You Mustn't Give Your Heart To A Wild Thing - Comments

Still here.
Kinda lost me on the ending of the last chapter, no lie. I'm really fucking tired, though, so it might just be that.

no matter how frequent or infrequent your updates are, i'm stilling effing fascinated with this story. everytime i see a new one posted i get so excited to see what's going to happen because this is one of the few stories that i can never predict what's happening next. loved it, like always

OKAY I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED AT THE END THERE.
BUT I KNOW I WANT TO KICK ALEX'S ASS.
I WANT OLI TO FIND OUT ABOUT TOM AND HIS "MYSTERY GIRL." ;)
AND I WANT VERITY TO FIND OUT THAT HE'S THERE.
AND THEN SOMEONE CALLING HIM "OL" AT THE END THERE, WAS THAT HERE?
OOOOOH, I'M SO EXCITED.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW STOKED I WAS WHEN I SAW THIS IN MY INBOX HAHA, ESPECIALLY WITH PAINTING BY NUMBERS.
SO STOKED THAT YOU GOT AN ALL-CAPS COMMENT, LOL.

THIS WAS BRILL. REALLY, SOMETIMES YOU JUST DESCRIBE THINGS AND I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW YOU EVER EVEN THOUGHT OF IT. LIKE THE SUNRISE THING, AND THEN SITUATIONS LIKE THE COSMO LMAO.
YOU'RE FANTASTIC. LALALALALALA. ;)

that was awesome :) thank you
im hoping that veritybis making an appearance now :)

I, man, I.
All the way.
I was totally fucking losing it at the part with Oli and the Cosmo, absolutely dying dude. Hilarious. Loved it.
Love you too!
Summer is coming soon! Ah!

I wanted to argue with her. I wanted to scream and curse and stamp my feet, and tell her that she was wrong. Tell her that I could go back and make it right. That I could go home and we’d be ‘Oliver and Verity’ again , and that everything could be fixed just as easily as it had been broken.

Now, I haven't been the best commenter lately, but as school continually kicks my ass, I make an attempt today on my day off! Haha. That line right up above... That pretty much identified with my own heart. How many times have we all built someone up to be so much more than they really are, to the point where they're nearly larger than life? Well, I would bet many times. I think it's just something that the heart does when it knows that things are not the way they should be, how you want them to be. And my dear, you've captured it excellently.

I'm horrendously excited to see what will happen with Jake and Alex at dinner now. It's definitely a test for Verity, and I feel so bad now that she is still comparing Alex to Oliver. I can say we've all done that, as well. It's natural, and captured beautifully, once again. Her relationship with Alex certainly intrigues me, because it seems like there is so much that can happen, and will happen, but of course seeing as it hasn't exactly happened yet, I am left wondering. And I'm a sucker to admit that during these chapters she and Alex have been seeing each other (Of course in the absence of Oliver) I might just... prefer Alex to Oliver, for now.

And here's the part where I become a whore, deciding to suggest my own story for you to read, if you would like to. ;] My new Garrett story is slow to pick up, and seeing as how you've started a Johno story, you might be into some Maine material?

Do feel better, too! Being sick is seriously the pits.

hope you get better soon, and thank you for a lovely chapter :) x

thanks for the update it made my day i love this story :)

Great update as usual and as much as I always want Verity and Oli to be together, her and Alex are pretty cute too. Hope you feel better soon!

Words cannot express how much I adore this story. I love how it always sticks in my mind because of the title and the whole Breakfast at Tiffany's thing, and I don't know why but I love that it's named after that when it's something so utterly different. Like, you don't instinctively put Audrey Hepburn and Oliver Sykes together, y'know haha! And for some reason, Verity has become my modern day, tattooed, Audrey Hepburn haha!

Sorry...I'm rambling. Loved the update. Love Alex...he's so cute...but it's so hard to choose between him and Oliver. I just want Oliver to find Vee and spill his heart and do something so uncharacteristically Oliver that we all just fall in love with him all over again. Too adorable for words.

The long awaited update! Thank you for making my day...arriving at work and seeing the notification made me jump and clap my hands...now picture THAT!
It's quiet endearing that she is so nervous about her brother meeting Alex...though I think her friend has hit the figurative nail on its head: she is comparing Alex to a pimp-my-ride version of Oli...and it is understandable, sharing such a past with him.

“Again with the date talk”
-mmmmm.

