Kindle Notes & Highlights
Maddox Coulter was still an asshole behind a pretty mask. And I was the stupid girl who fell in love with her best friend.
His deep voice rolled down my spine. “Don’t fall for me, Lila. I’ll break you.”
“I solemnly swear not to be an asshole, but I’ll still think of sixty-nine ways of how I can dick you down every time you look at me or shake your ass my way.”
“Because I need the world to know they can’t mess with what’s mine.”
She was someone I wanted to protect. From the world. From me.
I realized Maddox Coulter was a little bit ruined, a little bit messy, a little bit broken -- a beautiful disaster. Like me.
She was the calm in my reckless life. I was the chaos in her peaceful one.
“Now, I have someone to lose, and I know it will break me. I know what it means to fear losing the person who means the most to you. That person has the power to destroy me.”
I took a deep breath and made my first promise to Maddox. “You won't lose me. Ever.”
his hand came into the line of my vision, and he showed me his pinky. “Promise?” he asked softly.
Pinky swear, me and you... forever.
Love was too simple of a word to describe it because love was black and white. Love or don’t love – there was not really an in-between. What we had… it was a kaleidoscope of colors.
Maddox and I against the whole world. Partners in crime and best friends.
“If I love you, I give you the power to destroy me. I’m not strong enough for that. I can’t be just another girl to you, Maddox. I need to be more; I deserve more, and I don’t think you can give that. I can’t risk us and what we are. We’re beautiful… just like this. Friends.”
