“Oh,” he muttered happily. “This one will work.”
A crooked grin spread across his face as he snapped the picture.
Before Amara could even react, Jasper had already opened Instagram with clumsy fingers and uploaded it with a ridiculously cheesy caption.
‘Who wouldn’t want to stay home with a beauty like this around?’
The second Amara heard him reading the caption out loud, her eyes opened.
She stared at him in disbelief for a few seconds before rolling her eyes so hard it looked painful.
“Please come back to your senses,” she groaned. “What the hell is wrong with you? That caption is awful. I’m literally about to gag.”
But Jasper only grinned proudly at himself.
“You can sacrifice a little dignity for me,” he declared.
Then he tossed the phone carelessly onto the couch beside him and leaned back with satisfaction.
“Now let’s see how much she chases me after seeing I already have a girl at home.”
Juliette snorted loudly.
“You idiot,” she laughed. “Wouldn’t it be easier to just get an actual girlfriend?”
Jasper immediately looked offended.
“Do you think I haven’t tried?” he shot back.
That only made Juliette laugh harder. She nearly doubled over clutching her stomach while Amara shook her head helplessly beside them.
After a while, Juliette let out a long exhausted sigh and slowly pushed herself to her feet.
“Alright, I’m leaving,” she groaned tiredly, stretching her arms over her head. “I’m so exhausted I can literally feel my bones breaking.”
She grabbed her bag from the table.
“You two deal with the rest of this disaster yourselves.”
Still laughing quietly to herself, she walked out of the apartment and left.
The room became quieter after she was gone.
A few moments later, Jasper suddenly made a horrible face.
His expression twisted in disgust before he pressed a hand over his mouth.
“Oh no,” he muttered weakly. “I’m about to throw up.”
Before Amara could even react, he abruptly shot to his feet and stumbled away unsteadily.
“Jasper—”
He disappeared down the hallway immediately.
Amara frowned in confusion and quickly stood up.
“Hey, are you alright?” she called after him.
