Trapped Between Love & The Streets

By Jahid and Khadijah

Love is a fight. Some people step into the ring ready to give their all, throw every punch, and take every hit just to make it to the final round. Others? They fake it, dancing around the truth, throwing low blows when others least expect it and waiting for the moment they drop their guard to hit them with that uppercut and rain down that final devastating blow.

Amara should've known Derrick wasn't fighting fair.

She's an entrepreneur with multiple hustles, determined to bounce back from a heartbreak that left her shattered. When Derrick, a boxing gym owner who was once a professional boxer on his way to a lucrative boxing career, approaches her table at a speed dating event, she believes she is stepping into the ring with a man who wants to win her heart. But even though he's all suave and dripping in that "I'm him" energy, what she doesn't realize is that she is his opponent. By the time the final bell rings, it isn't just her heart lying on the mat-it's her whole damn soul.

Some fights you walk away from. Some leave you bruised but standing. And still others? They knock you out so bad, you never recover. This is one of those fights. If all is fair in love and war, who will win this battle?
