“Get some sleep. And stop acting like a red dye–guzzling child. That’s not easy.” He turns to leave, not even annoyed enough to be angry. As dismissive of me as he’s always been. And that’s when I decide that if he’s going to play this game, I’m going to give him difficult. “It was Avery, wasn’t it?” He freezes, facing away from me. “What?” “She was the reason you stopped talking to me.”
Oof...
“That Tamryn is Hark’s stepmother.” “I…” I shake my head, disoriented. Remembering the way he disappeared into her room last night. The groan Nyota lets out is nothing but appalled. “God. I can’t. I—she has to be around Hark’s age.”
EEEWWWW she thought they were gonna fuck
“So, yeah. I did want to thank you for the gifts. But above all, I wanted to thank you for the orgasm. It was insanely good. Best sex I’ve ever had.”
Did they even have sex tho...
When I stick my head inside, it feels no less heavy than societal expectations. “Why do I have to put it on?” He casts a level look in my direction. “Because if we end up in an accident, I’d rather die than survive you.” My heart stops. Doesn’t restart for whole seconds. “That is…” “What?”
Boo to all of this
“You know what, Eli? Screw you. I’m not going to let you talk like that to me.” I stalk away, down the stairs of the patio, hating Eli, hating Paul, above all, hating myself for the way—
She is not concerned at all that shes doing all this meesiness during her brothers wedding... I know its supposed to be problematic but she is way too childish at 23 lowkey...
“I’ll be teaching at an elementary school.” I swallow. “I got my certification, and…”
Didnt she just say she didnt wanna be in academia...
“At least you are giving me agency. I’m not wholly sure why you’re siding with him, but—” “I’m not—it’s not about siding, Maya. I am just worried about the one who clearly has feelings.” I laugh. Then realize that he’s serious. “You think I don’t?”
Yikes... Not him putting the emotional duty on his 23 yr old sis to not break his Almost 40 yr old friends heart
“He’s married. To this theoretical physicist who works with Georgina Sepulveda.”
CROSSOVERRRRR
“Since the first day I met you, you have been the best thing in my life. And you weren’t even in it.”
Hes know her since she was a little kid tho....
The same stuff I’ve seen you do countless times in Eli’s kitchen.”
As a little kid...
