Addicted for Now (Addicted #3)

I want our reunion to be epic—The Notebook worthy.

I am not one-hundred percent okay.

He whispers, “Please don’t lie to me.”

He’s a lifeline I cannot quantify or articulate.

“We’re going to beat this together.”

I’m so compulsive about intercourse and foreplay that limits have to be set,

but following them will be the hardest part of my journey.

“My terms,” he whispers,

He’s a man that I want to take advantage of every minute of the day.

And I’m going to move so slow that three months ago will feel like yesterday. And tomorrow will feel like today, and no one in this fucking universe will be able to say your name without saying mine.” And then he kisses me, so urgently,

“I’m yours,” he tells me. “I will always be yours,

“My eyes, love, not my cock,”

“You’ll just want it even more if you know it’s forbidden.”

“I shouldn’t be surprised. The stench smells exactly like you.”

I’m here, ready to fuck with him the same way he fucked with her.

Because you’re two nerd stars, orbiting and meant to kiss.

I thought that every video I bought her was one less dick she would ride.

This is one of those moments where someone hands you a joint and you have to make a choice to either pass it on or take a puff.

There’s no sleep for the wicked.

I want the satisfaction of hurting you the way you’ve hurt me. – Unknown

I’ll find you, you motherfucker. Don’t ever doubt that.

“You touch her, you even think about her, and I’ll have you in the ground before you can say thank you,

He is as much a part of me as the sun is a part of the sky, as the Earth is to the universe.

There is no college course to “be a better friend” or “be a less shitty human being.” Or else I would be signed up for both.

“We all have secrets; the ones we keep, and the ones that are kept from us.”

We have lived together, loved together, and fucked up together.

“One day, you're going to have to make a choice. You have to decide what kind of man you want to grow up to be.

Whoever that man is, good character or bad, is going to change the world.”

I’m not going to be the villain of my own story. That shit is done.

I’ll remember this moment, how long it took me to right what I had done wrong.

“Sometimes the person we think we’ll become is the person we already are, and the person we truly become is the person we least expect.”

She is my past, my present, my future.

“I confess, that I’d very much like to make love to you.”
