“The flirting is all well and good, but I mean it when I tell you, I can't have you leaving me again. It almost broke me.”

“This flirting is all well and good, but I mean it when I tell you, I cant have you leaving me again. It almost broke me."My ribs seemed to squeeze all of the air out of my lungs at the thought. "I don't think I could. I don't want to be away from you again either.""But you need to give me a chance to fix things when I screw up. You know I'm an ass sometimes.""Sometimes?"Growling, he whispered, "And I tear lingerie."I pushed a curl off his forehead, "And hoard it. Don't forget the creepy hoarding.”

“You’re going to tell me that last night shouldn’t have happened.”No. I’m glad it happened. For too long, I’ve been telling myself that I could spend all this time with yo and flirt with you and not have it mean anything. It does mean something. You mean something to me. But I’m not in love with you.”

“You can't tell me I matter and then leave like I don't.”

“I get mad when you walk away (don't walk away from me cmon now), so I tell you leave when I mean stay”

“When someone tells me "no," it doesn't mean I can't do it, it simply means I can't do it with them.”
