Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn) novel Chapter 493

Carolyn and Watson sat a little off to the side—close enough to see the way Allison’s cheeks turned pink, and the way Joshua looked at her.

His eyes were full of hope, and softer than Carolyn had ever seen. For a second, her heart squeezed so tight it hurt.

She’d never seen Joshua look at anyone like that. There was so much affection in his eyes, it was almost overwhelming.

“Allie, come on, look at him! He’s just waiting for you to kiss him,” Brian joked, grinning wide. “Seriously, I’ve never seen Joshua like this. Ever. Hahaha…”

Sabrina joined in, chanting, “Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!”

Olivia nudged Allison with her elbow, teasing, “Allie, how can you say no when he’s basically asking for it?”

Everyone started laughing and cheering—everyone except Watson and Carolyn.

Joshua was sitting right next to Allison.

Allison blushed, looking a little flustered. But with everyone watching and egging her on, she gave a shy smile, wrapped her arms around Joshua’s neck, closed her eyes, and kissed him.

At that same moment, Carolyn looked down at the floor. It felt like someone had driven a knife straight into her chest. The pain was sharp, making it hard to breathe.

She never imagined she’d one day see Joshua—always so cool and distant—kissing another woman in front of everyone. And what’s worse, he was the one who’d asked for it.

Carolyn stared blankly at the floor, her vision swimming. For a second, it felt like the ship itself was rocking beneath her.

But the cruise was steady, the sea outside calm. The dizziness was all inside her.

Watson turned away, refusing to look at the couple. His face was blank, eyes dull, as he sipped his drink in silence.

Allison had only planned to give Joshua a quick, barely-there kiss, just enough to get it over with.

But as soon as her lips touched his and she started to pull back, Joshua’s hands slid to the back of her head, holding her gently but firmly. Suddenly, he was the one leading the kiss—pulling her in, deepening it.
