"I used to think you were no one special to me. I thought you were just one of the many girls who liked me because of my looks or money. But I can't help but feel like something's missing in my life after you stopped coming to work. I kept imagining you sitting at your desk, bringing me coffee, or… Well, you get the point.
"So imagine my surprise when I found myself jealous of Marcus after you two got together. How can you treat another man like how you used to treat me? I couldn't stand it! I couldn't stand seeing you being nice to another man. I can't!"
Annie was starting to get confused. 'What is he doing? Is he trying to play the pity card?'
"Umm… Mister Aaron…"
Aaron rubbed his face against her shoulder. "So what do you say? Be my girlfriend? I promise I won't flirt with any other woman if you agree to be my girlfriend. I'll only have eyes for you. So, please, please, please give me a chance."
Annie's breathing grew labored. Her brain told her she would only end up getting hurt if she agreed to be his girlfriend, but her heart…
"No, Mister Aaron. What I want is a stable relationship and a simple life. While I admit that I still have feelings for you, I'm afraid we're not that compatible. It was naive of me to think I could change you with my love, but now I know that I can't.
"You say you like me now, but you've been living a carefree life since you were young. How long do you think you can stay off other women? A year? Half a year? Three months? In any case, I don't think I can take it if you abandon me again while you go around having affairs with other women. So…let's just forget it."
Annie felt Aaron's body tense up when she said the last sentence.
"Are you seriously not going to consider it any further?" he asked.
Annie was not that resolute herself since Aaron was the man she was so madly in love with before.

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...
