SWEET DREAMS
Six months earlier …
September
She stood beside Dorian Douglas and took in his majestic presence. He stood tall, strong, almost head and shoulders above every other man in the room. His deep, chocolate brown skin shone as he held his drink in one hand, the other wrapped securely around Sunny’s slim waist. He practically towered over everyone, his regal aura seemingly radiant around him. Looking at her man, Sunny’s lips spread into a smile without her even realizing it. She loved him so much.
He stared down at her and she watched his lips as he spoke. “You okay, baby?” he asked.
She could see the other women in the room—women dressed provocatively in designer clothes, jewelry and expensive shoes just as she was. Each of them watched Dorian hungrily, wondering what it would take for them to snatch Sunny’s spot by his side. But even with all the sexy women practically stripping for him on the dance floor as the reggae music pumped through the speakers, Dorian’s gaze was fixed on her. He searched Sunny’s eyes as if he could see past them.
She smiled at him and he returned the gesture, kissed her softly on her lips, and held her closer.
“Yeah,” Sunny said. “I’m good.”
* * *
She didn’t realize that she was dreaming until the alarm clock blared in her ear, startling her. Sunny awoke, glanced around her large bedroom and came back to reality. Dorian was dead—had been for more than ten years now. And her daughter, Mercedes—tall like her daddy and as stunningly beautiful as her mom even at the tender age of twelve years old—was sprawled out across the other half of Sunny’s California king–size bed. Sunny turned off her alarm clock and smiled at the sight of her beautiful baby sleeping soundly beside her.
Mercedes had her own room—spacious, professionally decorated and full of every amenity any kid would ever wish for. But she still preferred to slip under her mother’s covers every chance she got and fall asleep beside her, inhaling that maternal scent that gave her comfort like no other smell on earth.
Since the day she was born, Mercedes had seldom been far from Sunny’s side. Sunny adored her, doted on her and would have only the best for her baby girl—her one and only child with the one man she had ever truly loved. Mercedes was the perfect combination of Sunny’s sass and Dorian’s cleverness. She was pretty, smart, and quick-witted like her mother, yet perceptive, aristocratic and calculating like her father.
Sunny appreciated that her daughter still longed to be in her bed at night. She knew that Mercedes was approaching a difficult age when teenage angst and rebellion could come between them.
Sunny had worked hard to get noticed by the elite of the entertainment industry and her persistence had certainly paid off. Over the years she landed major ad campaigns and had established an impressive portfolio for herself. She had been seen on the arm of more than one major player in sports or entertainment and was a favorite of the gossip pages. The name Sunny Cruz rang bells from New York to L.A. and she was doing her damndest to keep it that way. Some questioned Sunny’s motives for remaining constantly in the public eye, when so much of her life as a hustler’s wife had been lived in caution and discretion. Few knew that what truly drove her was an ugly unhealed wound that was so much deeper than what people saw on the beautiful surface.
Sunny leaned over and kissed Mercedes on the cheek, smoothed a lock of her thick and flowing hair away from her face, and softly shook her awake.
“Rise and shine, pretty girl,” Sunny sang. “It’s time for school.”
Mercedes peeked through sleepy eyes and smiled at her mother. “Good morning, Mommy,” she said. “It’s always time for school.”
Sunny laughed and nudged her playfully. “Come on and let’s have Jenny G make us banana pancakes.”
Mercedes bounded out of bed then and scampered off toward her own bedroom, excited that their live-in servant Jenny Gonzalez would be making her favorite breakfast.
Sunny smiled as she watched her go, then went into her bathroom and looked at her reflection in the mirror. She stared into her eyes and tried to see what Dorian had found when he looked into them the way he had in her dream. But all she recognized was the same pain that had taken up residence there the moment Dorian had drawn his last breath in her arms all those years ago.
Thinking of him caused her instant heartache. She had loved Dorian Douglas with such intensity that his absence made her feel hollow. She reached up to the top of the medicine cabinet and searched around with her hand until she touched the soft silk satchel that held her pain reliever.
