In love with my best friend

Best friends betrayal

I know per usual I'm late on an update. I hope you all enjoy and don't forget to vote! Btw I think there'll be only a few more chapters left of this book. I know I want to end it soon. But I'm proud of it thus far!
Much love~~Aj

My phone rang for the hundreth time. My palms were sweaty against the stirring wheel, and my head was pounding. "What?!" I answer the phone. "I've called you like a lot of times Allison! You cannot just not answer! What if something was wrong?" Adam asked, sounding very annoyed might I add. I roll my eyes. He's such a drama queen. "Nothings wrong." I point out. "Where are you? Where are you going?" He asks though there was a good chance he already knew. "Oh I don't know! Maybe to my ex best friends house to slap her for kissing my husband!!" I was fuming.

Katie is my best friend! And she betrayed me like this after everything we've ever been through? She just goes on ahead and kisses my husband! What if he would've kissed her back? Would she have slept with him! Of course I know Adam would never kiss her back in like a hundred years because I would cut off a very important part of his body and feed it to him! Plus he really isn't the biggest fan of Katie.

But why would she do that to me? She's my best friend! And she knows me and Adam are expecting in a few months! For gods sake she was the one the offered to throw me a gender reveal party!

"Okay babe, I know your mad! But if I would've known you would react this way I wouldn't have told you." He sighs. "What?! You're telling me that you wouldn't have told me? You'd just let me go around acting like nothing happened?" I felt my blood suddenly boil. "I would have told you eventually just not right away given the circumstances we're in. My point is is that it's 12 at night and your driving around not to mention you're pregnant and not in the most best state to be out right now." He points out.

"Okay first of all my pregnancy does not define me! Secondly I have every right to be mad right now. I trusted her and she went and did this! What if you had chosen to kiss back? Would she have slept with you? She probably would've!" The more I thought about it and said it out loud the more I found myself growing mad about it. I felt not only betrayed but honestly a bit heartbroken. She's my best friend and she just did this to me?

"Allison I understand you're very mad and you have every right to be. But I sign my company over to her next week and if you make any rash decisions tonight she might not do it. Just come home and we'll talk about this- or we don't have to we could watch some movies and eat that gross popcorn you like?" He suggests.

It sounded tempting and I knew he was right. We couldn't risk Katie backing out of the deal she had made with Adam. I knew Adam would probably never forgive me if I messed that all up for him. He had finally felt relieved, he was finally done with the whole Elizabeth suing him and was finally not so stressed. We could focus on the baby and our life for once in our marriage.

I had thought after my talk with Nicole that she'd drop this whole thing but she hadn't, maybe it was something she just needed to do?

I sigh, rolling my eyes. He was right. "She kissed you Adam." I point out. "I know." I bite my lip, thinking.

Why couldn't she have kissed anyone else? For Gods sake I'd rather her have kissed Zack when I was with him, but Adam? Why Adam?!! Does she have feelings for him or something?

"She's going through a lot right now Allison. The guy she was with and married to for years just divorced her. She literally has to figure out how to start her life over and get a fresh start. She devoted a lot to that piece of trash. Remember that job she was offered in Philly? But he refused to move. That was an amazing job, she would've gotten so far in her career if she would've taken it but she turned it down for him." He points out. "Not to mention the whole kid thing. She wanted a kid so bad and he didn't so she never got one. Now he's gone and has taken a lot of years of her life from her. She has to start over Allison and she's probably having a sort of break down." I hated how right he sounded.

Katie had been through a lot with her husband. He had always been very selfish. I personally never liked him but I was nice to him because he was married to my best friend. Now that he's not I'd be more then happy to slap him for her.

But I couldn't help but still feel mad. She kissed my husband that's a lot to just forgive! Am I right? Am I supposed to just forget about it and let it slide?

"I'll be home soon." With that I was too overwhelmed in my own thoughts to even say goodbye or let Adam respond, I hung up and put both hands on the stirring wheel.

Adam was right. She was going through a lot and though I'm pretty mad at the moment, I can't help but pity her.

I pulled over to the side of the road, leaning my head on the stirring wheel and looking down at my feet. The small bit of my stomach that had grown distracted me.

I still couldn't believe that I was going to be a mother. Though in some way I sort of already considered myself a mom to Boston. I loved him like my own and always would- but this baby- well it really is my own.

It's crazy to think. And on top of that I can't help but feel nervous about it. What would happen after 10 years? Would I still be with Adam? Would we have anymore kids?

Why wasn't I confident in our relationship? We had gone through so much together, it took us forever just to get where we were. In a way, what Adam's mother had said to me was something that stuck. Adam was always working- what if I would be alone in this all? Or worst, what if Adam wasn't completely in it?

But why was I doubting him? Why now? He had stuck with me thus far? Maybe I was just too nervous about becoming a mother that I was just expecting the worst?

I got home at midnight. I had drove around for awhile until I felt too tired to drive anymore. The lights in the house were off. The house smelt off something burnt, like burnt bread or something.

I walked upstairs into the dark bedroom, turning on my phones flashlight to guide me through the room. I didn't want to wake up Adam. I took off my slippers which I forgot I had on, and my coat before changing into some sweats and crawling into bed. I half expected Adam to be there too, but to my surprise the bed was empty. I sat up looking around the room despite how dark it was.

I stood up and walked out back downstairs. I wasn't surprised to find him in the living room sound asleep on the couch. He had his work clothes still on. His dress pants and his button up blue shirt. He even still had his wing tip suede leather shoes on.

He cuddled one of the pillows to his chest, and the tv was on some sports channel. I turned it off before bending down to look at him. I couldn't help but reach forward and run my hands through his jet black hair. He looked so peaceful when he slept.

I always found it so hard to believe that he was Adam, the guy that used to ditch class in high school to drink beer behind the bleachers, or throw all the best parties at his parents huge home when they were gone out of town. The same guy that got valedictorian despite all that.

Now he was running his own company. Though I never doubted him even in high school when I kind of hated him. Or at least claimed to hate him when in reality I just had a huge crush on him. But I knew even back then that Adam was destined to be something big, to do big things and always be successful.

"Adam?" I whisper his name as I slightly shook him awake. He stirred a little before opening his eyes. "Oh thank God." Were the first words to come out of his mouth when he saw me. "I was so worried I was half ready to go out looking for you- but then I figured you just need a second to yourself." He says. "I'm sorry to have scared you. I was just being dumb." Though I still don't think I was being completely dumb, I still felt bad for worrying him.

"I must've fallen asleep waiting for you." He says sitting up. I nod, taking a seat on the couch next to him.

"Adam?" I ask. He looks at me, arching his eyebrows. "Hmm?" I look behind us towards the kitchen. "What is that smell?" I ask.

He suddenly chuckles. "Well I bought some of those pre-made cookies you just pop in the oven the other day. I attempted to make them and ended up burning them. Started a bit of a fire in the oven, nothing too bad I don't think." He shrugs. I shake my head at him. "You aren't suppose to use the oven without my supervision." I point out, standing up.

"come on let's go to bed, it's late." I reach forward grabbing his hand and forcing him to get up. He stands up, wrapping his arms around my waist before placing a kiss on my lips.

"I love you." He whispers. I smile, leaning my head on his chest. "I love you too."
