Kindle Notes & Highlights
I didn’t have main character energy. I was more of the quirky, cute best friend with all the sage advice.
Giana: I almost passed out when I saw everyone staring at us. Me: I would have caught you.
The more I pretended like she was mine to tease like that, the more it felt like she really was.
“He doesn’t push me to be something I’m not. He loves me just how I am, just how I want to be.”
I wanted her. I wanted her so badly my chest had a gaping hole in it whenever I wasn’t with her.
“I couldn’t eat,” he started, knee still bouncing. “Couldn’t train, couldn’t sleep, couldn’t do anything other than make myself sick thinking about him touching you.”
“I want you,” he repeated on a raspy breath. “And I don’t want to pretend anymore.”
“This isn’t fake,” he swore against my skin, kissing and nipping it along the way. “Nothing between us has ever been fake.”
“You read my books,” I breathed, a question and a disbelief all at once. “Fuck yeah, I did.” “Why?” Clay swallowed, brushing his knuckles along the side of my cheek. “I told myself it was to help you get Shawn,” he said. “But in truth, it was to help me please you.”
“This is real,” I said, hoping I could soothe whatever anxiety was already creeping into her mind in the daylight. “You and me, we’re real.”
“That’s the thing about love,” he said, kissing my hair. “It doesn’t need to be reciprocated to be real.”
“This is the part where you get the girl, you idiot.”
AND THATS HOW IT WORKS THATS HOW YOU GET THE GIRL
“I hurt you. I know I did. And I also know that I don’t deserve the chance to explain everything to you, to admit my wrongs and ask for your forgiveness.” His brows folded together. “But I’m going to anyway. Because I love you, Giana Jones.”
“I just… I thought I’d lost you. Forever. I thought I’d never get to be here again, holding you like this, touching you, kissing you.” His face crumpled in pain. “I was miserable without you.”
