Because I only want what’s best for you. I only want you…
““Because I only want what’s best for you. I only want you to be happy.” “Why?” Charlie gave a frustrated growl, grabbed her hand and yanked her into his arms. The towel fell to the sand behind her. “Because, Geek Girl, I fucking love you. And if you’re not happy, I can’t be happy.” And with that, he crushed his lips to hers, and kissed her as though there were no tomorrow. As though he’d almost lost the woman he loved and couldn’t quite believe he held her in his arms again. As though he’d never let her go.””
