Kindle Notes & Highlights
“The brightest light shining during the darkest hour,” I smile. “That’s pretty good.” “I’m only doing my best work with you, Long Beach.” I smile, but my lips fall gradually. “What happens when the light dims? You’ll still be interested then?” “Oh yeah.” Oscar nods. “I’m every star circling around you. You need a spark, I’m there.” He says it like a promise.
A Secret about Akara Kitsuwon: my college-friend raved about Akara for four weeks after they hooked up. He restrained her to a headboard with rope and made her come five times.
His confidence is on a hiatus, and I’m about to bring it back. “You are legitimately the most endearing motherfucker on a first meeting. You could make polar icecaps melt.” He cracks a dim smile. “You could make all the stars in the sky fall for the sun.”
“Tell me a secret that you’ve never told anyone else.” We have a short window of time. Joana is at the door, but I take advantage of every single second. Holding his waist, I lean in and whisper, “Estou apaixonado por voçê.” I translate, “I’m in love with you.”
Fans should be making cupcakes with our mother-effing names and hoisting up posters that say, Oscar & Jack for All Time. All time. Not for a short time, not a long time. But for all fucking time.
I don’t feel like breathing tonight. Just give me Oscar.
Where’s Jack Highland going to land? In my arms, probably.
I’ve never been in a fistfight before. And I’m dating a boxer—no, I’m married to a boxer.
His love carries me through the barrel of every wave. I’m already up on the board. I’m coasting on these feelings. Riding them to shore.
