It's been a month.
A month exactly, actually.
I guess you could say I took a hiatus.
But now I am back.
And things will be different in the summer.
Aaanyway.
Finally. After eighteen chapters of stupid, things get less stupid.
This chapter begins with nightmares.
Juliette wakes up and starts scrambling around for the paper, the proof that Adam is, in fact, super horny.
And then she runs into Adam.
Who's sleeping on the floor.
Next to her.
Without her knowing.
Shirtless.
Need more proof he's super horny?
He tells her to lie down...on the floor, next to him, and drapes a blanket over her while she watches him. Metaphor-izing about how him being shirtless makes her unable to breathe or whatever.
When she wakes up, she goes into the bathroom, where she finds him all bruised and feels rather guilty.
They proceed to have a very stuttered and short conversation, in which no definite thing is actually said.
"'Juliette.' His voice hugs the letters in my name so softly I die 5 times in that second. His face is a forest of emotion. He shakes his head. 'I'm sorry,' he says, so quietly I'm certain I imagined it. 'It's not...' He clenches his jaw and runs a nervous hand through his hair. 'All of this- it's not-"
I open my palm to him. The paper is a crumpled wad of possibility. 'I know.'"
...
Well, thanks for clearing that up.
Somehow, though, they miraculously understand each other and Adam is all relieved she found the paper.
She's about to say something and he motions for her to stop. While Warner isn't pervy enough to watch her in the bathroom (at least not yet, anway), there might be microphones.
So he turns on the shower. To muffle the sound. Makes sense, right? They can't be heard now.
...and then he pulls her into it.
Clothed, and so is he.
Cause logic.
And here I get all drifty and "awwww" but I'll do my best.
She's all spacey and metaphor-ing more than she ever has cause HOLY SHIT HE CAN TOUCH ME.
It's a valid reaction.
The metaphors really are fantastic, though. Here are a couple, as well as some of Juliette just being CRAZY horny.
"I want to cry out for all the wrong reasons. His eyes pin me in place. His urgency ignites my bones."
"My skin is scorched everywhere he's not touching me. His lips are so close to my ear I'm water and nothing and everything and melting into a wanting so desperate it burns as I swallow it down."
"'I can touch you,' he says, and I wonder why there are hummingbirds in my heart."
"His body presses closer and I realize I'm paying attention to nothing but the dandelions blowing wishes in my lungs."
"His fingers are 10 points of electricity killing me with something I've never known before.
"He almost cracks a smile and I almost sprout a pair of wings."
"But his hands become arms around my waist his lips become a cheek pressed against my cheek and his body is flush against mine, his skin touching me touching me touching me and he's not screaming he's not dying he's not running away from me and I'm crying
I'm choking
I'm shaking shuddering splintering into teardrops
and he's holding me the way no one has ever held me before.
Like he wants me."
-And thus Audrey melted into a feelsy puddle, never to "even" again.
But seriously, I can't deal with this.
Can't imagine how I'm gonna get through Ignite Me (most of Unravel Me is dryer than California is right now).
So synopsis:
Juliette- "Holy shit holy shit holy shit"
Adam- tries to get her to focus while simultaneously feeling her up
Once they get out of the shower, she's still reeling and he's like "you can look at me all shirtless and wet and stuff" and she's like "...kay."
So yeah. There are a lot of cliches in this. Also, I'm pretty sure Adam has a shower fetish.
This chapter ends with him hugging her and her losing her shit because she's actually happy for once.
Don't know when I'll be posting again...but things will get a lot more frequent in the summer.
The Night Circus will be continuing also, I just wanted to come back with something I'd been waiting to do for about two months.
Also, I might be posting some non-review stuff. Writing babble, things like that.
Well, since I can't guarantee when the next post will be, toodles for now!
