Academically Yours (Best Friends Book Club, #1)

by Jennifer Chipman

And when she had asked me how I wanted to meet someone, I almost said it. Just like this.

Best Friends Book Club,

Am I being punked right now? Does this beautiful man want to talk about books with me?

“I’ll always make time for you.” And damn if that statement didn’t make me feel all warm inside.

“Where to next, sweetheart?”

“And what exactly did you expect, Professor?” “Noelle.” God. Back to that. I hated it when she called me that. Except… I didn’t. It felt like this game between us, part of the line that was between us that was taut.

This time, Noelle had weaseled her way into a corner of my heart, and I wanted to protect her, take care of her.

“You just want to buy more books, don’t you?”

“You make this place feel more like home, Noelle.”

I want to hold you in my arms as you sleep.”
