Kindle Notes & Highlights
“You, Gia, are a flirt. But one day… when you’re old enough, one day it will be our turn. Our time.”
“I’ll love you forever, G. Wherever I am in the world. Whatever I’m doing, it’ll always be you. I’m yours for as long as you want me. For as long as I’m good for you, I’m all yours.”
“But I want a little girl, and she’s going to be beautiful like you. So she’ll need at least two big brothers to protect her from boys like me.”
“Darlin’, do me a favour here. All you ladies in the crowd tonight have gotta appreciate the fact that I’m a one-woman type of bloke and I love my girl. I’ve loved my girl since the very first day I set eyes on her, and back then, she was just a girl. But I’ve had the pleasure these past few years of watching her grow into an absolutely beautiful young woman, and as much as I love touring and playing in front of you lot every night, I’m counting down the days till I’m back in England and in her arms.”
“This song people… This song is for all of you that are missing the ones you love. For all of you that, for whatever reason, can’t be with that one person you love most in the world. This song is for my girl. This song is for Gia. I love you, baby.”
“Georgia Rae Layton, I’ve loved you since the very first day I set eyes on you and your pink polka dot knickers. You are my world. I know we’re young, but I love you, Gia. I want to make beautiful babies with you. I know people are going to be against this, but they don’t know what we know, and they don’t feel what we feel. I want to grow old with you, G, and I want to marry you. Please, would you do me the honour of becoming my wife?”
“Next time you walk into my bar, you and I are going to find a quiet corner to sit and have a chat. And you, Kitten, are going to tell me all about the arsehole that made you so sad and so angry.”
“You’ll be back. If you’re not, I’ll just have to come and find you. Now, do as I say and go and have some fun. I want those eyes to have some light in them next time I see you.” He turned me around, smacked my arse, and sent me on my way.
“Of course I don’t, Kitten. I’d be fucking bankrupt if I bought every bird that walked through the door a bottle of Moët.” “So why me?” “Because I want to, and you always look so sad. That first time, when I gave the bottle to your friend, the loud one, Ashley, who works here. When you were drinking it, you smiled at me, and then you laughed and spilt your drink on your chin. And for a split second, you looked happy. I just wanted to see that spark in your eye again.”
“Why’d you care whether I’m happy or sad? What difference does it make to you?” “Because I own the bar, and I like my patrons to be happy. Now, are you gonna come for a fucking drink with me or not?”
“I’m going to kiss you, Georgia. I’m going to kiss you and then we’re going to leave because if we don’t leave the minute I stop kissing you, I’m going to drag you to your bedroom and fuck you senseless for the rest of the weekend.”
“There’s only him. It will always be him. There’s no room for anyone else. Wherever we go with this, you need to understand that my heart is sealed and there’s only him that’s locked inside.”
“But you don’t know me, Georgia. You haven’t had a chance to get to know me. If you let me, I’ll blow your mind, baby.”
