Kindle Notes & Highlights
Chaos is the only thing that makes me stop and stare. It’s a pause button to my brain.
I learnt silence before I learnt talking. Silence gives you room to think, to plot. Talking only gets you in trouble.
I grin. “I want to be your first.” “My first in what?” My thumb wipes the moisture under her eyes. “In everything, Butterfly.” “Then I want your firsts, too.” She juts her chin. “Promise me.” “Promise.”
“Hate me all you want, but keep our promise. All your firsts are mine.”
Bro this is coming from a 11 year old?????
No. It’s not only her lips that I haven’t been able to stop staring at. It’s her. All of her.
I’ve always thought sleep is a waste of time. Why sleep when you can read?
Sick. Maybe. Probably. And part of my sickness is her. My Butterfly. My chaos.
I betrayed my own principles. My beliefs. My parents. And it’s all because of him. Cole.
“Happy birthday, Butterfly,” he whispers against my ear. “You’re now mine.”
“Because she’s mine now.” My throat closes around the word. Mine. How long have I waited to say that out loud? Years. Fucking years.
We’re opposite that way. I don’t care, but I appear as if I do. She cares, but she pretends she doesn’t.
“Because you’re the reason I look forward to new days.”
That’s the problem with Silver… It’s impossible to get enough of her. I have no pause or stop button when it comes to her.
You made me obsessed with you to the point I can’t fucking breathe until I see you.”
“They weren’t you, Butterfly. No one is you.”
Everything in my life has turned around and revolves around her. One way or another.
“Well, here’s the thing, Butterfly.” He leans over and brushes his lips against my nose. “I don’t mind self-destructing if it’s with you.”
“You’re sick,” I tell him. “You love it.”
I might be his chaos, but he’s also mine. My chaos and my safety.
“Because I love you, Cole. I’ve been in love with you since you found me in the park that day and pulled my hair and told me you wanted my firsts. I’ve loved you more through the years, and I hated every time I had to face the reality that I couldn’t be with you.”
We’re kinky, we’re dorks, we’re nerds. Or, rather, Cole is. We’re in love. We’re happy.
Our story might not have started in the best way possible, but we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Silver is mine and I’m hers. In the past. In the present. In the future. Always.
