1 " If the bad stuff didn’t exist, the good stuff wouldn’t seem so incredibly good. "
― Allie Everhart , Knowing You (Jade, #2)
2 " I don’t want to deal with it. Dealing with it sucks.” “I know it does. But sometimes life sucks and you just have to deal with it. "
3 " You make your own future, Jade. Other people don’t make it for you unless you let them. "
4 " Trust me, Jade. I’m very skilled in the water. And it’s not just limited to swimming.” He loosens his grip like he’s going to let me go, but then tightens it again. “Oh, and what we did just now? That was nothing. I can get very creative when water’s involved. "
5 " I’m Jade, the sarcastic, independent, smart ass who has no interest in marriage or weddings or rings or any of that stuff. And yet my stupid heart skips a stupid beat when that stupid boy tosses out the idea that someday he might marry me. "
6 " I want to kiss him so bad right now but I can’t. I told him we had to wait until that first date. Now I totally regret saying it, but I’m insanely stubborn so if I said it I can’t go back and change my mind. If I did, he’d know I was too weak to resist him. Which I am. But he doesn’t need to know that. "
7 " I’ll see you later, Garret. I need to finish this bio homework. My lab partner bailed on me again.”“Do you want me to kick his ass? Because I can do that now. As your boyfriend, it’s one of my jobs to kick the ass of anyone who pisses you off. "
8 " You said you'd stay with me forever if I wanted you to, Garret." I keep talking to his unresposive face, tears streaming down my face. "So you better not leave me. Because I want that. You and me. And whatever this is we have together. I want it forever. I want it so bad. "
9 " Damn, he’s good. He knows exactly what to do to. Gets things started, then leaves me wanting more. Dying for more! I can’t believe what this guy does to me. "
10 " I glance away, trying not to gawk at his naked body. “You can look, you know,” he says as he takes a clean t-shirt from his closet. “I’m yours. You can look all you want. And you can touch, too. An added bonus. "
11 " I hate to break this to you, Jade, but you're more than pretty. You're beautiful." He kisses me. "And gorgeous." His lips travel down my neck. "And sexy." His mouth trails back up to my ear and his voice drops to just above a whisper. "And so. Damn. Hot. "
12 " Most people need expensive cars or designer clothes to be happy. You just need pancakes. And snow. "
13 " It’s not that hard, Jade. You just sway side to side while a hot guy holds you in his arms.” “So we’re not even dancing together?” I tease. "
14 " Do you want me to kick his ass? Because I can do that now. As your boyfriend, it's one of my jobs to kick the ass of anyone who pisses you off. "
15 " Are you kidding? I think it’s great that you’re crazy like this.” He sets me down. “It’s one of the reasons I—” he stops, “um, like hanging out with you. Let’s go in. It’s freezing out here. "
16 " We go inside the dorm, stopping at my room. "I'd invite you in but it's our first date and I don't want you to think poorly of me."He leans against the door. "Are you really sending me home already?" He smiles, "You know, you could come up to my room. I have no problem inviting you up there, even if you do think poorly of me. "
17 " It's okay, you know." The cocky smile appears. "You can call me your boyfriend. I'd actually like it.""No, I don't want to tie you down like that." It's such a lie. I don't know why I always say the opposite of what I want. Of course I want him to be my boyfriend. I don't even want to think about anyone else having him."What would you say about being my girlfriend? That way, I'd be the one tying you down. And I'd be your boyfriend by default. "
