“You asked me to keep her safe,” he retorts. “You didn’t say anything about cock blocking her or interfering in her dating life or whatever the fuck. I do have a life of my own, you know.
I’d been there the day she was born and through all of her milestones, all of her birthdays and even helped teach her to drive. I’d been there with her father threatening the boys with what would happen if any of them ever hurt her.
DUDE NO
Our affair was intense, bordering on a burning obsession with each other.
Leave that child alone!!!
I went to sleep with her on my mind if she wasn’t curled up in bed next to me. If I was away from her for more than a few hours, my hands itched with the need to touch her. My mouth desperate to kiss her, taste her skin or the wet flesh between her legs. I was enamored with her. I was in love in a way that I’d never felt before and it hit me hard and fast.
There were I love you’s and talks of the future together.
Oh wtf dude
“I do love you. But sometimes, love isn’t enough. Sometimes loving someone means letting them go.”
his piercing blue orbs.
no. Just no.
“Yeah, you’re fucked. He looks like a man that came here to play zero games.”
“Fuck no, are you insane? Now? Here?” “Yes, Mason. I am insane. I let the woman I love slip right through my fingers. I want her back and I want her back now.”
boo tomatoes tomatoes
“You think I give a fuck? You could be married with three kids, and you’d still belong to me.”
eww
fucking what?! I will fucking murder that kid. Aside from still being the most important person in my world and the love of my life, she was also my Goddaughter and I vowed a long time ago to kick the ass of any man that didn’t treat her right.
Can we stop being reminded of that?
“I never agreed to play fair. Another man asked you to marry him. As far as I’m concerned, he declared war on me first. And you know what they say about love and war.”
bro speaks like a 14 year old raised on Reddit
I am already pushing the boundaries of my daddy issues quite enough, thank you.
“What I feel for you is deeper than love, Whitney.” Oh. He lies on his back and stares at the ceiling. “Devotion. Obsession.” He sighs. “Telling you I love you doesn’t seem to feel enough. The fact that I feel so out of control with need for you when I know I shouldn’t. I know it’s going to cause a catastrophic response and yet I don’t fucking care.”
“Move in with me.”
“I know it probably feels like shit, but I don’t love him. Part of me thinks I never did and that’s not your problem. It’s not your fault or your problem that I got myself into this mess. But I just hope you know how much I love you. Despite all these mistakes, you’re who I want to be with. I just need some time, JP. First and foremost, I need him to get out of the hospital.”
Why is she apologizing to him when HE left her??
It’s a bitter pill that he even exists at all.”
And whose fault is that???
“I’m your godfather, Whitney. I was there the day you were born. I was there for so many of your firsts. I can’t be this person.”
Should've thought about that before
“You are unbelievably sexy, Whitney.” I beam under his praise. “Thank you.” “And I just don’t know where that came from. How you went from this young girl who I used to drive to soccer practice and pick up from school when your parents were out of town to this.”
EWWWW
“We can’t hide anymore.” “I know. I just feel like hell is about to break loose.”
Irs slmost like it's time for the third act conflict
She whimpers as her grip on my hair tightens, and she raises her hips, trying to get me deeper and my God, Angel, if I could, I would.
“But it’s all I have. I don’t know why she looked different to me that night. Why I felt attracted to her then when I never had before.”
This is such a weird excuse. Clearly untrue
was in Mexico for three years and I didn’t sleep with anyone.” “Do you want a medal or something?”
Kev is the only logical person
“Kevin… I won’t, ever.” “I’m going to hold you to that.” “I know you will.” He clears his throat. “You have a ring?” “Not yet.” “She know it’s coming?” I nod. “Yes.” He lets out a breath. “You take care of my girl, Jacob, so help me, God.”
The most anticlimactic resolution...
“Do not look at me like that. I still do not approve but… I want to walk my only daughter down the aisle.” “She would love that.” “And I promised you a long time ago to be your best man whenever you got married.” I had asked both him and my brother to be my best men when I was going to get married before. “And I still want you to be. I still want you and Michelle to be my people.”
Oh FFS
and moves to stand directly behind him. “You are so beautiful,” he murmurs quietly. “How are you mine?”
“I hate to say this, and if you tell your father, I’ll deny it, but I will murder any of my friends that even THINK about it.”
