HE DON'T PLAY ABOUT ME 3

Gio, Gio, Gio...

He still didn't learn.

He thought he could make me fall back in love with him. Make me take him back. Make me forget the life I built for myself in Atlanta.

He thought Love was just going to let him run off with me.

He didn't know Love.

And clearly, he didn't know me.

While Love was fighting his own battles and doing everything in his power to find me, I was busy making Gio believe he had won. I tugged at the same heartstrings that would not let him let me go, all while doing everything I could to find my way back home.

Back to my family.

Back to the man who had never stopped coming for me.

Back to Love.

Some lives get lost when a real steppa says do not play about the woman he loves.

But getting back to Love did not mean everything went back to normal.

I had my man.
I had my family.
I had the life I fought so hard to return to.

But I could not pretend Gio had not left something behind.

The memories.
The fear.
The moments I wished I could erase.

They followed me home.

Love did everything he could to remind me that I was safe, that I was not alone, and that he would protect me from anybody who ever tried to take me away from him again.

That is the kind of man he is.

Possessive. Protective. Unhinged when it comes to me.

But sometimes the hardest part is not surviving what happened to you.

It is learning how to live after it.

I hated that I was pushing away the one person who never gave up on me. The man who risked everything to find me. But every time I closed my eyes, I was right back there with Gio, fighting a battle Love could not see and did not know how to fix.

This was not just about surviving a dangerous man.

It was about healing without losing the love I had fought so hard to get back to.

Because Gio might have believed he took me away from Love.

He was wrong.

All he did was remind me exactly where I belonged.

After everything we survived, everything we lost, and everybody who tried to tear us apart, Love and I were still standing.

This time, it was not about finding our way back to each other.

It was about proving we were never leaving again.

If you're a fan of African American romance, hood romance, second-chance love, protective alpha men, real steppas, healing after trauma, and unhinged men who do not play about the women they love, then He Don't Play About Me 3 is the finale you do not want to miss.
