“What do you think, Summer? You want me to kiss you?” It’s the sexiest question I’ve ever heard in my life, voiced by the sexiest guy
“Remember the night we met?”
And the good thing about
Gilderoy Lockhart,
Hunter is the one I’m having dinner with tonight. Fitz is the one I kissed.” “I see. And you have feelings for both of them?” “Yes?”
“Summer.” His voice is low, tormented.
can’t speak the words for him, but if he doesn’t want me to go out with Hunter, then he has to tell me why. He needs to tell me why.
Chapter 24
I all but begged her not to go out with Hunter earlier, and she’d still walked out the door. And I’m sure she has questions for me, questions I’ll undoubtedly have a difficult time answering. Not because I don’t want to, but because I’m scared to.
Give me one thing. One vulnerable, real moment. And if you do, I’ll…” She purses her lips for a second. “I’ll tell you why I started the fire in my sorority house.” That gets my attention. It’s the first time she’s admitted that she’d intentionally set the fire.
“You’re not stupid, Summer. You have a learning disability. There’s a difference.”
I want tonight to be about just me and Summer.
We’ve gone back to our he-draws-me-while-I-write-my-essay routine,
The midterm is due in a few days, but I’m actually feeling good about it. Not saying it’s A-material, but I’d be perfectly content with a B or C.
Lord, he is hotter than a five-alarm fire.
“Jesus. I can’t get over it. You’re beautiful, but it’s the kind of beauty that’s so…unattainable. It’s otherworldly.”
The conversation flows, and there’s an ease between us that I’ve never experienced with another guy before.
We enter my room and I lock the door, shutting Summer up the only way I know how—by kissing her.
Yes you lock the door now so no one will walk in on you guys
The teasing tempo
I lie back and admire
Summer’s parents split their time between this surreal apartment and their mansion in Greenwich.
Summer and Dean’s parents
No matter how quiet we think we’re being when we have sex, I have no doubt both Hunter and Hollis are well aware that we’re sleeping together.
In unspoken agreement, Summer and I leave the ballroom.
I date chicks who are as introverted as I am, because then they don’t expect me to cut loose at parties or attend extravagant events like leukemia charity galas.
I didn’t mind that existence. It’s been nice and comfortable. Conflict- free. But I never felt truly alive until Summer.

“I’m sorry I cost you the job.” I shake my head at her. “You still don’t get it, do you? You didn’t cost me a job. Kamal Jain cost himself an employee. I’m a good designer. I’ll find something else, I promise. But I’ll never find another you.”
Her lips part in wonder. “That’s the sweetest thing you’ve ever said to me.”

“I’m not having kids

Ahh how sweet
