“I solemnly swear I’ll be up to good.” His eyebrows draw together. “Did you quote Harry Potter to me?” “Not really. I changed it up so it’s all me.”
Me
Fine is a woman’s equivalent to a land mine because you have absolutely no idea when or where that shit will explode.
I sense parent issues with this one.
Has LA ever written someone without parent issues???
I’m jealous of Santi. There. I put it out there. Maya spends the whole morning before the race with him, hanging out while I spend the day by myself. She hides who we are from him because she doesn’t want to upset him or inconvenience him before the final Prix.
Noah’s just a lonely lover boy who wants to hang out w his gf :(
“After spending time with people who care about me, I realized some things. People who love you spend time with you both on and off the track. They go to events and stay until the end to be around you because they want to. It’s not about whether you win or lose. I’m a World Champion and you treat me like a piece of shit on your shoe. Inconvenient and unwanted.”
“I really like you, Maya. I want to spend every day with you, both in here and out there once you let me. Will you be my girlfriend? Officially?”
“I didn’t fuck around with her. I love her. I’ll keep loving her through everything, no matter what you or anyone else says, or whatever you try to do to break us up. It’s insulting for you to even think I’d be with Maya to fuck around with your racing. She’s the end game. I don’t hook up with her for a shitty trophy, and sure as fuck not for a Championship win. I want everything with her. Everything after this.”
My man my man my man
“Santi, I’m sorry for lying to you and keeping my relationship with Noah a secret. I…I love him. And I don’t want to hide it anymore, like something shameful because it’s nothing close to that. I need to grow up, and you need to let me. Mistakes included. Not that I think this is one, but no matter what happens, I can’t live my life worrying about disappointing you, or Mami y Papi, or even myself. I love you, but I need to take a chance on my relationship, and you have to accept it.”
My jaw was on the floor
“I’m sorry for hiding it, but I’m not sorry for doing it in the first place. Don’t expect Maya to be either. I want to put it past us, because I love her, and I want to be with her. Forever. I can’t help my crappy past and decisions, but I can control my future. And she’s it.”
“I can’t help our burning love for one another,” Noah purrs with a dramatic clutching of his heart. Beautiful asshole.
Yup, that happened. Jax and Liam may have won the game, but these two won each other over, a seemingly impossible task.
Looks like I went to hell and back, scoring an angel along the way.
“Under all that attitude, you sure have the biggest heart.” “Sh. Don’t let anyone in on our secret.”
“If he breaks her heart, I’ll run him over with the car he loves more than anything.”
“Loved more than anything.” Noah sends me a wide smile that I save for my memories.
NOAH!!!!!!!!!!!! Can someone die of a heart attack at 26!!???
“But that’s a lie. Because this girl loves the guy. Like the ‘forever and always’ type of love. The ‘kids playing around outside while the parents have a quickie upstairs’ kind of love. Have you heard of that type?”
“It’s pretty insane. Can you imagine that kind of love? I can because I experience it. The story doesn’t end with a happily-ever-after because it starts with it. Because they have the rest of their lives to finish their story. Crazy, huh?”
I thought winning the World Championship was the best thing, the only goal I had for a long time. Shit, was I wrong. I realize today that the best thing includes winning with your loved ones.
