1 " You’ve sufficiently invaded every part of me, Alexis; my heart, my mind, and now my dreams. "
― Lindsay Chamberlin , The Shoreline (Following the Crest, #1)
2 " You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, so it would be my honor to take you out. I understand if you have someone else in mind for such occasions, but I promise you, I would merely like a chance to get to know you, maybe make a friend. "
3 " The only reaction Alexis could express to his response was: Mine. She pulled his neck lower, eager to feel his lips on hers, his warm mouth entwined with hers. He stroked her hunger with each brush of their lips, his body now laying on hers, kissing her until she wasn’t sure which way was up or down. Only, it didn’t stop with a kiss. Alexis knew it would never again stop with just a kiss. "
4 " Umm, how old are you?” Alexis asked, a little hesitant to answer before making sure he wasn’t a minor.“Twenty-one, but age is just a number,” the guy responded. "
5 " It was any wonder how a wave could withstand such a look from eyes like that and continue to build towards him. His eyes were her ocean in those brief seconds. "
6 " I feel at peace when I’m on the water, we all do. It’s like in that moment, nothing else matters except the wave and our boards,” Jason said, watching her expressions as he explained. “We have all vowed that since the ocean gives us something so amazing, we should give something back. I guess it’s just our way of ‘doing good’. "
7 " If I stay much longer, I think I will have fallen in love with you. "
8 " Flat was good; flat meant she didn’t care, meant she wouldn’t get sucked under this time, but she knew not to hope too much. "
9 " Normally, Alexis would have been put off by such a blatant gesture, but his eyes, his bright, soft blue eyes, had her melting. It was any wonder how a wave could withstand such a look from eyes like that and continue to build towards him. His eyes were her ocean in those brief seconds. She felt herself swimming within them, trying to answer the questions they held while finding answers to her own. "
10 " She had never felt so relieved to say something that had torn her apart at the seams. "
11 " Lori’s biggest quest in life was to find Mr. Right Now, not to be confused with Mr. Right. "
12 " Anything that waited for them after these next few days could keep on waiting because Alexis was going to take every last second she had with Jason and make it last. "
13 " I want to have a good vacation before I have to go back home and start my ‘big girl job’,” Lori said, nose deep into the visitor’s guide, but still making the air quotations around her words. "
14 " Hold the freaking phone! I am clearly missing something here,” Lori said, still holding a confused expression. "
15 " Love could be immortalized. It could be remembered and written forever into the world, inscribed on some inanimate object. It could be wonderful words given by a loved one, or simple letters combined to show an unbroken bond." Alexis from "The Shoreline "
16 " She didn’t know why she was so attracted to this stranger, like a moth to the flame, but it scared her. "
17 " I know, and if you don’t kiss me in the next few seconds, I might have to force myself onto you,” Alexis said breathlessly. His eyes were pulling her under with each new wave of emotion, and if he didn’t relieve her of those oncoming waves with a bit of sensual CPR, she knew she would drown with the need. "
18 " It only took Alexis a day to read a five-hundred page book. Fiction stories took her to another world where she could lose herself for a while in someone else’s life.Its funny how things like loans to pay back, a broken home and family, and a future to worry about meant nothing to characters who only had to worry about things like boys, beaches and fun. "
19 " Are you guys, like, in love?” Brian asked in a girl voice.Alexis and Jason locked stares because even though everyone had started laughing at Brian’s jibe, the word was there, hanging between the two of them, waiting to be grabbed for their personal use. "
20 " Love could be immortalized. "
