"Sure. Same," I murmur when Sky pinches my leg, but I catch the boy's blue eyes in the review mirror, "You hungry, kid?" "Uhm, yeah, I could eat," he murmurs, not even able to meet my eyes. "You're going to fucking crash," Sky whispers, pinching me again. God, she's doing some real damage. I tur
Sky pulls my arm until she reaches my ear. "You need to stop acting like her older brother," Sky whispers, but she could've said anything. I don't even pay attention because my eyes roll back. I felt her lips on my ear, "She'll never respect you if you don't put your foot down." "Sorry," I murmu
"So, what's the deal? My daughter is mad at me, so she won't tell me," I say, giving my card to the lady, then I look back at him. "The deal of what? The fight we had?" He asks, nervously. "Sure, how was the fight?" I ask, looking at his fading black eye and lightly split lip, "You hit my daugh
“Wait… do we know who the father is?” My aunt Sandy asks. My mom turns to chew her up, but then closes her mouth and looks back at me with the same question on her eyes. “Yes! It’s Farrow!” I respond. I get no reactions, everyone just stays frozen, “He’s living with me again, by the way.” “Oh, d
The drive back to my mom's house feels like shit because even though I'm a grown ass woman, here she is again scolding me for yet another unplanned pregnancy. "You're just so dumb," she repeats, shaking her head at me as she drives, "And what are you going to do about Farrow?" “I have no idea w
“You’re not going to say it back?” Farrow asks because I’ve been silent for over five seconds, not knowing what the hell to say, “I know you love me, Sky, so just say it. It doesn’t have to mean anything, just say the words.” “Or what?” I mumble. “Or I’ll never tell you the gross word Bobbie ca
"Sky," I groan, my head still buried in her sheets. Like this, I can almost imagine she's right here. I can imagine we're in our bedroom like every night and she's doing her weird hair and face concoctions in her vanity and I'm waiting impatiently for her to just fucking come to bed so I can get t
Every time Sky tried to make us hang out with them, I made an excuse. I simply didn’t want to see him and Hope interact because it would make me uncomfortable. It would make me doubt everything about my own relationship and it gave me anxiety about Sky finding her own mate and how she would interact
It takes me two seconds to move, but I get up and walk to him. He looks so handsome right now, wearing a crisp white button shirt with black dress pants and his hair styled the way I told him I liked it. And the way he's carrying those roses... yeah, I'd like a picture too. Good luck my mom is being
"Well, you fucked up by giving it to me so early," I laugh, "Even if we're together, I'll hide it for a while. I just don't want people all in our business asking why I let a boy mark me without a ring on my finger like a dirty whore." "Oh, shut up," he says, rolling his eyes and chuckling, "As if
I blink, still unable to believe this is even happening. “That means putting a pause on you being ‘single’,” he continues after a few seconds, “I know I haven’t earned any rights to you, what I’m asking for is the fair chance to get those rights. And if possible, clear instructions from time to ti
I sigh as I look at him, still nervous. "So I ruined your control when I figured out I was in love with you," I say. Henry takes a deep breath and nods, "But we're not kids anymore, Henry. So why did you reject me? I just don't... I don't think you 'liking me' is enough. What I feel for you goes b
I am listening. I mean, I'm still too confused to do anything other than listen. Henry opens his mouth but doesn't get a chance to say anything because my friends are trying to come back inside. "I said fuck off," he repeats, reaching to lock the door, "Go to your stupid party or whatever, then yo
"I noticed… hell, I asked for it," I admit, sighing and going to my closet to grab something. They follow me, demanding to know, "I asked him to pretend the last month didn't happen. I realized I liked my life more before, with the way we were. I just have to... slowly fall in love with another man.
Only ten minutes later, Bobbie comes into the kitchen and she starts helping me. We don't say anything about the bathroom situation. "Mags and Tams are sleeping over tomorrow," she lets me know as I'm driving to uni. I try to hide my annoyance, unsuccessfully, "They despise you too, now more than
Now I know how is like to touch her, to kiss her and fuck her for real, not as a dumb kid. Now my wolf is involved. Now I know what I'm missing and I want it back. ➿➿➿➿ For two days, we go back one month ago before the clusterfuck of feelings. We go to school, we go to work, we hang out with
"You haven't been doing things right, Henry. And I'm disappointed in you. If you love her... show her. Say it. It won't make you less of a man or whatever you think. She needs to hear it and see it, do you get that? It's not enough to just feel it, speak up." Damn. I gulp and nod. "Exactly what
