Binding 13: Boys of Tommen #1

"She makes my heart go, like, whoa."

"No, no, no, Da, I'm serious," I slurred. "I think I love that girl."

You are friends with me because you love me," he purred. "Because I'm the only one that makes your cheeks turn pink–" he paused and stroked her cheek with his finger, "in more ways than one."

His blue eyes burned holes inside of me when he said, "Thanks."

"For what?" I whispered.

Johnny smiled. "For being nothing like the rest of them."

"I like her, Gibs. I think I really like her, man. Like really as in a lot. A lot more than fucking like. Christ!"

"It's okay or you're okay?"

"What do you want me to do with him?" Joey asked.
I shrugged and contemplated telling him to drive over the annoying fucker, but then I knew I would be terribly lonely without him.

"He wasn’t feeling well," Gibsie replied. "I took him for a walk."
"You took your cat for a walk?" Lizzie shook her head. "Boy needs institutionalizing."
"It's not that strange," he huffed defensively. "I live across the street."
"Did you put a leash on him?"
"Obviously." Gibsie looked at her like it was the dumbest thing he'd ever heard. "How else was I supposed to walk him over here?"
Lizzie shook her head. "Then I stand by my previous statement."
