Academically Yours (Best Friends Book Club, #1)

by Jennifer Chipman

Dreams. I couldn’t remember the last time I had felt like I had any. What was I searching for? What did I want in life? I didn’t know.

Don’t laugh—college students loved to color.

I knew, that once I found the right person, I was going to be in it for the long haul. Once I met her, I was going to do whatever it took to keep her in my life, and make sure she knew that I was hers, forever. And she would be mine. Absolutely, unequivocally, mine. I was just waiting for her to walk into my life.

Though, maybe I had just sworn off love. No one said I couldn’t appreciate a man or let him look at me like that

“I’d much prefer to meet the love of my life in more of a… Unique way.”

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

Had I manifested her? Had I somehow made myself see the girl of my dreams wherever I went?

The zoo? I raised an eyebrow. A bunch of college students wanted to go to the zoo?

of course they fucking do who doesn’t love the zoo

I probably should have specified that this was a date.

“Matthew.” She stopped in the parking lot next to my truck. “Is this… a date

“Do you want it to be a date?”

“Believe me, sweetheart. You’ll know when it’s a date, okay?” I stepped back, flashed a smile at her, and opened the door for her.

“I’m not some sort of sex god.” He laughed. I grumbled. You fuck like one.
