Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk by Melissa Johns

"Are you doing this on purpose?" Allison's cheeks were flushed, this time from embarrassment rather than anger.

"That was an accident! Just an accident! Surely Watson doesn't think we were sneaking kisses in the office, right?" She wasn't worried about Watson being upset; she just didn't want anyone to get the wrong idea about her and Joshua. No matter who it was.

Joshua tilted his head, looking at her, "What?"

"You totally did it on purpose!" Allison gritted her teeth. "You leaned in so I'd kiss you, knowing you'd end up with lipstick on you, and then you let Watson see it, didn't you?"

Joshua shrugged, a playful smile tugging at his lips. "I did want a kiss, but I honestly didn't know I'd gotten lipstick on me."

"Quit pretending." Allison huffed. "If you didn't know, why were you grinning at Watson just now?"

Joshua feigned innocence. "Was I? I wasn't trying to smile. I just couldn't help it; I got happy after a kiss."

"Joshua!" Allison couldn't hold back any longer. She grabbed a tissue box from the desk and chucked it at him.

Joshua caught it swiftly, "Hey, I'm right here!"

He chuckled, his dark eyes twinkling with mischief.
