Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Because she deserves to be happy, Lex, and you’re it for her. That soul mate bullshit doesn’t just happen for everyone. Sometimes it does if you’re lucky, but you have to work hard at getting it right. It doesn’t always fall into your lap so perfectly. She’s my girl, so don’t do anything stupid to screw this up. You love her? Then make sure this doesn’t happen again, you understand?”
“Lose me forever? Too fucking late, Lex. You lost me a long time ago. I was just stupid enough to think it was fixable.”
“¿Quieres lastimarme por lo que te hice, Charlotte? Bueno, has ganado. Para citarlo, he terminado. You want to hurt me for what I did to you, Charlotte? Well, you’ve won. To quote you, I’m done”.
I also know how deep her pain goes. Much like me, but we’re both hurting for different reasons. And with my heart chained down unable to fight any longer, I quickly leave the building and hail a cab straight to the airport. Back home and as far away from her as possible.
They say if you love someone, you’re supposed to set them free. What if it’s the other way around?
She was mine all along, and once again, I, Alexander Edwards, vow not to stop, not until she’s mine again.
“Because if you really want something, I mean like really want it, you can have it. You just need to find the willpower and strength. Look at the end picture and stop focusing on the pain you’re feeling right now.”
I love him so much it hurts to breathe without him. But you know it was me who pushed him away. This is all a mess. I’m hoping he’ll give me another chance.”
There’s no tomorrow without him. Alexander Edwards will forever be the only man to capture my heart. And I refuse to live life any other way.
I wouldn’t be a man not to notice her tits. Pregnancy looks good on her, but this isn’t the time nor place to imagine her naked. I almost need a dose of holy water to wash away the sinful thoughts lingering in my mind while standing here in the church.
Place your trust in those you love and accept their trust with the greatest of appreciation. Love like there is no tomorrow, live like today is the end, and have faith that tomorrow will come. Sometimes we are given the easy road, sometimes the most challenging, but if we can end up being as happy as both of you today, then any road taken is well worth the journey.”
“Lex… this is your baby.” With his hands dropping to his sides, he steps back with an incredulous stare. In silence, he searches my face until his eyes become glassy, and a small smile plays on his lips. “M-My baby?” he stammers.
Alexander Mason Edwards Sleep my baby angel, always and forever in my heart.
“I am home, Lex… with you… wherever you are. You are home.”
“Necesito que te pierdes en mí, tengo que sentir lo mucho que me quieres. Muéstrame lo mucho que me quieres, sólo a mí. I need you to lose yourself in me, I need to feel how much you love me. Show me how much you love me, only me.
“Charlotte, this right now, this is what I’ve dreamed about since the moment we ran into each other in my parents’ kitchen. I’m so happy right now it actually fucking hurts because I don’t know what to do with myself. I’m obsessed with you, every part of you. You are my addiction, but one I never want to stop.”
“I love you, Alexander Matthew Edwards. Whether it’s with or without this baby, we still would have found a way to be together. No matter what happens, I’m here. Remember, obsessed together forever? I want to hear the baby’s heartbeat, too. I will book it. Now promise me you’ll try to be productive today.”
“I love you. Obsessed together forever,” he whispers, rubbing his nose against mine. “Obsessed together forever.”
“Charlotte Olivia Edwards, you are my wife, my reason for taking my breath every morning. I ache when I’m away from you, and I ache when I am near you. I see the light, and you are there, making it shine. I am complete now that I have you, and soon, you will give me the greatest gift a man can ask for.
Thankfully, my vagina is still intact from the cesarean and not looking like a battered lasagna—you can thank Eric for that analogy—but I still feel disabled.
“How you can come with her crying is beyond me.” Charlotte shakes her head. “It’s called my-wife-is-too-damn-hot and my-dick-has-his-own-agenda.’”
“Marriage is never easy… you’ve got to work hard all the time. We make mistakes, sometimes we hurt, but with the right love, it will burn into your soul forever.”
Eric OMG Charlie, Matthew McConaughey is working out at Venice Beach! Meet me there in ten minutes. Hurry up woman! My wank bank is in need of a refill!
“I was wrong, Corazon. He’s not your dark angel.” I let out a small laugh “Oh, he is, Mom, the only difference is he knows who’s got him by the balls if he ever pulled a stunt like that.”
There are angels all around us. Sometimes we can see them and other times we can’t. If you look carefully, all around us there are clues. There are some that are placed on this earth as a gift from God, and there are some that are around to protect us from harm and evil.
