“Hurry up, ginger snap. Let’s get this misunderstanding cleared up so we can be friends.”
he gave me an odd look, like the idea of us doing anything after this together was ludicrous. Silly little ginger snap. We would be doing all kinds of things together after this… he just didn’t know it yet.
“Excuse me? A word, please,” I growled. “Of course. I’m all ears. What’s up?” the man asked, seeming genuinely thrilled that I wanted to talk to him. I scowled. “Alone.” He brightened even further, leaping to his feet.
“Couldn’t wait to get me alone, baby?”
I love when the little psychos in the books are so unhinged and don’t understand that the object of their obsession is not coming onto them
It seemed I had a brat on my hands, which was literally my favorite. I loved it when they fought back. I got to punish them and teach them their place.
Ryan wanted to be good. I saw it when he finally realized he was going to lose the fight in the hallway and begged me to let him go. I would make sure to teach him just how far begging would get him… though it did concern me that he seemed to think he was straight.
I was fine with him being a little grumpy raincloud, but I wouldn’t be disrespected or allow him to call me names.
“I’m not the devil, Ryan Fairview. I’m your fucking god, and you will beg me for forgiveness,”
Operation ‘Win Ryan’s Heart’ was off to one of the rockiest starts to ever rockily start.
Maybe explain the trigger thing so he understands. It’s not really an excuse. You can’t use your mental health as a valid reason for being a huge dingus, Cal. You still owe him and will need to make it up to him… but at least it will help him understand why you totally lost your mind.”
But after that, the right thing to do would be to leave him alone if he doesn’t want to have a relationship with you, Cal.” “That’s not fair! I want him,” I complained, and she rolled her eyes.
“Honestly, if you were anyone else, I probably would have just killed you. I think I did that because, if you haven’t noticed, I have a huge crush on you.”
Constant video surveillance of my little ginger snap would have to do for now, at least until I could convince him that he was in love with me.
Until he admitted that we were together, I didn’t want him to know about the live feeds I had installed in his house. I had a feeling he would be mad about it and make me take them down.
Maybe because I’ve never seen him look at someone the way he looks at you.” Omg. Swoon.
“Look at us! Pimping out our siblings for personal gain. We’re so charming.”
He was mine. As much as he didn’t have a choice in it, neither did I. So, the only option here was to make it clear that he was officially off limits to anyone else.
He was so cute and confident. He even used his ‘businessman voice’ on me, like that made him the boss or something. I just wanted to pinch his fucking cheeks!
This isn’t me. I’m always put together. I never have to worry about the business because I always have it under control. I always have a plan.” He cut me a hard look. “You, Cal, were not part of my plan.”
In the words of the infamous Ariana Grande — I see it, I like it, I want it, I got it. I saw Ryan. I liked Ryan. I wanted Ryan. I got Ryan. If someone tried to take Ryan from me, I would just delete them. Murder ‘em. Wipe ‘em off the face of the fucking planet.
He always tried to act like he didn’t like me, but just seeing how upset he was about the idea of me growing up in that shitty cage made me feel like, deep down, maybe he did care. What a precious little bean.
Instant. Fucking. Fireworks. The second our lips touched, it was like the earth stopped spinning. My entire body reacted to his touch like it always did, and lightning exploded through my veins.
Cal was the dark angel I’d been waiting my whole life for. He was here, and he was broken.
He had his little grumpy scowl on his face. The one that made a crease between his perfect eyebrows. I just wanted to smooth it out with my thumb and then annoy him until it came back.
“Fine. I won’t hunt down and kill the kids that gave you a hard time. I promise.” Just because I couldn’t kill them didn’t mean I couldn’t hurt them real bad. Right?
I had thought for sure that if I worked hard enough, they would finally see the real me, and I would be able to escape the horrible labels they had slapped on me since I first came to this stupid school.
“If you have to lie to me to get your way, then that should be a pretty good indicator that your idea is fucking stupid!”
“If you need a minute, I can handle the guests while you get your overwhelming love for me under control.”
This was the most interesting conversation I’d ever had in my life. How fucking rad was this? My boyfriend could see dead people!
You’re my lil’ spooky ginger boy, and I love the shit out of you.”
