Mr. Michael "Been Fine" Jordan 🐻

[mereyapalais]

My small contribution for my shaylas, Annie x Smoke. Still getting a feel of their characters.

Modern Smoke x Annie.

Warnings: none. Fluff?

Excuse any errors (👀)

The ghost of a faint kiss tickled Annie out of her deep slumber. She couldn’t distinguish if she was dreaming or not. She refused to open her eyes so as to not cut her sleep short, in case she was just dreaming. Her eyebrows slightly furrowed trying to concentrate on the soft lips against hers.

A soft but deep voice whispering in her ear coaxed her out of her sleep. “Good evening my love. Won’t you open your pretty eyes for me?” A small kiss accompanied his words.

Eyes opening in slow motion, she blinked the sleep away trying to focus on the most beautiful pair eyes. When his whole face came in to view, a tired smile appeared on her face.

“There she goes. My beautiful woman. Hi.”

“Good evening handsome. What time is it?” She asked while stretching her body. This pregnancy has taken a toll on her body. Sleeping like a koala any time of the day. Her body required frequent rest.

That’s why her husband reasoned with her to take her maternity leave earlier than the expected time. He was more than capable of taking care of his household.

He wanted this pregnancy to have as little complications as possible.

It wasn’t easy convincing her to leave the job space. Annie is a hardworking woman. Passionate about what she does. Plus she knows the kids would miss her when they won’t see her.

Explaining to them what a maternity leave entails was a challenge it only made the kids even more curious and have a million other questions. Some about the subject and others just random, asking the first thing that came to mind. She loves those little kids. The rest will do her good so she can have a little kid to call her own.

Checking his Patek Philippe , he read the time “it’s 18:37.”

“You and this military time of yours. What’s that in normal people time Elijah?”

“6:37.”

A gasp left her lips. “Already? Wow I wasn’t planning on laying down for that long.” She took his wrist just to make sure it was indeed the indicated time on the watch.

“How long you been laying down here?”

“Um, well, I was just planning on laying down a bit before starting dinner and I didn’t want to go all the way to the bedroom. Because I was only going to lay down for -

Her rambling came full force when she knows her husband had caught her doing something wrong. He is real strict about this pregnancy and wants to follow all the doctors recommendations to a t.

Whenever she thought of dismissing the doctor’s advice, Elijah was there to make sure she was doing everything as told.

Whether it was her diet, hydration or exercise habits, Elijah made sure everything was done well.

“How long Annie?”

At the sound of her name, she looked up at him with a pout forming on her lips. She wasn’t used to him uttering her name. Normally a term of endearment was used to in lieu of her name. ‘Annie’ sounded foreign at times. Of course he still used her name but most of the time ‘Annie’ was reserved for when she was giving him an out of body experience or when he was scolding her.

Like now.

“Since 4:00, I think.”

His silence made everything else go silent with him. She could feel his hard stare but refused to meet his eyes. She hated whenever he was disappointed with her.

He sighed. His eyes wandered to the side landing on the water bottle he bought her to help keep track of her water intake. The bottle displayed the different hours of the day accompanied by words of encouragement for each hour.

That was strike two in Elijah’s book.

“So you’ve been laying here for at least two hours. And, from what I can see, you haven’t hydrated yourself since 2:00.”

“I forgot.”

“How you forget to drink water Annie?”

“Can you stop calling me that?”

They way voice came out so small, like a whisper, only indicated one thing lately. She was about to cry.

Her feelings have been all over the place lately. Changing like the colours of the aurora borealis.

“Come on mama, don’t cry. I’m sorry. It wasn’t my intention to sound mean. Just want to make sure this journey will be as smooth as possible, yeah?” He says wiping away her tears. Pressing small kisses all over her face.

“Let me go get you something to drink.”

He goes to the kitchen, fills up a cold glass of water before bringing it in front of her. “Drink up.”

After she’s done, he accompanies her to the bathroom to run her a bath. His hand finding it’s rightful place at the small of her back. Rubbing soothingly, absentmindedly.

“Go on and sit as I get the water started.”

