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.

“I’ll always make time for you.”

I wanted to have all of her days and all her nights, because I always, always wanted to be surrounded by her bright smile and warm demeanor.

And even though we had kissed, even though I had been inside of her… I wanted more than just lingering stares and accidental brushes of our hands and a few kisses underneath the stars. This redhead who filled my thoughts and whose small smile I hadn’t been able to get out of my brain since the first day of classes—I wanted all of it with her. I wanted a lifetime of kisses. A lifetime of laughter.

“I’m not some sort of sex god.”

I wanted—no, needed—to fight for her heart. Because I needed her to love me as much as I loved her. Needed to prove to her that this—us—was worth it. Forever.

My Matthew.

And even though my favorite story didn’t start with Once Upon a Time, our story—one that started with my beautiful redhead walking into a crowded room—I was positive that for us it would end with a Happily Ever After.
