I'm going to take a shower, " I said and prepared for the comment I knew was coming. "You know what they say, conserve water and shower with a friend.Chelsea M. Cameron

The problem isn't that I'm uncomfortable with it, the problem is that I want it! " I yelled. It was official; I'd lost it. Oh well, I wasn't known for having a long fuse. "Are you happy? Jesus. You say something like that and then expect me to just be whatever about it. That's like teasing someone with a giant red velvet cake and then putting it in one of those glass rotating desert thingies." I wasn't my most eloquent at the moment." Does this mean I'm the cake?"" Shut up, it was a metaphor."" So you want me?" So much it hurt. "Yes, " I whispered. "Right now?"" Yes."" Oh." Now he was the one who sounded nervous. "It's just.. a surprise."" I told you I would entertain the idea."" I know. I just didn't think you'd be so enthusiastic so soon."" Hunter, I'm a virgin. Not a nun." He didn't talk for a moment." That was the sexiest thing you've ever said. God, why do you do this to me?.Chelsea M. Cameron

So what now?" he said. "What do you mean?"" What do we do now? We can't just be roommates."" You said you didn't like me."" I don't like you. I don't like how your hair smells, and how I can't stop thinking about waking up and seeing your face. I hate how my bed felt empty when you left. I don't like how good you were with my family, especially Harper, and how I wanted to see you with then again, but not just as a guest. As a member. You're right. I don't like you at all."" When did you change your mind?"" My mind never changed. I've wanted you since the moment you opened the door and had that stunned look on your face. It just took me a while to admit it. Why deny it now? It is what it is and it's not going to change."" Oh."" This doesn't mean I'm going to be nice. I'm still going to be an ass. I'll just be an ass who apologizes and brings you flowers to say he's been a dick."" Chocolate, " I said. "What?""I'd rather have chocolate when you apologize."" Chocolate it is." He smiled. "So does that mean what I think it means?"" No. It just means that you get to bring me chocolate when you've been an ass. I'm going to weigh three hundred pounds." I focused my attention back on the peppers. I couldn't think about Hunter's declaration of.. whatever it was. Footsteps didn't make me look up. "Taylor, look at me. Please." Damn. If only he didn't say please. "I can't promise to not make you mad. I can't promise that I won't hurt you. All I can promise is that I want you in my life, and I'll do anything to keep you there.Chelsea M. Cameron

You're not just doing that to impress her, are you?"" Everything I do is to impress her. It's my mission in life, " he said with a completely serious face, while he squeezed my knee under the table. Mom burst out laughing. "I like him, " she said." Me too. I think I'll keep him, " I said, taking his hand and twisting my fingers with his. "Good, " he said, giving my hand a squeeze.Chelsea M. Cameron

Love is simple. You fall and that's it. You'll work the other stuff out. You just gotta let yourself fall and have faith that someone will be there to catch you." I didn't want to do any falling. Falling usually led to meeting a hard surface in an unpleasant way.Chelsea M. Cameron
