“It was a long time ago.” “Doesn’t make it any less sad or me any less sorry.”
If I’d heard some man talking about you, I would have probably done worse.”
“No, I meant wow.”
“It makes me feel better that you don’t do that, but I can come get you. It doesn’t matter if it’s late,”
Or that you don’t have a safe way to get home. I will come get you, that’s all.”
“You told me to call you at eight-thirty to make sure you were up.”
And what do you think? Me: You didn’t deny it!
“Because I wanted to know if you were into me…too.”
Talk to me and tell me what’s going on.” His voice is soothing and calms my nerves. “It’s not about the kids,” I admit. “That’s okay. Tell me what’s wrong, Elianna.”
“Elianna, you’re more than welcome to stay. I didn’t think I needed to say that. You saw Isla’s picture, right? I’m sorry to tell you, you’re officially family.”
“You’ve had to be strong for people your entire life. Who’s strong for you?”
I know my family loves me but they haven’t always been my strongest support system. Sometimes I feel like I love them the way they need to be loved but they don’t do the same for me.
“You said you haven’t always been able to take what you want because you’re always worried about everyone else. I’m asking you to take what you want. Don’t worry about anyone else but you.”
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
“But I fucking need you.”
“Use your words.”

“You are so beautiful,” I tell her. “You make me feel so beautiful. No one’s ever looked at me the way you do.”
Yeah, Elianna, I was fucking jealous,”
“I can’t believe a man was lucky enough to touch you and wasn’t begging you to let him do this.”
Fucking honored that I get to be the first man to do it.”
“Keep those eyes on me. I want to watch you come while I’m tasting it.”
“Good girl. Give me what I fucking want, Elianna.”
“I hate that no one has taken care of you.”
“Knowing that I’m the only man that’s ever licked your hot little cunt has made me fucking feral, Ellie.”
“I can’t believe you’re mine.”
“Hi, beautiful.”
“Finally. I’ve been thinking about kissing you all day.”
We don’t have to do anything, I just…like being near you, and I spend so much time away from you.
Remember I told you he was drowning?” He nudges my shoulder. “It’s like you threw him a life raft in more ways than one.”
You make me want to be better for them and for me. We will work all of this out, but I’m not letting you leave us.” I press my lips softly to hers. “That includes me, by the way.” “I don’t want to…and even before I didn’t mean a break for forever.” “I’m not letting you get away at all. Not even for a second.”
“I don’t care about any of them. I care about the way you look at me.”
“You’re upset and I want to be there for you. I’m also a bit worried about you traveling alone while you’re like this.
So, if you need to move here to be closer to your family then we’re coming with you because you’re our family.”
“I asked you once who was strong for you while you were being strong for everyone else and…I want to be that person. I love you and I’ll be strong for you. Forever, if you let me.”
