Novel & Cerita Solo Player's Friend

I asked hopefully, making her roll her eyes with a dismissive hand and laughter. "We'll just have to see bout that. Who knows... maybe, just maybe, you might convince me!" She says, playfully, making me chuckle. "Good. I promise I will take good care of you if you join my team." I hugged her tightly, thanking the gods for such a good friend in my life. I took off, went shopping on my own, and then had a great lunch in one of Brooks' chain restaurants, enjoying the solitude as I sorted a few emails on my device.

“Go on. Sack him. I’ll take him as I leave.” “He’d like that.” I grumbled as I stared at my angry friend who was eyeing me with the kind of concern only friends could have for the most stupid member of their circle. “No, he really wouldn’t. He admires you –” “Shut up. What did he say?” I groaned, sitting down, cutting my friend off. We both knew what ‘admires’ meant and I wasn’t in the mood for bullshit. “He said you’d gotten in a fight and were in trouble.”

I put away the cup and clear my throat. "I don't have friends." I start. "I was kinda social in high-school. Had a couple of friends. But that changed when I started living with my boyfriend. For the past eight years, my only friend has been Brandon. He never let anyone come too close to me. I thought it was love. Now I think it was fear. He was scared that they would see through his bullshit and make me leave him. Last year I met Lana and realised how much I had missed out on the magic of friendship. I only have one friend. Can you believe that? I think it's time I expand the tiny circle."

I said in one breath. "He's coming towards us! it's definitely not just a hi..." She paused for a few seconds. "You know, people tend to leave their lame friends after fame..." She muttered. "What the heck, Paige, you call this fame?" Realizing my tone was a little harsh, I cleared my throat and started again. "This isn't fame, Paige. We're friends, friends stick together no matter what and I plan to stick with you for as long as you let me." I said softly. Knowing she needed to hear that. It was obvious she didn't have any other friend here. To bad for the students, they missed the opportunity to have her as their friend.

'' Well, what is your thing then? ''Why are you talking to me?'' I asked completely and, utterly done. All I wanted was to practise in peace but noooo that was just too much to ask. ''I just wanted to be your friend,'' she said. I rolled my eyes, not like I haven't heard that one before. ''Look Mindy you seem nice and all but, I don't need nor require any more friends. Thanks but no thanks. Now excuse me while I go practice somewhere else,'' I said

"Thank you for letting me know about her. Honestly, I am flattered about it. A girl like her wants to be friends with a girl like me. An ugly duckling? This sounds too good to be true Rohan. But I assure you I will think about it. I. Just to let you know Friendship for me is Holy, I love people with all my heart and I am hoping it's not one of your games." His gaze held mine in a challenging stance and I swallowed. "I have never played any game with you, Jacqueline, why do you think I would do so now?"

He chuckled lightly while I leaned back, crossing my arms. “What is it?” I asked. “Are you free for dinner?” Of all the things I expected, that wasn’t one of them. “I don’t go out with players,” I said immediately but his smile didn’t falter. “Even if they’re charming?” “Especially then.” He chuckled softly, rubbing the side of his sharp jawline. “What about Davian?” “He’s a friend.” I replied, my expression unchanging. “Good,” he said smoothly. “I can be your friend too.”

“And this is the remote that you are looking for. The one that you’ve been playing with is the surround speaker which is thankfully unplugged.” “Thank you,” she said, and I smiled and nodded. “And to answer your earlier statement. I would rather consider you a friend than an enemy. You know, it seems that you lack them in your life, and sometimes even those that you often want to believe are your friends fear you most. It is good to have someone in your life that aims to be both real and honest with you.” “And do you believe that you can be that person? Of all the people that knew me throughout my whole life, you would be the person to be true and honest?” I asked, and she nodded.

His jaw was tight, but he didn’t grab the phone from me. “You were my friend,” I said. “And you were his wife. Friendship died in that bedroom the same day your marriage did.” “If you post that photo, you are not hurting Adrian. You are helping Damien keep me tied to a man who will not sign.” “Maybe I want you tied. Maybe I like watching you scramble and suffer.” My free hand curled into a fist. “What kind of human are you?? What did he promise you this time?” “I don’t think that is your business anymore.”

she tapped her hearing aide, "I only sign. And girls my age don't like me because I'm beneath them." "Fuck! That's crazy, Sinclair. They don't deserve you anyway. But I know what you mean. I had a lot of fake friends before. They only like me because of my brother and his friends. When I realized that's the case. I said, to hell with them. I am better off alone. That's why I am glad I met you tonight. Listen, can we exchange numbers?" "Oh, god. Sure. I would like that. We can meet sometimes." They exchanged numbers, giggling when they realized they had the same phone case.
