Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn) novel Chapter 462

Allison’s cheeks were blazing, her skin so warm it felt like the heat might spill out through every pore. She was lost in a rush of longing, her whole body wrapped in that heady, electric warmth.

Joshua opened his eyes and let her go.

Allison was still breathless. Her hazy gaze met Joshua’s, and his dark, bottomless eyes pulled her in like a whirlpool.

His voice was low, lazy, and just a little smug. “Yeah, it’s sweet. But you’re sweeter than any candy.”

Allison blushed even harder.

...

That night, after her shower, Allison lay in bed, heart pounding, wide awake.

The memories of the day played on repeat in her mind—every moment bright and vivid, like scenes from a movie.

They’d kissed twice. Twice, all in one day.

It all felt so unreal, like she’d wandered straight into a dream.

It had been six months since they broke up.

A lot had happened in that time.

She’d always been able to feel Joshua’s affection, even when she tried to bury her own feelings. Maybe it was because here, in Greenfield, nobody knew her. There was no pressure from her dad, no old wounds lurking in every corner. The landscape was just so beautiful, so healing, it made her want to finally let go of everything she’d been holding back.

And just like that, her walls crumbled. All the emotions she’d kept bottled up came flooding out, impossible to stop.

The hugs, the kisses, the soft night breeze, the way her heart raced out of control—she could still feel it all.

Even though she and Joshua were back together, she still hadn’t figured out how to tell her dad.

There were just the three of them left—her, Javier, and Lizzy. All of them had been dragged into the Fisher family mess. Chris had nearly killed them. Now, Javier was totally against her getting back with Joshua.

Just thinking about it made her excitement fade, replaced by a heavy ache in her chest.

For now, she couldn’t let her dad find out.

Meanwhile—

Joshua felt like he was floating in a jar of honey, the sweetness of Allison’s kiss still lingering on his lips.

He couldn’t help himself. After his shower, he called Allison for a video chat.

The next three days felt like a dream. Allison and Joshua explored every corner of Greenfield’s stunning landscapes.

They hiked snowy mountains, holding each other as they watched the sun dip behind peaks over thirteen thousand feet high.

They rode horses across endless meadows, wild and free.

They ran through fields of wildflowers, laughing and shouting with pure joy.

They kissed under the soft, silver moonlight.

Those days in Greenfield were the happiest, most carefree days Allison had had in ages.

...

Back in Oak Lake, Allison threw herself back into her work.

Joshua started stopping by her law office more and more.

One afternoon, Carolyn came to see Allison at the office and ran right into Joshua in the parking garage.
