Andshe’s out The book falls against her chest and I laugh quietly, but I don’t get up because the fact that she fell asleep doesn’t mean I’m ready to leave

I lie with her for about half an hour, confir the fact that yes, I’m definitely in love with her mouth I watch her sleep until my phone chimes I scoot her away from me and onto her back, then pull my phone out ofcrazy n I think I’et me I can’t drive I drank and I hate her

She’s snoring

Chapter Thirteen-and-a-half

Les,

Sky, Sky, Sky, Sky, Sky, Sky, Sky, Sky, Sky

There Get used to it, because I have a feeling she’s all I’ about for a while Oh, irl is And when I say perfect, Iwith her But everything wrong with her is everything that draws me in and makes her perfect

She’s flat-out rude to me and I love it She’s stubborn and I love it She’s a s that comes out of her mouth is like music to my ears because that’s exactly what I want She’s what I need and I don’t want her to change at all There’s not a single thing about her I would change

There is one thing about her that worries h, and that’s the fact that she seems to be a little emotionally detached And as noticeable as it hen I saw her with Grayson, I don’t see that at all when she’s with me I’m almost convinced she feels different aboutif I said I wasn’t worried that she wouldn’t feel anything if I kissed her Because da bad but I’m too scared I’m scared if I kiss her too soon, it’ll feel like every other kiss she’s ever received She’ll feel nothing

I don’t want her to feel nothing when I kiss her I want her to feel everything
