Crazy For You Chapter twenty
Chapter twenty Julie Sitting in front of the window overlooking Central Park, I lean my head on the glass, holding the small, slightly crumpled photo from being held so often. Like Jenny said, the baby's just a little grain, but it's fine. George and I were very moved during the ultrasound, and as I left the consulting room, I was really thankful of Jenny's support, who had been amazing with me. I went back to the hotel with George, who helped me finish packing and was the one who took me to the airport the next day, reinforcing the promise that he wouldn't tell anyone about the baby. He wanted to come with me, but I didn't think it was fair. He had his own life to take care of and I was a big girl, even though I was heartbroken. I talked to Rob when I arrived, and told him about the pregnancy. Luckily, he was sweet and said that wasn't a deterrent for me to be hired. So here I am, almost a month after I left L.A., trying to forget the fool who broke m
Crazy For You Chapter twenty one
Chapter twenty one Julie Daniel goes across the hotel with me in his arms and I understand that quite a few employees already knew his plan, because they smile at me and give him a positive sign. “Danny, did everybody know?” “Of course. How do you think I would be able to close one of the most important bars of New York? I had to tell my story.” “You mean, our story.” “ My story. Of how I went in a short time from confirmed bachelor to passionate asshole,” he says and we both laugh. We go up to the eighth floor, with me still on his lap. As we arrive, he follows the corridor up to my bedroom door. “Baby, get the key card out of my pocket.” he asks and I open my mouth, astonished. “How do you have my bedroom’s key card? I ask with a raised eyebrow. “Rob gave it to me. He’s a hopeless romantic...” Daniel tells and winks, and then waves towards the door. “But he made me swear that I would only use it if you forgave me.” “I guess I’m gonna ha
Crazy For You Epilogue
Epilogue Julie I can hardly believe that cold New York was left behind and that I’m back in Los Angeles in the arms of the man I love. In the following day, I didn’t even have to tell Rob that I would like to go back home. He said himself that as soon as Daniel contacted him, he knew that I wouldn’t stay at The Rose Club. That my home is where my heart was and released me from the agreement without a problem, for which I’ll be forever grateful. When the plane lands at LAX, I can hardly contain the cold I feel in my tummy. I wasn’t away for long, but it’s like another life. “Baby, everything all right? “ Daniel asks as he sees my blank stare into the window of the plane, while we wait to get out of the plane. “Yes, all good...I was just thinking...” “About what?“ he asks and frowns. “About how everything changed...” “And is that bad?“ he asks, tilting his head to the side. I smile and shake my head, denying. “No, of course not.” I put my hand
Crazy For You Author’s note
Author’s note Dear reader, I hope you had fun and enjoyed reading Crazy for you , the first book in the After Dark series. But before closing, I would like to make an observation I believe to be important: Crazy for you was written in 2013. It’s important to keep in mind that it was written a little after the boom of Fifty Shades of Grey and other books that were motivated by the success of EL James . Back then, the boys were domineering, jealous and possessive. Crazy for you reflects the literary culture of this period. On the book’s re-edition, some of Daniel’s lines and behaviors disturbed me and, in my opinion, are no longer acceptable in 2020, which led me to make relevant changes to the more sexist features of the character. In addition, I also felt Julie needed a greater awareness about her role in the world. May be, at the end of the reading, you still feel somewhat bothered, because in spite of the changes that took place, I didn’t want to change the “ess
Crazy For You Read the first chapter of “On tiptoe”
Read the first chapter of “On tiptoe ” It was dark when Mandy woke up. Still sleepy, she rubbed her hands in her eyes and noticed the open window in front of the bed. The voil curtain waved with the morning breeze, allowing her to catch a glimpse of the sky, which changed the tone slowly, gradually getting lighter. The orange and yellow rays blended into the night blue, making the clouds look like a grand Renaissance painting. Little by little, nature did its magic, the clarity arose accompanied by a bright sun and caused the girl's heart to accelerate. Mandy's always been an introspective girl. She thought a lot about everything, from every little decision she made to her role in the world. That day, it was no different. Although she barely started the day, she was thinking how the concept of time was relative while curling a lock of dark, straight brown hair on one finger. With a soft smile on her lips, she remembered when she was a child and how slowly she hoped th

Yes, the thin little blonde one, with glasses on and Sponge Bob pajamas, wrapped up in her duvet and hearing the moaning going on next door? Lovely to meet you, that’s me, and I’m going to tell you my story. Every night I wake up frightened by the sounds from the house next door. And every night I feel jealous of those moans f
Crazy For You Chapter two
Chapter two Julie On the following day, I push myself to get up at seven in the morning to take a shower and prepare for my morning run. There are two things I never give up in the morning: my giant dose of caffeine and my run. They are essential for me to be able to face the rest of the day, as I am a nocturnal person and I work at night. Tonight, I'm working at After Dark, and I have to be in a good mood to face the night. I put on some leggings, shine the sneakers, pick up the smartphone and select the playlist "Pop Divas", with the songs cheering me on to run. I walk out the door singing ‘Baby one more time’ as I warm up on my way to George’s house, my running mate and best friend. He knows everything about me — my musical dreams, and my unrequited passion for Danny. "George, let's go! Wake up!” I knock hard on the door of his house. "I'll be right there, little girl," he screams from inside. "Let me say goodbye to mi amor .” If G
Crazy For You Chapter three
Chapter three Julie While I wait for my two fairy godmothers, I go to the stage to talk to the boys of the band to find out what is the setlist of the night. I have good musical memory and zero difficulty reciting lyrics. Besides, I've sung with them countless times during rehearsal—and away from Danny, of course. "Is our star ready to shine?” Alan, the guitarist, asks. He's the hottest of the three musicians. Tall, very straight brown hair and full of tattoos. I often joke with Jo that he's the embodiment of Kellan Kyle, the good guy from S.C. Stephens' book, Intenso Demais . "Yesss!” I'm very nervous, but I want to do my best. I want this to be the first of many performances. "You know that when Danny finds out...” "Leave Danny out of it. Saturday night people come here because they want to dance to the sound of The Band. We can't let our fans down — I speak with a smile on my face, showing a safety I don't feel while trying to wrap him up.
