“No,” I say, shaking my head. “I want you to feel what you’re doing to me, sweetheart. Then maybe you’ll see that none of this is for show.”
“How many times are you going to fall into me, Cat?” he murmurs before setting me straight. I brush off my shoulders as if he’s left a mark there. “How many times are you going to catch me?” I retort. “As many times as it takes,”
It feels like I’m worshipping her, and she needs to be worshipped.
“I’d do anything you want me to. All you have to do is ask.” “Then kiss me.” “I’ll kiss you,” I confirm, “But not like this.”
“Whatever happens, this is going to be worth it.” “What makes you so sure of that?” “Because it’s you, Catherine. Anything and everything you do is perfect. I don’t see why this would be any different,”
“You look like that, and you expect me to be normal? And, not to mention, you had your tongue down my throat a mere three days ago. So, excuse me if I want to do more than just walk with you to this stupid interview.”
“I want to be very, very unprofessional with you, sweetheart.”
“Don’t use the word ‘wet’ when you’re talking about my girl,”
“Nah, I’m saving these for the right girl.
Everything about her feels like it was made just for me.
me. “Catherine likes me,” I whisper into her neck, blowing a raspberry and she laughs, gasping for air. I plant more kisses across her face and neck until she’s covered with me. “You like me. You like me. You like me.”
now that I finally have her, I want to show her exactly what it’s like to be mine. To be worshipped. To be cared for and looked after.
“I think I’d do anything for her,”
“I’d give her anything she wants. Every part of me. If she asked me to move the fucking world, I’d do it,” I say, my chest aching just at the thought.
They say that when you know, you know.

“I was watching a movie and I lost track of time.” “I don’t believe you,” she mumbles. “Well, you should.” “Why?” “Because I was watching it for you,”
“I wanted to impress you, so we could have something more to talk about.”
“We always have something to talk about, Connor.” “I know, but I wanted something just for us, you know. Something special,”
She gives me these little pockets of information, tiny pieces of herself that I just want to treasure forever.
“Sometimes, I just like telling you things.” “And I like listening.”
“I could listen to you talk all day, Cat, and I don’t think I’d ever get bored.”
“I don’t think I’ve ever been more sure of anything in my life. When you talk to me, everything goes quiet. The noise in my head doesn’t exist anymore and it’s just… You.”
“You’ve got to stop doing that thing where you don’t let good things happen to you because you’re scared.”
and if the smutty romance books have taught me anything, I shouldn’t run out of any ideas.
“I don’t think I can even think straight,” he whispers, “You’ve ruined me, Cat.”
“Shut up.” “Make me.”
Pauline is the one I have to thank for turning my Catherine into the person that she is today.
Everyone needs somebody sometimes and that’s fine.
“I mean, if you don’t want me to, I can just watch. I like watching you. Wait. No. That sounds creepy. I just mean—”
I realise just how badly I’ve fallen for her.
I don’t feel like it’s even a stage. It already feels like forever.
it’s only fair that I get on my knees for you too, Catherine.”

goals.
“Do you talk to your dad about me, Connie?”
I look up at him and he’s looking down at me like I'm the brightest star in the galaxy. The small tug of a smile on his lips makes me realise just how hard I’ve fallen for him.
“What about you, Con? Are you dating anyone? How’d things go with the girl you asked me for advice on?” I actually choke this time, spluttering like a complete fool. All the Bailey’s look at me like I’m crazy and I pull up a glass of water to my lips, trying to sip discreetly. “Sorry,” I mutter, turning to Connor. “You asked your dad for advice on a girl? How sweet.” “She must be pretty special if you asked for his advice,” Emma mutters and Nora snorts. Connor’s eyes hood as he tilts his head at me. “Yeah,” he drawls, his hand moving further up my thigh. My whole body comes alive from his

I feel beautiful. Luminescent.
“You’re my girlfriend, Catherine. I thought that was obvious. I’m yours and yours only. You’re the reason I want to get up in the morning just so I can make you smile. I want to be around you all the time. I’ll hold your hand if that’s what you like. I’ll take you on as many dates as you want. I’ll be the best you’ve ever had.”
“What?” I ask. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
“I just can’t believe that I have you now.”
“You are crazy, Connie.” “Yeah, I'm crazy for you.”
“When you want to make a real home, a small house or a big one, make one with me. Please.” “I’ll hold you to that, Connie,”
i can't believe i'm crying over this.
“Have a good Christmas. I lo–” My heart almost crashes straight through my ribs. Was I just about to say that I loved him for the first time over the phone? That’s crazy. There’s no way I’ve already fallen that hard for him. “Cat?” he asks, his voice low as I try to collect myself. “I love the weather,” I blurt out. “You know the crunchy leaves, the dark sky, the way I can see my breath in the air, I love it all. So much.” He laughs a little, and I can imagine him throwing his head back. “I love the weather too, Cat. So much you don’t even know.” We both know what he’s talking about, but he

Growing up, I’ve always felt like I wasn’t as pretty as everybody else because I’m not white, blonde and skinny,
Like, I feel light-headed whenever I’m around you. Can you even comprehend how insanely maddening it is to just be in your presence?”
“Do you want to know what mine is?” “Okay.” “It’s to make you the happiest girl on the planet,”
“I’ll do the same for you,” I whisper, my voice shaking. “That’s how this works, isn’t it?” “That’s exactly how this works.”
“We all know I’ve not dated anyone since Toby Fisher in the fifth grade and that barely lasted a week.”
yo.
To my Catherine. Twenty roses for your twentieth. I am so proud of you everyday. You’re my favourite person ever. Love from, Connie.
“Oh my god. I’m sorry. I probably have really bad morning breath.” “Don’t care.” He shakes his head, pulling my fingers from my face and wraps his hand around my neck, pressing our lips together again. “Kiss me whenever you want, baby.”
