Dating A Friend's Ex Novels & Stories

I swipe my screen to ignore the message because I figure he planned to send it to someone else instead of me – his ex – and it might end up being a pathetic and desperate move on my part if I shoot a reply only to find out it was a mistake on his part. Do I even classify as his ex? We dated for less than a week, I’m sure the term ‘ex’ requires a longer time frame than that. Dropping my phone on its spot on the couch I go back to binge watching my favorite show – F.R.I.E.N.D.S. with a bowl of popcorn by my side. I was finally able to force Melody and Amy out of the apartment so I can sulk in peace and for extra measure, I archived both their numbers so I wouldn’t get a text or call from neith

It felt stung to utter it. “What?!” Vanessa raised her voice as she was about to face me, but I just tightened my arms around her. “Oh God, Sam… Don’t you even let me see that bastard without preparing his burial!” She was mad, mad. This is Vanessa, my friend from freshman college, the only person who can express my rage. “That guy has never been good to you at all, Sam! God, you don’t know how happy I am that you finally ended it with him!” Vanessa exclaimed, making me raise my head and looked at her with a sour face.

I whispered back smirking to myself as she rolled her eyes at my little nickname, Tonight is going to be fun. I moved my attention back to the crowd watching as they all took their fill of the scene in front of them. I wouldn't blame them though, The last time I came for the annual charity gala with a woman was four years ago when Izzy begged so much that she wanted to be my date for the night and well let's just say it was eventful. She couldn't even put herself together for one night and she was caught by a blogger with one of my guests, it was a huge mess to clean up. The tabloids wrote about it for weeks, I forgave her for it but I never took her anywhere as my date again since she could

I can't go to work today since I've promised Aaron to visit him for his 21st birthday. "Tricia, you're dressed up," Cindy said. "You look gorgeous in that red dress you are wearing. Where are you going, by the way? To a party? Who are you dating?" "No, I'm not going to a party or date someone. It's my friend's birthday, so I'm going to his place," I said. "A friend? Really?" Cindy asked in a dubious tone. "The truth is, he's my ex," I admitted. "An ex? Isn't that bad? You're going to your ex's place for his birthday alone? What if he does something to you?" Cindy asked.

"And who are you going out with?" "Jade!" "Felicia's ex-boyfriend?" "Yes." "Why?" "I don't know, he just asked to see me." "Um... should I be worried? You know, dating your friend's ex never ends well..." "There's nothing between us. He said we're just going for a drink, that's all." "Okay then," she said, closing the door. Once ready, she left the house and went to wait for Jade outside a café. "He's late too", Looking at her watch

His words grate my nerves, because it wasn’t even supposed to be an excuse. “So, we all should act on impulse?” I question, and he goes silent for a second. “I thought as much. If I were the one who acted out on impulse, then I wouldn’t have heard the last of it. But you can do that and no one should give two fucks about what you did.” “That’s not what I’m saying, Kookie. I’m not trying to be right, or trying to make you wrong, I just… miss you.” I scoff at his words, shaking my head at the thought that he thinks I’ll fall for his cheap tricks again. This is why you should never date your friends, because it never really ends well. Then you realize how they will actually treat someone they c

I'm too embarrassed to even reach out to Liam to find out. I don't want my friend to know that the date I spent so long planning has fallen apart before it's even had a chance to get off the ground, although he probably knows already. This is why I shouldn't get close to anyone in my friendship group; dating can get real complicated, real fast.

I close my eyes and let the feeling of her comforting me wash over me. “Everything is not okay. I recently found out that my former best friend has been dating my now ex boyfriend for most of our relationship. I’m in love with a boy that is so wrong for me in so many. He is going through so much and he doesn’t have time to deal with my messed up life.” I say and she looks at me, thoughtful.

I gave a sarcastic laugh. “Exactly. He is your ex-boyfriend; you’re not together anymore,” she defended herself. “Still, that doesn’t give you two the right to be together. That’s cheating,” I pointed out. “Don’t overdo it, Annie,” Caleb rolled his eyes. “Overdo it? Do you think I'm exaggerating? You two definitely shouldn't be dating, okay? This is the truth!” I looked at Abby. “C’mon, Abbie, did you really do this to me? Are you really going to leave your best friend for a boy?”
