Kindle Notes & Highlights
“You can have me here,” I whispered. “Just not out there.” “I want you every-fucking-where.”
“I’ll never be your friend.” The words came out fast with fury. “I’ve told you I love you; I’ve promised myself to you. I want to marry you…not be your friend.” She gasped at my confession, yet I continued on. “You’ve always been my girl, my girlfriend, my future wife. Nothing less. Don’t you get that? I promised you forever, Kee.”
“Because I could only look at you all night.” He combed a hand through his thick hair. “I’ve been with her for two years, and it’s been damn near fifteen years without you,” he said, and his voice suddenly held all the pain I felt. “And yet I hear your voice on that stage, look at you singing, and I still only want you.”
“I won’t stop until I have you. You know that, Kee. I won’t stop till I get you out of my fucking system.”
You’re not marrying anyone but me.”
“Now, want me fuck you nice, like this means something, or fuck you rough, like I hate you for all you’ve done?”
“Just do what’s real, Dex. I want the real thing with you.”
I wanted a Marilyn Monroe classic, not Big Bird from Sesame Street at the club.”
“Delulu is the new you-you,”
“We’re going to be the death of each other. I’m going to drag you to hell, Kee, and neither of us will be able to save the other from the fire.”
Not a sweet girl but the damn firework you always were to me.”
“You’re. Mine. My future wife. Fucking mine. You might perform for the world, Kee, but they’ll only ever get a sliver of a version of you. I’m going to take all of you from now on.”
“You taste like mine, Kee. Like you were always mine and like you’ll be mine forever.”
“Reminders are there so we can learn and prepare for the future. They mark us and tattoo a memory into our soul for reference.”
I’m marrying you because you’re mine. This pussy is mine. Your heart, your soul, this is all mine.” He stared at the cameras as he said it. “And no one fucks with what is mine.”
“I think I might be falling in love with you, Dex.” “Well, good. At least the fall is starting for you. I’m so far down the hill, I need you to catch up at some point.
“We do huge things for family though right? And you’re family. You’re mine. I’ll go to hell and burn there for all I care. You think I won’t?”
Can’t you already tell what you taste like?”
“You taste like you’ll be forever mine.”
My heart probably fell all the way in love with him at that moment, jumping right off the cliff without being concern...
This highlight has been truncated due to consecutive passage length restrictions.
So what would you do if you knew you were going to burden someone with your life, Dex? Someone you loved?” “If I loved them?” he said, his eyes holding mine. And when I nodded, his dimples showed because he knew just as well as me that I was telling him I loved him right then and there. “I’d let them choose, heartbreaker. Let someone you love choose to hold that burden with you.”
I’ll make the world bleed if it hurts you.
