Cheat With My Boyfriend Best Friend

There were various instruments harmonizing in the auditorium violins, violas, clarinets, pianos… They all wove together to make an elegant symphony. But that was three seconds ago, before Aaron said those words. The world around me was quiet. I couldn’t hear anything over the sound of my brain exploding while my heart pounded in my chest.

“Excuse me?!” I turned to Aaron with wide eyes and tilted my head to look at him. I don’t think I’d ever looked so bewildered in my life.

He really had the nerve to say such complete and utter b*llsh*t! Wasn’t he worried about what his aunt would think? What if his parents found out? I could already imagine his mother inviting me over one day just to offer me five million dollars to leave her son.

If word got out to Vincent, my plans for revenge will be absolutely ruined-permanently!

Aaron seemed completely oblivious as to how reckless his plan was, if he even had one. He gave me an innocent wink that told me he had no intention of correcting himself. If anything, he pretended to be even more intimate with me.

“Darling, this is my aunt. Jane Green.”

“Are you crazy?” I hissed in a hushed tone. I knew Aunt Jane would – still hear me, but I couldn’t control my reaction.

Maybe I shouldn’t have protested right away. After all, I still hadn’t greeted his aunt properly yet.

“It seems like the two of you haven’t reached a consensus on your relationship…” She mused with a good-natured expression. Her eyes wandered back and forth between me and Aaron.

Then her gentle smile became more mischievous. “Don’t get all worked up now, Aaron.”

Her demeanor wasn’t quite naughty-I wouldn’t disrespect her like that – but I’d describe it as impishly playful. Cute, even.

She leaned in closer and put her index finger to her lips. Then she gave Aaron a wink of her own and whispered, “When it comes to marriage, it’s the woman who decides if you two are ready or not. Don’t force it. It only takes away from your charm.”

“I’m sorry, Mrs. Green,” I waved my hands about in denial. “We’re not engaged. He’s just joking.”

“Oh? Aaron’s never joked about something like that before. And please, Jane is perfectly fine.” She nodded and held her hand out to me.
