Part of Your World (Part of Your World, #1)

by Abby Jimenez

Eight thousand nerves in the clitoris and still not as sensitive as a white man not getting his way.”

“Yeah. You know, reading makes your penis look bigger—don’t quote me on it, the science is really new.”

Im hollering

When he started to sauté the onions and garlic, I think I fell a little bit in love.

AAAAAHHHHH

The chemistry between us was off the charts. He made my body react just by being in the room, and it occurred to me that this would be true even if we’d never touched each other.

He was wearing an apron.

Hot

Daniel cleared his throat from the end of the table. “Baked French toast with a splash of Madagascar bourbon vanilla, topped with macerated berries, served with candied maple bacon and fresh melon.

Cook for meeeee

So far he hadn’t disappointed me—in anything.

Hunter backed into the mouth of the dining room, blinking at us innocently, like he didn’t know what the big deal was.

Dogs. Gotta love em

We were all holding our breath, hostage.

IMAGINE OMG

Gabby had an entire piece of French toast stuck to her boob from the table army-crawl.

HAaahaaaahhahhaah

“I want to. I can do the sweeper thingy.” “The broom?” I looked at her, amused.

Girl wth. Have you ever cleaned anything ???

Bri liked to say she could tell I’d never cried in a walk-in fridge before.

I felt this with my whole being

And Daniel I could not have long term.

Why not? Imaginary rules make me mad

He was in the worst position to be generous, yet he was. And she was in the best position to show grace, and she didn’t. And doing it would have cost her nothing. And that was the fundamental difference between them.

“This is how you die in the zombie apocalypse,” she said with wonder. “I always thought it would be an infected zombie bite or exposure or something, but it’s this. You get a caffeine headache on the first day and you lose your will to live and you just lie down and they eat you.”

Alexis made me want to be better.

“A penguin love stone. When a male likes a female, he finds a perfect stone and he brings it to her. If she likes it, she puts it in her nest and that’s it. They’re paired for life.”

Cute

Sometimes what you have to give is enough. Even if it’s a rock instead of a diamond.”

But I somehow felt disappointed anyway.

Its literally your fault

Ugh, this boy.

Excuse me. Daniel is a MAN

He’d protected his wife from the rejection and gave up his life instead.

“What, like it’s hard?”

Legally blonde fan, i see!!!

“The weather was nice,” I said instead.

How about we start telling the truth.

“I bet he folds towels the right way too. A

The 3 fold.

Aren’t you supposed to be single for a while after a breakup? Find yourself or something? What would it say about me if I jumped right into another serious relationship? That I was codependent? Couldn’t be alone?

Can you please for the love of God have a single thought for yourself

For the first time in my life, I was in a situation where I knew I was making a terrible mistake.

Love is no mistake.

Fifteen minutes later Doug walked in. He had a ring light.

Not a ring light for the dick pic lolololololol

“She’s going to show this to her friends.

IM CRYING HAHAHAHAHA

“Don’t just let it hang there by itself all lonely.”

🫢

She sees the tools in the background, makes her think of getting nailed.”

hell yeah

Maybe one day there would only be yes.

He needs that right now.”

what he NEEDS is a labotomy

Daniel was wonderful. He just wasn’t wonderful for me.

I need a gun.

“And I think I have to go to couple’s counseling with Neil.”

You are a 37 year old grown woman. NEWS FLASH you are the only one who has to live your life. Who cares what this old man wants or thinks. You dont have to do things you dont want to do.

All I have for you are detailed revenge plots and alibis.

You know what, hell yeah

“Because you have too many fucks to give.”

EXACTLY! She would not last around me lol

I hung up on him.

Neil is the only one she can stand up to? Womp womp

“What he needs is Jesus.”

Amen sister

He pulled out something and put it in my palm. It was a rock

Please protect this man at all cost!

like he was trying to keep me from drifting off.

DONT YOU HURT HIM

It filled me up. It was like all the things my dad and Neil drained out of me, these people tried to put back.

And this is what youre letting go. Family aint always blood.

And tomorrow morning, I would drive out of this town and never come back. I wasn’t going to see him again. Any of them.

Oh so youre still going through with it..

It would have to be him.

DONT YOU MAKE HIM DO IT EITHER

But when she was back in her own world, I wasn’t her boyfriend.

How could she

But I knew even then, it wouldn’t be. I suspected it would never really be over. At least not for me.

EXCUSE ME

Daniel empowered me instead of stripping me. Lifted me up instead of keeping me low.

And you wanted to break up w him

What I wanted was to be in Wakan.

SLAP

And I’d have to break up with Daniel.

Here we go again. I mean honestly, shut up

There were two ways we could do it. Break things off cleanly and just stop talking—or let it die a slow and painful death.

Slow and painful please
