Married in the Shadow of My Best Friend のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 111 - チャプター 120

Sebastian’s POV “ You should be fine now,” I said placing the last bandaid on her knee cap. I took off the disposable gloves, sanitized my hand before putting on my regular black gloves. “ T-thank you,” she stuttered. “ Welcome,” I said taking a bottle of alcoholic wine and turning into both glasses. “ You're really a germophobe,” I heard her mutter. “ Yes, I am but it's gotten a lot better now. You could say I'm getting more used to touching things,” I expressed. she gave me a puzzled look. “ That's good to know,” she smiled. “ Here, let's drink,” I handed her a wine glass and we began drinking. It was oddly quiet with both of us just drinking and unable to make the first move. “ I know I'm not in the position to pry but I'm a bit curious as to why you're here drinking when you're in a relationship,” she avoided my eyes as she spoke. “ Did anyone ever say one couldn't drink if he or she was in a relationship?” I chuckled, it was genuinely amusing.

*** Nighttime, Bourne Groups ***Cora's POV~The creaking sound of the booth door pervaded the silence of the ladies room as I gently pushed the door open, taking a peek. As expected, it was empty, afterall, who would be here by this time anyway? (other than the janitor maybe). I snuck out of the ladies room and walked over to the CEO's floor, which apparently was the top floor. I was exhausted from climbing up the unimaginable flight of stairs that led up there"Oh man, hwweewww!" I exhaled from my mouth as I crouched with my hands on my knees, "God, I hate stairs!" I cussed. I finally appreciated elevators. Anyway, getting up there, it was pitch black so much so that all my eyes could see was eigengrau. I buried my hand into my back pocket and brought out my smartphone. Then I turned on the flashlight and looked around, you know? in case of any security guards. "Coast is clear" I muttered and walked straight over to Kasper's office door. I had been pretty mad at Kasper since the i

Lucas's POV~"What am I supposed to say?" I racked my head for ideas. The car was hella silent as we drove around, getting a view of the city's night scenary. It was awkward. I had literally gotten into a fight back at the club and we were kicked out along with the other asshole. I took occasional glances at Cora, who by the way looked rather depressed. "Still don't wanna talk about it? I can tell something's bugging you" I said as my eyes faced the road ahead. She didn't give any response and just kept looking out the window. Why was she making this difficult? Here I was trying to have a conversation and it's almost like she's not even here. "You know, talking about it might help relieve you of some stress, if you know what I mean" I added with a shrug as I took a turn. "Look Lucas, I get that you're worried but I'm okay." She suddenly responded calmly. "Besides, I forgot to thank you for what happened back at the club." She added."Oh that? That's nothing. I could never let a guy

Lucas' POV It was unlike her to visit me without a basic reason. It couldn't be because of benefits, could it? We hadn't had sex in a while and neither has we discussed why we hadn't. Maybe it will make things less awkward for us if we just didn't say anything about it. “ Are you going to keep staring at me like I'm some sorta ghost?” She sighed as she sat down with caution on my couch. She was dripping wet and she probably was doing her best not to entirely ruin my furniture even though I couldn't really tell if this was helping. “ Sorry, I'm just wondering. I mean, it's not like you to barge in here and wet for that matter,” I pointed out. “ Something came up and I just had to leave home,” she shivered. “ You should probably take off your clothes and have a hot bath. I don't have female clothes here but you can manage my shirt, it's big enough for you,” I offered. “ Thank you,” “ Come on, hurry up into the bathroom while I make us both some hot chocolate,”

Cora's POV “ So is that how you both became friends?” Lucas asked. “ We could say that was the beginning of our friendship. She was a bit like bubble gum stuck in one's hair and I somehow became fond of her,” I shrugged and chuckled thinking back at how nice Lily was to me which made me realize even more how ungrateful I was to her. “ She must have been really nice,” Lucas remarked. “ More than you can imagine really. I remember how she would always attack everyone that said anything against me after we started hanging out. You know, Lily was really what I'll call a people's person,” I narrated. “ Her association with me sorta affected her social life as everyone always wondered why she was with me and not them, some thought she pitied me because I was lonely, others thought that she was too nice for her own good and maybe they weren't all that wrong because as much as I hate to admit it, I didn't like being alone but I couldn't bring myself to accept that I didn't,” I
