I just took my best friend’s virginity.
oh my GOD.
“You cannot be a virgin.” My breathless, doubtful declaration has him chuckling as he trails kisses down my neck before biting into the base of my throat. “If you’ve never had sex before now you obviously watch a lot of porn to know how to— Oh god.”
GAHA
Aiden Griffith waited for me. He let me go back then. He didn’t tell anyone for days. And he waited.
WAAAA
Collapsing on his body for I’m not sure how long, I finally manage to whisper, “You waited.”

I didn’t wait the way she thinks. There was no romantic gesture making me stop from taking things further with the few girls I screwed around with before she showed up.
you ruined it
didn’t wait for her. I waited because of her. She left and I needed an outlet. She left and I needed something. And that was football. It was a future.
But it’s all I can give right now. I meant what I said. I want her. But I want football too.
oh heck
“To fix me. To let me have even the slightest control no matter how bad you think you know better.” I let out a strangled breath, knowing it’s not that easy. “Baby, I don’t know how to do that.” She tries looking away, but I won’t let her break eye contact as she lets it out. “But I’ll try the best I can.”
Come with me. Three words that haunt me still. But not as much as the two I replied with. I can’t.
Don’t make me say it.” “Say what?” I feel his nose nestle against the top of my head, then his lips press against the crown of my skull. “That I like you.”
say it
“Because I ran away from home, slept with who knows how many men for shelter, sliced myself up like a Thanksgiving turkey, and corrupted you by taking your virginity.”
oh wow
“Is that your way of saying you loved me, Aiden?”
gasp
“Porter?”
oh my god
“Your girl reminds me a lot of the missus when she handed me my ass during our talk, son. Scared me to hell to know there’s a clone of my Liza. All I can say is good luck. It may be you bringing home the big paychecks, but it’s her who’s going to wear the pants in that relationship.”
woof
I’ve never truly stopped loving Aiden Griffith either.
brava brava
“We happened to be at the right place at the right time when neither of us should have been.”
“When you meet the right person, it doesn’t matter what happens because fate will always bring you together.”
“Above all else,” she says softly, “choose happiness. Not anybody else’s, but yours. Because at the end of the day, you’ll find a lot more of it when you open yourself up to everything life has to offer when you’re truly content with where you are in it.”
spoke
“Ivy,” he cuts me off. “Please? I need you here cheering me on like you always do.
“Although I’m sure the biggest reason you’re glad you came was because of the boy crush you have on my boyfriend.”

“It’s always been you, Ivy,” he cuts me off confidently. “Why shouldn’t we label it? We’re always going to be friends, but we’re also more than that. I don’t want to see some other guy with his hands on you, so I might as well make my claim now.”
“I dare you to hate me, Ivy. We both know you don’t. You couldn’t even if you tried.”
roll the mf credits
“We might not be ready to be parents, but we could make other decisions.” My hand falters on the seatbelt. “Like what?” “Open the glove box.”
WHAT
“Let’s get married.”
WAH
“Be my wife?”
WJ TRY WBT
“I know I’ve said it before, but I love you. You gave me back my life, Aiden.” The truck slows in traffic. “You did that yourself, Ivy. Never forget it.”
SIGH
