Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I’m either all in with something or I’m not wasting my time. There’s no point doing something half-arsed.”
“We’ll go when we’re ready to go,” he said in a voice so low and soft that it was barely audible. “Put your head up, Shannon like the river.”
“Now,” I sneered, glaring down at their faces. “Who wants to call my girlfriend a whore to my face?”
“I’m playing by the rules, asshole,”
I’d lost count of the number of brawls Gibs had jumped into on my behalf down through the years, and vice versa.
“So you are capable of knowing right from wrong?” “What’s your problem?” she cried. “We didn’t do anything to you!”
“And when you fuck with her, you fuck with me.”
The blond’s face turned scarlet.
“If she or any of her whore friends even look at my girlfriend again, I’m coming for you.”
“I have a reputation to uphold, and I can’t do that in a place that serves scumbags.”
“I’ll be back when the clientele doesn’t consist of vicious fucking bullies.”
“I’d love to, actually—if you want to, that is?”
“She’s a friend of a past mistake of mine.”
“Well, if it isn’t I’m Too Busy to Go to the Cinema,”
“You lying bastard. You weren’t too busy. You had other plans.”
“You could’ve told us you had a date with your little girlfriend.”
He didn’t deny it, Shannon. He’s not denying it.
“But Shannon and I have been down that road before, and there’s no fucking way we’re going back there.”
“When we were small. Before the boys were born—when it was just Darren, Shannon, and myself—the three of us were put into care for six months.”
That’s how messed up my life was.
I could always depend on this fucker. Hail, rain, or snow, Gibsie had my back.
It was an intentional attack and it stung.
“If the shoe was on the other foot, and you did that with one of Bella’s friends right in front of her, she would lose it.”
You could love this girl your whole life, the crazy thought persisted inside my brain over and over, if you just let yourself.
Gibsie was looking at him, a murderous expression replacing his usual lopsided grin.
“And considering we were playing together when you decided to fuck me over, I find that hard to believe.”
“And I’m wondering what the hell possessed me to ever put my dick inside something so fucking poisonous.”
“Praise fucking Jesus,” I shot back sarcastically. “That’s the best news I’ve heard all year.”
“Bella’s my girlfriend now, and I won’t have you talking to her like that.”
LOL
“It means keep an eye on your teammates, lad,” I shot back. “Because that one’s not girlfriend material.”
“Now turn your ass around and take your little girlfriend back to the hole you both crawled out from.”
Bad fucking move on Ryan’s part.
“I have no fucking problem stepping in on Kav’s behalf and kicking the ever-loving shit out of your turncoat ass.”
“No, you were trying to get a rise out of him,”
“You were trying to fuck up his season.”
“Because you’re a jealous little prick and the Academy doesn’t want you.” “Push me one more tim...
This highlight has been truncated due to consecutive passage length restrictions.
“You and that bitch were trying to get one over on him because he doesn’t want her, and you can’t do it where it counts.”
“On the pitch.”
“You’re my best friend and this prick has been disrespecting you for months.”
“She stays the fuck away from me.”
Shannon—absolutely, but Bella? Not a chance.
“Bella was threatening to go after her,” I snarled. “If that happens, I will fuck you up.”
“Get off my car, asshole!” “You’re stealing my center,” Gibsie roared in the window as he leaned over the hood of the car. “Give him back.”
You two fuckers better not puke in this car.
“Go fuck yourself, Gerard.” “I was being sincere, Jonathan,”
“Hey.”
“Who the fuck are you guys?”
“Are you going to tell me about it?”
“Yeah, that’s never fucking happening.”
“Happy sweet sixteenth, Shan.”