Maybe his admission will force mine from wherever the fuck it’s been hiding. Maybe if Jake admits that he likes Alex, I’ll have the balls to admit it too. I don’t need them to be best friends, I just need him to prove that Oliver isn’t everything”
-oh jeeeeeeeeez

“Way above Mother Theresa, Ghandi and that kid that gives you free fries at In and Out on a Sunday”
“I love that guy”
“You love free fries” Sam corrected, folding her arms across her chest. “The guy’s a bit of a douche”
-bahaha

“You’re not comparing Alex to Oliver. You’re comparing him to a perfect version of Oliver” She sighed. Bro, think of it like pimp my ride. You’ve polished him up to be some amazing, zooped up, ‘tv screens in my wing mirrors and a bowling alley in my trunk’ Mercedes, when really he’s a fucking beat up, falling apart pick-up truck underneath”
“Ye using Pimp My Ride to prove a point right now?” I marvelled, a few words short of completely speechless and teetering on the edge of concerned. “Ye just likened Oliver to a pick-up truck? Seriously, ye...”
“Do you not get the point though Bro?”
-lolololol

mmmmm alex. how cute.

Yay! I've been waiting for this one :)
I hope you feel better soon!
If you get THAT bored, you can read my stories
though they're nothing compared to yours.

Aww, bro! That was kind of depressing, ngl. Sam trying to make her see that Oliver isn't her everything anymore.
TRYING TO TELL HER THAT OLIVER DOESN'T WANT TO BE HER EVERYTHING ANYMORE. WHO AM I TRYING TO LIE TO IN THIS CHAPTER? LIKE, REALLY? REALLY? THAT IS AN UNTRUTH RIGHT THERE.
Ughhh you're brill. Just another piece added to my perfect day. :D

I feel my dreams for Oliver crumbling away with that last chapter. She does put him on a pedestal, but she also puts Alex on one as well, as someone who will save her from Oli, from herself. I am way to involved with this haha, but I'll keep reading till the end.

I apologize for my slacking on the past three chapters, but I do want you to know they were wonderful.

The simplicity of Oliver eating in a diner at four in the morning added something that I can't really describe, but it was a good feeling. It was his hopeless love that seemed to bring him there, not knowing what to do with himself or his time in the States. And yet by going there, eating pie and drinking coffee, he's learning about himself in that conversation with the waitress. Yet again, so simple, and you wouldn't think of a waitress to give him insight and make him promise her to bring Verity. Smart move on her side, man. I really don't think that if it weren't for that waitress, Oliver would still be stuck wondering what to do.

And I sure as hell hope he keeps that promise, because he needs to grow those balls that are developing at the pace that grass grows. Loved it. :]

Chapter 18 is my favorite chapter so far!!!!
I loved it :D

The diner lady was awesome, what wisdom and advice!!! Great chapter!!

please make him grow the ballss!!! soon!!!

I’d never expected to be doing the same thing seven years on.

I learnt the exact volume and frequency his snoring would fall to when he truly became dead to the world. I knew it was safe to leave when I could count to seven between each snore, and they were just a decibel or two quieter than his speaking voice.

I choked a little on my first sip of coffee and raised my eyebrows in her direction as I dribbled the boiling liquid back into the cup. “You talk a lot with your face dontcha”

You need to sort out whatever problems it is you’ve created” She corrected as a small, sympathetic smile crept from the upturned corners of her mouth. “Sure you’re young, you’ve got all the time in the world to fix the mistake. But it doesn’t lie with just you though, does it? It takes two people to do anything worth doing, and it takes one heck of a woman to bring a man to start eating pie at four thirty in the morning, five days in a row”
“’s been five days?”
“You’ve had Banoffe, Pecan, Pumpkin, Chocolate French Silk and Key Lime”
-omg so good.... and so is pie.

To her I was just some nocturnal, perpetually confused kid with a taste for sugar, and I liked that. I liked that to at least one person I was that simple.

Neither of these compared to the promise I broke when I was eighteen, but I wasn’t about to share my infidelity with a stranger, and I was sure they both counted towards the anxiety twisting my gut now.

‘ll be the same guy that she left, an’ I’ll be the same guy tha’ broke ‘er heart”

“ ‘ve adapted because o’ that” I answered, “ ‘ve changed ‘cause I were a bastard”
I wasn’t sure whose gasp was bigger when the words left the tip of my tongue, but both pushed us into an uncomfortable silence once again and I found myself straining my ears to listen to the jukebox. I could hum along.

“You give her a call later, when the rest of the worlds awake and you tell her that fixing mistakes is hard, but you’ll do anything for her. You tell her that she needn’t worry that you don’t care, because you’re spending all your time worrying about how you can possibly show her how much you really do care. And you tell her that you love her Oli, you tell her everything that you’ve told me, but most importantly you tell her that you love her and that that’s all that matters”
My jaw was keeping the crumbs on the floor company. It was everything I hadn’t been able to say myself.

“The bit you have to promise me” She smiled, “is the easiest part”

SO GOOD. and I'm so excited to read your John Ohh. Ah!
