Beautiful Mistake

“Don’t let that fool you. Looks can be deceiving. Salt looks a hell of a lot like sugar, sweetheart.”

With friends like me to cheer her up, she’d be on Prozac in no time.

“Because music expresses all the things people can’t say, but are impossible to keep quiet.”

It was that time of the month. Not the dreaded time, but the time I actually looked forward to.

And there was the observant thing again. He paid attention to women. Men who paid attention were good in bed.

“A woman’s needs always come before my own. And I enjoy every minute of taking care of those needs.” His eyes returned to mine, and he leaned in even closer. “She comes before me…multiple times.”

Turning around, I crashed into the same student again. “Seriously?” he said. “Jeez. You’ll live. Don’t walk so close behind people!”

I did a half-assed job of covering the receiver. “It’s Professor Tight Buns.”

“If I weren’t your professor and you weren’t a nice girl, your re-virginized pussy would be sore as hell right now.”

And three, name’s Davis.” He shrugged. “It’s a stupid name.”

took me on a picnic in the park once.” Caine scoffed. “That’s not romantic. He sounds like a wimp.”

“I don’t do romance,” he said. “I prefer fucking like animals to picnics in the park.”

I was like a drug addict, and each burst of his anger was my fix. I wanted more.

The man could get me so damn angry. It was like a switch flipped inside of me and I turned into some psycho bitch I didn’t recognize.

“You’re that song. I don’t know any of the words, but the tune is so damn familiar.”

Ava grinned. “Pissed-off sex is the best. Fuck me like you hate me.”

God, forget peanut butter and jelly. There is no better combination than a dirty mouth and sexy suit.

“Together. It just works. I felt it the first night we met. Just didn’t want to accept it.”

“We all make mistakes. Life doesn’t come with instructions. Someone who loves you will forgive you for them. But when you hide them or lie about them, they’re no longer mistakes—they’re decisions.”

But in the long run, it’s better to hurt someone with the truth than make them happy with lies. Because she can make the decision to move on with the truth. Lies keep you stuck in place.”

“You don’t get to tell me what I deserve. I get to choose what I want.”

“Move on without him. A man comes to his senses really quick when he thinks you’re not waiting around for him anymore.”

“There is no such thing as coincidence. Coincidence appears to be a remarkable concurrence of events that have no plausible connection. But there is always a connection. God is always the connection.”

“I have to try because I love you, Rachel. I’m so fucking desperately in love with you.”
