How come a boy can be so stupid, but a daddy, who actually used to be a boy himself, can be so wonderful?
This just shows the visual of growing up
He turns around, grabs my doorway, and says, “You know, it’s okay to have more than one best friend.”
Ahhh I struggle with this all the time
It’s a small town, and if we feel like going out, those are
you want me to rub your back?” I ask Danny nicely. Lots of times after a game, we’ll watch movies, and I’ll rub Danny’s or Phillip’s shoulders. I doubt
Ok I thought the book was gonna be her and Danny
Phillip drives while Danny and I sit in the backseat. Danny’s head is resting on my shoulder, and his sore arm’s lying across my lap while I gently stroke his swollen fingers. Yeah, I know … Many, many girls would practically kill to be in my position. And let’s face it; even I am not immune to Danny’s charm. But, right now, that’s like the last thing on my mind because I know all too well what broken bones feel like. I’ve broken my right arm, my left wrist, and three different fingers while playing football with these boys. And
SHE IS SO CONSIDERATE
Now, I know everyone gets all hyped up over Danny, but Phillip, who is his workout partner, is a few inches taller than Danny and carries more weight. Quite honestly, Phillip’s muscles are bigger, and I kinda like them even better. I get a little peek at his abs because, when he pulls up his sweatshirt to take it off, his T-shirt rides up with it.
She loves them both so very much!!!
Phillip grabs my hands again and says in that smooth, adorable voice of his, “Princess, there’s no one I’d rather hang out with more than you. You know that.”
YES YES YES I ATE THAT UP
“Just give me fifteen minutes. If I’m not back, you can charge out on your horse and rescue me.” I stop and give Phillip a hug. “I love you, Phillip. You’ll always be my best friend. And you must be a very good friend if you are willing to choose hanging out with me over getting laid. Especially when we know I’m going to do nothing but sob and complain about my stupid, cheating boyfriend. So, I just … I, um, I appreciate it, okay?” I back up and lightly punch his shoulder. “I’m just shocked, and I need to figure out what to do. I promise, I’ll be back, and hopefully, when I come back, I will

There friendship is everything to me.
“Walk into the place like you own it, JJ, and people will think that you do.” Of course, he also said, “If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit.”
Her dad is the best!
“Ever notice how what the hell is always the right answer?”
Speaking of twisted, you know the movie Twister? I know, not my typical romantic comedy genre, but when you live in the Midwest, tornadoes are scary fascinating, and in the spring, that movie plays on basic cable every other weekend.
Ok Sav watches this movie 24/7
love you. I love you. We’ll get through it together.” He breaks a little smile. “You know, Grandma Mac used to say, ‘God never gives you more than you can handle.’”
Philip you belong with me at this point.
“I’ll always love my Princess.” He smiles. “Even when she’s mad at me.” He winces and says seriously, “I’m really sorry about everything. This is going to be so rough, but I want you to know that I’m here for you. My family’s here for you.”
PRINCESS OMG! GETS ME EVERYTIME.
any human beings ever realize life while they live it—every, every minute?’ We’re
She told me to let myself see a little of God every day. And, for some reason, watching those butterflies offers me more comfort than any of the prayers.
God moves mountains and gives us all the glory!
snuggled up to my date, I’m lying on Phillip’s shoulder and wrapped up in his arms. Really, the same place I’ve slept for the last week. I move over next to Danny before he wakes up. Even he doesn’t know about that.
Her and Philip always lay this way. SO CUTE!
“You’d be good with Phillip.” And, with that, he leaves. What the hell is that supposed to mean? It’s all Greek to me!
This is where the book took a turn ;)
“My God, Princess, you’re burning up! Have you taken your temperature?” I shake my head and close my eyes. My eyelids burn.
Him coming to her rescue l!
“Ah, come on, you know you love me,” he says with his sweet voice. “Yeah, I do.” I’m such a pushover. “Night, Jay.”
YES THEY MEAN EVERYTHING TO ME
“I know I am. I haven’t seen Phillip this morning, but I think we both know what his answer will be.” “Jay,” he says, pausing to put another forkful in his mouth and chew. Then, he waves his empty fork at me. “Why don’t you just sleep with Phillip and get it over with?” “What?” “I saw you dancing together last night.” And he just shakes his head at me.
Danny is so funny and also ALWAYS right.
“I want you,” he repeats. “Go out with me for real, Princess.”
OH PHILIP
“Uh, duh. Each other. And I really like you, Phillip.” “No, Princess, you don’t like me; you are totally in love with me. You’re just too stubborn to admit it.”
YOU TELL HER! SHE REALLY LOVES YOU
been here for you all along. I’ve listened to you cry about other guys. I rescue you, take care of you when you’re sick, hug you when you’re sad, tell you you’re beautiful when you look terrible.” He looks me straight in the eyes and is dead serious when he says, “Princess, I’ve always been the one.”
You have always been the one Philip. You are my dream man.
When I kiss Phillip, I feel like I’m home, like I’m exactly where I belong. It’s a weird and wonderful and very scary feeling.
Child please.
“Well, I was afraid of what I—we—might do. I mean, I really wanted you, Jay, and I have to admit, there have been many times that I’ve kicked myself for not going for it.” He tilts his head and looks at me. “But I didn’t want to take advantage of you. I mean, you’d been through so much in such a short time. Jake. Your parents. Combine that with the fact that it would’ve been your first time. I don’t know. It just didn’t seem like the right thing to do. I
DANNY YOU ARE THE BEST AND I LOVE YOU! JAEDYN AND PHILIP CAN BE TOGETHER AND YOU AND ME!!!!!!
trouble with trouble is it always starts out as fun.
Yes: me
I get the feeling they don’t think they missed out on much though. They look at each other with dreamy eyes. And they share these glances, like they know a big secret that no one else knows. It makes me feel kind of jealous.
I know that I can’t waste any more opportunities with Phillip. I can’t, and I won’t. God help me.
You’ve finally realized it princess.
I want Phillip, and I’m not going to let anyone, even Moaning Monica, get in my way. Scratch that. I am more grown up than that. Monica is not the problem. I am. And, this time, I’m not going to let myself get in the way.
SHE FINALLY HAS REALIZED SOMETHING FOR ONCE
“Probably not, but I missed you while you were gone, Princess. You were down there much too long.”
Sweet sweet Philip.
Phillip raises his champagne glass in a toast. “This charm is my way of promising to always treat you like a princess.”
YOU ARE HIS PRINCESS JAEDYN AND YOU WILL ALWAYS BE!!!!
I start to get tears in my eyes. “He reminded me of when we were ten, and he gave me my first kiss. We were on the swings out behind school, and right after he kissed me, he got up and ran away. Then, all of a sudden, he stopped, turned around, and yelled back, ‘Will you marry me someday?’” I smile big at everyone as I remember this, and tears start streaming down my face. “And I yelled back to him, ‘YES!’ And so he said that, if people asked, I could tell them that we’d been secretly engaged for the past twelve years. And so”—I close my eyes for a second and think, Here goes nothing. I open

Ok no words.
He smiles at me and says, “Princess, don’t ever take that off again.” I kiss that boy and then say very seriously, “You know, if you want to be my husband, you’ve really gotta stop being so bossy.” The End
I LOVE THEM SO MUCH AND CANT WAIT TO READ MORE 😭😭😭😭
