42 " —Elegir estar contigo no es una difícil decisión Jacqueline —él suspira, moviéndose hacía atrás por última vez para mirar fijamente mis ojos—. Es fácil, increíblemente fácil. "
43 " I've been known to slum it and shop in the gag-him-and-bag-him aisles, believe it or not. "
44 " Unfortunately, the coughing drew her attention. "Are you dying or something?" she asked, affecting a perfect sneer as I shook my head. "Well, hacking up a lung out in public isn't all that attractive--just sayin'."My face flamed, but then Benji leaned up and spoke around me. "Um, giving half the class an exhaustive summary every Monday morning--in lurid detail--of how much of an alcoholic skank you are? Isn't all that attractive either. Just sayin'. "
45 " Choosing to be with you isn't a difficult decision, Jacqueline," he breathed, pulling back one final time to stare into my eyes. "It's easy. Incredibly easy. "
46 " I wanted to tell you that I just--I miss you. And maybe that sounds ridiculous--like we barely know each other, but between the emails and texts and... everything else, I felt like we did. Like we do. and I miss--I don't know how else to say it--I miss both of you. "
47 " It was as though he didn't exist, and then suddenly, he was everywhere. "
48 " Choosing to be with you, isn't a difficult decision, Jacqueline...It's easy. Incredibly easy. "
49 " You're full of contradictions, Ms. Wallace." I looked up at him and arched a brow. "I'm a girl. That's part of the job description, Mr. Maxfield. "
50 " The night we met—I'm not like that guy." His jaw was rigid."I know tha—" He placed a finger over my lips, his expression softening."So I don't want you to feel pressured. Or overpowered. But I do, absolutely, want to kiss you right now. Badly. "
51 " As for being somewhere you're not supposed to be--Maybe you're here for a reason, or there is no reason. "
52 " People rarely said what they thought, or revealed how they felt. No one was honest. "
53 " If someone had asked, "How does this compare to kissing Kennedy?" I would have answered, "Who? "
54 " sometimes, how a situation is perceived carries more weight than the reality of the matter. "
55 " He stuck the pencil over his ear, looking unconvinced. "Mmm. What position would you be the most comfortable for you?"I couldn't say aloud the answers that popped into my head at that question, but the flush that spread across my face like wildfire gave me away. He caught his lower lip in his teeth, and I was sure it was to contain a laugh. Most comfortable position? What about with my head stuck under a pillow? "
56 " Bonus: I now knew what Erin meant by lickable abs. "
57 " Sisters in solidarity and all that shit. "
58 " Ugh! Erin. You have a one-track mind."She smiled deviously. "I prefer to think of it as target-driven. "
59 " His earlier hesitation gone, he removed the last scraps of fabric we were wearing, fixed the condom in place, kissed me fiercely and rocked into me. Had this been Kennedy, it would have been over in a few minutes. My last coherent thought, as Lucas took his time kissing and touching every part of me he could reach and my body arched into his, was Oh... so this is what all the fuss is about. "
60 " I took a breath and blurted everything out before I was too chickenshit to say any of it. “I wanted to tell you that I just—I miss you. And maybethat sounds ridiculous—like we barely know each other, but between the emails and texts and… everything else, I felt like we did. Like we do. And Imiss—I don’t know how else to say it—I miss both of you.”He swallowed, closing his eyes and inhaling slowly. I knew he would be all rational and do-the-right-thing and he would push me away again,and I was determined not to give him that chance. But then his eyes flashed open and he said, “Fuck it,” pushing me against the door, slamming hisforearms on either side of my head and kissing me more forcefully than I’d ever been kissed "
