“What rules?”

“Well, for one, I’m not allowed to break your heart,” he says. “Second, I’m also not allowed to break your damn heart. And last, I’m not allowed to fucking break your damn heart.”
― Colleen Hoover, Ugly Love

I don't know if I can do this , Miles . I don't know if I can fallow rule number two , Because I suddenly want to climb into your future more than I want to climb into the backseat with you.

Sometimes not speaking says more than all words in the world . Sometimes my silence is saying , I don't know how to speak to you. I don't know what you're thinking . Talk to me . Tell me everything you've ever said . All the words. Starting from your very first one . I wonder what his silence is saying

sleep well, Miles ? he asked as Miles took a seat at the table . I thought he was going to flush with embarrassment but instead , he regared my dad with a shake his head . Not too well , Miles replied . Your son talks in his sleep. My father picked up his glass and listed it in miles's direction. Good to know you were in the room with corbin last night . Luckily , Corbin had yet to sit down and hear that comment from my father .

So Miles I say . Let me see if I've got this straight . You haven't had sex in six . years . you haven't had a girlfriend in six years . You haven't kissed a girl in eight hours . You don't like relationships , obviously . Or love. But you're a guy . Guys have needs .
He's watching me , still amused . Go on , he says with that unintentionally sexy smirk . You don't want to be attracted to me , but you are . you want to have sex with me , but you don't want to date me . You also don't want to love me . You also don't want me to love you. I'm still amusing him . He's still smiling . I didn't realize I was so transparent .
You're not Miles , Believe me .
If we do this , I think we should take it slow , I say teasingly I don't want to pressure you into anything you aren't ready for. You're practically a virgin .
He loses his smile and takes three deliberately slow steps toward me . I stop smiling , because he is seriously intimidating . when he reaches me , he places his hands on either side of me ,then leans in close to my neck . It's been six years , Tate . Believe me when I tell you I'm ready . Those all just became my new favorite words , too Believe me and when I and tell and you and I'm and ready . Favorites All of them .
He pulls back and can more than likely tell I'm not breathing at the moment . He steps back to his spot opposite from me He's shaking his head like he can't believe what just happened . I can't believe I just asked you for sex. What kind of guy does that ? I swallow pretty much all of them.
