Beautiful Brute (Court University 3)

Okay, so that I wasn’t getting away with. They both went for me like it was open season, and Royal watched on from the best seat of the house.

I honestly didn’t think any of us would ever grow up, and I hoped we wouldn’t. Growing up made you serious. Growing up made you hard, and I think, at least for me, I’d had enough of that. We were all past the places of trying to control every little thing. We wanted to be happy, had found happiness, and there was no going back after that.

The women in our lives made us better men, better brothers. They made us all see the world in a different way and accept that there was more to it than pain, suffering, hatred, or even revenge. But most importantly, they allowed us to see that life, at least mine, didn’t have to be so hard.

As far as I was concerned, my girlfriend Cleo had given me a second chance at an actual life instead of a half one. I hadn’t been living before. Not until she found me.

And she thought I saved her.
