Extraits

“I wanted to cry because I needed you there with me so bad. I knew in that moment that I was in love with you. I was in love with the way you loved me. When you wrapped your arms around me and held me, I knew that no matter what happened with my life, you were my home. You stole the biggest piece of my heart that night.”

“I love you so much, baby. I don't deserve to touch you until you know for a fact that I'm touching you because I love you and for no other reason.”

“When I touch you, I’m touching you because I want to make you happy. When I kiss you, I’m kissing you because you have the most incredible mouth I’ve ever seen and you know I can’t not kiss it. And when I make love to you—I’m doing exactly that. I’m making love to you because I’m in love with you... I’m touching you because I’m in love with you and for no other reason.”

“Sky, if you’re asking me to stop, I will. But I’m hoping you’re not, because I really don’t want to stop, so please.” He pulls back and looks down into my eyes, still barely moving his body against mine. His eyes are full of ache and worry and he’s breathless when he speaks. “We won’t go any further than this, I promise. But please don’t ask me to stop where we already are. I need to watch you and I need to hear you because the fact that I know you’re actually feeling this right now is so fucking amazing. You feel incredible and this feels incredible and please. Just… please.”

“Not everything is going to go my way and not everyone gets a happily ever after. Life is real and sometimes it’s ugly and you just have to learn how to cope.”

Si tu savais comme je te vis, Sky.

Je ne cherche pas à me faire des amis ou à impressionner qui que ce soit. Alors tant que ma réputation injustifiée n'entravera pas mes objectifs, tout iras très bien pour moi.

Enfin j'espère.

En dépit des apparences, je ne suis pas une fille facile. A moins, bien sûr, que le terme ne désigne expressément une fille qui sort avec plein de mecs, indépendamment de l'attirance qu'elle ressent pour eux. Auquel cas, il y a peut-être matière à débat.

J'aimerais croire que depuis dix-sept ans que j'existe, tous les choix on été judicieux. Avec un peu de chance l'intelligence se mesure au poids et toutes les bonnes décisions que j'ai prises l'emporteront sur mes rares erreurs.
