Cheat With My Boyfriend Best Friend

Eight Million

Everyone’s attention moved on to the next press- ing matter.

Leslie’s statement did more damage than she’d expected. What she assumed was a ‘harmless statement’ ended up mak- ing most of the players put a finger down. She scoffed and smiled, “Is this a Hallmark movie or something? And you guys who put your fingers down must be afraid your girlfriend refuse to go back with you in Christmas, so that you will be laughed by the whole family.”

“Besides, I don’t think Aaron really lost. He’s probably just lying to make us all feel poor!”

“Bingo!” Aaron grinned. “Now she gets it!”

“What?!” Jack cried. “So your mansion isn’t the size of a small theme park? And you don’t have a cellar full of vintage wines? You don’t own horses..?”

“Well,” Aaron glanced at me. “There is a woman I love. As long as she knows who she is, that’s all that matters.”

“Who even is she?!” Jack’s question put everyone’s eyes on me. “An actor? A supermodel?”

With a frown, Jack started listing obscure celebrities:

“Jennifer Swiss?”

“No.”

“Susan Butler?”

“No.”

“Lydia Johnson…?”

“No. What the hell, man? Lydia’s married,” Aaron scowled.

The crowd was up in arms asking him who his love was, but he simply laughed and refrained from answering.

Then, from the corner of the room, Jason chimed in. “I heard Aaron won an auction for a raw diamond at Sotheby’s a while ago…”

room was still filled with talk about the lucky lady who was gonna get an $8 million ring from Aaron. A bunch of women were excitedly discussing what the best cut would be and what other stones would complement it. A handful of those women lamented that they weren’t Aaron’s lover.
