Exclusive Excerpt
Curvy hips grind against mine in tune with the music. This
girl knows how to move. I lean in so my lips brush her ear lobe. “Want to take
this back to my room?” I whisper and then pull away to see her response.
Instead, a hand grabs my forearm and I hear Mindy’s voice.
“Babe, there you are. I’ve been looking all over for you.”
Mindy smiles sweetly, as if she isn’t the worst wingman on the face of the
planet, pulling this “Babe” bullshit to scare away a sure thing.
“What are you doing?” I ask her between gritted teeth.
“Sorry,” Mindy says to the girl, who has now stopped
pressing her tight body against mine and is allowing the entire basement of
Ace’s frat house to see the mega-sized boner I’m sporting. “But we really need
to get going.” Before I can protest, Mindy loops her arm through mine and pulls
me away.
“Did you really just cock block me?” I ask her, not trying
to mask my annoyance.
“You’ll thank me later.”
“My blue balls beg to differ.” We head up the stairs, and I
eye the girls who are on their way down to the party with plastic cups in hand.
I smile at them, which earns me dirty looks in response, because of course they
assume Mindy is my girlfriend.
“Oh whatever,” Mindy says. “You’ll take a cold shower and
get over it. That girl was disgusting, Mike. You deserve better.”
The warm spring air hits my face as we walk outside.
“Shouldn’t you be out with Ben?” I haven’t seen Mindy much lately, not since
she and Ben became inseparable. I give her credit for bagging a younger man.
Though I’m not sure how things can work out for them since he’s only a freshman
and she’s graduating in less than a month. But since she hasn’t whined about it
to me, I’m assuming she has a plan.
“He went home for the weekend, so it’s just you and me for
two days.”
Great. Two days of Mindy lecturing me about relationships
and why meaningless sex is a bad thing. “Must be my lucky day.”
She squeezes my arm. “Trust me, you’ll be happy to have me
as your wingman once I find you a nice girl.”
“Nice? How about hot, sexy, and ready for anything?”
She shoves me toward her car. “Get in before I question why
I bother being your best friend.”
I open the passenger door but don’t get in. Instead I lean
on the door and meet her eyes. “Because you secretly love me but know it would
never work between us, and the mere thought of losing me is too much for you to
bear. So you settle for being my best friend because it’s the most you can hope
for.
About Looking for Love
Mike Hannigan is looking for love in all the wrong places. Maybe that’s because having his heart torn to shreds by who he thought was the perfect girl left some emotional scarring. But that’s about to change. Summer Patterson isn’t like anyone Mike’s dated before, and he can’t help but be intrigued by her. Now if only he could keep his foot out of his mouth long enough to win her over. But when a secret involving Summer brings Mike’s past crashing back to the present, he’ll need some backup from his best friend and wingwoman, Mindy, to sort out the mess. Will Mike find love before he leaves Timberland College for good?
