Kindle Notes & Highlights
“You ever heard that enemies make the best lovers?”
“See how easy this is? You could have had me at your mercy, but instead, you’re at mine.”
Grabbing her wrist, I tug the phone close to my mouth as I look her in the eyes and say, “Fuck me, you’re lovely.”
“Talking to her made me feel my best.” And what happened in her room has nothing to do with the way she made me feel. A pleased smile curls on his lips. “Does this her have a name?” “Julianna Sparks.”
Your body for tutoring.
“Good…because you know how I feel about chapped lips.” “I do. So don’t worry, they’ll be soft only for you.”
“You don’t have to answer anything if you don’t want to.” I smile at him, hoping he knows I won’t be upset if he doesn’t. He shakes his head. “I don’t mind if it’s only with you.”
“The way I see you has nothing to do with what you do or don’t wear. There’s nothing ordinary or extraordinary in the way that I see you, because it’s all beyond beautiful. Truthfully, a single word can’t define how I see you. Nor will it explain it because the only way is through my eyes. I’m sorry there’s not a better word in the dictionary.”
“I’m in too deep, Julianna. Too fucking deep, that this”—I point at my chest, fisting my shirt close to my heart because it feels like it’s close to collapsing—“this doesn’t feel like mine! This goes manic when I’m around you. When I think about you. When I hear your voice. God, when I hear your voice, I fucking forget my own name. I forget it all, because when I hear it, when I hear you, it all disappears because nothing else matters. Nothing else exists!”
“There is no finding fun with anyone else. I’m sorry I worded it that way. I’m sorry I made you believe it was just fun, because it’s been much more than that for me. I wish I could tell you when it became more. I wish I could tell you when I fell so hard. I really wish I could, but I can’t. What I can tell you is that for the first time, falling doesn’t seem so bad if it’s only with you.”
I want is to lose someone I never had to begin with.”
“So this is nothing. If you want to cry or yell at me, then by all means please do it, please fucking fight with me. Please do what you want.” I swallow the thick emotions clogging my throat. “And while you’re at it, take my heart with you, because it doesn’t feel like mine anymore.”
“Be my Love?”
“I’ll be your Love, if you’ll be mine?”
If I could, I’d make sure you’d never have to experience that. I know that I never will, but I just want you to know that I’ll spend the rest of my life making sure you feel how enough you are, how needed and wanted you are, and how loved you are, because I love you.”
