The Consequence of Loving Colton (Consequence, #1) QUOTES

1 " I am not your sexless friend. I’m not your damn brother. I’m not your gay friend. And I sure as hell not am not thinking about anything right now except that your hands feel really good against my skin. So I’m going to kiss you, and you’re going to respond like the idea of my mouth on yours doesn’t make you want to cry – and you’ll like it "

― Rachel Van Dyken , The Consequence of Loving Colton (Consequence, #1)

2 " Kissing you is terrifying, breathing your same air makes my knees weak, when I’m around you it’s a tie between wanting to chase you down – or just kiss you until you can’t breathe. "

― Rachel Van Dyken , The Consequence of Loving Colton (Consequence, #1)

3 " The other thing about moments that are given to us? They’re limited. We don’t get an endless amount. If you miss them, they’re gone. Time machines don’t exist; you can’t go back and fix what’s been broken. "

― Rachel Van Dyken , The Consequence of Loving Colton (Consequence, #1)

4 " Love is never a sure thing, man. You’re never going to be totally certain that the person you offer your heart to will accept it with open hands, but if you don’t take that risk you’ll never reap the benefits of what it has to offer. "

― Rachel Van Dyken , The Consequence of Loving Colton (Consequence, #1)

5 " I’d rather fight with you, bicker with you, every damn day of my life than having nothing at all. I’m selfish enough to want any piece of you – even if it’s the bad, the ugly, the ridiculous. So even if you hated me, I’d still die a happy man – because I’d still be on your mind. "

― Rachel Van Dyken , The Consequence of Loving Colton (Consequence, #1)

7 " Shit balls. Oh, look, a bus! What? What was that? You want to throw me under it? "

― Rachel Van Dyken , The Consequence of Loving Colton (Consequence, #1)

8 " Love shouldn’t be something you jump into because it’s the right time in your life or because your friends are all married. It should be something that happens naturally, and in the end it turns into the supernatural because suddenly, you can’t imagine waking up every day without that other half. You no longer want to be an individual but a team. "

― Rachel Van Dyken , The Consequence of Loving Colton (Consequence, #1)

10 " Boys are told since they’re little that pretty things are good. Pretty things equal happy things. So when we grow up and see a shiny pretty thing, we’re drawn like moths to a flame. We keep flying toward the light until it’s too late. You know, like that Sleeping Beauty chick with the spinning wheel? "

― Rachel Van Dyken , The Consequence of Loving Colton (Consequence, #1)

11 " She didn’t punch me,” I said defensively. Jason sat down next to me and leaned back in his chair. “Then how’d she hurt you?” Hah. Right. Um, that’s something I wanted to explain to her older brother, You see she didn’t have her shirt on, I walked in on her, almost shit my pants, walked into the door, almost shit my pants a second time, then stumbled down the hall Hunchback of Notre Dame–style "

12 " You’re the sunset.” “Oh.” “Because I can’t describe your beauty—and every day I see you, it’s like seeing a new sunset, you’re never the same. I always notice something different about the way the light reflects off your eyes. Or the way your hair feels when I run my fingers through it. You’re not just pretty. You’re indescribable. You’re terrifying in your beauty—and I. Love. You. "

― Rachel Van Dyken , The Consequence of Loving Colton (Consequence, #1)

13 " I wasn’t one of those girls who got tiny hunger pangs when it was time to eat, then took a few sips of water, burped, wiped my mouth, and announced I was full. Hell, no. Carbs. Give. Me. Carbs. Give me protein. Give me chocolate and I’ll be your best friend. "

― Rachel Van Dyken , The Consequence of Loving Colton (Consequence, #1)

14 " Jason closed his eye and winced. “Why is this weekend not ending?” “Because the universe hates you, and you agreed to marry a bloodsucking wannabe Real Housewife of New York, who would have used her nails as a way to kill you so we’d all end up on Dateline—crying. "

― Rachel Van Dyken , The Consequence of Loving Colton (Consequence, #1)

15 " You’re crazy as hell—but you’re my crazy. I want to live in that head of yours. I want to hear about the crazy things you conjure up in that imagination of yours. "

― Rachel Van Dyken , The Consequence of Loving Colton (Consequence, #1)

16 " Parades terrify me,” Max piped up.

Jason nodded in understanding and slid the champagne toward him and Reid.

“Parades?” I couldn’t help but ask. “Really?”

Max shot me a look of terror. “The clowns are allowed out of their tiny cars, Colton. Have you ever even been to a parade? They hand candy and balloons to small children and have permanent smiles on their faces. No one”—he shuddered—“should have a permanent smile. "

17 " My mom was actually so concerned with my chocolate addiction when I was little that she had to repeatedly tell me that if a nice young man or woman offered me candy I had to scream at the top of my lungs. "

19 " It goes like this,” Max interrupted. “Boys are told since they’re little that pretty things are good. Pretty things equal happy things. So when we grow up and see a shiny pretty thing, we’re drawn like moths to a flame. We keep flying toward the light until it’s too late. You know, like that Sleeping Beauty chick with the spinning wheel?” I chuckled. “Are you seriously comparing us to a Disney princess? "

20 " I’ll take care of things.” Colton grabbed my shoulders and turned me toward the hall and pushed. “Walk.” “Walk where?” “Just walk.” “I’m not into it, you know, that whole dominant-submissive thing? I don’t get it.” But I kept walking. “I don’t like being ordered around. It makes me want to punch you in the face. It doesn’t make me hot.” “It takes nothing,” Colton whispered, his breath blazing across my neck, “to make you hot, especially when it comes to me. "
