Cheat With My Boyfriend Best Friend

As usual, Aaron gave me a good-morning kiss as soon as I woke up, then

cooked me a delicious breakfast. But after everything that had happened

between us, I felt awkward around him for the first time in a long time.

I couldn’t shake the feeling that he might suddenly kneel down to propose to me

again, and every time he reached into his pockets, I was afraid he was going to

take out another ring.

“Olive, the weather is very nice today. Eliott said there’s going to be a kite

festival in Parsons Park this afternoon. Do you want to go?” Aaron asked

earnestly, handing me a glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice.

I accepted the juice hesitantly. In the past two days, Aaron had suggested going

out a few times, but I had turned him down. If I kept rejecting him again and

again, Aaron would take the hint, right?

Enter title…

I took a sip of my juice and then nodded, pretending to be cheerful. “Sure, I

haven’t flown a kite in a while. It sounds fun.”

For a moment, I thought Aaron seemed relieved, but after a closer look, I saw

that his expression hadn’t changed. Then he smiled at me and said, “I’ll go get

ready.”

He leaned over and kissed me on the cheek before turning to head downstairs.

As Aaron turned to leave, I was struck by a sudden panic. I quickly gulped down

the rest of my juice, put down the glass, and ran to catch up to Aaron. “Should I
