Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 8 – Didn't Want To Leave
(Aiden’s POV) The sky probably matched Jessamine’s emotions as it poured rain heavily on the ground. When I visited Mr. Douglas earlier to borrow some plumbing tools, like a weather forecaster, he told me it would rain hard and that I should close the window in Jessamine’s bedroom tonight before sleeping. No wonder she was smitten with him as the older man was funny, witty, sweet, and talked about Jessamine and Deborah with fatherly love in his tone. “God, I’m full!” Deborah chuckled as she finished her second pork burrito. “You’re really something, Aiden.” “I’m glad you like it,” I said, forcing a smile, but I couldn’t help glancing at Jessamine’s empty chair. “You can’t force her to eat,” Deborah smiled, catching my eyes on my best friend’s seat. “Don’t worry, Aiden. If she gets hungry, even at midnight, your best friend will get up and eat.” “Does this usually happen?” I asked worriedly. “I have known Jessamine since third grade, but ten years -” “Nine years, ten months, and s
Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 9 – My Crazy Best Friend
(Aiden’s POV)It was past midnight when Deborah exited Jessamine’s room. She sighed, looking exhausted, as she walked toward the living room and sat in her usual place on the loveseat. She rose her feet to the sofa and hugged her knees.“What happened in there, Deb?” I darted my eyes at her, telling her I would not return to Jessamine’s bedroom without getting an answer.“It’s nothing. Your best friend was just having a nightmare, Aiden,” she sighed, obviously lying as she craned her neck to the seat’s backrest.“My best friend was screaming, squirming in bed as if she was in pain,” I gritted my teeth, holding my patience at her. “What happened to her?” My eyes were wide, horrified that she got hurt in my decade of absence.Deborah pursed her lips, looking at me while thinking, and then she shook her head and stood up. “You know what, Aiden? It’s not my story to tell. If you want to know what happened, better ask Jessamine.”My heart hammered in my chest, terrified for the first time
Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 10 – Kids, We're Home
(Aiden’s POV)“You are really leaving me,” Jessamine murmured. Her shoulders slumped, and tears welled in her eyes as she found me sitting at the edge of her bed, ready to go.This was my desperate act of forcing her to tell me what had happened to her. I knew it was unfair to her, but I had to know. I wouldn’t take such measures, but it frightened me that Jessamine would never tell me.“I told you not to keep secrets from me, Jess.” I stood up, grabbing the handle of my luggage bag. “I’m your best friend, but -”“It happened two years ago,” she blurted out, her lips trembling, swallowing hard as she closed her eyes. She had not said anything except that, but her chest was rising and falling already.“Two years ago? What happened two years ago?” I almost smiled, thinking my tactic worked.“I… I met… I met this guy, Rick…” She was out of breath as she walked toward me, but she stopped a few steps away from me. “And… Umm…”She inhaled and puffed out the air slowly. She opened her mouth,
Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 11 – Rule Number Four
(Jessamine’s POV)I blinked, watching Aiden stand up immediately and grab the handle of his luggage again when my bedroom door opened, but I couldn’t say stay. I opened my mouth, but no words came out. My heart pounded hard, hurting my chest as I remembered his heavenly kiss.“Oh! So, you decided to leave,” Deborah muttered, glancing at me worriedly.“Umm…” Aiden sighed, looking at me.I crawled on all fours on my bed, reaching for his arm. “Don’t go, Aiden. I promise to behave. I’ll do whatever you say. Just don’t go, please.”I didn’t know why I had to beg him. Maybe what happened between us was my fault. I must have led Aiden into a situation that made him weak and forced him to kiss me… and touch me. A guy could be like that.Right?The memory of him touching me was still burning me up. As our eyes met, there was something in his eyes that, even if uttered, was incomprehensible to me. “Are you…” His Adam’s apple moved as he swallowed. “Are you sure?”I nodded many times. When I
Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 12 – She Kidnapped Charlie
(Jessamine’s POV)“You cried,” Aiden murmured regretfully when he saw my puffy eyes.“No, I didn’t,” I denied, closing the bathroom door. I walked to the dresser to get my purse, hoping to dab some face powder to hide my awful face. He sighed. “Coming here is a mistake -”“Stop it, Aiden.” I cut him, stopping and never reaching the dresser. I faced him to meet his eyes and ensure he was not making fun of me. “You did the right thing coming here because I finally realized this is much better than your snail mail idea. We’re not completely honest with each other.” He nodded. “I haven’t told you about Charlie yet.”Charlie?My eyebrows knitted, asking myself instead of him who the heck Charlie was. “How old is this Charlie?”“Two months.” When shock registered on my face, he walked toward me and grabbed my hand. “I… I can’t just leave Charlie alone. His mother died giving birth to -”“You have a son?” I blinked, brushing his hand off. I breathed out slowly, dawning with another realiz
Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 13 – Just Not Now
(Jessamine’s POV)Bethany must be crazy!I felt my heart squeeze tight, and my eyes and mouth gaped wide open, shocked at what she did. How could she drive her car, forgetting to give Charlie to his dad? Before I could stop myself, I shut my eyes and screamed at the top of my lungs, startling Aiden and causing Deborah and Xavier to run to the living room.“What happened?” Although the kitchen was not far from the living room, the horror and the shock from my scream made Deborah panic and panted from her short run.“She kidnapped Charlie,” I cried at Xavier, hoping he felt the urgency of the situation.“Huh? What?” Aiden panicked, turning to Xavier. “No,” he shook his head. “Bethany left Charlie on the porch before she left.”My eyes widened, panic-stricken. “What kind of woman is that? Leaving the baby on the porch?”“Baby? What baby?” Xavier asked, raising his eyebrows at Deborah, then at Aiden.“What baby?” Aiden asked the same question. “No.” He shook his head and crouched on his k
Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 14 – To Be Honest With Me
(Jessamine’s POV)My bedroom needs renovation.First, it was only Aiden, and now we had to share it with Charlie. My best friend placed the box and the puppy’s bag beside his luggage like they were ready to run together in case our friendship got murky again. Deborah tugged my best friend to join lunch, and in my case, after everything that happened earlier, I got emotionally tired that I only wanted to curl up in bed. Sleep was my therapy because it allowed me to detach my exhausted self from reality. Unless, of course, a nightmare joined me in my dream, like what happened last night.After our short talk, Aiden and I were okay again, but something inside me terrified me. Every time I remembered Bethany kissing him, jealousy was eating my heart. I imagined myself pulling her hair and dragging her out of the porch just for her to stay away from Aiden. But that would be weird.As I cast my mind back to the searing kiss we shared, my body could not stop feeling wild… and hopeful. It te
Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 15 – Never Level Up
(Jessamine’s POV)The plan was to wait in the living room, but Deborah and Xavier were in their usual seat, looking at a brochure that came along with her mails. They must be considering going on another vacation or workcation since Deborah worked from home half the month and the other half she reported to the office. They raised their heads when they saw me exit my bedroom.“I’ll be in the park,” I muttered lazily, forcing a smile as I motioned my hand that I was going outside.Not waiting for them to answer, I headed to my destination. It was not a park but a garden near the parking space in the apartment. Holly and her husband were nice to set it up with a swing, slides, and monkey bars for tenants with kids. I settled on the wooden bench to hide from the sun. The conical shapes of the Green Giant trees behind the bench blocked the heat and brought great shade to the bench.I smiled, thinking of bringing Charlie here later. He would surely love this place.“Something bothering yo
