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

It tickled.

She knew there was no way Joshua could actually keep his hands to himself.

Whatever. She was honestly too exhausted to care.

She slept like a rock—no dreams, no waking up, just deep, uninterrupted sleep.

It was the weekend, so there was no need to rush to the law firm, and no alarm to drag her out of bed.

When Allison finally opened her eyes, the clock on the wall said ten.

Her whole body felt weak and achy. She shifted a little and saw an arm wrapped around her from behind.

She always slept on her side, with her back to Joshua. He had one arm tucked under her neck, the other resting on her waist, his body pressed close, holding her tight.

Honestly, it was the perfect position. With her shoulder propped up, he could slip his arm under her without it going numb.
