Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn) novel Chapter 127

Allison's cheeks flushed a deep shade of red as she quickly turned away, trying to deny it. "Wh-what are you talking about? I’d never say something like that..."

Joshua's lips curled into a playful grin. "Oh really?"

"Of course! I mean, how could I possibly say something like that with so many people around..." Allison's voice faded into a murmur.

Oh no. Something was coming back to her. Last night, maybe she did say those things?

"I was just rambling!"

The soft morning light filtered through the window, highlighting her rosy cheeks.

Allison bit her lip, clearly embarrassed. "You know I was drunk and talking nonsense. You wouldn't hold that against me, right?"

Her words lacked confidence as she mumbled, "When you're drunk, you can't really control or even recognize your actions. It's like being, uh, 'legally impaired' or something..."

Joshua laughed quietly, his shoulders shaking with amusement. "Giving me a legal lesson, are we?"

In reality, being drunk doesn’t legally make you a 'person with limited capacity.' Allison was just trying to wiggle out of the situation.

Knowing she was caught, Allison huffed, trying to wriggle free from Joshua’s embrace.

Joshua kept his arms securely around her waist. "Are you running away? Did you forget how you were teasing me last night? Are you trying to flirt and then bolt?"

The subtle scent of his body wash lingered, and Allison recognized it as the one she always used.

Joshua leaned in for a kiss, his fingers weaving through her hair. Their kiss was urgent and intense, like a summer thunderstorm or a fierce winter wind—powerful and impossible to resist.

It was Lillian calling.

Why was she up so early? Joshua found his sister a bit annoying at that moment, and his voice showed his impatience. "What’s up?"

Lillian’s excited voice came through. "Hey, Joshua! There’s a meteor shower tomorrow night. Want to check it out? The best view is from North Ridge. Let’s go hiking!"

As he listened, Joshua glanced at Allison, standing nearby, and his gaze softened.

A meteor shower? Allie would probably love that. She’d been working hard, and since tomorrow was the weekend, it would be a great way to relax.

Joshua replied coolly, "Sounds good."

With that little interruption, their earlier romantic tension completely evaporated.
