Happy Jamie & Amanda day everyone!

If you haven’t yet, be sure to grab your copy of The Future Play, available on KU and Amazon (including 2 paperback options!).

Read The Future Play!

But if that’s not enough, Amanda and Jamie recorded a little interview—or message… I just let them go at it—to convince you!!

__________

Amanda: Hi everyone!

Jamie: Hi. And I’m awkward as usual. How did I let you convince me to do this again?

Because I’m so pretty and you’ll do anything for me.

Sounds right.

Anyway, hi! It’s Amanda and Jamie, and we’re excited to be here to tell you all about our story! Well, one of us is. Jamie is more like a reluctant hostage, but we’ll get him to open up. Hmm… maybe if I distract you with a blow job.

Jesus, babe. Really?

You shouldn’t be surprised by anything that comes out of my mouth anymore.

This is what you’re all in for with our story, so I hope you’re prepared.

That’s either a selling point or you’ll scare them away.

If you like that she has a filthy mouth sometimes, you’ll love this. Am I done now?

Calm down. And please, do not pretend I’m the only one with a filthy mouth. Remember what you said last night?

Baby, you’re killing me.

I know. Your cheeks are bright red.

Just tell them about the book.

Whatever you say, baseball boy. Our story is an epic romance full of heart-eyes, laughter, and some tears with the perfect happily ever after. But if you need a little tease, here’s one of my favorite moments from Jamie’s point of view.

🩷She swallows hard, staring at me like she’s trying to see my soul through my eyes. Who knows? Maybe she can. Maybe that’s her superpower. All I know is she’s my kryptonite. When I’m around her, I’m weak.

“Why me?” Her voice is hushed and raw.

“What do you mean?”

“Why me? Why do you want me?”

The vulnerability in her voice mixed with the pain in her eyes absolutely guts me. I hate every person who has ever made her question her worth. And I know I’m one of them. Which is all the more reason I need to fix this now. I need to show her how much she means to me.

I take her bowl of ice cream and set it on the table. I don’t want anything between us while I say this.

Our knees brush as I shift closer, then gently run my fingers through her hair.

“You’re asking that like it’s a choice. From the moment I met you, I’ve been pulled to you, and the more I get to know you, the more captivated I am. You have a hold on me that I wouldn’t lift even if I could. In only knowing each other a short time, you saw the mask I put on, and you’ve never judged me for who I am underneath it. You are a mesmerizing force of nature, and to be in your path means to be overtaken by the beautiful storm you are. There’s never been a choice, Amanda. From the moment you walked into my life, there’s only been you. And I hope, in time, you’ll believe me when I say that’s all I want. I want to be yours. The person you rely on and let take care of you and protect you and your big, beautiful heart. It’s never been a choice, but even if it was, I’d choose you a thousand times. And I’ll do whatever it takes to earn your forgiveness and trust.”🩷

After reading that, don’t you NEED more? 

Read it now!

You don’t want to miss all the swoony moments, epic confessions, the drama and angst along the way, and the kind of squishy perfect HEA everyone dreams of. Plus, if you love a girl tribe, I’ve got a pretty great one. You can also expect some mental health rep and a realistic representation of the highs and lows of relationships.

How we make it through the hard stuff. Because we always do.

Always.

…

Yeah, so… we gotta go.

Easy, babe, you’re going to break the button. [clears throat] Uh, I mean. Yes. We have to go… oh… Go. Yeah. Bye. 

Don’t forget to read our book. There are plenty of swoony and—oh—steamy moments. Okay, bye!

…

Jamie!

Fuck, Mands. Oh, shit. We’re still recording.

Amanda & Jamie’s recs:

(*Note from Jamie, these are mostly from Amanda)

📺What to watch: The NY Metros game. Or the NY Bandits, if it’s football season. Or Gilmore Girls. That’s always a good option.

🎧What to listen to: The Future Play playlist, duh.

📖What to read when you’ve finished The Future Play: If you haven’t read the hive mind’s stories yet, check out the Friends Like This series or jump over to the other Ida Heartthrobs in The Perfect Love & The Forever Fight. And if you’ve read all those, maybe check out more from the Metros. You can read Marc Demoda’s story More Than the Game or Corey Matthews’s story More Than a Story, both by Jenni Bara.
