My Book Boyfriend #5 : Alex Sheathes

1:56 PM Elisa

My Book Boyfriend is a weekly blog meme hosted by Missy from The Unread Reader, it's to share fictional boys we crush, include stats, picture and quotes from the character that make us swoon. If you interest to join, visit Missy's introduction post about My Book Boyfriend

Wow, more than a month I didn't post any MBB! My blog turns very dry these days, real life has almost been taking all of me :(. Still try to catch up though ;)

For this week I pick Alex Sheathes from Delirium. Like I said before, I found myself waiting for his appearance while read through the pages and smiled widely when he did. His sacrificial moved me alot and I hope I still could see him more /:

STATS :
Alex is the 'Invalid', the Uncured who use to live at 'Wilds'. He has been disguising as a college boy who work as a part-time guard. Romantic and love 'forbidden' poetry.

Hair : golden-brown / auburn
Eye : brown / amber color
Love interest : Lena

"Alex. Nice to meet you." Alex keeps his eyes on me as he and Hana shake hands. Then he extends a hand to me. "Lena," he says thoughtfully. "I've never heard that name before."

I hesitate. Shaking hands makes me feel awkward, -

The moment we touch, a tiny electrical shock buzzes through me, and I pull away quickly.

"It's short of Magdalena," I say.

"Magdalena." Alex tips his head back, watching me from narrowed eyes. "Pretty."

Alex : "You haven't said you're sorry yet, by the way."
Lena : "For what?"
Alex : "For standing me up. You were a no-show at Back Cove that day. So? Are u going to apologize, or what?"

_________________

He laugh. "You were pretty hard to miss. You used to run around the statue and do this jumping, whooping thing."

Heat creeps up my neck and cheeks.-

"I don't..." I lick my lips, fumbling for an explanation that won't sound ridiculous. "When you run you sometimes do weird things. Because of the endorphins and stuff.it's kind of like a drug, you know? Messes with your brain."

"I liked it," he says. "You looked... You looked happy."

For a sec we just stand there in silence. Then, suddenly, Alex is back, easy and smilling again. "I left a note for you one time. In the Governor's fist, you know?"

"You left a note for me?"

"I'm pretty sure it said something stupid. Just hi, and a smiley face, and my name. But then you stopped coming." He shrugs. "It's probably still there. The note, I mean. Probably just a bit of paper pulp by now."

"Lena. I like you, okay? That's it. That's all. I like you."
_____________

I'm half delirious as I open it, but still I don't really expect it to be from him. My hands begin to shake as I read:

Lena,
I'm so sorry. Please forgive me.
Alex
______________

He looks at me then, and his face is so full of concern it makes something ache deep inside me. "Listen, Lena." He looks down amd rearranges the pile of matches he has made, placing them neatly side by side. "Maybe it's not such a good idea. If we get caught - I mean, if you got caught -" He sucks in a deep breath. "I mean, if anything happen to you, I could never forgive myself."

"'How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.'" -
"'I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach...'"-
"'I love thee to the level of every day's most quite need...'"-
He kisses each cheekbone, a delicious, skimming kiss, , barely grazing my skin "'I love thee freely...'"
"Alex," I say, a little louder. My heart beating so fast I'm afraid it will burst from my ribs.
He pulls back and gives me a small, crooked smile. "Elizabeth Barrett Browning," he says, then traces a finger over the bridge of my nose. "You don't like it?"

____________________

"And I love you too." His fingers skate the edge of my jaw, dance briefly over my lips. "You should know that. You have to know that."

Aaaaah, so sweet, Alex.
My model for Alex is Benjamin Stone. Well, Alex maybe more dark or tanner, but I can imagine Ben as him while look on those pictures.
Do you love him as I do? =D
Who's your MBB this week?

My Book Boyfriend #4 : Noah Shaw

2:50 PM Elisa

I read about this guy at The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer and instantly fell in love with him. Mysterious, a bit arrogant but sometimes he's also funny and sweet, wow he's very hard to resist! It was a bit hard to find someone who can portray him but well after wandering here and there *lol* finally I found someone who I think would be a perfect Noah in my imagination =)

STATS :
Description : Noah Shaw is a British so instantly he has that mesmerizing accent ^^, looks older than he should be, very rich, has pale skin and daily disarray appearance : bed hair, 5 o'clock shadow, and unarrange uniform; but instead he looks beautiful. He has almost-gray eyes and dark chestnut hair.

