Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 261

[Let's meet tomorrow afternoon.]

Shanley’s hand tightened on the plate of fruit as he stared at the message on Juniper’s phone. A dark shadow passed over his handsome, refined face.

Juniper had never been one to get close to guys, and this was the first time she had ever asked one out. Could she really be falling for Melvin?

Setting the fruit down, Shanley glanced at his reflection in the window, his brow furrowed. He was just as good-looking as Melvin, wasn't he? He was starting to seriously suspect that the girl’s reliance on him was purely platonic; that she really did just see him as a brother.

Shanley rubbed his temples with a resigned sigh and a wry smile. It seemed it was time to move things along. Otherwise, that girl would never get the hint.

...

The next day, after “tutoring” her physics teacher on the latest exam, Juniper headed to the coffee shop.

“J.”

Melvin was already there and stood up to greet her the moment she walked in. Even though she was much younger than him, she was his senior in the world of racing, and Melvin respected the hierarchy.

“Sit,” Juniper said casually, tossing her backpack onto a chair. She turned to the waiter. “A milkshake and a slice of mango cake, please.”

The order arrived quickly. Juniper eagerly picked up her fork and took a bite of the cake, but her brow immediately furrowed in disappointment.

“What’s wrong?” Melvin couldn't help but smile at her cute reaction.

“It’s not very good,” Juniper mumbled, stuffing another bite into her mouth, her cheeks puffing out. It wasn’t as good as the ones Shanley and Dana made.
