It’s five in the morning, and still quite dark outside.
When I woke up after a long sleep, the first thing I did was grab my phone. There were missed calls from dad, Max, and Sean.
Initially, I felt a sense of panic because dad didn’t know my whereabouts. However, I calmed down when I realized he was aware that I was going to be with Max at the hospital.
I tried calling Max, but he didn’t answer. I assumed he was heavily sedated due to the painkillers given by the nurses. So, I sent him a text, instructing him on what to tell dad if he called. I also texted Sean, but unlike Max, he promptly called me to ensure I was alright.
A hot cup of coffee sits on the table as I attempt to find a more comfortable position on the couch, desperately trying to avoid any reminders of the night I spent here with Brian. It was a night filled with countless passionate encounters, an experience that overwhelmed me like the ocea

FALLING FOR MY DAD'S BEST FRIEND Come All Over
[BRIAN]I was fifteen years old when I first kissed a girl. Evelyn Gordon was her name. She was in my class and the most stunning girl I had ever seen. Mason, my twin brother, was also smitten with her. But I didn’t realize it at the time. I was so caught up in my own world, weaving all kinds of fantasies with her, that I didn’t notice how my brother looked at her or how he always got tongue-tied whenever it was their turn to sit together in Mr Warren’s lab.Mr Warren used to have this bowl system where instead of sitting in our regular seats or wherever we wanted, he made us pick a folded paper from the bowl and whichever number was written on it, we were stuck on that bench for a week. I recall being jealous of Mason because every time Evelyn smiled, laughed, or just pushed some hair out of her face, or blushed the deepest shade of red at something he said, I had a nagging suspicion that she was mistaking Mason for me. At least that

[AVA] A blissful moment consumes every fibre of my existence. It sweeps over me like a cool breeze on a hot summer night, makes me giddy and silly, and leaves me so darn satisfied that if I ever had a last wish before dying, I am pleased to say it has been thoroughly fulfilled. Only, I should have known it was too good to be true. Because the second the veil of lust lifted and the awareness of what had happened dawned on both of us, the bliss that once felt like the best thing that had ever happened to me shattered like a fine china urn. Brian rips himself away from me as if my skin is suddenly oozing electricity. He snatches his clothes from the floor and throws them on in so much rush, I feel dizzy just looking at him. I sit up and get dressed myself without breaking down in tears. He’s acting as if he’s embarrassed by what happened between us, as if he’s on the verge of screaming his head off. For a long moment, he just sits with h

[AVA]It’s been a month since that night—correction:morning. A month since I saw the last of Brian. A month since we had that moment and he kicked me out of his life as if I had no place to be in it. Maybe he was right. Maybe there was no reason for me to feel so betrayed. Maybe it was just what he said it was. A mistake. And hoping that it was anything more than that was just plain stupid.After making sure I took the pill and forcing me to swear that I would take the rest of them too, Brian dropped me outside of my apartment building and left once I got in. I had a spare key with me, so instead of molesting the doorbell, I stuck the key and got myself in.I cried the entire time that day, not even bothered that only a day was left before those goons showed up to recover their money again. It was as if nothing else really mattered, as if my life was over and nothing good was left in it.But I reminded myself&md

[AVA]I’ve always despised being that person who ruins everything. Back in middle school, my friend Val and I received an invitation to our classmate Angelica Barden’s birthday party. Let me tell you, she was basically Regina George from Mean Girls, but with a touch of the devil. I really wish I could blame her for clumsily toppling her own five-tier birthday cake while wearing a princess gown.But unfortunately, that’s not the case.The sole individual responsible for transforming Angelica’s fourteenth birthday into an unforgettable disaster was none other than me.If only I had better control over my limbs on that fateful day...Regardless of my current thoughts or how remorseful I feel about accidentally bumping into Angelica, causing her to faceplant and the cake to be squashed between her and the floor, it won’t change anything. It certainly won’t make her hate me any less.I know Sean won’t despise me for taking up his valuable time, as he did his best to calm me down and wipe a