She reached into the small black pouch, retrieving a tiny white pill. Sunny popped the Percocet in her mouth and sipped some water, eager for the drug to take effect and numb the pain to the point where she could slip out of her mind, just a little bit, for just a little while. Sunny wasn’t in any physical pain. She popped Percs like Tic Tacs throughout the day as a way of coping with the feelings she had struggled with for years—loneliness, pain of love lost, fear of boredom, and of a life filled with monotony and routine.
She got her Percs from Gillian Nobles, an old family friend who was a queenpen in her own right. Thanks to the Nobles family’s access to a cache of prescription medications, Sunny enjoyed the numbing relaxation of a tiny white pill. Pushing thoughts of Dorian to the back of her mind, she went about her morning ritual and emerged from the bathroom feeling ready to face the world.
Ninety minutes later, after a five-star breakfast, showers and hairstyling, Sunny and Mercedes sat side by side in the backseat of her Aston Martin, both of them relaxing with their legs crossed so perfectly they looked like an ad for an etiquette class. Mercedes was clad in her prep-school uniform, while Sunny was decked out in a DKNY blazer, white V-neck, and black leggings. Her red-bottomed riding boots and bright yellow BCBG clutch gave her outfit her signature flair for the dramatic.
Sunny’s driver, Raul, climbed into the driver’s seat and smiled at his two lovely passengers.
“Good morning, ladies,” he practically shouted, his hearing having deteriorated over the years. “Y’all ready to get going today?”
“Yes, we are,” Sunny confirmed. She leaned forward in her seat to speak directly into his ear so that her instructions could be heard clearly the first time. Sunny hated repeating herself to Raul—to anyone for that matter. “We’re dropping Mercedes off at school. Then I’m going to Midtown to meet with Olivia at Shootin’ Crooks.”
The driver nodded and buckled his seat belt. He was familiar with Shootin’ Crooks and with Sunny’s friend Olivia, who worked out of the company’s office on West Fifty-third Street, where she toiled nonstop in conjunction with her brother’s rap empire. Raul had been driving for Sunny for several years and Olivia had played an integral role in getting work for Sunny. Her referrals had garnered some great publicity and priceless contacts. It was one of the many reasons why Sunny counted Olivia as one of her few friends—a term she didn’t use loosely.
Sunny slid back into her seat beside her daughter and crossed her legs once more. She stared at Mercedes and could see Dorian in her. She was a lovely young lady and she was smart. Sunny couldn’t be prouder.
She watched as Mercedes toyed with her BlackBerry. “When you get out of school today, call me. I should be wrapping things up in Midtown by then and we can hang out,” Sunny said.
Mercedes finished reading her horoscope and nodded at her mother, smiling. “Okay. But can I hang out with Genevieve instead of meeting up with you?”
Sunny thought about it. Genevieve was Mercedes’s classmate—a caramel-complexioned Michelle Obama in the making. She agreed. After all, the two girls never got in any trouble—together or separate. “Where are you two trying to go?”
“Bloomy’s,” Mercedes answered, her face as sweet as could be. Shopping at Bloomingdales was one of her favorite pastimes.
Sunny had given her daughter her own credit card long ago, although Mercedes knew that her every transaction was being monitored. She was careful with her spending, but knew that her limit was bottomless.
“Genevieve’s sister works there so we’re gonna stop in and say hi to her and then do a little shopping.”
Sunny pretended to think about it, but she trusted Mercedes and really had no problem letting her go.
“Okay,” she said at last. “Call Raul when you get out of school. He’ll take you and Genevieve wherever you want to go and he’ll drop you both off at home afterwards.” Sunny leaned forward in her seat. “DID YOU HEAR THAT?” she bellowed into her elderly driver’s ear.
“Yes!” he assured her hurriedly so that she would stop yelling. “I will wait for Mercedes to call.”
Satisfied, Sunny patted him on the back appreciatively and sat back.
“Thanks, Madre.” Mercedes looked at her mom and smiled. “You look nice today,” she observed.
Sunny playfully pinched her daughter’s cheek. “I look nice every day, Mercedes.” Sunny winked at her. “And so do you. It’s in our genes.”
Mercedes thought about that, and decided that she agreed. “Yes. Bella is beautiful, too.”
Sunny smiled. “Bella” was the name Mercedes had given to Sunny’s mother, Marisol, as a child. As a toddler, she had...

