No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 339



With Jimmy's shriek piercing the air, I splashed my coffee right in his face.

Jimmy, who had been sitting, leaped up instantly, frantically wiping the coffee off his face and cursing, "What's wrong with you, lady? Acting all crazy?"

Holding the now empty coffee cup, I pointed it straight at him. "Try messing with me again, and next time it won't just be coffee. I'll bash your head in with this and then have you explain yourself to the cops over some doughnuts."

Jimmy was wearing a white tee today, now adorned with coffee stains, his hair dripping wet with coffee, making him the picture of misery.

Yet, even in such a state, Jimmy was defiant, "Felicia Hudson, don't think you've scared me. I'm not afraid, I..."

I tuned out the rest of his ramblings and walked out of the coffee shop.

Dustin followed closely behind, asking, "Who's that guy?"

"Haley Perez's brother," I replied, pulling out a wet wipe from my bag to clean the coffee off my fingers.

"Does he bother you often?" Dustin inquired.

"A few times," I said, tossing the used wipe into a nearby trash can.

Dustin fell silent, and I didn't dwell on the incident, instead mentioning, "Herschel's probably in the hospital by now, right?"
