Chapter 75

Jocelyn was alurping down her porndge all by herself, totally spaced out about the dude who was also shacking up at her place

After the polished off her pomidge, she curled up on the couch to binge-watch some TV. But she actually didn’t care what’s on TV. Her mend was like, totally blank.

When she heard the door creak open, she just instinctively glanced back

Melvin strutted out in his undies, gave her a look, and moseyed over to the kitchen to grab a glass of water before plopping down next to her. He casually slung his legs over the coffee table, all laid-back and nonchalant.

With one hand, he nursed his water, while the other just naturally landed on Jocelyn’s shoulder.

Jocelyn dodged his arm like she was dodging a bullet.

Melvin paused, cocking his head to look at her

Jocelyn kept her eyes glued to the TV, not even tossing him a glance.

Neither of them was actually watching whatever was playing on the screen, they were just silently locked in some kind of unspoken standoff, not saying a peep to each other

After downing his water, Melvin was gearing up to leave

That’s when Jocelyn piped up

“You’re the one who rallied the parents to vouch for me, right?”

Melvin settled back down snatching a throw from the couch to cover his thighs.

She was blaming him!

“Don’t you get it? This all went south because you didn’t listen to me about having that interview with that guy and going out for dinner together if you hadn’t gotten so chummy with him, things would’ve blown up like this? Melvin gave her a frosty look. Or are you saying if I hadn’t pushed you to sort things out with him that day, you would’ve just gone with the flow and hooked up with him?”
