matter how stubborn I am, no matter how hard I fight you. Even when I push you
as far away as I can and when it’s not far enough, I cross the planet to get
away from you. No matter what, it will always be me and you.”
"He brought his
face as close to mine as he could. Chocolate chip cookies laced his breath and
what girl in her right mind doesn’t want to be kissed by a boy who tastes like
chocolate. His gray eyes danced around my face before landing on my lips. It
wasn’t his eyes I wanted on my mouth. His eyes and mouth rose simultaneously in
a smile, “Took you long enough.”
“I’m not.” I defied him.
“Yes, you do. Every time I’m in a room with you and I can’t touch you—you break me. Every time you pretend that we are only friends—you break me. Does it make you happy to break me, Querida?”
“That should be
us. We should be in the streets, enjoying life together. Sometimes this ability
doesn’t seem like a gift at all. Sometimes it seems like false freedom.” I
whispered more to the dark than to Colby. I could feel her take a deep breath
with her back against my chest.
“One day it will be. That’s all I want.”
“Tell me what you want, Querida. Tell me all of it.” Her hair moved as the motion of my whisper floated across it.
“Just go to sleep, Theo.” Her voice drifted with the last words.
“No.”

“No.”
About the Author:
Lila Felix is full of antics and stories. She refused to go to Kindergarten after the teacher made her take a nap on the first day of school. She staged her first protest in middle school. She almost flunked out of her first semester at Pepperdine University because she was enthralled with their library and frequently was locked in. Now her husband and three children have to put up with her rebel nature in Louisiana where her days are filled with cypress trees, crawfish, and of course her books and writing. She writes about the ordinary people who fall extraordinarily in wild, true love.