----------------

“You don't have to pick me up," I said in a rush.
"Considering you have no idea where we're going and I have no intention of telling you, I'm quite sure that I do."
"I can meet you somewhere centrally located."
Noah sounded amused. "I promise to press my trousers before meeting your family. I'll even bring flowers for the occasion."
"Oh, God. Please don't." I said. Maybe honesty in the best policy. "My family is going to screw with my life if you come over." I knew them far too well.
"Congratulations-- you just made the prospect all the more enticing. What is your address?”

“Have you kissed many boys before?" he asked quietly.
His question brought my mind back into focus. I raised an eyebrow. "Boys? That's an assumption."
Noah laughed, the sound low and husky. "Girls, then?"
"No."
"Not many girls? Or not many boys?"
"Neither," I said. Let him make of that what he would.
"How many?"
"Why—"
"I am taking away that word. You are no longer allowed to use it. How many?"

-----------------------------------------

“Did I just see you litter?'
'I'm driving a hybrid. It cancels out.”

"You're distracting," I said truthfully.
"I won't be. I promise," Noah said. "I'll get some crayons and draw quitely. Alone. In a corner.”

-------------------------------

In my rush, I hadn't tied my shoelaces. Noah was now tying them for me.
He looked up at me through his dark fringe of lashes and smiled. The expression on his face melted me completely. I knew I had the goofiest grin plastered on my lips, and didn't care.
"There," he said as he finished tying the laces on my left shoe. "Now you won't fall."
Too late.

“What would you do if I kissed you right now?"
I stared at his beautiful face and his beautiful mouth and I wanted nothing more than to taste it. "I would kiss you back.”

---------------------------

"You smell good," he whispered into my neck. He was warm against me. Instinctively, I arched back into him and smiled.
"Really?"
"Mmm-hmm. Delicious. Like bacon.”

-------------------------------------

“You told me I smelled - like bacon."
"Well," he said evenly. "That's awkward.”

“You want me as much as I want you. And all I want is you."
My tongue warred with my mind. "Today," I whispered.
Noah stood slowly, his body skimming mine as he rose. "Today. Tonight. Tomorrow. Forever.”

---------------------------

“You're the girl who called me an asshole the first time we spoke. The girl who tried to pay for lunch even after you learned I have more money than God. You're the girl who risked her ass to save a dying dog, who makes my chest ache whether you're wearing green silk or ripped jeans. You're the girl that I--" Noah stopped, then took a step closer to me. "You are my girl.”

Again quotes overdose,lol.
So a model Oscar Spendrup is my Noah, he perfectly fits Noah in my imagination with his dark-messy hair and gorgeous appearance. Anyone fancy him? Count me in! =D

My Book Boyfriend #3 - Jason Andrews

1:13 PM Elisa

Who ever dream to date a Hollywood guy? =D Hm.. actually it would be too complicated right? So maybe just better to just dream about it.
For today's MBB, I pick my favorite guy from Just The Sexiest Man Alive by Julie James, Jason Andrews. He is an arrogant bastard, cocky and womanizer because he knows who he is and how people usually see him only as an important asset and a perfect actor, but behind that he's a very good and caring person. I found that his demanding-childish acts and jealousy over Taylor and Scott Casey is really really cute =D That's why I like him!

STATS :
Description : in his 'thirties', Jason Andrews is the biggest actor in Hollywood. Paparazis follow him everywhere. He is devilisly good looking, a true legend of his day. He is very confident about all women can't resist his charm and want to take an advantage with dating him, but he finds Taylor Donovan isn't really impressed with Jason and that makes him anxious about her.
Hair : Rakish dark hair
Eye : 'Briliant' blue
Love interest : Taylor Donovan

I'll put his arrogant quotes that will make you want to punch his face xD And be prepared for damn long and big number quotes, because I have no idea how to shorten them because all of them are sooooo precious,kkkk~

"My philosophy is that relationships should be treated the same as a new script. if it doesn't hold my interest after an hour, I'm not going to waste any more time on it"
_______________________________

“But see, now I’m busy, Mr. Andrews.”
“Ms. Donovan,” he said in a matter-of-fact tone. “No one is too busy for me.”
_______________________________

And a very angry-looking Jason Andrews stormed into the room. Wholly oblivious to (or simply uninterested in) anyone else in the room, Jason stopped before Taylor and pointed furiously at her.
"Why haven't you returned my calls?" The shock of his entrance and his demanding tone rendered her temporarily speechless.
"I called you three times today," Jason continued his rant."Myself," he added pointedly.

He thought about this. When he finally answered, Taylor thought she heard something in his voice. Something . . . genuine.
"People think they know you because the magazines portray you a certain way, or because you've played a particular part in a movie. And most of the people who supposedly are close to you don't care about who you really are anyway, because to them you're just a product, a commodity to sell. So it's not real. None of it's real."
________________________________

"Stop — you're making me blush."
_______________________________

"You can throw all the little barbs you want, Taylor Donovan. It doesn't bother me one bit. Because secretly, I think you like spending time with me." He winked at her. "It's okay, you can admit it. I already know."

