The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Jason turned toward Corinne, who looked a little lost and confused. “I think she needs someone to talk to more than she needs
to rest.”
Lucas frowned. “I don’t think she wants to talk to you right now.”
“How can you be so sure? If you don’t believe me, you can go out now and let me talk to her alone for a while. I’m pretty sure I
can make her smile.”
“Cut the crap and come out with me now!” said Lucas impatiently as he dragged Jason out.
Jason did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Corinne! I’ll come back to see you tomorrow!”
Corinne glanced at him impassively before turning back to look outside the window dazedly.
...
Jason straightened out his clothes after being dragged out of the room by Lucas. “Lucas, you idiot! How can you ruin my chance
to talk to Corinne alone?”
Lucas rolled his eyes at him. “Oh, save it. She’s in a bad mood as it is, so why add to it?”
Jason scoffed. “Oh, so you know she’s sad as well? And we all know very well who made her sad. Lucas, I’m sure you can tell
Corinne will never be happy with Jeremy. What happened here just proves that.”
Lucas frowned. ‘He’s right. Corinne will never be happy with that b*stard Jeremy, but...’
“That doesn’t mean she’ll be happy with you either! I’m warning you, stay away from her! Neither you nor Jeremy are fit to be her
husband!”
Jason spread out his hands innocently. “How could you say that about me, Lucas? What have I done to make you think that?”
“Oh, please. Drop the act. You know very well how messy all of your past relationships were. Do I really need to spell them out
for you?” answered Lucas with disgust.
Jason smiled cheekily. “Well, I’m a man after all. It’s only normal that I have a colorful past with women. I mean, what man
doesn’t?”

He instantly regretted saying that last sentence after he remembered who he was talking to. Smiling apologetically, he said,
“Oops. I almost forgot I’m talking to a virgin. I must say, I’m impressed, Lucas. You’re like a rare, mythical beast.”
Lucas’ expression instantly darkened. “Get out of my face this instant! Don’t make me beat you up in a hospital.”
Jason patted his shoulder. “Look at you, getting all worked up again. Can’t you take a joke at all? Plus, I was praising you.”
Lucas slapped his hand away. “Get lost!”
Jason shrugged and turned serious. “Lucas, jokes aside, I really think I can make Corinne happy. I, at least, will be there when
she needs me, unlike Jeremy. So won’t you at least consider me? We’ve been friends for so long, so why not make our
friendship even closer by accepting me as your brother-in-law?”
Lucas continued to look at him with disgust when he said, “You’re not worthy to be with my sister, so don’t even think about it.”
Jason shrugged. “Tsk! Some friend you are.”
