Kindle Notes & Highlights
My bag hit the floor, spilling overpriced books and pens across the shiny floor. My pens! My glorious pens rolled everywhere. A second later I was pressed against the wall. The wall was strangely warm. The wall chuckled. “Whoa,” a deep voice said. “You okay, sweetheart?” The wall was so not a wall.
“I am so incredibly envious of you right now. I would give my left testicle to run into Cameron Hamilton.”
“There’s nothing wrong with staring at me. I like it.”
“We are your friends. It is the law of friendship that you tell us things you don’t want to tell us.”
“I’m confident enough in my masculinity and sexuality that I can say that Ryan Gosling is just dreamy in this movie.”
“Look at me.” When I didn’t, he repeated it. “Dammit, Avery, look at me.”
My brain was telling me this was a bad idea and I told my brain to shut the fuck up, because it rarely told me anything helpful. I took a breath.
When he looked at me, his eyes positively twinkled. Christ. I was screwed. Eyes were twinkling at me.
“Fuck, Avery. You think I don’t want you?” His voice came out low, almost a growl. “There’s not a single part of you that I don’t want, you understand? I want to be on you and inside of you. I want you against the wall, on the couch, in your bed, in my bed, and every fucking place I can possibly think of, and trust me, I have a vast imagination when it comes to these kinds of things. Don’t ever doubt that I want you. That is not what this is about.”
“I have time for you, Avery.” He met my gaze with a steady one. “You want to talk to me, I’m here. I’ve been here. And I’m listening.”
“You’re not doing this by yourself. Hell to the motherfucking no,”
“If he says something ignorant, I cannot promise I will not lay him out right here, right now,” Cam warned in a low voice.
Either there was a perverted ghost in my bedroom or Cam was wide awake.
Everything was okay. Maybe not perfect, but life wasn’t meant to be perfect. It was messy and sometimes it was a disaster, but there was beauty in the messiness and there could be peace in the disaster.
