love

It__ not over, Maddie. It__ still not over between us. We need to talk.

There__ no more perfect way to fall asleep than having my arms wrapped around her while I breathe in her peaches and cream scent that is mixed with the scent of us and sweat.

Do you picture long nights making love by the fire and talking about everything and anything under the sun, and do you have the feeling that of anyone in the world, he just gets you? Like no other person in the world ever can?

If you find someone who makes you feel like you're complete, you need to fight for them.

We sit in an awkward silence for a few minutes before she speaks. __ou__e right. There__ more to it._ I__ not sure if I should wait and let her speak, or if she__ waiting for an acknowledgement. I slowly turn my head toward her and settle my eyes on hers. __ went through a rough time a few years ago. I wasn__ sure things would get better for me. One day, Rick and Jo were able to knock some sense into me. When a Phoenix dies, it rises from its ashes to have a new life._ Her eyes leave mine as she rolls to her back and stares at the stars. __he tattoo reminds me of that. One chapter of my life may end, but that doesn__ mean a new chapter won__ come from the ashes. It probably sounds silly to you.

Respect was invented to cover the empty place where love should be.

He was a ruffled haired, stubble faced, woman's dream, tangled in sheets. So I stepped away from the Ryker and went for coffee instead.

Listen, Harriet. I do unterstand. I know you don't want either to give or to take ... You don't want ever again to have to depend for happiness on another person.""That's true. That's the truest thing you ever said.""All right. I can respect that. Only you've got to play the game. Don't force an emotional situation and then blame me for it.""But I don't want any situation. I want to be left in peace.

She was thinking of his mouth on hers. Which seemed only fair since he__ given a lot of thought to the same thing.___ight,_ she whispered.__ight,_ he whispered back.And yet neither of them moved.

What drew her into O__iley__ like a bee to honey was the six-foot, broad-shouldered, dark eyes, dark smile of Finn O__iley himself.

Finn was different.And he was different because she wanted him in her life in a way she hadn__ wanted anyone for a very long time.Maybe ever.

As we drove off into the moonless night, raindrops danced through our headlights like the fireflies of my childhood. I silently cursed the frailty of happiness and doubted whether it ever existed for me. I could remember happier times, though, and those memories fluttered about my mind like fireflies, beckoning with their elusive splendor. But chasing memories held no more promise than catching fireflies. The pursued feelings either vanished or lost their magic upon examination, hardly the green-glowing beauty seen at a distance. So I looked ahead of me and dreamed on into the darkness, hoping to one day find someone who would love me.

Closing my eyes, I breathe in the air around me.When I slowly re-enter the world, I look into the most intense brown eyes I've ever seen. My breathing catches. I can__ look away. Fuck, he's hot. I can literally feel my brain cells frying. Who's dumb as a rock now, Alexis?I feel completely frozen and can__ move. I don__ even think I want to. Blink, Richards, blink."-AlexisWhat happens to someone who has everything figured out and doesn't let anyone rattle her?To some love is exciting. To her, it's a nuisance.
