I was still a nerd in some ways, but I’d be that nerd on my own terms. Not to please anyone else. Not to be anyone else. I was me and fuck anyone who didn’t like it
Stumbling to my feet, I glanced at my mom who still sat at the table. She looked at me then Larry then lowered her gaze and returned to her coupons. The logical choice for me was to run from the house...
KIRK: Anger will get you through the tough times when thinking happy f*cking thoughts about family and friends won’t do it. Just don’t let the anger eat you up until it’s all you got left. I know too...
Finishing her cigarette, Raven put it out in the ashtray then sighed. I never really bought into the God thing. Religion felt like a lie men told to make people listen to them. Mostly, it seemed dumb...
Baby Cooper and Aaron running around causing trouble, Dad said, setting an album on Lark’s lap. Aaron was a very good baby. Didn’t cry at all. Not once. When I laughed, Dad gave me a wink. Here was ou...
Unfortunately, while you can snag a man by being hot, you can’t keep him. To keep them, you have to be confident and I am. I’m just confident enough to pack on a few pounds from eating tacos. I’m a ke...
Listen up, nerd, he said, glancing over his shoulder while I wrapped myself against his back. Man, you feel good like that. Your huge brain is working at a wavelength I don’t understand. Repeat what y...
I’m so sick of sitting on this fucking thing, she sighed, finding a comfortable spot. After they’re born, let’s burn the couch. Or donate it, Aaron said, bringing her a glass of water. Don’t ruin my d...
Just because you came from shit doesn’t mean you’re shit. You’re so much better than what you’ve known and I bet you’ll be a fucking awesome mom
Once in the small master bedroom, Lark didn’t look around or make chitchat. She just stared up at me with those wonderful green eyes and waited. I sensed she wasn’t unsure about me as much as sex. Hav...
SALLY: Grab what you want and hope for the best.
Tommy continued to leer at me like he often did through the curtains while promising to make me squeal. I didn’t think he would give up his prize with just one guy standing in his way. Even moving fas...
Your mom is a great cook, I said, enjoying the macaroni salad. Yeah, self taught. Trial and error. Can you cook? We usually didn’t have a kitchen in the motel. I can warm stuff up, but that’s it. Coop...
I'm not someone who offers advice. I don’t believe people really want anything besides sympathy when they ask for advice. I know I don’t.
I expected Candy to pick a different rental house. The little yellow one always gets positive comments from broads. Instead, she chose the blocky, brick house. It’s the kind of house I’d have picked....
Johnny pats his son on the back like the owner of a violent dog trying to keep it on a leash.
I have plans with my sisters on Fridays. What kind of plans? Shrugging, I stare at the frozen TV screen. The kind that don’t involve you. I don’t know what that means. Sounds wrong somehow for the wor...
Say you’re beautiful, I whispered, stroking her. I’m beautiful. Good, I murmured, kissing her jaw then moving south. Say it again.
I shivered as Raven scratched me gently. She was in a weird mood, nipping and licking like a hyper mouse. Did you drink too much caffeine today? I asked. Raven looked at me and I saw her walls ready t...
