Novel & Cerita Friendship V

always acting thoughtlessly before considering the other person’s feelings. “He’s just a friend,” is the reply I give to his question, probably unconvincingly. Well, it’s not completely a lie. We are friends; it's not like he's my boyfriend or anything. Before I know it, we’re already at the top of the third flight of stairs. The night we had felt like a mediocre date, ending in the guy walking me to my door with hopes of coming inside. The sexual attraction certainly was there, although mentally it felt like we were not on the same page. Suddenly I feel nervous.

Soon after, they both laugh as if there is nothing funny. "So... That's what happened." "Yeah... So? Are you still mad at me? You are the first to know that I gain my memories back..." "No. I'm not mad but still... I'm upset." Friendship have many form. Some are those who are just for the mean time. Some, last longer for a life time. Some needs time together for them to be build but for some, even time can’t goes between their friendship. *** "That girl... I like her."

Spencer replied. "I don't have much friends, hopefully this is one alliance I won't regret." "Well then first lesson as your friend. Alfredo friendships ain't alliances, Alliances are formed because both parties may benefit but friendships are formed out of genuine love and care for the other person even if it is not mutual." Spencer said giving him a genuine smile.

"You are my friend, Xavier. I'll always have your back." A friend? Did she consider him a friend? No one had ever said that to him and meant it. True, Xavier had many alliances, pack he was honored to fight with, but he never called them friends. At first he wanted to say that it was not friendship he wanted from her, but then Xavier paused for a moment, remembering what she had said in the past some time ago. "Love is unconditional acceptance. It is when you want to be close to another person, both sexually and platonically, both as friends and as lovers."

“And when we found you, I’d probably drag you home while you complained the entire way.” A reluctant smile appeared on Noxaris’s face. “That sounds exactly like something you would do.” “It is.” The black eye watched them in silence. “What is friendship?” it finally asked. The question caught everyone off guard. Verath folded his arms and considered it. “It’s difficult to explain.” “Try.” He looked at Elara and Noxaris before answering. “It’s knowing that your life would feel smaller without certain people in it.” Elara smiled. “It’s trusting someone enough to let them see your fears.”

Hercules said. " Then who is she?? And why were you doing hanky panky with her ??? " Avni asked with discomfort. " Hanky panky!! Really!! You are such a kid, by the way, she is not my girlfriend you can call her my fuck buddy " Hercules laughed. " Whatever it is!! It's immoral doing these gross stuff before marriage " Avni said. " Oh come on!! It's common nowadays, I and Mia are friends with benefits. Nothing more than this " Hercules said calmly.

"We were roommates. Business partners. We—" "We were nothing. We were never friends." I step closer. Make him look at me. "Friends don't destroy each other's companies out of jealousy. Friends don't sabotage each other's lives because they can't stand competition. You were never my friend, Julian. You were an obstacle I had to route around." He flinches. "That's not—" "It is. You want to know what friendship means? It means loyalty. Trust. Not stabbing someone in the back the second they threaten your ego." I glance across the room at Esmeralda. She's watching us. "But you wouldn't know anything about that, would you?"

“Leonie is just a friend and she will always be my friend unless she says otherwise.” “Otherwise?” Was he talking about relationships here? “Like unfriend me to become my enemy,” he answered casually. “Is there another antonym for friendship?” Again, I could see that he was telling the truth. But why is it so hard for me to accept it? “So you are not expecting more than friendship?” I pressed. “More, as what? A family member? Or a cousin?” “As a girlfriend.” He frowned slightly. “No.” The answer was immediate. Too immediate.

"I told them what their friendship means to me. How lonely I was before. How I thought alphas couldn't have friends. And they just... they understood." His eyes were bright again. Happy-crying bright, not sad-crying bright. "Marcus said friendship doesn't make you weak. It makes you stronger because you're not carrying everything alone." Christian pulled me closer. "Connor said they're lucky to have me as a friend too. Not as their alpha. As their friend." "They're right." Christian kissed my forehead, my cheeks, my lips. "Thank you." "For what?" "For pushing me to do this. For seeing what I needed before I knew I needed it. For—"

She was silent for a brief moment before she spoke again “What does that have to do with anything?” “I stayed with you all night, made sure you got to the hospital, called your parents, and held your hair while you threw up.” I turn to face her. “I did that because I thought friendship meant protecting people you care about.” “Emery—” “You taught me I was wrong.” I move back to my desk, but don't sit. “Friendship isn't about protection. It's about choosing sides.” Harper's face went pale. “I chose survival.” “You chose money. There's a difference.”