Cocaine Madness
By Sinfunni
***SPOILER ALERT***
This book appears to be the authors attempt to scare people away from the use of cocaine at the expense of the characters she developed in White Lines. In book two (White Lines II), the actions and decisions made by the characters were simply ridiculous. Sheldon, a crack baby, is billed as a killer in the making. Now with him being in the system and his mother having to fight to gain custody of her son, the court did not mandate Early Intervention Assessment. Okay, so school staff did not insist that he be evaluated. Jada a journalist couldn't do research to figure out what to do about the love of her life, Sheldon. Okay, his attorney auntie didn't see the need to advise her sister to get help for Sheldon. All this money around and no one uses it to get him professional help. Born and Jada finally head toward marriage after being separated for a decade and rebuilding their relationship decide to part because Sheldon has mental health issues. Yeah okay, that's believable. Sunny goes to L.A. and on her first day wakes up to a dead body at the home of a man she was in a committed relationship with for a year. Bombshell Ava, partner at a law firm, can't find a man. Oh yeah she made it clear that she liked one (Malcolm) but Sunny breaks girl code to have him. Loyalty is Sunny's middle name so I ain't buying. Ava, Miss do it the right way, sleeps with a friend's "husband without the papers". Oh yeah, she was drunk. I guess Ms. Brown was trippin' when she wrote this garbage. Book II is clearly a set up for book III, but, I'm sober enough to pass. I suggest that she have someone else write it because she has definitely lost her way. I recommend that she reads T. Styles "Black and Ugly" series where she can learn that she can show effects of cocaine use without it being a caricature.

EXCELLENT READ
By DC Avid Reader
I enjoyed reading "White Lines II: Sunny". This book is the sequel to "White Lines", which told the story of Jada, Sunny, Born and Dorian, as the main characters. I liked the way Ms. Brown introduced the readers to Sunny's and Jada's life, years later. They both had changed their lifestyles for the better, as we are re-introduced to them. They both seemed to be doing great in the beginning of the book, but as time goes on, they both encouter some challanges, and some of which result back to their days of drug use and being in the roles of a "Wifey". Sunny yields to the temptation again, of the white substance, which is one of the reasons, her one and true love Dorian was killed. She has met a new beau, Malcom, who has truly fallen in love with her, but due to her temptation again, he is involved in as much danger as she is by the end of the book. Jada has reconnected with Born again, after all of their previous hard aches, pain, and mistrusts, which resulted in both of them having children with people they did not truly love. Jada's son, Shelton, is truly a Bad Seed from his father's DNA, who was killed, and one of Born's rivals. Shelton causes so much mental and physical pain in this book, that Jada might have to put her true love, Born on the back burner, until she can deal with Sheldon's mental issues. There is definitely a Book 3 in the works, based on the ending of the book. I just hope that Ms. Brown is working on Book 3 now, and it will be forthcoming sooner than later. Ms. Brown, please keep writing your stories in your voice and I will keep purchasing your books, and telling others about your books.

I wanted so much to like this book. . .
By Sapphire
Alas I was very disappointed. The first thing that distracted me was the age differences in the first few chapters. I think I would have enjoyed this more if it had picked up where the first one left off like Aftermath. The book kept telling me that Sunny was bored every other paragraph - ok I get it - she was bored so she started chasing the white lines again. Jada was reduced to tears every time she had a confrontation with her son. I'm sorry but the woman has been to hell and back - there is no way she would be this weak. If she had she never would have gotten off drugs and stayed clean for ten years. Born, a man I admired in the first book, was reduced to a spineless wimp who couldn't make up his mind whether he wanted to be with Jada or he just wanted to let the relationship go. After his behavior in this book, I think Jada deserves better. She deserves someone who accepts her just the way she is and doesn't keep straddling the fence. Sheldon, a good butt whipping would have taken care of that - enough said. Ava was just pathetic in more ways than one. She should have let Malcolm know she was interested. Why be mad when he falls for someone else and you never even let him know you were feeling him. I kept waiting for Sunny to grow up and realize that she could still her life on her own terms without having to resort to drugs but alas she lost everything because she was selfish and stupid. I am definitely interested in a third book because I know there is more to the story.
