Dads Friend Novels & Stories

"You're always the last one up, Maya." ‎"I was just exhausted," I said softly, my eyes briefly meeting Charles's as he took a slow sip from his mug."Well, I have to head out first thing tomorrow morning," my dad said, a gentle, wistful smile on his face. "My flight to Country K leaves early. It's a high-stakes investment deal, so I need to be there in person." "Don't worry about a thing, Arthur," Christie chimed in cheerfully, bumping her shoulder against mine. "I'll take care of Maya. Even if she acts like my little sister."

“His name is Damien Voss, and he was hired to do the job but I can't seem to find out who hired him. For a moment, neither of us spoke. The air between us crackled, grief, suspicion, memory, all tangled up like old threads. Finally, I said, “You think he’s behind everything?” “I don’t think,” Aiden said quietly. “I know.” Something about the certainty in his tone made my skin crawl. “And what's the connection b;tween Barry, my Dad, and your Dad?” I asked. “Your dad and my dad were best friends and business partners. They started a company together, AP INDUSTRIES (Adam and Parker). My Dad was already married to my Mom, while your Dad and Mom were still dating.”

“We were best friends in college. Your father and I shared a lot back then. I remember he often told me about you…that he had a smart daughter—even smarter than him, he said, and he was sure you would succeed in the future. He’s a proud Dad, I almost went deaf from all his stories about you. Although, I didn’t get the chance to meet you while your father was still alive. And it’s sad knowing that I met you now but your father is no longer here.” I didn’t know what to say. Hearing how important I was to Dad felt like someone was caressing my heart. Because when he was still alive, he had been too busy working and I could barely spend time with him. I shook my head. My head was already hurting

I explained. “ Princess, after what you told me it doesn’t sound like he is just a friend.” dad said. “ Well, he is my best friend. But seriously. I’m probably overthinking everything. You know me. I’m sure he will be back to screwing skanks and partying every night in no time.” I told my dad. Although I’m not sure who I’m trying to convince. “ If you say so.” dad said. I could tell by his voice he doesn’t believe me. If I didn’t know Goof so well, I would believe me either.

The stranger had noticed my embarrassing secret. But that slight bit of embarrassment within me completely disappeared when the man pinched me a few times. My body was burning, and I could not care less. I started shaking my hips even more. Then, I thought of something else. Why was the man’s voice so familiar? In the next moment, I turned around to look. I was stunned. That was Frank Zelhar, my best friend’s father, and an instructor at the driving school! Ivan, Lily Zelhar, my best friend, and I were on our way to learn how to drive from Frank. We had ended up in the same metro!

Who on earth was this friend? "Mom." I kept my voice calm. "Who is this friend?" "I don't remember his name." She frowned. "I don't think he told me, but he was so kind. All he did was ask all about you, when you were little." None of those words made me feel at ease. Who was this person? It wasn't Theodore. Theodore wouldn't meet with my mother behind my back. Was it a reporter? "What did they look like?" "He's tall and handsome," She wiggled her brows at me. "He had some tattoos here." She tapped her knuckles.

“It’s not every day the CEO of one of the richest companies in the world comes dashing in to kick his manager in the face for his employee. You can be frank with us. Is he an uncle, godfather… lover?” She raised her eyebrow and smiled mischievously. My gut churned and I could feel my waning. This was not good. “He is none of those things. He is just my best friend’s father. That’s all.” The table was silent as if they were all weighing my answer. That was partly the truth. Fuck! I was breaking a sweat. “That cuts out,” Gina said with a shrug. “He is super protective over Bridget. I wouldn’t be surprised that he would treat her friend the same way. He is definitely a girl-dad.”

Elana. “Have you gone mad?” Father asked in irritation at my reaction to the introduction of his special guest. I closed my gaped mouth and stared in disbelief at the man who sat across from my father. Alex. Alex is my father’s best friend. So he knew who my father was and he denied knowing him. He knew what could happen and yet had the guts to show up at my house to stay? I didn’t even know whether to be angry at the petty man or scared. Who knows how long he’ll stay?

“We haven't even had the babies yet and you're already arguing about toys.” “They'll need options.” “They won't know what options are.” “They'll learn.” He shakes his head, smiling. The house feels different now and even with how the men treat me. The way they both look up whenever I enter a room. The way someone notices when I've been standing too long. The way concern has slowly stopped feeling like fear and started feeling like care. At night, we often end up together in bed, talking long after we should be asleep. Sometimes nobody says much at all. Sometimes one of them rests a hand over my stomach and we simply lie there.
