Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk by Melissa Johns

Chapter 455

After dinner, laughter still lingering in the air, Sabrina piped up, "How about we hit a bar? Drinks are on me!"

George shook his head. "Tracey doesn't drink, and her dorm's got a curfew. It's getting late-I should take her back to campus."

Sabrina waved them off with a grin. "Alright, you two go on ahead."

"Bye, George! Bye, Tracey!" Olivia called, waving as they got up.

Then George turned back with a teasing smile. "Why are you calling her Tracey? That's way too formal. Olivia, she's your future sister-in-law-call her 'sis-in-law."" Olivia blinked in surprise, and the whole group went silent for a second.

But Olivia played along, grinning. "Okay-sis-in-law."

Tracey's face went bright red, her embarrassment impossible to miss. She bit her lip, shyly mumbling, "It's fine, really, you can call me whatever."

"Nope, not happening," George said, pulling her gently into his arms. "Let's go, babe. I'll walk you back."

Tracey nodded, cheeks still burning.

Once they were gone, Sabrina let out a dramatic sigh. "Olivia, your brother's serious this time, isn't he?"

Olivia nodded. "Yeah, Tracey's definitely not like those other girls he used to date."