Jason stood up so quickly the stool banged against the counter. He could notbelieve the shit she was saying.
"Seriously, Taylor—do you know who I am?" he demanded.
She smiled at this. "You celebrities actually say that? That’s cute."
_______________________________

Taylor smiled into the phone. “Why, Jason—that sounds a bit like jealousy, doesn’t it?”
He snorted disdainfully. “Jealous of Scott Casey? Please.” He got a good laugh out of this. “Hey—if you find him interesting, Taylor, more power to you. I also know a nice box of rocks you could cuddle up with, if that’s your thing.”
_______________________________

"And get this," he fumed angrily, "the dumbasses who designed the posters have me pictured in this scene where I'm putting out a fire with all these other firemen. But if you look at the poster from the side, the water from the hose of one of the other firefighters looks like it's shooting right out of my crotch. And the best part is, they want to put this poster over the theater entrance for the premiere. I can just see it." He gestured grandly to the air. "Come see Inferno! Get pissed on by Jason Andrews!"
With that, he threw Taylor a wink. "It should be right up your alley."
Finished with his rant, Jason took a sip of water. Then he finally noticed Kate and Val. He smiled charmingly.
"Oh. People. Hello."

Jason sighed. “I don’t know . . .” He looked over at Jeremy, suddenly serious. “All I know is that I can’t
stop thinking about her.”
__________________

“Taylor, look at me,” he whispered huskily. “Look at me.” He waited until her eyes met his. “You have
nothing to worry about. Los Angeles is a perfect match for you. You belong here. You know that.”
He paused. Then he looked deep into her eyes and laid it all on the line. “You belong with me.”
__________________

“I love you, Taylor. I think that I’ve been waiting for you to come into my life for a long, long time.” He
grinned self-consciously. “I didn’t think you’d ever give me the chance to say that.”
Deeply touched by his words, Taylor gazed up at him and smiled tenderly.
“You had me at Shit Happens.”
Jason burst out laughing. He pulled Taylor into his arms and kissed her softly on the forehead.

Taylor drifted off contentedly. Until, through the darkness, she heard a low, sneaky whisper.
“Mrs. Taylor Andrews . . .”
She didn’t bother to open her eyes.
“Still not gonna happen.”

There are still many quotes of him that I like, but I guess it's enough. Adorkable right? He really can't act as his age xD.
Thank you for Matt Bomer for being my Jason Andrews and makes my blog brighter =D. Well, Bomer is a lot younger than Jason Andrews, but I think he can portray him quite well. And sorry for my obsession over 'suit'. Damn I really really really can't resist a fine gentleman wearing suit *faints*.

My Book Boyfriend #2 : Four

10:39 AM Elisa

Whohoo~
I'm a bit too excited this week, because for today MBB, I choose one of my most favorite boyfriend, The Dauntless boy, Four a.k.a Tobias!
Hm.. I'll try to make this spoiler-free ;)

STATS :
Description : 18 years old boy, Tris's mentor at Dauntless compound. Smart, strong, brave, observer to others and very good with computer. This is how Tris describes him :

"He has a spare upper lip and a full lower lip. His eyes are so deep-set that his eyelashes touch the skin under his eyebrows, and they are dark blue, a dreaming, sleeping, waiting color."

Hair : Dark Brown almost black
Love interest : Tris

Four flips the gun in this hand, presses the barrel to Peter's forehead, and clicks a bullet into place. Peter freezes with his lips parted, the yawn dead in his mouth. "Wake. Up," Four snaps. "You are holding a loaded gun, you idiot. Act like it.”

“Fear doesn't shut you down; it wakes you up. I've seen it. It's fascinating." He releases me but doesn't pull away, his hand grazing my jaw, my neck. "Sometimes I just...want to see it again. Want to see you awake.”

“I frown at him. 'You've been paying close attention, haven't you?'
'I like to observe people'
'Maybe you were cut out for Candor, Four, because you're a terrible liar' -
'Fine', He leans his face closer to mine, his eyes focusing on my chin, and my lips, and my nose. 'I watched you because I like you.' He said it plainly, boldly, and his eyes flick up to mine. 'And don't call me "Four", okay? It's nice to hear my name again'.”

“He turns toward me. I want to touch him, but I’m afraid of his bareness; afraid that he will make me bare too.
‘Is this scaring you, Tris?’
‘No,’ I croak. I clear my throat. ‘Not really. I’m only…afraid of what I want.’
‘What do you want?’ Then his face tightens. ‘Me?’
Slowly I nod.”

