Xante frowned and looked down at Aaron's phone, which he had put in silent mode. There was an incoming call, and she did not need the caller ID to tell her it was from Sunny. Her sleepiness gave way to frustration as she thought, 'Oh my god, he's so annoying!'
"You can just turn off your phone, you know," she said impatiently.
Aaron gave a helpless shrug. "Your little lover says he'll call the cops on me for kidnapping you if I turn off my phone. I don't want to go down to the police station if I can help it."
Xante was speechless. 'That crazy son of a b*tch.'
She took Aaron's phone back to her room. When Sunny called her again, she leaned back against her headboard with a frown to take the call.
"Aaron! My sources tell me you live together with Xante! Don't think I won't really call the cops if you don't let her answer my calls!"
"Call the cops, then. I dare you," said Xante coldly.
There was a brief silence before Sunny said in a high-pitched voice, "Xante! Thank god you finally answered the phone! I was worried sick about you."
"What's there to worry about me?" asked Xante in an annoyed tone.
Sunny did not know how to answer her, so he scoffed haughtily and said, "I don't know, but just know that I worry about you whenever I can't contact you."
Xante could not stand him anymore. "Sunny Rivera, I was fine before you came along, and I'm going to be fine whether you're in my life or not! Stop harassing my friend 'cause there's really nothing to worry about. Understood?!"
Sunny inhaled sharply, and his voice sounded a little bit off when he childishly replied, "Fine, whatever. I didn't mean to bother your friend, but how can I not panic when it was always Corinne who picked up your phone when I called you for the past two days? It's not like I can go find you since Lucas has grounded me."
Xante sat up straighter. "What did you say? Corinne picked up when you called my phone?"
"How did you answer?" Xante was starting to get a headache.
"I didn't answer her since I remember you told me not to let her know anything about us! So I quickly hung up the phone," answered Sunny honestly.
Xante massaged her temples. 'What's the point of him hanging up the phone when he already told Corinne what he shouldn't have told her? She must be mad at me for sleeping with her kid brother. But it wasn't like I meant for that to happen. It's all Sunny's fault for giving in so easily and not stopping when I told him to!'
"It's getting late. You should go to bed now. Don't call me unless there's an emergency. I have no time to play with you," said Xante.
She was about to hang up the phone when Sunny said in a trembling voice, "I'm actually outside…and it's so cold… I can't sleep when it's so cold…"
Xante's thumb froze. "Why are you still outside when it's so late?" she asked with a frown.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
