Only for the Week (The Forever Falling Series)

by Natasha Bishop

If there’s one thing men are never short on, it’s audacity.

“Do you make it a habit to sacrifice things that make you happy for others’ comfort?”

Resisting Janelle is like resisting the urge to breathe. It tears you apart from the inside out until there’s only fragments of you left.

I’m just happy to exist in your orbit.”

“I feel like I need you.

“You are my favorite drink.”

Water and books, that’s all I want.”

Me: No it’s me telling you plainly I’ll get you whatever you want and need whenever you want and need

“You don’t ever have to worry about me letting you fall, Janelle Lashaun Cross. Now sit.”

“I know you can, but when you’re in my presence you should never be reaching for your wallet.”

“Sometimes the people who are supposed to love you the most are the ones who hurt you the worst. They don’t get a pass just because they’re family. Choose yourself.”

I don’t waste time on men whose knees would buckle if he tried to pick me up.

PERIOD

If you don’t do things that scare you, how can you say you’ve really lived?
