The Best Friend's Contract

"I'm just being cautious when it comes to my life. Look at you, you took the chances and you were happy but you got hurt in the end. Yet, you're still putting yourself out there to look for more capable chances of falling in love with someone. I can't be you and I can't expect

the best to happen," I reply, causing him to sit back and watch my sudden outburst.

"I loved Chloe. She was everything to me," He replies, slowly and almost inaudible. "No matter what she did to me and no matter how badly she hurt me, I will never stop living the life I once lived. She's not going to be something that comes in between myself," He adds. Chloe, the woman he has ever loved more than himself. Everything about them screamed total perfection and I'd be lying if I say I didn't envy them when they were still together because they were simply, in love. Simple as that.

Their love was strong, it was enough to convince him and let his guard down but to only receive and ultimate pain at the end. Maybe, he's just stronger than me, emotionally because he is where he should be with his son, living happily together.

"I didn't make a wrong choice by marrying her but instead I made a right one because if I didn't confess my love to her or ended up being her husband, I wouldn't know how hard it is to find true love. The kind of love that would accept you for who you are, through thick and thin and not just through the happiness that we once had. So, Kenna... you're wrong, I don't regret taking chances in my life," He says, silencing me.

He's right. I am wrong.

"I'm sorry," I mutter under my breath before drinking my water.

"Don't sweat about it. I know how women are," He replies with a slight smirk which causes me to chuckle, liking how he would always know how to cheer up the moment.

Aidan walks back with a sigh escaping his lips as he takes a seat, putting his phone on the table before cracking his knuckles leaving both Dimitri and I to stare at him. We both know that he's seriously tense about work and he's never at ease whenever he takes a day off or more. He would even work from home because it pleases him to at least, work.

"I think my mother is going to be the cause of my death," He says which causes Dimitri to scoff before bursting into laughters.

"Not a surprise," Dimitri replies.

"I thought you were getting a call from work?" I ask.

"I was and she called me afterwards," Aidan continues to speak. "Started to remind me about tomorrow, my tux and all the stuff I don't want to repeat. She even asked me to list the important things-I forgot one and she asked me to start again from the top," He adds. Dimitri laughs, "Believe me, man. She's secretly a devil."

"She just wants everything to turn out perfect. That's all," Aidan runs his fingers through his hair, again. This time, a bit more rough than previously as he sighs, deeply.

My eyes wander to Dimitri who seems to think of something, cheeky. With both of his eyes are focusing onto Aidan as his lips curve up into a sly smirk, "At times like this... there's only one solution. You won't like it, Kenna but there's only one. One small solution," He says.

"Why won't I like it?" I ask, confusingly.

Aidan and Dimitri begin to stare at one another as they both chuckle, exchanging smirks and glances before clearing their throats. "But, I can't. An agreement is an agreement and I'm a man of my word," He replies, meeting my eyes.

"Sucks to be you," Dimitri rolls his eyes, "Honestly speaking, we would be hanging around or even in bed with someone instead of sitting here and talking about your wedding vows. I'm not trying to be a satan but I really do miss my hunt buddy," He refers to Aidan, no doubt.

The word 'hunt' doesn't seem to

ease me, either. These two are men and when I say, men, they're filled with unfilled lusts and somehow an obsession towards other women: No matter how much I try to deny the fact that Aidan and Dimitri are always out hanging around with different women every other night, but that's just how they are.

Were, for Aidan but Dimitri, he's passionate with women. I've heard and seen him trying to flirt with them and he has never once failed to utter romantic words out of his mouth or even try to run his hands on their skin, letting his warmth mix with theirs.

Casanova, womaniser, playboy, you name it. Dimitri is a mix of them all. Truth be told, Aidan is, too. Really have no clue on how he got away with different women all the time and trying to figure out a whole lot of excuses but he's just good at it. He gets what he wants.

Whenever things get a little rough

with the one night stands, he'd turn to me for help. He would ask me to pretend to be his girlfriend or even his sister who seems to have caught up with his nightly activities. If have to pretend to be his girlfriend, I'd have to be the crazy one by being very possessive with slight mental issues.

They always seem to work.

No matter how many times, he'd get slap in the face or spilled drinks over, he still manages to scoop different one night stands for every occasion which is pretty impressive. Not everyone knows how to win a woman's heart by gazing or words but he's good at it, very good.

Probably the main percent of his success would be from his appearances. More clearly speaking, his face. The beauty he holds, the way he talks or walks, he seems to be attracting women very often by that. At times, they tend to throw themselves at him and he'd be glad to please them in bed without a doubt.

..

Then again, they're sometimes just two childish men who craves for attention or even some fun activities other than being in bed with someone, doing the freaky.

I'm the only woman they show off their childish side in which I'd recall myself as one hell of a lucky young woman-luckier than the women who has been in their beds.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

"Coming from you two, it's not really a surprise. Of course, the only solution to solve your problem is to sleep with someone other than watching a movie or hang out with friends like other normal people but I definitely understand," I start to speak, "Except for you, Aidan."

Slamming my hands onto the table

before standing up and leaning forward towards him, causes his eyes to widen as he looks up at me, leaving Dimitri eyeing us with a smirk. "You will follow the conditions I've given you or else. No matter how badly or how much you want to have sex with someone... you're going to have endure it. If I ever find out that you are betraying me behind my back, you're going down. This engagement ring-will be shoved in your eyes," I reply with a smile on my face, slowly leaning back.

"Oh, cold showers would always work." I add.

Dimitri smiles, "You're going to have a lot of cold showers."

"This is actually a very good idea, Kenna. We'd be able to test his patience and his ability to stay focus in life when one of his 'routine' is out for a year," He laughs, enjoying the suffering of his best friend as he shakes my hand, agreeing. "Well, good luck with that, buddy." He adds.

Dimitri and I turn to look at Aidan who seems slightly annoyed by our gestures before letting out another deep sigh, leaving us chuckling to one another.

"Let the games begin, then." He challenges, crossing his arms.
