Bijou Hunter Quote
Cooper’s dark eyes studied my face then he smiled. I really am crazy about you. Let me make it up to you. What about Nick? I asked, daring him to freak out again. His jaw twitching, Cooper shrugged. He’s a guy. He gets it. In fact, I think he’s hot for one of those giggly blondes in class. Shar, I think is the one. No need for me or anyone else to care about old Nick. So I can study with him? Cooper narrowed his eyes and exhaled hard. Why him? He’s in a bunch of my classes and he takes great notes. Great notes? Is that code? I waited all day to see you, Coop, I said, placing my hand on his chest where I knew the cross was hiding under his white tee. I missed you then you ruined everything by focusing on him. Will you keep doing that? I need you to focus on me. You want me, right? Not him. I want you so much, but I think it’s a mistake. You obviously don’t trust me. Don’t make it about trust. It’s not even about you. What the hell does that mean? I asked, removing my hand. Cooper looked ready to grab my hand and return it to his chest. I saw him fight the urge then he forced a smile. A really fake smile that never reached his eyes. It’s about me. It’s about my feeling like someone is trying to take away what I need. You aren’t doing anything. I just can’t have a man sniffing around my girl. He’s not sniffing around me. Don’t be naïve. You said he liked Shar. Why do you care who he likes? Backing away, I sighed. I’m taking the bus home. No, wait, he said, wrapping his arms around me as I retreated. Look, I’m jealous. That’s not a bad thing, is it? If you saw me with some chick, wouldn’t you be jealous? Yes, but I wouldn’t freak out and scare everyone. That’s because you’re classy. I was raised to be a caveman though. I should get credit for not taking you by the hair and dragging you back to my cave. You know, after clubbing your boyfriend to death first. You’re nuts. I’m teasing you. Not completely, I said, staring at him in horror. No, not completely. Well, I’m not kidding about clubbing him to death, but I’d never drag you back to my cave. Me want woman to want it bad.
