Eleven Eleven

11:11 I close my eyes and make a wish. I wish for this move to be the right thing.

“Don’t overthink it. Everything is temporary anyway. Me. You. The stars in the sky. We’re all just a blip. Take the risk. I’m worth your while.”

“Because you were sitting there with this lonely look in your eyes.” He brushes a thumb along my jawline. “I wanted to be the reason you didn’t feel that way anymore.”

“Fuck, look at us, angel. Look at the way your pussy grips my cock. It’s like I belong inside you.”

Sometimes we have to go through something awful to finally take a risk on ourselves.

“Night, Via.” He pulls back, but with an “oh,” he quickly ducks close again and brings his lips to my ear. “I can fuck you better than my dad ever could.”

I’m going to ruin you, Via, the same way you’ve ruined me. No man is ever going to make you feel this good. Not the way I can.”

“Sometimes, even if you don’t know every detail about a person, they can light up your soul.”

“Because I don’t want to have to tell our future kids that I fucked their mom on the first date.”

“Careful, now’s not the time for me to find something to stuff in your mouth.”

it takes a good friendship to establish a solid foundation. I don’t want to only be your lover. I want to be your person. The one you go to first. The one you think of when you wake up. The one … just the one.”

“Because I wanted to see you.” The words are barely a whisper. “Because I like spending time with you. Because I smile every time I see a text from you. Because I fucking like you, Reid. Is that good enough?”

When I’m with him, I feel like I’m where I belong.”

“When you are ready, I’m going to say it over and over again until the day I die, and I’m going to show you with my body exactly what it means to me.”

“You brought color back into my life. Everything was dull before you. You’ve made me so unbelievably happy, Reid. When I thought of Color Me Happy, it felt right.”
