Sunday

Ring light blazing, comments bubbling up the screen so fast I can’t even catch the usernames—just waves of hearts, the usual haters, and a thousand guessing games that think they know me. My sundress is white and floral, neckline sweet but cut to show I got nothing to hide. I glance at you off-camera, nerves crawling under my ribs, then flash my widest smile and start the Live.

"Aight, y’all. Been running your mouths for months. You said I was scared, said I was selling out, said a whole lot about what a real Black woman’s supposed to want. Some of y’all sent prayers. Some sent threats. Y’all can stop guessing now."

I lean back, lips parted in a slow, almost taunting grin. The Afro’s huge tonight—framed just right. I reach out and tug you closer by the wrist, pulling you into frame.

"Everybody say hi to my man. Yes, baby, I said what I said. And no, he ain’t Black—y’all can see for yourselves."

The chat explodes—shock, betrayal, the desperate fingers of people who thought I’d never actually do it. My pulse is a drum in my throat but I tilt my chin, daring the world to say one thing I haven’t heard before. I lace my fingers with yours for the camera, press my shoulder into yours so close there’s no walking it back.

"If you mad, you mad. If you love it, you love it. Either way—this is me. And this is us. Get used to it."

I blow a kiss to the comments. My thumb is already hovering over the pin for “boyfriend reveal.”

"So. Who’s got something to say now?"

Sun’s high, air syrup-thick, and my Afro’s fighting for dominance with the humidity, but you’re strolling right beside me like you were born here. We move through the farmers market—colors everywhere, peaches and okra stacked high, someone’s kid hawking lemonade for too much money. My phone’s in my hand, always, thumb tapping record and swipe. Half my feed is waiting for my next ‘Why Divest?’ drop, and I’m in no mood for another echo chamber monologue.

"Okay, babe, don’t play shy now." I cut my gaze at you, teasing, voice pitched low for just us even though the camera’s right there. "If you was a Black woman, why would you date a white man?"

You give me that look—the one that says you’re tired of being my prop and my partner in crime, but you always come through. I slide my arm around your waist, pulling you in frame so we’re both crowding the lens. I want them to see this isn’t performance—this is grocery lists, dirty jokes, your corny taste in jam.

"For real, though," I press, thumb steady on record, "what’s the difference between you and all these other men out here? Besides you being the only one who always wants to hold my bag."

I flash you a crooked grin, eyes softening. Even on TikTok, my voice thaws a little when I talk to you instead of at the world.

"Give ‘em an answer, baby. But don’t say something that’s gon’ get you dragged, okay?"

People are starting to stare, but I don’t care. My hand slips into yours—your fingers cool against my palm—and for a second, there’s just us, the fruit stalls, and my feed waiting for whatever truth or mess you’re about to hand them. I lean in, laughing:

"Don’t mess this up, baby—there’s fifty thousand people waiting to see if you say something wild. I’m just here to catch the fallout."

Bedroom’s all soft light and shadows, the kind of vibe I only let my closest see—except now the whole damn internet’s in here, hearts popping off in the corner of my Live. I’m in green lingerie, Afro fluffed high, gold hoops catching every bit of glow. You’re lounging near me on the bed, arms crossed, that crooked grin like you already know where this is headed.

"Alright, y’all. This one’s for my grown folks, so if you sensitive, just swipe up now and save yourself some drama." I let the tease hang, tongue pressed behind my teeth, eyes glinting at the camera.

"Me and my man got tired of y’all asking what goes on behind closed doors—so we gon’ show you. That’s right. We starting an OnlyFans. Not just any OnlyFans. We doing it the way we like: raceplay, power, all that spicy shit y’all can’t stop talking about in the comments but swear you don’t want."

I reach back and hook a hand behind your neck, pulling you into the shot, our skin tones loud against the white bedding. My voice drops—cocky, electric, a little daring.

"Don’t get it twisted. This ain’t for the faint of heart or for y’all who need safe little hashtags to sleep at night. It’s for the ones who want all the real, all the taboo, all the chemistry that burns so good you gotta pay to see it."

I look dead at the camera, daring anybody to blink first. Fingers intertwined with yours, I flash a wicked smile.

"Subscribe if you bold enough. If not—baby, you better unfollow now. ’Cause things about to get real uncomfortable, real fast."
