Quotes by Chelsea M. Cameron

I cant promise not to make you mad. I cant promise that I wont hurt you. All I can promise is that I want you in my life, and Ill do anything to keep you there.

I love you, Missy girl. Even if I cant be with you, know that Im here. So, thats it. More than the stars, Taylor. More than the stars.

There must be a mistake, I said. He adjusted his bag on his shoulder. Thats a creative name. What do you shorten it to? Missy?

I cant take anything you dont give me. Stop giving me power over your life.

Im 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.

Sex is one of those things thats complete loss of control. You give yourself up, in your most vulnerable state, to another person, and they give themselves to you.

The problem isnt that Im uncomfortable with it, the problem is that I want it! I yelled. It was official; Id lost it. Oh well, I wasnt 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. Thats like teasing someone with a giant red velvet cake and then putting it in one of those glass rotating desert thingies. I wasnt my most eloquent at the moment.Does this mean Im 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. Its just... a surprise.I told you I would entertain the idea.I know. I just didnt think youd be so enthusiastic so soon.Hunter, Im a virgin. Not a nun.He didnt talk for a moment.That was the sexiest thing youve ever said. God, why do you do this to me?

I nearly had a cakegasm at the table. My eyes rolled back in my head, and I moaned. Sweet Christ. I opened my eyes to find Hunter watching me with the strangest expression on his face.What? Its really good; you should try some, I said, pushing the plate at him. It was a testament of how embarrassed I was about the cakegasm that I was even sharing at all.I swear, if there werent a table between us, I would be kissing you right now. And none too gently.I put my form down and swallowed so I wouldnt choke. You didnt seem to mind about the recliner, I said. True. But there want an audience, and thats a very ugly recliner. This is a very nice table. Also there is glass and sharp things I wouldnt want hurting you.Good point. Please, have some.If youre going to make that noise and that face again, I dont know if I can let you have any more.Ill be good. I swear.Youre not good. Thats the problem.Youre right. Im not, I said, giving him my own smirk. I do try, though.Cruel. Thats the word to describe you right now.Just have some cake.

So what now? he said. What do you mean?What do we do now? We cant just be roommates.You said you didnt like me.I dont like you. I dont like how your hair smells, and how I cant stop thinking about waking up and seeing your face. I hate how my bed felt empty when you left. I dont 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. Youre right. I dont like you at all.When did you change your mind?My mind never changed. Ive 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 its not going to change.Oh.This doesnt mean Im going to be nice. Im still going to be an ass. Ill just be an ass who apologizes and brings you flowers to say hes been a dick.Chocolate, I said. What?Id 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 youve been an ass. Im going to weigh three hundred pounds. I focused my attention back on the peppers. I couldnt think about Hunters declaration of... whatever it was. Footsteps didnt make me look up. Taylor, look at me. Please. Damn. If only he didnt say please. I cant promise to not make you mad. I cant promise that I wont hurt you. All I can promise is that I want you in my life, and Ill do anything to keep you there.

Youre not just doing that to impress her, are you?Everything I do is to impress her. Its 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 Ill keep him, I said, taking his hand and twisting my fingers with his. Good, he said, giving my hand a squeeze.

You can stay on the porch. Like how you left me on the floor outside our room.I didnt know what else to do. You found the check, and I panicked.That isnt an excuse.I know. And Im not saying that this is going to make up for it. Im going to try, really try, to make you trust me again. I want you to trust me. I just... I couldnt sleep last night without you. It was the strangest thing, being in the room alone without you. I couldnt hear you breathing, and your laughter was gone and you were gone, and it was like a part of my life was missing. A big part. I tripped going to the bathroom and banged my head. See? He pointed to a lovely gash on his forehead.And then I burned my hand on the toaster oven. And then my car wouldnt start. Again. Ive never had such bad luck in my life.

Sometimes people don’t want the truth. Sometimes the truth is worse than a lie.

Love is simple. You fall and thats it. Youll work the other stuff out. You just gotta let yourself fall and have faith that someone will be there to catch you.I didnt want to do any falling. Falling usually led to meeting a hard surface in an unpleasant way.

“I cant take anything you dont give me. Stop giving me power over your life.”

“I cant promise not to make you mad. I cant promise that I wont hurt you. All I can promise is that I want you in my life, and Ill do anything to keep you there.”
