Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk by Melissa Johns

Chapter 478

Joshua just stood there, letting Allison kiss him-her kisses a little clumsy, all over the place-but he didn't kiss her back. Not even a little.

A wave of frustration bubbled up inside Allison. She let go of his neck and

steadied herself, heels pressing into the floor.

Joshua's lips quirked in a lazy smile, his deep voice drifting down to her. "Why'd you stop?"

"You don't want to kiss me," Allison said, her tone flat.

She'd felt bad about making him hide in the bedroom earlier. This was her way of making it up to him, trying to cheer him up. But after a few kisses with zero response, she was starting to regret it. If he wasn't into it, what was the point?

Joshua raised an eyebrow. "Did I say I didn't want to?"

Allison puffed out her cheeks, clearly annoyed. "Then why didn't you do anything? You didn't even kiss me back."

Joshua let out a low chuckle. "Allie, you almost never kiss me first. I was just... enjoying it."

Allison huffed, turning her face away and refusing to look at him.

Joshua's smile grew. "Are you mad?"

She kept her head turned, silent and stubborn-the words "I'm mad" practically written on her face.

Joshua didn't seem bothered. His gaze softened, and his voice turned gentle, coaxing. "What am I going to do? I haven't had enough yet. How about you kiss me again? I swear I'll kiss you back this time."

"No," Allison shot back.
