Sinful Like Us (Like Us, #5)

He starts venting about the Rooster, and I think I mishear Akara. My feet drop to floor, blown forward. Glaring at my phone. “He what?” “He jerked away after touching the hair on her leg.”

Oooo both her boys getting mad for her 😏

“Sul and I have never flirted.” They’ve flirted. Hell, I’ve flirted with the girl. She’s funny, competitive, a fucking smokeshow,

Hahaha......

“It’s comfort food.” Worry widens her gaze, but she takes a readying breath and lowers on the seat. “You think I need comforting?” I sit across from my girlfriend. “Not just you. This won’t be easy for me either.”

He needs to preface this by telling her that's it's nothing about their relationship. My anxiety would be through the roof if he didn't say that to me

I realize, pasta is my comfort.

Same

“Mr. Moretti, will you spend the rest of your life with me?” His mouth breaks apart. He looks stunned. “I’m asking you to marry me,” I clarify. He smiles. Ladies and gentlemen, a full-blown smile that overtakes his face.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I don’t understand what he’s doing until he drops down to one knee.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

As I lace her left hand in mine, we stare at one another, drinking each other in, and I say, “You’re going to be my wife.”

Crying

I remember Akara’s words. Don’t worry about it, he said.

He's def gonna get fired before then

The Phantom of the Opera

Ayyyeeeeee

Looks like I’m a father of six—now seven—cats.

Aw Thatcher

I smell something… I sniff the air. My pulse shoots back up, and I narrow my gaze on the door. Filmy lines of smoke billow underneath and spill into the room.

So his "nightmare" was actually his older brother looking out for them

Jane quickly sets the cup on a tray table, and I watch her walk to the corner of the room. She drags over a stepstool and climbs up. A foot taller, she reaches my exact height.

That's cute

I can protect my wife. That’s what she’ll be. My wife.

Love
