Chapter 157: Don't Call Me Kitten!

"Yes, dear." he answers back, but there's a smirk to his smile, which has me concerned. Even the smell of the brewing coffee can't cover up his overly sugary expression.

Finn steps over my legs to take a seat next Aspen right as Marissa yells back, "Stop being stupid."

Ryland laughs. "I'll get right on it, Kitten."

Marissa turns back to my conversation, a Cheshire cat grin on her face to match her kitten nickname. It turns to a scowl when she sees us looking at her, and she's only half successful as one side of her left lip is still turned up in the corner.

"Don't call me Kitten!" she yells back at him, but it's a wasted effort. The girl is madly in love.

Finn leans in placing a hand on his knee and joins the conversation. "Your logic is nonsense. You're crazy."
