Alle Kapitel von My Bestfriend’s Father: Kapitel 101 – Kapitel 110

BritneyI walk up the stairs leading to Andre's building, suddenly confused as to which direction to head in.I've never been to his apartment here in New York before so I'm a bit confused.The guards stationed at the entrance must have seen me walk in because they simply bowed their heads at me in respect before moving aside to let me pass through.Due to my state of mind, I wasn't paying much attention to the route the driver took, but the moment I stepped past the doors, I instantly knew I was in the Upper East Side of Manhattan.The decor was outstanding with golden chandeliers hanging in the middle of the lobby, expensive artwork, and tasteful yet expensive furniture stationed at specific spots meant to catch one's eye.Having worked with Brian for several years, I'm no stranger to expensive or luxury lifestyles, but even this was way bigger than anything I've ever seen.Confused on which way to go,.I stood in the middle of the lobby, feeling like a fish out of water.Thankfully,

BrittneyI didn't even realise I was crying until I caught a glimpse of my reflection in the rearview mirror.The driver was very polite too, giving me the space I needed to compose my thoughts.After driving around the block in circles, the man finally asked, glancing over at me. “Ma'am, do you want me to keep driving around or do you have a destination in mind?”I did but first I had to send a text ahead, stating that I've changed my mind. “Yeah, I know where I'm going to.” I cleared my throat once I noticed my voice sounded rough. “Take me to the Upper East Side.”The driver's eyebrow inched up slightly probably trying to make the connection, giving the location that he picked me up from.Thankfully, he didn't ask any questions, simply turning the car around at the next intersection to change lanes.Pulling out my phone from my pants pocket, I sent out a quick text to Andre.Me: You were right. Staying at your place is much better. Can I head back?His response was immediate.Andre

AndreI heard the crash.It came from outside the door, alerting me to the fact that someone was listening to my conversation.I immediately slam the phone down, jumping out from behind my desk to check.Just like I thought there were pieces of broken glass everywhere, with a wide wet stain in the middle of the hallway.I immediately checked the kitchen, spotting Brittney scrubbing down a sink.I hovered by the doorway, searching for the words to bring up a conversation.It's not like I can just ask if she was eavesdropping on my conversation or overheard any of what I said.“Hey,” I say softly to catch her attention.“Andre!” she turns to me with a bright smile, her hands filled with soap suds. “Where did you disappear to?”“My office,” I tell her watching her face carefully for any sign of anxiety. “I just had a couple of outstanding business items to settle.”“Oh,” her face fell. “Uh, about earlier…. I've been meaning to talk to you.”“No, it's fine. I get what you meant.” I shove

BrittneyOn my way to my room, I decided to take a detour to his office.Was it foolish and unwise?Hell, yeah!But I was emotionally shaken up about what almost happened, so right now, I'm not thinking clearly.Luckily, the door to his office was unlocked but as my hand closed over it, I realised that I shouldn't.At least, not right now.Andre could be rounding the corner at any moment and I wasn't in the mood to talk to him.We even see him…not right now, when my emotions are fragile and I can't be held accountable for my actions.I let go of the handle, spinning around to walk back down the direction I came in, stopping so I could move over to my room.That night, I could barely sleep a wink, tossing and turning on the bed.It didn't help that the weather was chilly and despite the heat blazing from the vents, I wouldn't have minded being here with someone.Shutting off my thoughts, I plugged in a podcast and managed to sleep off after an hour, only to wake up pretty late by past

BrittneyJackson took my words quite literally.He kept driving until I no longer saw skyscrapers and busy streets, moving down into the countryside.Immediately he left I could instantly feel myself growing calmer and more relaxed.As I stared at the vast land in front of me, I wished I didn't have to go back.Honestly, if I had Samantha with me, I would have left and never looked back.I let Jackson keep driving until I glanced at the time on my phone and realised that an hour had crawled by.Soon enough, Samantha would be home and I don't want her to be alone with Andre.Not until I find out what he's been doing behind my back.“Jackson, I think that's enough.” I leaned forward to say to him. “You can turn back now.”The car rolled to a stop almost immediately, Jackson turning the car around.I kept exchanging emails with Katrina throughout the car ride, but somewhere in the midst of that, I looked up and noticed that Jackson had stepped on the accelerator, and the car was inching
