True love exists in moments stumbled upon by accident… — Atticus
“I didn’t want to kiss you because I didn’t want it to mess me up all over again, okay?”
Being your most authentic self is the only way to ensure your happiness.
A deadly smirk sits on his lips when he says, “I dare you to think of me when you fuck her tonight.”
And in the fucked-up logic of my mind, because it’s me that he figured it out with, it should also be me he does all that other shit with.
my feelings are valid, no matter how misplaced they might be.
When I go gay, I bat for the fucking fences.
“The thing about overthinking is that sometimes it’s easy to convince yourself something is a good idea, even when it isn’t.”
“Our friendship is the most important thing. Maintaining it at all costs. We have to be honest with each other when it comes to what we like, how we’re feeling, everything. Especially on the big things, like anal.”
“I can tell you one thing: the way I’ve pictured this going puts you on top ninety percent of the time.”
But I also know I’m not gonna let you figure it out with anyone else but me. Call it possessiveness or jealousy, I don’t care. But it’s not happening with anyone else, so you might as well get on your knees right now before I walk out the door and make you come begging for it.”
“You’re always stupidly good at everything you do. I doubt this will be any different, Kee.”
Somehow, Pen always knows exactly what I need to hear, no matter the situation.
“Hey, Kee?” “Yeah?” “I missed you.” My stupid heart squeezes. “I missed you too, Pen.”
He’s so fucking…beautiful. So brave and caring, and all I can think while our eyes lock is mine. He’s mine, from this day on.
“At the risk of sounding completely fucking corny or like a total sap, I’m happiest when you’re happy, Kee. It’s always been that way, always will be.”
I am who I am, I like what I like, and that’s the end of it.
life never goes according to plan. Not for a single person I’ve ever met. Which is why you have to learn to adjust, take things as they come.”
“There are far worse things in the world than falling in love, Aspen. No matter who it’s with.”
“Love has nothing to do with how you define your sexuality. It’s all about the heart.”
“I dare you to let me love you the way you deserve to be loved. Wholly. Completely. And out in the open, where the world can see.” My throat constricts around the words, but I continue to push them out anyway. “I love you. I’m so stupidly in love with you. And I dare you to love me too.”
“I want you to know I’m done keeping secrets or hiding what I’m feeling from you. About you. For you. It was a fool’s effort to try to begin with, because you’ve always known my heart better than anyone else.” His voice thickens. “You and me, Kee. It’s always been you and me.”
After topping you for the first time? I’d have agreed to anything. You could’ve committed murder and I would’ve said cool babe, where we hiding the body?”
“You’re my best friend. You’re supposed to say that anyway.”
