Gifting Me To His Best Friend 소설 & 이야기

“No, thanks. You told me you had never been gifted on your birthday besides your mom. This is pity, not friendliness. You broke my heart, Max. We can’t be friends.” He shut the door and left with his friends. Tears stung my eyes. Pity. I’m just going to give the gift back on Monday.

“Fitch—” “Friends give each other small gifts. That’s normal, isn’t it?” He looked innocent enough, but something very different flickered in his eyes. I knew it then—this friendship journeywas going to be a long one. I nodded. He wasn’t wrong. Friends did exchange little tokens of affection, and chocolate—well, I simply couldn’t refuse something that sweet. The bastard knew my weakness and exploited it shamelessly.

“Shut up, Jack. Besties deserve extra special treatment.” Amber smiled, grateful for her friends. “You guys are the best. No one gets me like you do, Mel,” she beamed at Jack, showing him the purple sneakers he gave her a gift. “And here I am flaunting the gift Jack gave me. I’m so happy to have such amazing people in my life.” she hugged Jack, who hugged her back. Melissa grinned mischievously. “That’s what besties are for!” Amber’s eyes watered. “Do I really deserve all this love?”

he muttered as he handed the bag to me. I was bowling my eyes out at this point, I was over joyed that my friends at work were gifting me , yet I was sad to have to leave such nice people behind. I took the gift, and opened it, a journal lay inside, I gasped, I’d always wanted one. “Oh my God, thank you, i love it,” i said. “Your welcome, if you weren’t in such a hurry, we would have thrown you a party,” he muttered teasingly .

~Astrid~ I’d gotten a gift for him, but somehow I was scared to give it to him. Not scared particularly, but well, I thought it would be odd especially when our relationship wasn’t as defined. But now? Hell yeah. “Can you give a hint? I hate surprises,” he muttered, and I chuckled as he unlocked the door, pushing it open for me to walk in. “Trust me. It’s nothing that would kill you or give you a heart attack of some sort,” I muttered, but he only gave a small groan. The man was impatient, that much was obvious.

We could decide on a gift, but we couldn’t give it to her today. I felt guilty. Liam had tried to organize a gift for her but I’d ignored him. I felt like I’d let my friend down. It would have been really special to present her with a beautiful joint gift from Liam and I – ON her wedding day. But now we couldn’t do that. Hazel deserved a nice gift. The BEST gift! She was my closest friend, my sister by choice. I was a shitty friend. “Don’t feel bad,” Liam said. “I didn’t come here empty handed. I have something I think she might like,” Liam said, a mischievous glint in his eye.

I stared at the screen not paying it much attention. Instead, my mind was hyper-focused on what had just happened. Was I reading into this too much? Probably. Zack was a very loyal guy so it was probably just a friendly peck on the head. Yeah, that's what it was, a friendly kiss on the head given to me by my best and only friend. My best friend, damn my life. You can say that again.

"I had it all fixed up for you while you were sick, just so you'd be comfortable." I spun around to face him. "Scott, this is a whole lot of money. I don't have this kind of cash to pay you back." He smiled, dropping one of my duffels onto the fresh mattress. "You don't need to, Gabe. Let's just say... I want my cousin's ex to be happy." My stomach dropped, a flash of irritation breaking through my shock. "I am not your cousin's ex," I snapped. He raised his hands in mock surrender. "Alright, I'm sorry. A gift from a friend to a friend, then."

Then he stepped back, running a hand over his face. I knew, even in my haze, what this meant for him. Dante’s best friend. The family’s most trusted enforcer. Touching the boss’s little sister in a club booth, making her scream his name, carrying her home like a secret lover. In our world, that was betrayal. A death sentence if anyone found out. The room went quiet except for my slow breathing. The alcohol and adrenaline had finally won. I slipped into deep sleep. The taste of him and the feel of his fingers still lingering on my skin.
