Cheat With My Boyfriend Best Friend

The scarf

When we were finished, Aaron carried me into the bathroom and insisted that I take a bath with him. I did climb into the tub with him, but I turned away so we wouldn’t end up having sex again.

He was oddly silent, and when I turned back around after cleaning myself up, I found that he’d fallen asleep with his head resting against the edge of the bathtub.

I didn’t know whether I should laugh or cry. I gently shook his shoulder: “Aaron…? You need to get out now, you’ll catch a cold.”

He didn’t respond.

There was no way I could get him out on my own-he was around 6’3″ at least-but I didn’t want to just leave him there. With a sigh, I sat back near the faucet and turned on the hot water every once in a while so he wouldn’t get too cold.

Thankfully, he woke up before long. His eyes blinked open and he smiled when he saw that I was still in the water with him. There was a tender expression on his face. “You can get out first.”

I stood with my back toward him and got out to slip into a robe. He followed almost immediately and crashed into me before I could get dressed, sending water splattering over the tiles. I was so startled that I nearly fell forward, and he took that opportunity to scoop me up in his arms and throw me back onto the bed.

“Hey!” I hissed.

Aaron hugged me from behind with his head buried in my

shoulder. Then he said in a hazy voice, “Sleep with me for a while.”

I patted his hand on his wet skin. “You need to dry off first.”

He hummed lazily, “I am…”

Immediately afterward, I heard his soft snoring. I didn’t move until his body fully relaxed and let go of me. Then I carefully got up and draped the comforter over him. His hand grabbed a fistful of the white sheets and he frowned, like a child

having a nightmare. I couldn’t stop myself from reaching out, and he immediately grabbed my hand. After everything that happened tonight, I didn’t think I’d sleep well, but I drifted off as soon as I shut my eyes…

When I woke up, I didn’t know what time it was. The heavy curtains didn’t let any light through, so I took out my phone to

check the clock.

It was eight in the morning.

always said Aaron was a p*ayboy who leeched off of his parents’ success, but Daisy felt the exact opposite. To her, Aaron was nothing short of an entrepreneurial genius who rebelled against his parents to pursue his own dreams; he had every right to do whatever he wanted. Then there was also the version of him that Cinder told me about… Regardless, I figured that Daisy was the closest to him. She’d know him better than anyone, and so her admiration for him rubbed
