Crazy For You Chapter sixteen
Chapter sixteen Daniel Knock. Knock. I knock on the bedroom door, but Julie doesn’t answer. Holding the tray with the morning coffee and both hands, I use the elbow to open the door. Julie, who’s already awake, turns away without talking to me - this almost breaks my heart. With a soft sigh, I try to remain positive and get closer. “Good morning, baby,” I speak softly and put the tray on the dresser on the right hand corner of the room while she remains with her back turned to me. “I brought coffee, toast, cheese and...” “You can leave it there. Thank you,” she says in a serious manner and pulls the duvet further up, without even turning. “Hmm... “ I mutter, baffled. “Right.” I put the tray on the dresser and I get out of the bedroom. I tilt my neck left and right while I go back to the kitchen, seeking coffee for myself. I let out a long yawn. I’m broken. Since we came back from hospital, Julie’s been ice cold to me. I’ve been sleeping on th
Crazy For You Chapter seventeen
Chapter seventeen Julie I look around the bar and quickly my eyes find Daniel’s. He’s standing next to Zack, and Rafe says something that makes them three laugh out loud. Seeing Danny laugh makes me smile because I love the way the whole of his face turns when he’s happy. The green eyes shine even more and the corners of the eyes fringe while the lips curve into a beautiful smile. “Love suits him.” George’s voice sounds behind me and I turn to face him. My friend smiles and I hug him. It’s been a few days since we last saw each other. “Being loved suits me,” I say and George winks at me, with that hint of a smile on the corner of his lips as if he knew all the world’s secrets. It’s no secret to anybody that I’m head over heels in love. But, as opposed to the beginning of our relationship, Daniel now seems to return all my love. He seems more mature and committed and our relationship seems to have reached another level since we made up. Since we g
Crazy For You Chapter eighteen
Chapter eighteen Julie After I get out of Daniel’s house, I go to mine and remain there enough time just to put some pieces of clothing in a travel bag and call an Uber, which leaves me at a hotel. I spend two days locked in the room crying and feeling sorry for myself. My world had collapsed. I loved Daniel with all my heart. I loved him my whole life, but I’m not going to settle anymore without having everything I deserve. And taking into account the latest events, I understood that he would never give me everything. Unfortunately, his fear of commitment was a lot bigger than his feelings for me. After two days in complete depression, I take a look at myself in the mirror when I go to the bathroom and I’m horrified at what I see. I look dreadful. With my nose red, swollen eyes and the hair messed up. To see the reflection of my emotional destruction in front of the mirror is what I needed to make me put an end to it. “Enough, Julie,” I say as I look at mys
Crazy For You Chapter twenty
Chapter twenty Julie Sitting in front of the window overlooking Central Park, I lean my head on the glass, holding the small, slightly crumpled photo from being held so often. Like Jenny said, the baby's just a little grain, but it's fine. George and I were very moved during the ultrasound, and as I left the consulting room, I was really thankful of Jenny's support, who had been amazing with me. I went back to the hotel with George, who helped me finish packing and was the one who took me to the airport the next day, reinforcing the promise that he wouldn't tell anyone about the baby. He wanted to come with me, but I didn't think it was fair. He had his own life to take care of and I was a big girl, even though I was heartbroken. I talked to Rob when I arrived, and told him about the pregnancy. Luckily, he was sweet and said that wasn't a deterrent for me to be hired. So here I am, almost a month after I left L.A., trying to forget the fool who broke m
Crazy For You Chapter twenty one
Chapter twenty one Julie Daniel goes across the hotel with me in his arms and I understand that quite a few employees already knew his plan, because they smile at me and give him a positive sign. “Danny, did everybody know?” “Of course. How do you think I would be able to close one of the most important bars of New York? I had to tell my story.” “You mean, our story.” “ My story. Of how I went in a short time from confirmed bachelor to passionate asshole,” he says and we both laugh. We go up to the eighth floor, with me still on his lap. As we arrive, he follows the corridor up to my bedroom door. “Baby, get the key card out of my pocket.” he asks and I open my mouth, astonished. “How do you have my bedroom’s key card? I ask with a raised eyebrow. “Rob gave it to me. He’s a hopeless romantic...” Daniel tells and winks, and then waves towards the door. “But he made me swear that I would only use it if you forgave me.” “I guess I’m gonna ha
Crazy For You Epilogue
Epilogue Julie I can hardly believe that cold New York was left behind and that I’m back in Los Angeles in the arms of the man I love. In the following day, I didn’t even have to tell Rob that I would like to go back home. He said himself that as soon as Daniel contacted him, he knew that I wouldn’t stay at The Rose Club. That my home is where my heart was and released me from the agreement without a problem, for which I’ll be forever grateful. When the plane lands at LAX, I can hardly contain the cold I feel in my tummy. I wasn’t away for long, but it’s like another life. “Baby, everything all right? “ Daniel asks as he sees my blank stare into the window of the plane, while we wait to get out of the plane. “Yes, all good...I was just thinking...” “About what?“ he asks and frowns. “About how everything changed...” “And is that bad?“ he asks, tilting his head to the side. I smile and shake my head, denying. “No, of course not.” I put my hand
Crazy For You Author’s note
Author’s note Dear reader, I hope you had fun and enjoyed reading Crazy for you , the first book in the After Dark series. But before closing, I would like to make an observation I believe to be important: Crazy for you was written in 2013. It’s important to keep in mind that it was written a little after the boom of Fifty Shades of Grey and other books that were motivated by the success of EL James . Back then, the boys were domineering, jealous and possessive. Crazy for you reflects the literary culture of this period. On the book’s re-edition, some of Daniel’s lines and behaviors disturbed me and, in my opinion, are no longer acceptable in 2020, which led me to make relevant changes to the more sexist features of the character. In addition, I also felt Julie needed a greater awareness about her role in the world. May be, at the end of the reading, you still feel somewhat bothered, because in spite of the changes that took place, I didn’t want to change the “ess
Crazy For You Read the first chapter of “On tiptoe”
Read the first chapter of “On tiptoe ” It was dark when Mandy woke up. Still sleepy, she rubbed her hands in her eyes and noticed the open window in front of the bed. The voil curtain waved with the morning breeze, allowing her to catch a glimpse of the sky, which changed the tone slowly, gradually getting lighter. The orange and yellow rays blended into the night blue, making the clouds look like a grand Renaissance painting. Little by little, nature did its magic, the clarity arose accompanied by a bright sun and caused the girl's heart to accelerate. Mandy's always been an introspective girl. She thought a lot about everything, from every little decision she made to her role in the world. That day, it was no different. Although she barely started the day, she was thinking how the concept of time was relative while curling a lock of dark, straight brown hair on one finger. With a soft smile on her lips, she remembered when she was a child and how slowly she hoped th
