Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk novel Chapter 10:
Back at her villa, Allison carried her gift inside, juggling it with her suitcase as she continued packing. As she tucked away the present meant for Joshua, her thoughts wandered back to his composed and striking face.
They went way back.
Their families lived just a couple of blocks away in the same neighborhood, so they often crossed paths as kids. Joshua was four years her senior. The first time she laid eyes on him was at the Fisher family's place. Her parents had taken her along for a visit. She was just ten then, still a kid, while Joshua already looked like he had stepped right out of a teen drama as the leading heartthrob.
Allison could still recall her first glance at Joshua, thinking he was unbelievably cute. His face had an almost intimidating allure, but his eyes were as chilly as a winter's day. Her mom nudged her to say hello, and she obediently called out, "Joshua."
In her memory, Joshua was always a bit distant. He replied with a simple "Hello." She figured he must be tough to get along with, and this assumption stuck with her for years.
Then came high school and, with it, her struggles in math. Somehow, Joshua’s mother Rose caught wind of it and suggested to her father Javier, "Why not have Joshua tutor Allie? He aced his math exams with top marks!"
By then, Allison’s mother had passed, and her carefree nature had shifted drastically over five years. She'd grown from a carefree kid into a quiet, rebellious teen.
"I don't need your help," was her greeting when Joshua walked into her home.
Joshua was twenty-one then, tall and lean, easily over six feet. He wore a plain white tee and dark gray jeans. His hair was slightly tousled, lending him a rogue vibe.
"But I insist," he replied, his voice carrying a playful yet nonchalant tone.
Allison expected Joshua to be strict and demanding, but she was wrong. After going through her math papers, Joshua simply furrowed his brow and patiently walked her through each problem. There wasn't a hint of impatience in his manner.
His voice was low and smooth, with a slight gravelly touch that made math seem less intimidating to her. He even showed her two or three different ways to solve some problems.
Allison's initial defiance gradually turned into admiration. "Wow, you're amazing! It's been ages since you were in high school. How do you remember everything so well?"
"Not everything," he admitted with a grin. "I did brush up on the textbooks before coming over."
During the summer of her junior year, Joshua tutored her for two whole months. He was a junior at Lakeside College then and devoted almost his entire summer to helping her, checking her work, and grading her papers.
High school summer flew by, and when her classes resumed, Joshua was still on break. Every afternoon, Allison would come home to find him waiting in her living room, ready to dive into more math lessons.
Thanks to Joshua, her math scores soared, jumping from failing to a solid A. She excelled in her other subjects, and with math no longer holding her back, she got into Lakeside College, following Joshua's step.
Back then, she saw Joshua as the ideal big brother. She admired and liked him, but romance never crossed her mind. So, when her dad brought up the idea of an arranged marriage with the Fisher family and Joshua becoming her husband, she couldn't wrap her head around it. To her, Joshua was just a brother.
As Allison was lost in thought, the sound of the bedroom door opening snapped her back to reality. Shawn stood there, leaning in the doorway. "Almost done packing?"
"Yeah, just about," she replied.
Shawn gave her a knowing look. "Allison, is there something you want to talk about?"

Allison glanced up at him, her eyes puzzled. "What are you talking about?"
Shawn figured she might still be upset and wasn’t ready to hand over the gift she'd bought. ‘That's alright,’ he thought. He could extend an olive branch first.
His tone softened, a touch of warmth creeping in. "I didn't mean to snap at you earlier at the store. Let’s not fight, okay?"
Would that do the trick?
Allison let out a sigh, her gaze steady. "I'm not upset."
Shawn wasn’t buying it. "You're just saying that."
"Yeah whatever." Her voice was calm, unaffected.
Shawn felt his patience slipping away. "Allison, I've already said sorry. What more do you want from me?"
Allison kept packing, her tone steady. "I don't need your apology."
Shawn held her gaze for a moment before awkwardly blurting, "What about the gift?"
Allison turned to him, curiosity piqued. "What gift?"
"Jayden mentioned he saw you getting a watch for me," Shawn said. "Wasn't it to make amends and cheer me up? I'm here now. Aren't you going to give it to me?"
Allison was about to clarify it wasn't for him, but Shawn pressed on obliviously. "Come on, enough with the games. It's getting old."
Allison couldn't help but laugh at that.
Shawn's brow furrowed. "Why are you laughing?"
"It’s just… you," Allison met his intense gaze. "I did buy a watch, but it wasn’t for you. I don’t think I’ve done anything wrong, so why should I apologize?"
"Not for me? Then who’s it for?" Shawn's temper flared, his hands clenching tightly.
"It’s none of your concern," Allison replied, her demeanor breezy.
"None of my concern?" Shawn was fuming. "I'm your boyfriend! How can I not care if you're buying gifts for another guy?"
Allison remained composed, unlike Shawn. She found a touch of humor in his anger. "I thought you are Kate's boyfriend?"
Shawn quickly defended himself, "Kate and I aren’t together like that."
His voice dropped, lacking the confidence he had earlier, as guilt gnawed at him. His fling with Kate wasn’t exactly aboveboard, and Allison was still his official girlfriend. He appreciated Kate’s fiery, bold nature but also cherished Allison's graceful, understanding demeanor. He wasn’t ready to tell Allison about his relationship with Kate.
Shawn hastily explained, "The whole ring shopping with Kate was my mom’s idea. We weren’t buying a ring for Kate. My mom got a new dress and needed matching jewelry.
"She thought Kate had a great fashion sense, so she asked her to help. We weren’t just looking at rings; we were picking out necklaces, earrings, and bracelets to match her dress. I know you got the wrong idea, but I was mad and didn’t explain because I wanted to see if you'd get jealous."
"Jealous?" Allison's eyes were icy. "You really think I'd get jealous?"
"Allison, I'm sorry…"
Allison’s tone was frosty. "I've heard your apology, but I don’t accept it. The gift wasn’t for you."
Shawn’s voice rose. "Then who’s it for?"
"My fiancé."
Shawn let out a humorless chuckle, his eyes mocking. "Allison, you’ll say anything to push me into marrying you, won’t you? So, you're saying if I agree to marry you and become your fiancé, then you’ll give me the gift and forgive me, right?"
