Cheat With My Boyfriend Best Friend

Why’s My Darling So Upset?

“Want some coffee?” I asked Nick.

“Yes, please.” He held out his cup eagerly, then took a sip. “D*mn, that’s good!”

He nearly jumped out of his chair and cried, “I feel like I’m in heaven! Where’d you get this?!”

“Oh… Haha, it’s just a custom drink from the Starbucks out front.” I smiled stiffly. It was actually from Aaron; he brewed it himself.

Breakfast was embarrassing. The food was incredible-the bacon, crepes, and eggs were all perfect-but the

conversation afterward ruined my appetite. My stomach felt like it was filled with rocks.

“Honestly, Olive… When are you gonna break up with him?”

“I don’t know. Maybe today.” I shrugged and avoided Aaron’s eyes. I desperately racked my brain for something to say that’d liven up the frigid atmosphere.

“Maybe never…” Aaron muttered. His voice grew quieter.

I swallowed another mouthful of coffee as I felt my heart sink.

I don’t know why I teased him like that. Aaron looked devastated, and his furrowed brow made him look like a lost child.

But we weren’t anything more than f*ck buddies.

“If you like the coffee, why don’t you take some with you?” Aaron suddenly asked. “It doesn’t look like you ate much else.”

“No, I… I just don’t have that big of an appetite right now.”

“It’s alright. I’m no chef at all. I won’t be upset if you don’t like my cooking…”

“Aaron, that’s not—”

“Hello? Earth to Olive! What are you thinking about?” Nick waved his hand in front of my face. “You’ve been

daydreaming a lot lately.”

I smiled weakly.
