Shit Said Quote by Kim Jones
““Moped,” I say, my face serious. “What?” “Moped. You have to ride a moped.” He shakes his head. “I’m not riding a fucking moped.” I poke my lips out. “Not even for me?” “Nope.” “But you said you’d do anything for me.” His brow lifts. “I didn’t say that.” “But I’m your dream girl,” I whine. “I didn’t say that shit either. I said I love you. Which translates to: you’ll do until some better bitch comes along.” “Say it again.” “You’ll do until some better bitch comes along,” he repeats. I narrow my eyes. He smiles. “I love you, baby.””
