of them not good. So she's a little wary. As the story progresses, we'll see whatelse is in play with regard to her less than enthusiastic response to Diya. Thanks for reading and reviewing!

They're just so cute. I'm glad Brandon let her know he was on to her morning routine so that she didn't have to keep doing all of that in the morings anymore lol. Those little girls are adorable and I feel like maybe Marisol had a little crush on Brandon when they were younger that never really went away. You're style of writing is so engaging and it paints the perfect picture in my head of what I read on screeen. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Thanks for the lovely compliment, helloWORLD (and reviewing, of course)! The nature of Marisol's feelings toward Brandon will be revealed in due time, and they may be a bit of a surprise. We'll see. Update posted.

I don't trust Maribelle, I think that she got vapors for Brandon! Poor Rafe, but your ex-home didn't deserve you. Brandon is my hero!! Diys is so silly and I am glad that Brandon called out on her non-sense of getting up before to fix herself up.

The verdict is still out on Marisol and Maribelle. I'm glad you enjoyed Brandon outing Diya for her a.m. dolling up. She certainly didn't. Thanks Pmgayles!

I love the chemistry between Brandon and Diya. Most black women don't give white men or other Races of men a chance, they are stuck in a bubble. A good man comes in all nationalities. I say be with who makes you happy. I'm glad you are back.

Btw, Diya cracks me up with her inner thoughts & assessments: Brandon could've walked her through the drive-thru at McDonald's and she still would've been happy or he he causes humidity in her knickers! Lol!!! She is a subtle riot with her inner thoughts & assessments. She's quite humorous in the scene with Zeria too! Looking forward to their in a relationship, still getting to know each other conversations.
Author's Response:
I really enjoy writing Diya. Her mind is a foolishness factory. There will be plenty more interesting conversation, in and outside of her head, the first of which you'll see next chapter. Thanks JV4ME!
