Novel Version "Lilah"

Product Information

I imagine him to have two fully grown kids and a loving wife. His oldest child just had a baby and now he's a happy grandfather. The half of my coffee I was able to drink was just wonderful, the other half was drunk by the sidewalk," I picture Grey and I running into each other. The main character (Azalea) is weird and an odd cookie. Trust me when I say that. Like, she's really weird. Apparently, as some have commented, people don't like that (which is okay but you don't need to be rude or repetitive AND AZALEA IS NOT GOING TO CHANGE! !). Literally like it's not that hard to refrain yourself from making a shitty comment like I seriously don't understand what goes through some peoples heads that makes them think it's okay to say some things. WORDS CAN HURT! As someone who created something from scratch it feels so terrible to see someone shitting on something you made. I can't keep up with the hate comments (to delete them) but I see some and it makes me genuinely upset so think about what you're saying before you say it. Have a filter, it's literally so simple. Lying about what?" I let my head fall but he doesn't let it stay down. The hand that was resting on the shelf behind me grips the ends of my hair in the lightest touch possible.

Don't be like that, Mr. Terrip.""You're too young for boys," he points at me and I internally roll my eyes. He's been telling me this ever since I met him when I was old enough to walk from my house to his shop. Do you need a ride home?" I question and her eyes fall to her fingers. I start fiddling with the scrunchie she gave me nearly a week ago. What the hell are you two doing in here? I thought we all agreed to not go in here," my father's sober voice fills the doorway and my heart pounds with fear.

Is everything okay?" I mumble as he drags me through an employee only door, a pain travels through my knee and up my leg but I try to ignore it. Are you okay, Aaron?" I question. I'm not the only one that was heavily impacted by Jake's passing.

Cherry pie could work too," I bite my lip. I don't think cherry pie is any less strong than peach but hey, maybe it is? I don't know, I'm not a scientist. For some reason, as he looks away from me, I'm left feeling a certain type of way. Like I want him to keep those eyes of his on me. What are you doing here, Grey?" I question again, trying my best to change the subject from the sexy time that never happened. Our main girl loves talking about drugs. It's like drugs tenfold, galore. But she doesn't actually do them. I asked you if you wanted a milkshake late last night," I purse my lips, still smiling a little although I'm trying to keep it off my face.I give myself a mental high five for dodging Mr. Terrip's questions about why I don't seem normal today.

So, I figured I can go to his restaurant or whatever, maybe see him, and I could get some food if I wanted with the money Aaron gave me. He needs it so, so much more than my parents. Even if it means getting hit with the belt a few times. He pushed me lightly into the bathroom, following behind me and shutting the door. I'm not even worried anymore, if he wanted to kill me, he would've already done it. Plus, I could take him in a fight. Why is it now that my brain can't think of anything? Any other time I'd come up with at least something. He basically renders me speechless whenever he looks at me. Or he makes me talk extra, I'm not too sure yet, he's caused both things to happen.

He only stays silent either ignoring me or...well, he's most likely ignoring me. I don't let that affect me anymore, I've gotten used to it by now. How old do I look?" I narrow my eyes and his face lights up with a smile. Aw, he's cute. What an anus cake. He takes the book from my hands, leaving me wondering what I'm supposed to do now. He places the book somewhere behind me and I gather my courage and look up at him. He grabs a menu and hands it to me. My eyebrows furrow a bit and with the wave of his hand, he tells me to go sit wherever. I giggle a little bit at how much he obviously hates what he's doing.
