Just for Now

Hearts don’t realize they’ve been lied to. They still love anyway.

I love you. I love you so damn much it consumes me. I don't deserve you, but I'm gonna become the man who does deserve you. I promise you. I'll make you proud of me.

She loves you. Do you even know what to do with that?” I kissed the top of her head. “Cherish it like it’s the most precious thing on the face of the earth.

I didn't need taming. I needed saving.

Nothing about this thing we have is a bad thing. I’m not gonna lie about it: I don’t deserve you. I’m sure as hell not good enough for you, but as long as you want me, I’m all yours.

Sometimes the answer we need is in our heart. We just have to listen to it.

Calculus was not math. It was a fucking science experiment gone wrong.

Fine. You don’t want to be good enough for me, then you will never be. I deserve someone who wants to be what I need.

When you love someone, you can't lie to them. It hurts to much. It's a deception that goes too deep.

Preston pulled me up against his chest and cupped my face in his hands. “I love you. I love you so damn much it consumes me. I don’t deserve you, but I’m gonna become the man who does deserve you. I promise you. I’ll make you proud of me.”I reached up and ran my thumb over his lips. “I am and will always be proud of you. I want the world to know you’re mine.

Preston smirked. “You’re gonna have to stop calling me things like ‘gorgeous’ and ‘beautiful.’ I’m gonna get a complex. Why can’t I be ‘sexy,’ or maybe ‘irresistible’?

Are you sure it wasn't my sexy-as-hell voice whispering in your ear that caused your momentary lack of oxygen?

The few moments of heaven were not worth the hell he put me through when he was done.

I'll be good. I promise. I'll be the best damn friend you've ever had.

A tightness in my chest came out of nowhere. As I listened to Amanda reassure my brother, I wanted to pull her into my arms and cry. How damn crazy was that? This girl was making me a nutcase.

In the screwed-up life I’d been dealt, she was my only source of comfort.

Hey, sexy. Why haven’t you called?” The cooing sound came from behind me, and I glanced back over my shoulder to see a familiar-looking brunette. “Because I’m the asshole who never calls,” I replied with a wink.

Don't walk out of here. I can't lose you.

But when we find that one person who completes us, we don't give up. No matter how bad we screw up. We make it right.

I could never be what she wanted. She thought I was like Cage and the right girl could tame me. It wasn't about that. I didn't need taming. I needed fucking saving.

Having you close like this makes me forget the reasons why this won’t work. We will never work.

Just as I'd realize that I couldn't keep lying to her because I was in love with her, She'd realize that you can't love a lie." Preston Drake - "Just for Now
