“He did. I shot him in the head and then his brain bled.”
I'm sorry, ts is funny
“Like father like son, Aurora. I’ve cheated on every girlfriend I’ve ever had, lied to everyone I’ve ever known.”
Oh.....ew
Her eyes light up. “Cluck yeah!”
Girl no....
Something catches the corner of my eye. It’s pink and lacy, slung over the center stick. It takes me a few seconds to realize what it is. Underneath, there’s a note scribbled on the flight log in loopy, girly handwriting. To add to your collection.
YUHHH
“I’ve added a clause to your contract that states our agreement is null and void the moment you aren’t a virgin anymore.”
Are we for serious....
“You’re insane,” he murmurs, gripping my jaw. “If you think I’m anything but crazy about you, Rory, then you’re fucking insane.”
“You’re not a made man, anymore. Remember?” I spit. “You’re just dressed like one.”
Clocked his tea REAL BAD
Angelo Visconti isn’t a knight in shining armor, he’s a monster in an Armani suit.
He drags his eyes over my tailored suit and Italian wool jacket and scowls. “You’re way too old to be my daughter’s boyfriend.”
I'M CRYING
“I don’t have a daughter.” He struggles to his feet, a frailness to him I didn’t see in the woods. “Get out! Leave!” Melissa reaches for his shoulder but he bats her off. “I’ll call the police!” he yells, voice getting louder and more strained. “Go away!”
Oh no :(
“He doesn’t recognize me outside of the forest, Angelo. That’s why it can’t be knocked down, and that’s why we can’t leave. What my father and I have, it doesn’t exist outside of it.”
“Out of all my sins, you’re my favorite.”
OH MA GAWD BRO
No, she’s willfully ignorant. She knows exactly what’s going on, and yet, she’d rather sit still and let me drown than get up and rock the boat.
She’s no better than Greta.
Clock it
Amelia follows in not long after, throwing me a wary glare before slipping into the seat next to her husband, who’s grateful for the interruption.
OH WHO IS YOU
His gaze shifts to me. “Angelo. He’s left town.”
Are you shitting me rn
Well, the truth came in the form of an automated voice on the other end of the line: The number you have reached has been disconnected.
AW HELL NAH
Doesn’t feel like my thumb that flips off the safety catch, or my fingers that press the barrel against his temple. Doesn’t sound like my voice either, when I choke out, “I said, take me to Devil’s Dip.”
SHE IS TAKING IT HONEYYYY
“Oops,” he drawls indifferently, without looking at me. “I think I just dropped my car keys.”
Im cackling, i love him
“I swear to God, Rory. You better know how to fly, because if you fall, I’m coming with you.”
OH MY GODDDD
He grips my chin. Runs a soft line over my bottom lip. “I know. I’ve always fucking known.”
“I was looking forward to listening to your call. I never could stand uncle Alberto.”
I LOVE THIS MAN
We stare at each other through the windshield and I make a silent oath to myself: Nothing and nobody will ever fucking hurt her again. Not Alberto, not Dante. Not me.
OH LAWDDD
But if this is what good girls get, then maybe I won’t be bad anymore.
“They tried to rape me,” I announce, with as steady of a voice as I can muster. “They tried to pin me to a desk and rape me.”
oh we gotta kill them all
“Shut up, Rory. He left his entire life in England and came back to Devil’s Dip for you. He’s so in love with you that it makes me sick.” “She’s right, I am.”
OH MA GAWD OH MA GAWD OH MA GAWD
A flustered rash creeps across my chest at the sight of his black Calvin Kleins,
YES SIRRR
“I’ve never had a girlfriend, let alone cheated on one. I just needed you to hate me.”
Oh thank god
“Not just regular happy. I mean really fucking happy,” he growls into my mouth, palming my ass to pull me on top of him. “Can’t stop fucking smiling, don’t want to go to sleep because reality is better than your dreams kind of happy. I want to make you so damn happy that you shit sunshine and piss rainbows and people think you’re as high as a kite when you walk into a room.” He nips my lower lip in mild frustration, and his fingers dig deep into the back of my thighs as he slides me up to his groin. “If you want to be mine, I’ll make you that happy, Rory.”
“I’ll get on my knees and beg you until you get so sick of me you agree to be mine anyway.”
Yes please
“I’ll show you what it looks like. Now, be a good girl and moan my name while I worship you.”
YES GAWDDDD
I didn’t ask her to marry me, I fucking begged,
We love to see it
“It’s not connected to the real hotline, it’s a replica with a private connection, just for you.”
YES LAWDDD
“For old time’s sake,” he purrs, slipping it between my lips and holding it there. He watches me in fascination as I take a long, slow drag. When I exhale, he captures the smoke in his mouth. My breath and his breath, his heart and mine, they are interchangeable now.
Wait no, I'm getting sad this is ending
“You ready to go to war, baby?” A cocktail of lust and adrenaline trickles down my spine. “Ready as I’ll ever be.”
MY BABIESSS
