“Do not let someone else’s bullshit stand in the way of what you want.”
“I only spend time with people I enjoy. I only do things I want to do. I only have sex with people who get me off. So, my time is never wasted, and my energy stays high.”
“Okay, twin!” I called behind him, watching his childbearing hips as he walked away. “Sir, you too are a fat bitch!”
“All I’m saying is that you’ve never used the word ‘exquisite’ before.” “A bitch can’t use a thesaurus nowadays?”
“Those aren’t baby hairs. Those are adult hairs. They got bad knees and a pension.”
“When I argued with that guy, you had my back the whole time!” I argued. “And I’m going to always have your back in public.” He grabbed my hand and brought it to his lips as we made our way toward the Ferris wheel. “And I’ll call you on your shit in private.”
Although I’d seen him in the shower, I’d never had him tower over me while he was soaking wet. I liked it. I liked it a lot.
But it hit me that he would be the one I would spend my life with when I realized I felt like my most free, my most peaceful, my most authentic self. I found someone who makes life fun. And that’s harder to do than it sounds, because it’s easy to have fun doing fun things. But to have fun riding in the car, going to the grocery store, just sitting and talking.” She swooned. “He brings out this childlike quality in me, and at the same time he brings out the badass woman in me. That type of love is so effortless. When you love someone effortlessly, it’s everything.”
“When I say you’re my escape, I mean you’re my freedom.” He cupped my face. “When I say you’re my escape, I mean I can be myself with you.” His mouth hovered over mine. “When I say you’re my escape, I mean that whenever and wherever we’re together, it’s the only place I want to be.”
“The man for you is going to love everything about you.”
His kiss quieted the noise in my head, the despair in my heart, and the churning in my belly.
The stress, anxiety, dread, and guilt melted away with each brush of his lips.
