1 " He breathes in deep, then lets it go with a shaky gust. “I hate this. I hate it so much.” His grip makes my ribs protest, and his voice goes rough. “I feel like some essential organ is being ripped from me. "
― Kristen Callihan , The Game Plan (Game On, #3)
2 " Why do you keep looking at your phone?” I ask him. “Shit, is there more bad press? Am I now up for grabs for both sexes?”“I’d do you,” Rolondo puts in with a grin.“You’re too high-maintenance for me.”“This is true.” ‘Londo nods and looks me over. “I’d most definitely make you shave that beard. I’m not into bears.”I shrug. “We were never meant to be.”Johnson rolls his eyes. “I don’t care if I sound like a dick. This whole exchange is bizarre.”“You always sound like a dick,” Rolondo says. “So we’re used to it.”He ducks a chunk of bread Johnson pings at him. An older couple across the way turns to stare.“Ladies,” I say mildly, “mind your manners. This isn’t the college bar. "
3 " Gray gives my arm a nudge. “Hey. Last one to Fisherman’s Wharf buys breakfast.”Little fucker. We both are good for quick bursts of speed. But Gray is better at longer distances. So I do what any self-respecting competitor would. I shove him into the grass and take off. "
4 " It’s a good pic,” I say absently.Drew smirks.And I glare. “What? It has artistic merit.”“It’s man candy,” Johnson says. “Look at you, all thoughtfully flexing your muscles. Did you flex your ass too?”“Nothing to flex. That’s just my natural form.” I give him a look. “Jealous?”Rolondo laughs. “Yeah, he is. "
5 " If you want only one woman, the rest is just noise. "
6 " And I don't want anyone but you. It doesn't matter if we're a thousand miles apart or right next to each other, I will always want you. Because that's how it is when you find your forever. "
7 " Truth is, we all project a false front to the world, peppering our social media pages with witty words and silly emoticons. Life narrowed down to 140 characters, staged selfies, and tirades over opinion posts. Life lived for the approval of the masses, all while tearing strangers down for the slightest misstep. "
8 " Not necessary. Man-buns are hot. I blame Jason Momoa. There was only so much watching him bang Khaleesi the female population could take before they wanted their own Khal Drogo. "
9 " I don’t know what to make of this,” I whisper. “I didn’t expect you, Ethan.” His eyes search my face. “I’ve been waiting two years for you to see me. "
10 " You were never quitting. You were searching. "
11 " As much as I want your respect, you never, ever live your life to make someone else happy. You got me? "
12 " It’s my turn to feed him,” Gray says without looking up. “So bottled breastmilk it is. He hates it. I know, little dude,” he says to the baby. “I love Mommy’sboobs too, but she needs to sleep.”From the far room, a muffled groan rings out. “Mother guilt has killed mysleep,” says Ivy’s disembodied voice. “And don’t discuss my boobs with my son,Cupcake. "
13 " Now I know the truth. Ethan's love won't fix me. I have to do that myself. So, no, his love isn't the cure. But it is something to live for. Without him, I might not want to fix myself. Ethan Dexter makes me want to be a better person. To be brave. "
14 " FearTheBeard: <3 <—mine goes with you. Always. "
15 " Just know I’m with you. Even when I’m far away, I’m with you. "
16 " Your sex life isn’t anyone’s business.” I look down at her. “I’d like it to be your business. "
17 " You have me,” he rasps as though I’m killing him now. “You fucking have all of me. "
18 " I see Ethan Dexter; he shines for me. And I burn hotter than the sun when I’m in his orbit. "
19 " I know from personal, painful experience that winning doesn’t necessarily make aperson the best. Sometimes, it just makes them lucky. "
20 " Life lesson that sucks? Giving advice is way easier than living your own life. Life lesson that sucks worse? Realizing this after you've severely fucked up. "
