IN LOVE WITH MY LOVER'S BEST FRIEND The Kiss
CHAPTER FORTY-THREEDaniel had promised himself he would have a good weekend.He had spent the previous few days trying to establish a routine that didn't revolve around Maya or the life she was building with Adrian. He went to the gym, met a few friends, and even accepted an invitation to a birthday dinner.It wasn't that he had stopped thinking about her. That would have been a lie.But he was tired of waking up every morning with the same disappointment, tired of wondering what Maya was doing and whether she was happy with the man who had become her husband.He wanted to feel like his life belonged to him again.Unfortunately, Saturday evening had other plans.“Daniel!”He turned at the sound of Adrian's voice.Adrian was standing near the entrance of the restaurant, one hand in his pocket and a smile on his face. Maya stood beside him, looking beautiful in a simple black dress.Daniel's smile appeared automatically, but it weakened when his eyes settled on her.“Hey, bro.”Adrian
IN LOVE WITH MY LOVER'S BEST FRIEND The First Real Argument
CHAPTER FORTY-ONEMaya had always believed that happiness would feel peaceful.She had imagined that once she finally admitted her feelings for Adrian, once she stopped fighting the love growing between them, everything would fall into place. There would still be difficult days, perhaps, but the uncertainty would disappear.She was beginning to understand that love did not work that way.Sometimes, even when two people wanted the same thing, they could still hurt each other.It started with a phone call.Maya was in the kitchen preparing breakfast when Adrian's phone began ringing on the counter. He was upstairs getting ready for work, and she glanced at the screen.Daniel.She smiled faintly and picked up the phone.“Hello?”There was a brief silence.“Maya?”“Hi, Daniel.”“Is Adrian around?”“He's upstairs. Do you want me to get him?”“No, it's fine. I'll call him later.”She was about to end the call when Daniel spoke again.“How are you?”Maya paused.“I'm fine. How are you?”“I'm
IN LOVE WITH MY LOVER'S BEST FRIEND The Dinner
CHAPTER FORTY ONEMaya stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the neckline of her dress for the third time.Behind her, Adrian watched with an amused expression.“You look beautiful.”She glanced at him through the mirror. “You've said that already.”“And I'll say it again if you keep asking.”“I'm not asking.”“Then why have you been checking that dress for the last ten minutes?”Maya turned around, giving him a playful glare.“Because we're having dinner with your grandfather, and I want to make a good impression.”Adrian walked toward her and placed his hands on her waist.“You've already made an impression. My grandfather likes you.”“He barely knows me.”“He knows enough.”Maya raised an eyebrow. “And what exactly have you told him?”“That you're stubborn.”“Adrian!”“And beautiful. And that you somehow managed to turn my entire life upside down.”She tried to look offended, but his smile made it impossible.“Let's go before you say something else.”He kissed her cheek and reach
IN LOVE WITH MY LOVER'S BEST FRIEND The Day He saw her Happy
CHAPTER FORTY Daniel had promised himself he would stop looking for Maya in every place he went. He had promised himself he would stop checking his phone whenever Adrian's name appeared, stop wondering whether they were together, and stop imagining what their life looked like behind the closed doors of the house they shared. He had made all those promises on a Monday morning. By Wednesday afternoon, he had broken nearly every one of them. He wasn't proud of it. He simply hadn't figured out how to stop caring about someone who had occupied so much of his life for so long. That afternoon, he was leaving a restaurant after a business lunch when he saw them. Maya and Adrian stood near the entrance of a small boutique across the street. Adrian was holding several shopping bags, while Maya stood in front of him, laughing at something he had said. She reached up to straighten his collar, and he caught her hand before she could pull away. Then he kissed her fingers. It was such a sim
IN LOVE WITH MY LOVER'S BEST FRIEND The Thing A Husband Wants
CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE Maya had never seen Adrian so nervous about a dinner date. He had checked his watch three times in the space of five minutes, asked the waiter to change their table twice, and spent the entire drive to the restaurant pretending he had not spent nearly an hour deciding what she should wear. She watched him across the table, trying not to laugh. “Are you sure you're feeling well?” Adrian looked up from the menu. “Why wouldn't I be?” “You've been acting strangely all evening.” “I'm taking my wife out to dinner. I'm allowed to act however I want.” “Of course.” Maya rested her chin on her hand. “But if you keep looking at the door like you're expecting someone to burst in, I'm going to start worrying.” He set the menu down. Then he reached across the table and took her hand. “I wanted tonight to be special.” Maya's smile softened. “It already is.” “Let me finish.” She pressed her lips together, trying to look serious. Adrian shook his head affectionately.
IN LOVE WITH MY LOVER'S BEST FRIEND The Night He Couldn't Pretend
CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHT Maya had never been particularly good at drinking.She could manage a glass of wine at a family dinner, perhaps two if the evening was pleasant, but anything beyond that left her cheeks warm and her thoughts dangerously honest. Adrian knew this, which was why he had given her a suspicious look when she announced that she wanted to celebrate their first month together without another argument about Daniel.“Celebrate what exactly?” he had asked.“Us.”Adrian had smiled. “I like the sound of that.”Now, several hours later, Maya was sitting beside him on their bedroom floor, laughing at a story he had told her about his disastrous attempt to cook dinner during university.“You're lying,” she accused, pointing at him with her glass.“I'm telling the truth.”“You expect me to believe that you set water on fire?”“I was distracted.”“By what?”He leaned closer, lowering his voice. “A beautiful woman.”Maya narrowed her eyes. “You were already in love with me before yo
