Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn) novel Chapter 401

Allison hesitated, caught off guard by his question.

She mumbled a soft, “Yeah.”

“He knows you like blue, too,” Joshua said, the hint of a smile tugging at his lips—though his tone was sharp enough to cut. “That’s nice.”

Allison pressed her lips together and glanced at the bouquet of blue flowers sitting on the passenger seat. Joshua’s taste had always been impeccable. He never picked flowers at random—this bouquet was exactly her vibe.

Joshua noticed her staring at the flowers and spoke in a flat, unreadable voice. “I was going to give them to you, but since you already have flowers, I guess these are just extra.”

Allison didn’t know what to say. She hesitated, then offered awkwardly, “Well… I should get going?”

She turned, ready to leave.

“Wait!” Joshua called out, his voice suddenly urgent. “It’s not like two bouquets are too much to carry. Why don’t you just take these, too? They’re just taking up space in the car.”

With her back to him, Allison couldn’t help the small smile that played at her lips.

She turned around and met his eyes. “Taking up space, huh?”

He nodded, his voice low. “If you don’t want them, I’ll just toss them.”

Allison let out a quiet laugh. “No way. They’re too pretty to throw out. I’ll take them.”

Joshua got out, walked around the car, and handed her the flowers.

Allison hugged both bouquets to her chest. “Thanks.”

His eyes seemed to darken just a bit when he heard her say it.

She noticed, but didn’t comment. At this point, with where things stood between them, politeness was all she could give.

Allison climbed back into her car, balancing the two bouquets in her arms.

Linda looked over, eyebrows raised in surprise. “Allie, where’d the second bouquet come from? Who gave them to you?”

From their parking spot, neither Linda nor Javier could see Joshua’s car, so they’d missed the whole exchange.
