Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk by Melissa Johns

Allison waved cheerfully, "Goodbye."

"Allison, don't give me that look," Brian said, rubbing his nose awkwardly. "It's kinda intimidating."

"This isn't the place for a heart-to-heart," Allison replied. "Let's chat somewhere else."

Brian offered, somewhat sheepishly, "I was about to grab dinner with Sabrina. I've got a private room upstairs. Want to join?"

"Sure," Allison agreed.

As they stepped back into the elevator, Allison's mind was a whirlwind of thoughts.
