So Over My Head Quotes

“So you like it here in Truman?” I pull my eyes from the road and face my stepbrother. “I’m about to weird you out, so brace yourself.” “Nuh-uh. Don’t do it. Do notsay—” “I love you.” “Oh, man! Dude.” I start to giggle.”

“How are we going to handle dating and the newspaper?"
He rubs the tension at the base of my neck. "I tell you what to do and you'll ignore me."
"So...like normal?"
"Yeah."
"Sounds good.”

“Luke pulls me to him and crushes his mouth to mine.

“I said I wasn’t going to do this,” he whispers on a kiss.

“’S’okay.” I pull him closer, my hands snaking up his back. “Don’t mind.”

His hands move up to cup my face, to tilt my head, to move his lips over mine again. “Bella?”

“Hmmm?”

I stifle a groan as Luke pulls away.

Still holding my face in one hand, he runs his finger down my nose. Over my cheek. I lean into his palm and just try to breathe. “What?”

“Do you know what this was?” he asks, his mouth near my ear.

“The warm-up?”

“A test.”

My cozy smile drops. I step away.

“You’re lying to yourself if you think you don’t want to be with me.”

“I—I”—am so mad—“it was the moonlight. It was the popcorn at nine o’clock.”

Luke reaches out and brushes a piece of hair behind my ear. “Face it—you’re totally into your editor.” He sighs dramatically. “I hope whatever is keeping us apart is worth it.”

I stand there motionless, my tongue glued to the roof of my mouth as Luke climbs into his 4Runner. I should say something. I should yell—or maybe throw a shoe? What would Ruthie do? No. I can’t moon him.”
