Chapter 105 – Cheating with My Boyfriend’s Best Friend Novel by Jane E L (Olive & Aaron)

“…fine.” I gave up my useless curiosity and decided to enjoy the mystery.

‘Take a break Miss Olive-Control-Freak-Woods’ I said to myself. Though in fact, his indirect answer only made me more curious.

And then I had a realization: some people would kill for a romance like this.

So I forced myself to keep silence. I mean, it’s not a difficult task. I did not know why, but in this moment, I trust Aaron. I trust him to take me anywhere in this world.

Maybe it was a good idea to just run away, till the end of the world.

The sunset started painting the sky a beautiful orange that reminded me of California’s Sunset Strip. I once been there, and got astonished by the beautiful scenery there. How I wish that road never had an end at that time.

So I could drove the car and doing nothing except enjoy that beautiful sunset.

But that time, I was in a rush. The airplane ticket force me to leave. And this time, I had more choices.

I felt as if traveling back the time and fulfilling my pities.

Though there were some differences: there weren’t as many buildings. No fancy lights, luxurious billboards, high buildings, nothing artificial. The landscape was only decorated with the endless coastline, fine white sand, and a fiery sunset.

It felt like we were the only two people left in the world.

I perked up excitedly and took a deep breath of the oncoming sea breeze as Aaron put on his sunglasses. With one hand, he hit a bu tton on the radio, which started playing old 80’s rock.

“What do you think?” He asked as he pulled over by the beach. Before I could answer, he walked around to my side of the car, opened my door, and pulled me into his arms bridal style. Then he walked down onto the sand and strolled along the beach.

I wr apped my arms around Aaron’s neck. The setting sun was the color of a rosy blush, right where the ocean ki ssed the sky, and I couldn’t fight the smile that grew on my face.

Right then, my heart was filled with a deep sense of serenity. It was enough for me to forget about all of my troubles. The only thing that existed was the sunset in front of me.

“Do you like it?” Aaron asked again, frowning. He seemed put off by my unresponsiveness.

I reached up to his face and caressed him tenderly. “I love it…” I breathed. “It’s beautiful.”

“What about me?” He smirked as he leaned in and ki ssed me.

“… What about you?” I c*cked my head, pretending to misunderstand.

“You’re such a tease.” Aaron grumbled in that alluring voice of his. Just as I started to giggle, he ki ssed me again.

The moment our eyes reconnected, I could see the slightest hint of bubbly excitement in his eyes.

The next ki ss was unexpectedly gentle, and I experienced a strong feeling that I had never experienced before. I was so taken aback that I gasped, but I couldn’t help it. Aaron’s ki sses just had that effect on me.

When the first icy gust signaled nightfall, I couldn’t help but wince and shrink back. Without a word, Aaron took off his suit jacket, wr apped it tightly around me, and held me close as he walked back to the car.

“Sorry. I should’ve checked the weather before taking you out here…”

He gently stroked my face as he got into the driver’s seat as he apologized. His face was painted with deep regret.

“That’s okay.” I playfully tilted my head. “And to answer your question: you’re more beautiful than any sunset I’ve seen.”

It wasn’t just the gorgeous view that made my heart flutter. It was that he was the one watching it with me.

Aaron looked awestruck for a moment, then he suddenly leaned in and ki ssed me. It’s too bad his hand sli pped into my shirt just as I sneezed.

Aaron stopped moving and laughed lightly. “Let’s head back now. I’m getting ahead of myself.”

With that, he hit the gas and whisked me away.

He didn’t say it out loud, but I knew exactly what he wanted to do once we got back to the hotel. If I hadn’t sneezed just now, he would’ve stripped me naked and f*cked me right here in the car.

I stared at him, watching the night breeze blow through his hair. “I feel like Daisy from the Great Gatsby right now. On my way to another extravagant party in Gatsby’s sports car…”

“We’re not cheating on each other.” Aaron chuckled and teased, “Daisy was cheating on him. You’re not.”

I rolled my eyes and laughed along with him.

“But I wouldn’t be like Gatsby. I wouldn’t lose my woman a second time.” He added suddenly. His voice was nearly drowned out by the loud music from the stereo.

“What?” I didn’t understand what he meant by that. What ‘second time’ was he talking about?

I was jerked out of my thoughts when the car suddenly stopped at our destination.

Aaron got out of the car and, like a gentleman, opened the passenger door for me. “It’s chilly, so let’s get inside quickly. I don’t want you to catch a cold.”

I smiled, but before I could agree, I caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

And my smile froze on my face.

When Aaron saw me tense up, he glanced in the direction I was looking.

“Vincent…” I muttered, voice cold. I thought I’d finally gotten away from that s*umbag-if for just a short time-but he haunted me everywhere I went.

Shouldn’t he be on vacation with Emily? That’s what we all agreed on, right?

Why was he here? Did he crave the thrill of cheating right under my nose? Or did he want to beg for my forgiveness?

The moment Aaron saw Vincent, he looked even more irritated than I did. Neither of us expected this.

I pursed my li ps and reached out to pull Aaron along by the arm. “Why don’t we… wait a while before we go in.”

I didn’t want to have any contact with Vincent, but Aaron gave me a reassuring look before he pulled me to his side.

Aaron always had an aura about him that made me feel at ease, so I couldn’t help but trust him.

The moment we walked past him, Vincent shamelessly called out to me.

“Olive! Didn’t expect to see you here!” Vincent called as he walked toward me. He reached out to try to pull me in for a hug, but when he saw me shrouded in Aaron’s suit jacket, his expre ssion turned grim.

I subconsciously flinched away from his touch, and Aaron held me by the shoulders and glared at Vincent forcefully. Silently, he claimed me as his.

“Where’s Emily?” I looked at Vincent indifferently. “Isn’t she supposed to be your ‘girlfriend’ for Christmas?”

Pain flashed in Vincent’s eyes, and he tried to explain himself. “Olive, you don’t understand. It’s not like that with Emily…”

“You’re still trying to convince me? After everything that’s happened? You must think I’m really st*pid.” I snickered as my heart flooded with disgust. If Vincent would just outright admit to cheating, I might be able to respect him as a man at the very least.

Too bad he was just another coward.

“Olive…”

“Stay away from my girl,” Aaron raised his voice, stopping Vincent in his tracks. “You’re not welcome here. Leave us alone-leave HER alone-or I’ll call security.”

“You really…” All of Vincent’s confidence evaporated under Aaron’s stare. Despite how harshly Vincent glared at him, he couldn’t find the words to argue.

Emily suddenly walked over from the front desk with a room card in her hand. She held her chin up proudly as she glanced over at me and Aaron. “You can’t just kick Vincent out, Aaron. My family has also invested in this property. You have no right.”

Aaron’s eyebrows furrowed as he realized he had less power here than he initially thought.

Once Vincent heard this, his bravado returned. He looked at Aaron smugly, and his expre ssion made my stomach turn.
