Kindle Notes & Highlights
On a date, though, Darcy should be more than fine. This guy should be falling at her feet, doing whatever he can for her attention. Darcy Andersen’s the full package. Smart, hilarious, and gorgeous, with pretty, pale-blond hair, sea-green eyes, and an adorable nose that turns up at the tip.
She’s Kit’s ex. She’s off-limits, and she’s her own person who can make her own decisions, but I think about some guy’s hands all over her, and I want to break something.
“I want to be like you.” “Devastatingly handsome?” She grins wider. “No, a player. Hayden, I want you to teach me to be a player.”
His mouth slides into a lazy, flirty smile. “You want flowers, Darcy? I’ll buy you flowers.”
“You know what I mean. I want to get all dressed up, go to a nice restaurant, be told I look pretty, and then go home and have sex against a wall.”
Hazel and Pippa exchange another one of those weighted glances. Rory looks at Hayden, and there’s something in his eyes that I can’t read either. Jamie just stares at Pippa like she’s a snack he wants to eat.
She chose Kit over me, after all. If she wanted me, wouldn’t she have made a move at some point in the last eight years?
“She’s not my type,” I lie. “I like tall, dark hair, and curvy.” That’s the type of woman I date, but it’s not my type. My type is Darcy Andersen.
“Don’t settle for anything less than a guy who worships the ground you walk on.” Like me, the voice in my head says, but I ignore it.
“Eight.” He looks away, folding his arms over his chest. “One for each year we’ve been friends.”
Real men aren’t threatened by a woman with a big brain who knows her way around a graphing calculator.”
Hold out for a guy who wants to TI-83 you all night long.”
Oh, god. I love Hayden. Of course I love him. How could I not? He’s wonderful. He’s kind, affectionate, funny, optimistic, and hardworking. But it’s more than that. It’s that we love so many of the same things. That I love how he cringes when I hide that stupid gnome around our apartment. That he gets me the perfect gift I didn’t know I wanted.
