41 " I wonder if he ever looks at me and notices how different I am. How jaded I’ve become. How fragile. I wonder if he ever thinks that after all the effort he’s gone through to be with me again, I’m no longer worth it. "
― Leisa Rayven , Bad Romeo (Starcrossed, #1)
42 " Wrong part of my body to put your hands on, sweetheart. Don't you want to give some relief to the part of me that's been hard as fuck ever since I read your stupid diary? Don't you want to feel the hell you're putting me through? You want to touch a cock so much? Go right ahead. Put your fucking hands on me and put me out of my misery. "
43 " Are you auditioning for Romeo?” He shakes his head. “No way. I’d have to have my balls removed to play that pussy.” “Hey, that’s no way to talk about one of the greatest romantic heroes of all time.” “He’s not a hero, Taylor, he’s a limp, fickle dick who confuses lust with love and kills himself over a chick he’s just met. "
44 " I take the lighter and resist the urge to hug him. Tristan says I can be a little too touchy-feely. Actually, his term is touchy-fucky but I modify it to make myself feel better. "
45 " I feel like I'm in a disaster movie, and that belt is the iceberg that's going to sink the good ship Orgasm. It must be destroyed. "
46 " He’s a truly terrible dancer,” Ruby says. “It looks like he’s having a vertical seizure. "
47 " He’s untouchable. He’s freaking Teflon. "
48 " All of a sudden, I’m really tired. I feel like I’m always fighting to be with him, while he’s fighting to push me away. "
49 " I take a swig of wine. A big one. It’s pointless. There’s not enough wine in the world for this. "
50 " sometimes it’s not about trying to fix something that’s broken. Sometimes it’s about starting again and building something new. Something better. "
51 " uh, I don’t know. It’s hard”—God, I said hard while looking at his crotch—“to say. I mean … uh … wow. "
52 " We both know it doesn’t work like that,” he says so softly only I can hear. “As much as we want it to be the character’s emotions, it’s still going to be my arms around you, and my mouth on yours. Now, I feel pretty weird about that considering all our baggage could fill a goddamn department store, but since you seem cool not discussing anything, let’s crack this fucking thing open and see what falls out. "
53 " Yes! Because it’s an opinion, not a fact, and maybe to you, the clouds are pink because you’re nuts. An opinion doesn’t need to be true for anyone else in the world but you. Stop trying to fucking please everyone, and just say what you think. "
54 " He’s looking at me, torn and passionate, and I don’t know how I thought I was truly alive before I met him. This is what love feels like. To no longer belong to yourself. To be pulled from what you know into what you feel. No wonder people live and die for this feeling. "
55 " The chuckle happens again, and I swear to the Almighty God of Justifiable Homicide, I'm going to murder him with my bare hands. "
56 " The problem is, no matter how careful he is, I’ll always remember the other falls, and no matter how much he tells me he’s different, I’ll always know it was at my expense. "
57 " Isn’t that the point of living? To find the one person in all the world who’s your perfect match?” “Actually, Taylor, the point of living is not dying. Romeo and Juliet failed at that part. "
58 " I never did figure out how to fuck you, did I? Couldn’t just detach and treat it like sex, ‘cause it never was. Ever. It was so much more. "
59 " I can’t believe that in the world of wrong we’ve created together, this can still feel so right. "
60 " if I stay with him any longer, he’ll unstitch me, and I really can’t fall apart now. Bitterness is the only thing holding me together. Without it, I’m shapeless. "
