The Anti-Boyfriend Quotes

“ “I’ve always wanted to drink out of a mug that says, Classy, Sassy, and a Bit Bad Assy.”
― Penelope Ward, The Anti-Boyfriend

“He took his drink out of the tray, and I noticed he had some ink on his left wrist, coming out from under his sleeve. I wondered how much of his arm was covered. Part of the ink was a word, but I couldn’t see it clearly aside from “hie” at the end. Was it a name? Ruthie? No clue. He had the biggest, most beautiful hands, too, with prominent veins and rough skin. Long fingers. Deacon was the epitome of masculinity.”

“Wow. Here I was thinking I didn’t know anyone who could relate to my situation. You’ve been right next door all this time.” His eyes met mine. “Crazy, isn’t it?”

“As I watched him rock her back and forth, my ovaries felt like they were about to explode. This man was sexy when he wasn’t holding a baby. Now? Off the charts.

“I don’t get why I couldn’t get her to sleep, and then you hold her for five minutes…”

“Can’t say I understand it, either.” Looking down at her, he said, “I gotta be honest, though. I kinda wanted to run for the hills when you first asked me to take her. But she made it easy.” Deacon shrugged. “Not bad for my first time holding a baby, huh?”

My mouth fell agape. “Ever? You’re kidding me.”

“Nope.” He laughed.

“That figures.”

She looked so comfy in his big arms. No wonder she’d fallen asleep. It must have been like lying in a warm, king-size bed compared to the usual fold-out cot with uncomfortable springs.”

“Carys: Heading home alone tonight?



Deacon: Yes. Not feeling it.



Carys: Ah. You win some, you lose some. That’s too bad. But at least I know I’ll get some sleep ;-)



Deacon: That’s very true.



Carys: Sorry, couldn’t help myself.



Deacon: I can take it.



Carys: This explains why you’re texting me from your date. I hope she’s not right in front of you?



Deacon: No. The champagne was from earlier (but in your honor). I’m on a bathroom break right now.



Carys: So nice of you to think of me in there.



Deacon: I’m not on the shitter. Don’t worry.



Carys: Well, that’s good.”
