Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk by Melissa Johns

Chapter 480

On the other end, Brooklyn hesitated, her voice not quite the same as usual-soft, stammering. "Y-yeah... I already ate."

Allison: "..."

So Brooklyn heard it too?

Oh no. No, no, no.

Allison's cheeks burned even hotter. This was all Joshua's fault-he just knew how to drive her crazy. That kneeling kiss had left her completely dazed.

She'd totally forgotten she usually had dinner with Brooklyn almost every night. Brooklyn must've come to call her at dinnertime.

"...Okay, then." Allison stuttered, quickly ending the call.

After dinner, Joshua wouldn't stop pleading, trying to convince Allison to let him stay over.

He promised, again and again, that he wouldn't try anything-he just wanted to hold her and sleep.

Allison remembered how he'd had to hide from Linda earlier, acting like he was some dirty secret. That left her feeling a little guilty, and in the end, she caved and let him stay.

That night, Joshua really did behave himself. He just held her, nothing else.

In the middle of the night, half asleep, Allison kept feeling him messing with her. First, he'd gently squish her cheeks, then pinch her nose, then sneak a kiss.
