Kindle Notes & Highlights
But hey, what doesn’t kill you just gives you seriously fucked-up coping mechanisms and one massive self-destruct button.
None of it feels right because he’s not the person I want to be kissing. Because he’s not his best friend.
“Why are you doing this?” I whisper. “Because it’s all I can think about anymore.” His attention drifts from my eyes back to my lips. “You’re all I think about. And I can’t do anything to stop it.”
“Don’t you dare,” he whispers harshly while tightening his hold on my hip. “You’re not ending this now. I’m not fucking done with you.” Then he crashes his mouth back to mine, and I drown all over again.
Fuck if he thinks he’s getting out of my grasp right now. He’ll be lucky if I ever let him out of reach ever again, especially when it took this long to get him here in the first place.
God, he’s beautiful. Beautiful and finally fucking mine.
“I want you to drive me to the brink of insanity only to stop and let me return the favor.”
“Kiss me, and I promise I won’t remember a word of it.”
“You have to stop looking at me like that.” My eyes follow the lines and planes of his face as I murmur, “I wish I knew how.”
I’m going to Hell for this. But fuck, the road to Hell has never tasted so sweet.
I’ve decided to hole up in my room with my favorite episodes of Friends, hoping it might help a bit. And if “pivot” doesn’t do the trick, I’m not really sure what will.
Oakley says with a shake of his head. “When it’s your forever on the line, all the codes and rules go right out the damn window.”
“Does he know you know he knows?” Phoenix nods again, this time with a light laugh. “God, this feels a lot like that one episode of Friends.”
“You’ve never looked better in your life. Ass in the air, my number on your back. It’s a sight dreams are made of.”
“This is the first time since we’ve been friends that I’ve actually done something for me. Where I put my happiness above yours.”
“I’m yours, Nix. Always. You have to know that. So choose you, baby. ‘Cause I’m choosing you too.”
Choosing me means choosing you, too.”
