"Masochistic or not, if I turned back and looked at those midnight blue eyes again, I was going to drown in them."

day 6: birthday 🐝🎂
“Baby, I’ve watched you get stung by a bee and not retaliate.”
“Because we need to save the bees!” Shannon urged.
happy birthday to the best girl! 💖
Shannon relaxed, so I asked her everything; from her preference between Nike and Adidas, to her views on the big bang theory, until she was laughing and talking freely.
"Every time, Shannon like the river," he purred, kissing her neck. "Every time, baby." He pulled back to look at her and released a masculine growl of approval. "You take the breath clean out of me."
"Did I ever tell you about the time your girl saved me from Brian?"
"Brian?" I questioned, thinking about Mrs. Gibson's evil bastard of a cat. "Shannon saved you from Brian?"
"She sure did," he mused. "I love how you don’t even deny she's yours anymore, lad."
My brows furrowed. "Why did Gibsie call Johnny his center?"
"Johnny's position is outside center in rugby," he explained. "He's number 13."
Oh, yeah, I knew that.
I remembered his jersey.
I spend my nights stalking that bleeding Bebo account that Claire set up for you, and I tell you this without a single ounce of shame. * By the way, I made my own account so accept me as your other half please*
I was young but I wasn’t stupid, and I knew that harboring any sort of feelings, harmless crush or not, for a boy like Johnny Kavanagh would do me no favors in the long run.
Snatching the paper out of my mother's hands, I stared down at the girl who'd been driving me crazy for the best part of two months.
Jesus, she looked gorgeous; all wide-eyed and smiling as I held her to my side.
The top of her head grazed my armpit, that's how tiny she was.
She walked away from me.
I called her and she walked the fuck away.
I wasn’t used to being dismissed or ignored, and that wasn’t me being a cocky shit.
Smiling loosely, he added, "And you'd still be the best thing these eyes have ever seen." He pointed at his own eyeballs. "Yep, these ones love looking at you."
