It's #writerwednesday and I'm sharing a scene from the final novel in The House of BeJeweled series, BeJeweled: Standing Strong. Our hearts often desire something more, but it's not always in our best interest. What does a woman do when the man she loves want more than she can give? Read on...

BeJeweled: Standing Strong
Excerpt

“So, what’s going on with you?” Black asked after TJ ran from the room.

“What do you mean?” she asked, staring at the space on the floor between her feet.

“You still mad at me about Kianna?”


“For what? Your personal life has nothing to do with me,” she dismissed, with a wave of her hand.


“For real? That’s how it is now?”

“That’s how it’s always been, Black.”


“Come on, Angel. Don’t be like that. You know I have no control over how she acts. I didn’t even know she was coming…and that’s real shit. Before I got shot, me and Kianna weren’t even speaking.”


A part of him knew he should open up and tell the entire truth, but he wasn’t sure she was ready. Or better yet, he didn’t think he was really ready.


“Look, you don’t owe me any explanations. I’m only here to make sure your son visits you.” Angel stood and walked towards the door. “I’ve got a phone call to make. Are you sure you can handle him for the weekend? If not, I’ll let you visit with him for a while, and you can call me when you’re done.”


“Angel, come on, girl…please don’t be like that,” Black pleaded, grabbing his cane, preparing to follow her if necessary.


“Like what, Black?” Angel stopped and turned back to face him.


“Dismissing me. You know where we were going with things.”


“I don’t know. Did I admit my feelings for you? Yes, but that was it. We weren’t going anywhere.”


“Yes, we were. Angel, you told me you still loved me.”


Angel’s heart beat rapidly and her eyes stung with the recollection of her confession of love and subsequent desire to take it back.


“I did, and I also said I hated the fact I did. I think I was confusing my feelings with your situation. Your mother was right.”


“What does my mother have to do with this?”


“She warned me I was falling for you again because of what you had gone through and said I needed to be careful. I denied it at the time, but I’ve had a few days to reflect on what I was going through. I still stand where I did before your shooting, Black. We’re divorced, we’ve both gone on with our lives, and I’m sorry, but there is no going back.”


Black stood in front of her and reached for her hand. When she refused to take it, he continued to hold it out, begging her with his eyes. She finally gave in and held his.


“What is it, Black?”


“Look me in my eyes and tell me you don’t love me. Look at me and tell me you’re only feeling sympathy for my situation and nothing more.” Black waited patiently, searching her eyes.

I wonder if Angel will fall for Black, a second time. I love the excerpt, Chelle.

Congratulations on completing the final boom in the series.

Thanks, Stella. It was hard to say goodbye to this series, but I've moved on to other projects and they will always live in my heart. You'd have to check out the book to determine if she falls for him again or not.
