My Dad's Best Friend Novels & Stories

“Keep your phone near you at all times and I want you to check in with me every few hours. If I lost you too, I’d…” I wrap my arms around his waist and kiss his cheek. “I know, Dad. I miss Mom too, but she’s not coming back. I promise to check in and give my old man a little peace. I love you, Dad.” He didn’t look convinced of my story but let me go anyway. It wasn’t a complete lie. I was going to see an old friend I connected with. However, my father had no idea it was his best friend that I was going to be with.

"I want to know, Gerrard. I want to know what the hell these parasites are doing in your house." He lets out a laugh, but it's so bitter that I feel the pain he's going through. But when I still don't let go, he relents. "Smith was my late father's best friend... his best man at my parent's wedding... his go to. I feel sorry to say that when we were kids, I actually liked the man." Running a hand down his face, he gets up from the bed. But I don't. I want to give him the space and patience he needs to recount this to me.

Dad said and stood up. " What? I don't even know him. He doesn't even smile." " Aiden is a close friend." I sighed and rolled my eyes. " Just don't fall in love with him." Dad whispered and winked. So what is that supposed to mean?

"You two know each other?" I fumble for words. "He's Emily's dad. My best friend's father. Just... family friend. That's all." The lie tastes sour on my tongue. Ethan gives a small nod, his eyes moving between us like he's piecing something together. "Right. Emily's dad." Damien gives him a thin smile, "Leah's known me a long time.”

"Tessa, meet my dad, Julian Anderson, and dad, meet Tessa, the best friend I wouldn't stop blabbering about." She smiled, gesturing between her best friend and her father. Her dad? Tessa's brows pulled together in confusion. A million questions swarmed her thoughts. There was no way this Greek god in front of her was Maribel's father. No way. She was still wallowing in doubt when the myth about him struck her, and she instantly believed it.

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!

My Dad explained his fearful mood that had darkened his thoughts. “Dad! Knock off with that bullshit, right now! Ever since Mom left, you’ve always made sure I was warm at night, clothed in the day, and had food in my tummy. I’ve never wanted anything, and I love you for that. And since you’ve lightened up over the last three years, you’ve always been there when I needed to talk. Always! I guess I'm hanging around here because you’re my best friend. Okay?”

"Please, Mum, help me explain that I've accepted his offer. You've already told me he's not the reason why you don't want to look for my dad. Please, help me." "Okay, I'll get back to you later and let you know his reaction." "Okay, Mum. I missed you." "I missed you too, my darling. But your friend Ava has been taking up most of your time." I laughed at her comment, only if she had known that it was my best friend's dad that was taking my precious. ************ Author's pov

He said yes without any hesitation. Daniel has been my dad's closest friend for as long as I can remember. He practically helped raise me. I have so many memories of him from when I was small. He was always there, always looking out for me, always ready to help with anything I needed. He was the best person I knew.

my voice came out nervously, and I prayed she wouldn't notice the lies in my voice. "Come on, Scarlett. Don't make it look like a big deal. If my dad had such a hot man as a friend, I wouldn't mind going over to stay with him for some time whenever my parents travel..." she paused and rolled her eyes before she continued. "Sadly, my dad gathered a bunch of obesed men for friends. The sight of them even makes my skin crawl. Gosh!" I burst into laughter. "It's not funny, girl. Sometimes I wonder why my dad would be friends with such people. It's sad," she rubbed her temple, and I laughed.
