Kindle Notes & Highlights
I secretly think the book was better. The book is always better.
She hesitates. “We need to finish this conversation.” “We will,” I promise. “At home.” Her teeth dig into her lip. “Brenna and I are meeting friends at the bar.” “Then we’ll talk at the bar. Or afterward. Right now, you need to go.” Summer nods. She stands on her tiptoes, gives me a kiss on the cheek, and then she’s gone. * * * I’m a pussy. I don’t go looking for Summer after the game, and I don’t go to Malone’s. I also don’t go home. Like an asshole, I get in my car and drive to Boston.
“I like cuddling naked with you.” “Me too,” I say gruffly. “I like having sex with you.” Her breath heats my left nipple, making me shiver. “I like you, period. I like you a lot.” “I…” My mouth goes dry. I almost say ‘ditto’ and then realize how dismissive that sounds. So I say the next best thing—nothing. Because that’s how I roll.
And then she babbles on about Daphne and alcohol poisoning and someone stealing Daphne’s clothes, and I follow her up the stairs and try to keep up until my eyes finally glaze over. We enter my room and I lock the door, shutting Summer up the only way I know how—by kissing her.
Why do we do this as women? Why do we feel the need to justify why we don’t like someone?
