41 " Screw you twice! In your ass! With a chainsaw! "
― Jay McLean , More Than Forever (More Than, #4)
42 " She shows up to every game for the next six weeks. Every week she looks sadder, like the life is slowly being sucked out of her. And you know how I know all this? Because while she's so pre-occupied reading... I'm so pre-occupied reading her. "
43 " You changed her life, Cam. And fate, it changed all of us "
44 " Body: what the hell did she just say?Brain: it's from those books...Body: I can't focus on the pleasure if she keeps thinking like that. You control her, make her stop. "
45 " I really like you, Cameron." I grin. "Yeah?" "Yeah," she says dreamily. And then my heart begins to race. My palms begin to sweat. And all I can hear is the blood pumping in my ears. "Good," I respond, and then inhale a huge breath. "Because I'm kind of in love with you, Lucy. "
46 " I pick up the phone and press the few buttons until I can hear my heavy, creeper breathing over the PA system. I start beat boxing into the phone, making sure I spit more than necessary. “Yo, Marky Mark. Please come to your office immediately, there's a funky bunch of manly stud waiting for you. "
47 " I feel like I've loved you for eternity and it's not even close to long enough "
48 " I've done nothing but fucking love you every day since the day I knew your goddamn name and you think you can walk away! I'm not letting you go! "
49 " I love you, Lucy. I'll always love you, even if you don't know it. So… even if forever isn't eternal, I promise to love you for our forever. "
50 " Run back upstairs and change, girly," Dad says, but he's smiling. "You're lucky," I tell him. "I'm seventeen and going to my first high school party." His eyebrows rise. "Are you gonna drink?" I grab my keys off the counter. "Do you want me to lie?" "Yes." "Then no. I'm not drinking." "That's my girl. "
51 " Some nights, she wakes me after reading something and wants to try it. I swear to God I'm the luckiest asshole in the world. "
52 " Stop making me fall in love with you.”I smile now, taking her face in my hands. “I'll never stop that, babe, ever.” I kiss her slowly, until I can no longer taste the tears on her lips. Until she knows that she owns every part of me. Forever. "
53 " It's eternal, the rise and fall of the sun. It's forever. Just like us. "
54 " Is this… I mean… have you ever been kissed before?" My head shakes frantically. I can't control it. His face lights up. I don't know why he's happy that he's trying to make out with a pajama wearing, frozen, virgin kisser. That doesn't sound like happy times at all. "So I'm your first?" I nod again. The same speed as before. That's it—I've lost control of all bodily function. "I like that," he says, his mouth slowly descending. He presses his lips softly against mine. "
55 " because it is selfish to ask for more than what you already have. "
56 " I was in the library reading—getting lost in another world that’s not my reality. "
57 " She laughs.My world stops.-Cam "
58 " You're not an object. I don't want you to think that I own you.""Why not? I'm yours. "
59 " So he has flaws, so what? Maybe that's what makes him perfect. "
60 " And it doesn't matter how many times he says it, the words have never lost their meaning. And they never will. Because it's more than just words spoken, it's his arms around me when I feel like I'm falling. It's his lips on mine, kissing away the pain. It's our hands holding as he leads me into the water to let me break. It's us--chest to chest--helping each other heal. It's us--giving each other Hope. "
