Wait for It

you so much, and I’m a mess, you know that.” “I know, baby.” He pulled me in closer to him with the hand on my spine. “It’s one of my favorite things about you.” Heaven help me. Heaven help me.

“Leave me alone,” he whispered. Anita’s head jerked back, her gaze going to the boy behind me. “Josh, I’m your mom.” That was the worst thing she could have said to him, and I wasn’t surprised how he reacted.

Yea bitch

“I’ve wiped your butt. You’ve thrown up on me. I’ve spent my weekends at your games screaming my voice sore. I’ve hugged you and loved you even when you haven’t been very nice. You’re my d-o-double-g. You’re the peanut butter to my jelly. The pain to my ass—”

sobbing at work PLS

He said he liked you—yuck.”

“One day during practice when we saw that dad talking to you, I told him I didn’t like you talking to him, and he said he didn’t either. So I asked him what we should do, and he said nothing because you were never gonna do anything with him and that one day soon, between me and him, none of those jackasses—he said it, not me, don’t get mad—would never bother you again.”

“I love you, Dallas,”

“You couldn’t feel more like mine if you tried,”

I wanted someone to love me like that. I wanted you to love me like that.” The hand he had on my side found my own hand, and he linked our fingers together. “I’m not rich and I’m not good-looking, but I could make you happy. We could make our own patched-up family.”

“Diana, I love you, and every bone in my body tells me that I’m gonna love you every day of my life, even when we want to kill each other.”

“When you’re old, I’ll hold your hand when we cross the street. I’ll help you put on your socks,” he promised. I started laughing, even as tears came into my eyes. “What if I have to help you put on socks?” “Then you’ll help me put on socks. And if I’m in a wheelchair and you’re not, I’ll give you a ride.” My tears spilled over as I laughed,

That time could be a month, or could be until we’re both in diapers, but I’ll be there.” “Diapers?” “Diapers,” he confirmed, leaning down to kiss my face three times. “I promise.”

“Hello, light of my life.” I scrunched up my nose. My heart was racing instantly from one beat to the next, from one blink of my eyes to the following one.

All I could do was blink. “Pink like Princess Peach.”

“It’s better if you don’t ask any more questions, hmm? Consider it one of your Christmas presents, baby.”

Omg he beat her ex teehee

“You’re damn right it’s the first of many.”
