All Chapters of My Best Friend's Son: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Olivia“Well, I tried that route,” I added quickly.“Oooo, did you?” Ashley leaned in for the details. “How was it?”“Uh I’m sure Mrs. Olivia doesn’t want to,” Tony started. “It was amazing,” I exhaled and closed my eyes. “It felt like a brand new awakening,”“Really?” She smiled. Tony smirked knowing he was the reason I felt the way I did. “Really?” He chimed in as well. “Yes.” I smiled at him and then glanced at Ashley. “He was like a breath of fresh air. He made me feel alive,”“Are you still seeing him?” Ashley wondered. Tony looked at me to hear my answer. “Unfortunately, no.” I looked away and took another sip of wine. A big sip. “Oh well that’s no fun, what happened?” “He wanted a relationship,” I uttered. Tony stared at me from across the table. His eyes were locked on me. “And? You didn’t?” Ashley was like a fucking therapist that I didn’t pay for or agreed to see. Tony was drinking it all in. It was at that point, I didn’t give two fuck about it anymore. I was mise

TonyNo matter how much I would like to think I came from a normal family, my mom was in no way shape or form, normal. After the charity event, I went back to working for the service and for our business. Things slowed down because of the change in seasons. We had to move our stock around to accommodate winter sports which is a bit difficult in Chicago. Yes, there’s snow but no mountains to ski down therefore a lot of our product needed to be available online. Matt and I decided to shut down the shop during the winter season in hopes of opening it up in a different location to cover the overhead costs of running a store. We had a short term lease anyway so we would be flexible to move around. Matt wanted to open up a place in Colorado, which did seem like the best place to have a pop up store due to the fact that we may sell more products during the winter season. My mother would always have a huge party for her birthday. November was the month my mother would be in full swing. She

TonyOlivia was still feeling insecure about being with me. I could tell by the way she practically avoided me during my mother’s birthday party. We had a moment in the kitchen and had, what I thought was a good start to us possibly getting back together, but she avoided the subject. I admitted, unwillingly, that I had an intimate contract with Ashley. I didn’t want to tell her but I also didn’t want to lie to her about anything if we were going to start anew. I would see her smiling as she spoke to others while I stood off to the side watching her from a distance. She looked happy and content holding everything together. I wasn’t sure if she wanted to try again but I felt it. She’d told me she missed me in the kitchen, even though it didn’t mean she wanted me back, it had to count for something. She was afraid of being hurt, and her pushing me away was her defensive mechanism. I wanted her back so much it ached in my soul. I had finally gotten a moment, when she wasn’t surrounded

OliviaWell I can say for certain, I didn’t think Sharon’s birthday party would end up like it did. I’m sure Sharon didn’t expect it either. Regardless, all of the shit that has hit the fan at least all of the secrets were out. I don’t know how Tony found out about Sharon and Matt. I was actually headed out of the door because I wanted Tony more than ever and I couldn’t stand being around him in the same place pretending, while Sharon was being open with her relationship with Matt. Laying next to Tony felt surreal as I thought this moment would never come again. But yet it happened. When I’d left Sharon’s party with him chasing after me, it felt like a fairytale. I knew for sure Robert would have never chased after me. Tony not only confessed his feelings to me, but to the entire world and his Mother! I couldn’t even begin to think what she would say to me or how our next conversation would go. Tony rolled over towards me, crossing his leg over mine, giving me some sort of bear h

TonyOlivia and I flew out to Colorado early the next morning and didn’t think to tell anyone goodbye. We figured they would understand and the occasional email from myself to Matt would have to suffice. We are cordial while communicating via email or phone with each other. We didn’t talk about anything personal, we always kept it strictly business. However, there were a few times in which we had some uncomfortable silences while on the phone. My mother sent me a Christmas gift because I hadn’t planned on going back until Spring. We hadn’t spoken to each other either, and the strain was felt on both sides. I sent her a Christmas gift as well. She sent me a card simply saying, I love you. Love, Your Mother. I wanted to show up at the house with Olivia and let us all hash it out in one full swoop, but I didn’t want to rush anything. Olivia extended her leave for an extra 30 days. She got a chance to see the ins and outs of the business and helped me streamline the orders as well as h
