SNEAK PEEK:

Naheema noticed Mike's jacket on the floor. Mike saw what she was looking at, but she was closer to it than he was. She ran for the jacket as Mike tried to jump across the bed and get it first. But he landed the wrong way and twisted his ankle.
As Naheema picked up the jacket, her hands shook from nervousness. She prayed that Chyna's nasty words weren't true.
All Mike could do was wince in pain and wait. He didn't think her looking in his jacket would cause any harm, because he didn't have any numbers or condoms in his pockets. But he still couldn't help but wonder why she wanted it.
After looking through all of his pockets on the outside of the jacket, Naheema went to check the inside pocket. She felt something there. She took the package out of his pocket and looked at Mike for a while before opening it.
Mike was getting nervous. He didn't remember putting anything inside that pocket. Then it hit him. That bitch Chyna. He had to find a way to get Naheema to give him the package.
Naheema unfolded the letter attached to the package and started reading it out loud.

My dearest Mike,
From the time we first met, I knew we would be lovers. I never expected our relationship to last three years without some kind of commitment. I surely didn't expect that we would be ending this way either, but that's life, right, baby? We've been through a lot of ups and downs in our relationship, but I never thought in my wildest dreams that you would make me your sideline ho for that chick.

YOU SHOWED ME

Dating a hustler was never on Naheema’s to-do list. But after the charming yet deceptive Mike sweeps her off her feet, dating a hustler is the least of her worries. Mike’s charming sweetness toward Naheema turns sour when the abuse, cheating, and his street mentality kicks in. The life of a hustler’s woman takes its toll on Naheema physically, mentally, and emotionally, taking her from a fairy tale to a horror flick. But Naheema is learning from the best, and soon the tables turn and she holds Mike’s future in her hands. Filled with action, grief, friendship, family ties, and the ultimate betrayal, You Showed Me exhibits what it means to be tried, be tested, and triumph.

The Manly Chronicles- No Strings attached relationship

It was brought to my attention by a good friend that he is tired of trying to explain to these women and some of his male friends the real meaning of being in a no strings attached relationship. So I decided to inform you all about a NSAR.
A No Strings Attached Relationship (NSAR) is defined as; a relationship that has no conditions or contractual requirements. It’s when two people decide to engage in a sexual relationship that has no ties or expectation with regards to finances, exclusivity or romance.
In other words, NSAR means no feelings involved. Here are some rules to the NSAR. Hopefully this will help a lot of people.
1. NO-STRINGS really mean no strings - you have no claim on the person you are with. Nothing emotional or physical so therefore you have no reason to become attached or jealous.
2.Remain unemotionally attached to the person. You’re not looking for love and neither is the other person.
3. Casual Sex is just that. Casual. Your only there to satisfy a need.
4. The hit it and quit it rule applies to the NSAR. Remember that.
5. Know your reasons. Make sure you know what your reasons are for wanting a NSAR with a certain male/female before starting one, and clearly communicate these reasons to that person.
6.Know how to keep your emotions separate from the physical act. Just because he/she can make your toes curl does not give you the reason to act a fool.
7. Set clear ground rules, EARLY (i.e. before having sex). Rules such as these may help you keep the physical separate from the emotional: no kissing on the lips, no spending the night sleeping together, no romantic snuggling or petting, no social engagements, no public displays of affection. Also, avoid having long personal phone conversations or texting.
8. Don’t fool yourself. If she/ he have a girl/guy, then you need to play your role. If you can’t do that then leave him/her alone.

Top Ten Things a Women looks for in Men

1.Appearance- Does he takes the time to properly groom himself. You’ll never get a second chance to make a first impression.
2.Honesty- Keep your word. A real man is always reliable. Women have a scent for sniffing out liars.
3.Confidence- If you are not sure of yourself, don't even bother. Be comfortable with whom you are and stop worrying about what everyone else thinks about you.
4.Take charge- A real women wants a real man, not someone she can control.
5.Conversation- You will get further by playing the strong, silent type then the overly chatty dude. Be mysterious. Don't give up your personal information too easy. Women love a challenge.
6.Stay Focus- Women like to be looked in the eyes not the breast so keep your eyes above nose level.
7.Pick-Up Lines- A real man don’t use pick up lines. His persona and character is a line in itself.
8.Entourage- A real man doesn’t need a crew to give him courage.
9.Manners- Real men have cell phones on vibrate. Business and pleasure are two separate events.
10.Chivalry is not dead. Real men know this.

A Letter from a Mistress

To my lover’s wife,
This letter is long overdue! There are a few things we need to get out in the open so we both know where we stand!

You see, I've known your husband for quite some time now. We met at work. One thing led to another and since then we’ve been all over each other. However, in the beginning, I wasn't the only love of his life, there were others, but for the most part they’re out of his life. However, I’m still around. He just can't seem to let go of me. I really didn't spend much time with him when you first got married although he did spend time with the others. He’s told me that he’s even taken off with them for several weeks at a time and never left you a word. Anyway, during the last five years of your marriage we have grown much closer. We spend more and more time together and I think it is time you realize. I am not going away. You may be his wife and I am sure in his own way he loves you. He has said you are a good wife to him and have been committed to the vows you took. He appreciates that but it’s not enough for him! You see, I'm the one he needs. I'm what he craves and can't live without. I’m the one he is most passionate about and faithful too. He longs to put his hand on my brown slender body and he yearns to press his lips against me. My taste is intoxicating and I make him feel like a man. Being with me turns him into someone he normally wouldn't be. Being with me makes him lose control. With me he has no inhibitions and he'll say exactly what’s on his mind. I'm always there for him. No expectation or complaints. I'm there for his pleasure always. He'll do anything for me. He'll lie for me and sneak away just to be with me. Whether it’s in a bar or in his car we manage to be together every single night. Sometimes even in your own house! On his days off we manage to spend most of the day together. How could you not know about us before now? Every time he has been with me he comes home a different person. Can't you smell me on him after we've been together? I've drained him of his energy and when he awakes he's ready for me all over again. I hear that you have been blaming me for all of your problems with him. Well don't! He's the one to blame; not me. He comes to me, I don't go to him. He chose me and I never let him down. You're his wife but he wants me more! He'd rather be with me than spend time with you and his children. Do you know where he’s at during mealtime? How about on holidays? Or even when you're fighting? Well, he’s with me! Even when you're getting along? With me! When relatives are visiting? He's with me! Hell, he was even with me at your daughter's birthday parties! Don't you think it is a little strange that he takes hours to run simple errands that should take minutes? You almost caught us together but and all he did was laugh! He doesn’t care. Don’t you see, he doesn't talk to you after he’s been with me? You just make him feel guilty and bad about himself. Does he touch you after he has been with me? No! When he lies down beside you, in your bed, each night, he's still under my control. He's still with me!! You don't stand a chance against me, so get over it and pay the damn discover card bill already. I need to go shopping.

Sincerely Yours,
Your husband’s Mistress
