Lyrical (Academy of Stardom, #2)

by Bea Paige

Someday soon the pin is going to be removed and I’ll detonate. Maybe then I’ll finally be at peace or at the very least, dead.

I’d willingly burn up in your flames, and suffocate in your ashes, if it meant I could hold you close again. If it meant you’d let me in. Zayn.

I don’t give a fuck what made you leave, only how to fix this distance between us. I’m here when you’re ready to talk. I won’t push you, but I’m not backing off either. The others can do what they want. You were mine first, so it’s only right you’re mine first again.

“Dancing with you is a gift, Pen. Loving you an inevitability,”

There have only ever been two obsessions in my life. I’m dancing one of them and looking at the other.

My beautiful fucking girl.

She’s the only woman who’s ever made me feel weak and fucking invincible at the same time. My Kid. Fucking mine.

“Fuck, Kid. Do you know how much I love you?” “How much?” I whisper, my heart soaring. “It’s a tear-the-sky-down-and-rip-a-man-to-shreds-for-even-looking-at-you amount. A lot, Kid. So fucking much.”
