Chapter 71
Cheat With My Boyfriend Best Friend By Jane E.L. Chapter 71
Is Aaron Your Boyfriend?
It was David!
The same David I used to worship as an undergraduate!
The same David I bought at the auction!
Julian saw us staring and waved us over. “Olive! Nick! Both of you come here. I’d like to introduce you to Dr. David Ford. He’s a visiting from Harvard this semester to see how our research is going.”
David smiled at us, smoothed the slight wrinkles on his suit, and extended his hand, “Nice to meet you, I’m David Ford.”
“Nice to meet you, Dr. Ford. I’m Nicholas Floyd. You can call me Nick.” Nick was especially excited to shake David’s hand.
“Hello, Dr. Floyd.” David smiled warmly. “I read the paper you published last November. Very creative.”
Nick’s eyes lit up for a second, and I could practically hear the victory bells ringing in his head.
There’s no better way for a researcher to feel accomplished than to be recognized for their work, and praise from a bigshot like David was nothing to scoff at.
Honestly, it started to make me feel jealous…
“And it’s nice to see you again, Olive.” David turned to me before Julian could introduce us.
I froze in place.
David laughed. “Don’t you remember? We had dinner at the auction. You were there with-”
“Of course! How could I forget?” I hastily cut him off. I didn’t need him mentioning my involvement with Aaron, especially not here. I’d be screwed… “It’s nice to see you again, Dr. Ford.”
Eventually, Julian and David continued their conversation and walked away. That was when Nick walked over to me with a glass of red wine in his hand.
“You know David Ford?”
I scratched the back of my neck and avoided making eye contact. “Not really… We’ve only met once before, really…” | also danced with him. And he overheard me arguing with my f*ck buddy.
My face burned.
“So what’s he like in private?”
“He’s still very professional. Super friendly and polite. That’s pretty much it.” To be honest, I didn’t know David particularly well. From my experience with him at the auction, he seemed like a gentleman.
I looked at Nick in surprise and asked, “Why are you so curious? You didn’t seem this interested in Aaron.”
“Aaron’s just another pretty face.”
I nodded. Aaron was gorgeous, especially when he was on top of me…
But wasn’t David also attractive?
I interrogated Nick further. “What do you mean by that? Don’t tell me you’re interested in David…”
“Maybe.”
My eyes widened, but before I could press for more info, Nick suddenly laughed. “I’m teasing, Olive. David’s nice, but I
already have Tim. He’s the only one for me… though I do wonder what David would look like in bed. He’s probably a hunk under that stuffy suit…”
I couldn’t help but think of Aaron instead. At his office, he spoke eloquently and his whole being compelled respect from those around him. In bed though, he was excitable and spontaneous. All of the time I’d spent with him flashed through my mind: wearing his hoodie, standing in line for popcorn, watching him put on an apron, making breakfast… Every facet of him was attractive to me.
Suddenly, Nick’s face was right in front of mine. “Why are you blushing like that? What are you thinking about?”
“N-nothing.” I shook my head.
That evening, when I was leaving the lab, I actually saw David on the sidewalk outside.
“Dr. Ford? What are you doing here?” I didn’t see many people when I came this way. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
“I was looking for a restaurant, and the map says it’s here…” He frowned at his phone.
My eyes widened. “I think you have the wrong place. There aren’t any restaurants on this street.”