Before he could leave, she pulled on his arm bringing his head down to her level and kissing him softly.

He left for the bathroom. Opening the tap a little getting the temperature less hot than normally because their doctor advised so.He opted for the epsome salt since they couldn’t use her regular bath bombs. He lit her tulip shaped unscented candle to add to the ambiance.

“You okay sweetheart?”

So lost in her thoughts, she didn’t hear him enter her space before he spoke. She looked up at him with sad eyes. “I feel bad.”

“You feel bad? Where.” His hands instantly finding her protruding belly. Rubbing it. She lightly slapped his hands away.

The panic in his voice caused her to roll her eyes slightly.

“No Elijah, calm down, I mean I feel bad.”

“Why, love?”

“Because-” Her voice came out louder than intended. “Because I-I’m the one who’s supposed to be taking care of you. You just came back from work and instead of resting you’re here taking care of me. I feel so lazy.”

“Nah baby, you ain’t lazy, stop that.”

He wiped the tears escaping from her eyes. A kiss on her forehead.

“Besides who said you have to take care of me? Hmm? You’re my wife, carrying my child. Our baby. Your body is accomplishing one of the most amazing tasks. Of course you’re going to feel tired. Lemme take care of you while you take care of our baby.”

She sniffles, “I guess..”

He felt like something deeper was was bothering her. He was going to tend to whatever it was after but for now, he just wanted her to relax.

“Come on. Let’s get you in that bath before the water runs cold. We gon have a talk later.”

Thank you for reading 💋

I'm just gonna drop this here and leave. I have no idea where this is from.

[kcyars99]

fuck you and fuck this take!!!!

The audacity of this post blaming the two men verbally accosted on stage and camera for not quashing it. Regardless if the guy has Tourette’s, thinking these two have any obligation to make that situation right- is laughable.

Always trying to make the Black person who was dehumanized perform grace. FUCK NO. They did nothing wrong & are owed an apology. BCC cut out a homophobic slur, Free Palestine, & even political commentary, but left in a racial slur despite Warner Bros immediately saying to remove it.

Fuck forgiving this The FUCK!! Those fine men got a MACROaggression on a world stage! There is no planet or dimension in which they need to forgive anything about this situation.

Never!

I'm reminded of Jeremiah Harvey saying he does not accept Teresa Klein's apology. "I don't forgive this woman, and she needs help," he said. She falsely accused a 9 year old of sexual assault.

Black Boy Says ‘I Don’t Forgive This Woman, And She Needs Help’ After Cornerstore Caroline's Apology

Jeremiah Harvey delivered a tearful message at a community press conference.

More Black adults should follow suit.

never forgive hews who are evil!

It seems like some of you need remedial discourse on why the n word is unacceptable for non Black folks to say under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES (I will not engage how Blk folks use it here that’s a different thread for a diff time) the word itself is VIOLENCE (read that again)

2) That word was used to justify slavery (rape torture & ownership of Blk bodies & no consequences no matter what was done) the word was used to justify Jim Crow & unequal treatment under the law (Plessy vs Ferguson) the word was the last one people heard before they were lynched

3) when you INVOKE THAT WORD, you are aligning yourself with THIS HISTORY OF VIOLENCE and bringing it to the present day and the present situation. You are letting the Blk people in the orbit KNOW YOU ARE NOT A SAFE PERSON you are in fact A THREAT! Nothing you say…

4) there’s nothing you could say that could communicate you’re a threat to a Blk person more clearly. Even the phrase “I will kill you” has been said in light moments depending on context. THERE IS NO CONTEXT FPR W FOLKS TO USE THE N WORD ITS HISTORY AUTOMATICALLY MEANS THREAT!

5) it’s not only an immediate “I’m on my guard” it’s an immediate “you’re written off for not understanding or not caring enough to understand” WHY KNOWING ITS HISTORY DOES ANY WHITE PERSON WISH TO BE ALIGNED WITH THIS WORD?! At best it says you’re not welcome here…

6) you already KNOW the worst…

so no fuck forgiveness for this act of hate!
