Kindle Notes & Highlights
I need her. I want her.
“In the end I’m still here, Michael. I’m still here. It’s still just you and me.”
But promise me what? What did I want from her? Promise you’ll never leave me? Promise you belong to me? Promise you’re mine?
“A little early, aren’t you?” I challenged. “You usually like your ass around ten.”
LMAO
“Us?” I argued. “There is no ‘us.’ You have no idea what makes me happy, and you don’t care.”
“You suck,” I teased. “So do you,” he retorted, wrapping his arms around my waist. “Don’t tell me how to treat you, okay? I know exactly what you like.”
I couldn’t believe it. Michael Crist was on his knees, telling me I was beautiful.
“Rika,” he whispered against my neck. “I need you. I need you every day, every hour, every minute . . .”
He was everything. My entire life, I only felt completely alive when he was close, and while I knew nothing would ever be easy with him, I also knew nothing would ever be good without him, either.
“A beautiful girl looks at you like you’re God her entire life,” Kai continued, shifting something small and red from one hand to the other over and over again, “and you’re never going to get anything better, because there is nothing better, and you still can’t say it? Do you know how lucky you are?”
“Will you ever feel that for me?” I asked. “Will you ever need me or fear losing me?”
If he loved me, we would be invincible.
She was always there, and it was always us.
She was mine, and I was hers, and it would never break.
Life is one-way, and there is no return trip. What are you waiting for?”
