As luck would have it, he’s definitely male.
betting this is a love interest
Broad shoulders create a strong contrast to the fragile way he’s holding his head in his hands.
I can’t help but notice how unfortunately cute he is.
called it smh
he leans against the railing next to me.
MY FIRST ENCOUNTER WITH THE BOOKTOK LEAN
Your boyfriend live here or something?”
I KNOW WHAT U ARE
Stylish, well spoken, and smart. And smokes pot.
“Wow,” he says, shaking his head. “You’re kind of my hero. You just roasted a dead guy.”
“I want to fuck you.” My mouth falls open. Then I clamp it shut again. I think I might be speechless.
ME TOO GIRL WHAT
I like that he had the urge to remember what I look like, even though he knows he’ll never see me again.
I addressed each of my entries to Ellen DeGeneres,
I hate that he’s Allysa’s brother. I have a feeling this isn’t the last time I’ll be seeing him.
oh how terrible would that be
commiserate
express or feel empathy
He reached over and tucked my hair behind my ear. I liked it when he did that and I suddenly wasn’t nearly as mad anymore.
“I’m really good at it, Lily,” he says with a grin. “You’ll barely even have to do any work.”
No time. Nope. Busy girl, here. I am a brave and bold businesswoman with zero fucks to give for men in scrubs.
“I want these,” he says, setting them on the counter. I smile, wondering if he realizes he just picked lilies. Kind of ironic.
riding crop
a whip!
“I’m Devin!” he yells over the music. “I’m Lily’s sexual partner!”
GIRL GAY PPL WOULD NOT ACT LIKE THIS
The air is cold, and for some reason, I blame that on Ryle. Everything is his fault tonight. All of it. Wars, famine, gun violence—it all somehow links back to Ryle.
“Ugh! You’re driving me crazy! Do you want me or do you not?” He stands up straight and takes a step toward me. “Oh, I want you, Lily. Make no mistake about that. I just don’t want to want you.”
When he sees the look on my face, he just nods and begins to make his way across the room toward me.
thats a true friend T_T
I look at Devin and shake my head, wide-eyed. Devin just smirks and says, “Be my guest.” Traitor!
mwheheheh
And the reason I sent you flowers this week is because I am really, really proud of you for following your dream. But if I sent you flowers every time I’ve had the urge to send you flowers, you wouldn’t even be able to fit inside your apartment.
He laughs and grabs my hand, sliding his fingers through mine.
When he was wiping that cow shit on me, it was quite possibly the most turned-on I have ever been.
jaw = dropped
And people like my father are the problem. Instead of helping others, people use the worst-case scenarios to excuse their own selfishness and greed.
“Lily?” he whispers, looking at me sincerely. “You just might be the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”
Lily, I’m having serious withdrawals. —Ryle
Occasionally when it was just the two of us, I saw glimpses of how a normal relationship with a father could be. Sitting at the kitchen table with him discussing colleges and career choices and high school. As much as I hated him most of the time, I still longed for more of these moments with him.
I realized that maybe a lot of people are just doing it wrong. Because what’s happening between us doesn’t feel like a responsibility. It feels like a reward. And I’ll fall asleep wondering what I did to deserve it.
Mom: A doctor, Lily? AND your own business? I want to be you when I grow up. I screen-shot that one, too.
“Hello?” “Hey, girlfriend,” he says. I smile cheesily at the sound of his voice. “Hey, boyfriend.”
I opened the bag and pulled out the best present I’d ever received. It was a magnet that said “Boston” on the top.
“Lily,” he says with stoic composure. “I would marry the hell out of you.”
“What if, whenever we decide to have a baby, I promise to do it the natural way and not buy one in Vegas?”
“It overlooks the same view as the rooftop deck,” he says. “We’ll always have the same view we had from the night we met.”
AWWWW
People spend so much time wondering why the women don’t leave. Where are all the people who wonder why the men are even abusive?
“In the future… if by some miracle you ever find yourself in the position to fall in love again… fall in love with me.”
As his sister, I wish more than anything that you could find a way to forgive him. But as your best friend, I have to tell you that if you take him back, I will never speak to you again.”
thank. you.