“'I have something I need to tell you,' he says. I run my fingers along the tendons in his hands and look back at him. 'I might be in love with you.' He smiles a little. 'I'm waiting until I'm sure to tell you, though.'
'That's sensible of you,' I say, smiling too. 'We should find some paper so you can make a list or a chart or something.'
I feel his laughter against my side, his nose sliding along my jaw, his lips pressing my ear.
'Maybe I'm already sure,' he says, 'and I just don't want to frighten you.'
I laugh a little. 'Then you should know better.'
'Fine,' he says. 'Then I love you.' "

So here he is, Brant Daugherty for my Four =D
I kept thought about him when I read about Four, what do you think? Well Brant doesn't have deep blue eyes but I think he fits all Four physical qualities. And at the last picture, just like Four and guitar, really hawt xD. Okay, I steal a scene from Pretty Little Liars, but since he wears black shirt there, he sure looks like Dauntless right? xD
Squeeeeee!! ~~Brant~~ Fouuuur, I love you! xD
If you want to know more about him, or haven't read Divergent, READ IT. NAO.

My Book Boyfriend (#1) : Cabel Strumheller

9:51 AM Elisa

I decided to join My Book Boyfriend because it looks fun and just to pleasuring my eyes =D My Book Boyfriend is a weekly blog meme hosted by Missy from The Unread Reader, it's to share fictional boys we crush, include stats, picture and quotes from the character that make us swoon. If you interest to join, visit Missy's introduction post about My Book Boyfriend. I'm not sure I'll post it every week, or at Wednesday like other blogger do. But I'll try =)

For the first MBB, I pick Cabel Strumheller of Lisa McMann's Dream Catcher trilogy ;D. He might not a perfect or superior boy, physically nor financially (lol), but he touched my heart with his understanding, love and acceptance to Janie. He's very rare type in this real world, that's why he's mesmerizing.

STATS :
Description : A loner, smart, sweet, thoughtful boy with twisted past. He used to be a Goth who notorious with drugs problem but after he's been 'caught' by Captain, now he works as double agent for local police department. Janie's mother calls him 'Hippie Boy' and has a big scar at his stomach because of his dad's torture
Eyes : Brown
Hair : Bluish-Black when he's a Goth, wavy Golden Brown now
Love interest : Janie

"Janie attacks the back door of the school gym and finds herself in a heavy cloud of smoke. She realizes she's found the Goths' hangout. Who knew?
"Oof," someone says. She keeps walking, muttering, "sorry" to whomever it was she hit with the flying door.
-0-
Cabel:" ... That was the Goth stage where I decided I'd never get the girl of my dreams because of my scars. Not to mention the hairstyle.
But then she slammed a door handle into my gut. And, when a girl does that to a boy, it means she likes him."

"When," he demands. "I promise, all my heart, I'll be your house elf for the rest of my life if I fail to meet you at the appointed date and time." He leans forward. "Promise," he says again. He holds up two fingers.
The bell rings.
They stand up.
She's not answering.
He comes around the table toward her and pushes her gently against the wall. Sinks his lips into hers.
He tastes like spearmint. She can't stop the flipping in her stomach.
He pulls back and touches her cheek, her hair. "When," he whispers. Urgently
She clears her throat and blinks. "A-a-after school works for me," she says.”

--------------------------

“Captain : (looks at Janie closely) Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, you're gonna have a heck of a shiner by the time the day's over. Did you black our?
Janie : I...uh... I really have no idea
Cabel : (cuts in) Yes, I think she did. I'm going to need to watch her all day. And probably all night, too (Very, very seriously)
The captain throws a rubber eraser at him and sends him out for coffee.”

“Janie: So you're a double agent?
Cabel: Sure.That sounds sexy.”

-------------------------

“You're asking for trouble, Hannagan," he growls.
"And you would be....?" Janie asks. She giggles.
"Trouble.”

-------------------------

“Cabel regards Janie and sighs. 'I know you can handle it, Janie. You're such a damn martyr. It's tiring, really, having this same argument with you every time you've got shit happening. Just let it go. I'm not leaving.' He smiles faux-diplomatically.”

So that's it, 'The Older Peter Pan' Jeremy Sumpter as my Cabel. I know he's not the best image for Cabel, but when I saw his picture I was like "Oh, hi Cabe!" and then I decided to join this meme xD. And yeah, I have so much fun! Too bad there's no shirtless Cabe, he refuses to shows his body to anyone except to Janie =p
If you want to know more about Cabel Sturmheller, just pick up Dream Catcher series (Wake-Fade-Gone) by Lisa McMann. Thank you Missy from The Unread Reader for this fun meme.
