Write Me for You

by Tillie Cole

“I love love stories—the kind that has your heart leaping from your chest. Ones that change a reader’s life. Make them believe in true love. Soulmates. I want to write at least one great, epic love story that lasts through the ages.”

“Write me for you.” “What?” I whispered back in confusion. Jesse met my eyes, keeping just an inch from me as he searched them. “Write me for you. In your great love story. Fall for me.” He pressed his forehead against mine. “Allow me to fall for you. Write me for you.”

“I’m falling for you, Jesse Taylor. So hard. And more and more every day.”

“Cancer is trying to take me from this world.” My heart thudded on the ground. “I despise it. But I will forever be grateful that it led me to you.”

“I will choose you every time, in every universe. I choose you for me completely.”

“Junebug, if anything happens to me, I want you to look at the palm of your hand, the one that holds my heart, and know that I loved you more than anyone has ever loved before.” “Jesse,” June murmured. “You have been the biggest blessing in my entire life, Junebug. Not football, not anything…but you. I just want you to know that. If all we ever get is a few more weeks at this ranch, then it will be a life well lived.”

From the day we met, it was Jesse and June against the world. It still was. His achievements had been mine and mine were his.

“Team two for the win,”

“Group two has won, Junebug.” I raised my fist and bumped it to his. “Group two has won.”
