Status Updates From Watch Me Fall (Start Someth...

Such a BAD cover but I loved the previous book by this author so I’m excited 😍

So glad to be getting back to this one...

Though he'd never felt the need to be protected, painfully aware he could take care of himself, he found he loved the feeling of strong arms wrapped around his waist.

~Sigh~ Such good stuff!!

// Okay, where's the next book?????? Gimme!!

// In the end, I'm thinking Gideon doesn't think he's good enough for Eli, which is absolute bullshit!! But Gideon's silence makes Eli doubt other things, and Eli doesn't deserve that!! Gideon needs to learn how to communicate his feelings, because it IS important here!!

I don't see how this book could possibly wrap up in the little we have left til the end!!

// I just think that Eli deserves more words and declarations from Gideon!! Gideon SHOWS Eli how he feels, but I feel like Eli needs and deserves MORE verbal assurances :-/! I don't want Eli to doubt anything, especially how Gideon feels about him:-/!!

// I hate that Gideon makes Eli doubt himself when it comes to telling Gideon how he feels about him [in this case, telling him he loves him]!! I get that Gideon is scared and absolutely terrified that someone will snatch his dreams away, or that Eli will decide he doesn't want to be with Gideon anymore, and THAT is where his hesitance is coming from!! But still, Eli doesn't REALLY know about all that :-/!!

// No no no no no, don't be an idiot, Gideon!! Don't join in; don't ruin your chances at DePaul :-/!!!!

// Balcony/Guardrail sex = SO FUCKING HOT!!!

// “DePaul is willing to offer you a full ride. Now this doesn’t include only tuition. We will be paying for everything. Your room and board, meal plan, books, supplies, and a stipend for basic expenses not to exceed three hundred dollars per month.”

~ WOOHOOOO!! I knew you could do it, Gideon 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊!! #NotSurprisedAtAll!!

// Oh come on now, you just played a 90-minute soccer game, you're all dirty and sweaty! I know rimming is hot and fun, but holy Batman, take a shower first!! You are NOT spick-and-span back there!! SHOWERRRR!!

// Remember when I said I liked Milatos?!!? Yeah, well forget it >:-o!! Something is really bothering me about that guy and I don't trust him for shit; he comes across as super smarmy and douchey!! Back the fuck off, "Millipede"!!

// Ugh I need to go to bed; it's 03:00 here and while I don't have to be up early tomorrow [I am off], I still want to get a proper night's rest :-)! Otherwise I'll be up all night reading!!

// Unputdownable!!

// A few things:
1. Don't let getting things get to your head, Gideon! I know they won't but I'm just saying!!
2. I hope Bryce gets together with either Officer Milatos or Keiran ... or both?!? :-D!!
3. Gideon, STOP TEXTING "K"!! It's obnoxious and rude!!

// Bryce is the BEST best friend <333!!

Also, I agree, lock him down ;-)!!

// Not too explicit, not too hot, but hey it was his first time, so this was good enough! It was good!! Can't wait to see what Gideon, the bossy bottom, will be demanding when he really gets into it next time ;-)!!

// “Elijah felt his heart jump into his throat. The opportunity Gideon was giving him meant more than he’d imagined it would. Though he’d told his shrink he feared he’d toss Gideon aside after he fucked him, he knew now he wouldn’t. Taking Gideon’s virginity didn’t feel like a conquest or a responsibility; it felt like a promise, one he wanted to make.”

~ ☺️☺️☺️!!

// No, you're "not a fucking pussy", you're an asshole, which is kind of the point ;-)!! LOL - couldn't resist!!

*** This is about Gideon wanting to make sure Eli knows he's not scared about getting fucked for the first time :-)!! LOL!!

// Response to previous update/quote:

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️!!

// “Suddenly, every worry he’d had about Elijah hours earlier began to fade away, leaving only the worry he could’ve thrown everything away over something that had been mostly out of Elijah’s control. As much as he craved the care Eli gave him, he wanted to provide Eli with the feeling of security, too. Though Gideon didn’t have much in the way of finances, he’d give Eli his loyalty, and that was a hell of a lot.”

// See full quote in review!!

// “I want this,” Gideon promised, his voice taking the same soft tone it seemed to revert to when Eli was holding him. “You,” he corrected. “I want you.”

~ Okay then 😊😊😊!! After all that, Gideon, I’m willing to forgive your mistake, because you so clearly and quickly saw the light!! Good for you 😊😊😊!! THAT is what Eli deserves!!

// “ He [Eli] looked browbeaten, as if the discussion had robbed him of the happiness he’d shown a short time before. Gideon hated to see Eli like that, and hated even more that he’d gotten so wrapped up in the information Coach Byrd gave him that he forgot about the man it pertained to.”

~ At least Gideon holds himself accountable!!
I want to smack Gideon so hard right now!!

// My heart hurts for Eli right now :-/!!

// You know what, right now, I don't feel like Eli deserve you and your shit, and you most definitely DO NOT DESERVE HIM!!!

I want to give Eli the biggest hug!! All he wants to do is shower affection of Gideon and all he gets in return right now is bullshit!!

// LOVING his best friend Bryce for putting him in his place about being "judge and juror" now :-D ... as if Gideon's some moralistic so-and-so who forgot where he came from and that HE did all sorts of shit for money and food!!

HELLOOOOOOO did you forget how you even MET Eli?!?! You fucking tried to MUG HIM!!

Gideon better knock it off with his sullen attitude or this book is going to go down sideways!!

// Gideon, please don't turn out to be a nasty, bigoted, prejudiced, judgemental, hypocrite!! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!!
With everything you've been through in life, you're gonna tell yourself you can't accept anyone else's shortcomings or mistakes?!!? DON'T BE AN ASSHOLE, DON'T BE AN ASSHOLE, DON'T BE AN ASSHOLE!!!

// Vent over!!

// AND YOU KNOW WHAT?!!? IF YOU'RE THAT INFLUENCED BY RUMORS AND HOW EASILY YOU CAN LOOK DOWN ON SOMEONE ELSE FOR HAVING MADE BAD DECISIONS OR HAVING HAD SHORTCOMINGS, YOU MOST DEFINITELY DO NOT DESERVE ELI!!!