[SEAN]Have you ever experienced a deep sense of helplessness? A feeling of desperately wanting something, but being unable to pursue it out of fear of hurting the people you love most? These situations are all too familiar in my life. I have become the epitome of sacrificing my own happiness for the sake of others’ comfort. As the eldest child, my family expects nothing short of perfection from me.Anything less, and I am deemed a failure in my father’s eyes. Anything more, and I’m burdened with the immense pressure to maintain my own success. It often feels like I’m being squeezed from all sides. If I don’t take action to help myself, I fear I’ll suffocate in my own loneliness and perish.I don’t understand how some people manage to remain happy no matter what. They don’t care about others’ opinions of them. They are unfazed when their parents act unreasonably, solely interested in molding them into a certain image—as if they were mere pets or show ponies, meant to be trained and gr
Last Updated : 2023-11-23FALLING FOR MY DAD'S BEST FRIEND I Just Know
[BRIAN]I know I made the right decision, although my emotions try to convince me otherwise.Kissing Ava was wrong, and fucking her was even worse.What the hell was I thinking? How did I let my attraction to her cloud my judgment, especially considering she’s half my age, my late daughter’s best friend, and the daughter of my mentor?You can’t just forget something like that, can you? It’s the only thing that should have mattered, and I should never have allowed myself to forget it. Those facts should have been permanently etched in my mind, engraved in my thoughts, and if possible, tattooed on my damn soul.But none of those damn facts stopped me from touching her inappropriately, from indulging in the kisses we shared, or from obsessing over her every waking moment since then.I swear, Ava has consumed my thoughts for the past month. She’s been like a goddamn brain-eating slug, doing nothing but wreaking havoc in my head.I thought spending a month in Australia would clear my mind.

[AVA] “Listen up, sweetie,” mom says, grabbing my hand and intertwining our fingers. “I’m your mom, and all I want is what’s best for you. Is that so hard to believe?” I’m dying to respond: yes, that’s exactly what I think. But instead, I let out a sigh and prop my elbow on the table. “Mom, what’s on your mind?” I had only been in the kitchen for a mere five minutes when mom turned into a protective mama bear. Actually, it’s the perfect timing for her to butter me up, considering dad is out for his morning walks and Max is still asleep in the backroom, which is just a fancy name for our small storage space. The ache of nostalgia hits me hard when I think about our old home, which was at least fifty times the size of this tiny apartment. Our bathroom alone could fit this entire room, and our backyard overlooked a breathtaking lake. We even had our own landing space for the private jet nearby. But that’s all in the past now, and I know I need to let go of those memories instead of h

[AVA] A jolt of icy anticipation shoots through me as the door to Brian’s office swings open. Sharon wastes no time, forcefully shutting the door before I can even step further into the room. I don’t know what her problem is, but she’s seriously starting to get under my skin. Then again, the only reason I dared to show her a bit of attitude earlier was because I had a hunch that Brian must have personally instructed her to fetch me. Otherwise, she would have sent someone else or, worse, just asked the receptionist to send me up. But none of that happened. I can’t help but wonder what Brian said to her to put her on such a tense edge. Did he threaten to fire her or something? I scoff, doubting that would ever happen. Why would he go to such lengths for me? I mean, who am I to him? Just a nobody, clearly. Just a regret. But as much of a jerk as she’s been to me from day one, I don’t want her to suffer the consequences. I know firsthand what it’s like to fall from grace and land in

FALLING FOR MY DAD'S BEST FRIEND Epilogue
[AVA]I took a deep breath, trying to calm the butterflies fluttering in my stomach as I stared at the towering penthouse before me. Seeing Brian again after such a long time filled me with a mix of excitement and nerves.I had arrived in the city just a few hours ago and immediately made my way to Brian's penthouse. It was a spontaneous decision, but I couldn't bear to wait any longer to be in his presence. Perhaps it was unconventional that I hadn't even informed my parents about my arrival, prioritizing seeing Brian above all else. But the truth was, my heart led me here, and I couldn't deny the pull I felt towards him.Despite being away from my hometown for two years, I had managed to meet Brian a few times during my time in Canada. He would surprise me by showing up at the restaurant where I worked, and we would steal a few precious hours to catch up on each other's lives. Those encounters were bittersweet, as they reminded us of the physical distance separating us.I hadn't rev

[BRIAN]I couldn't help but nervously drum my fingers on the steering wheel, desperately trying to calm the jitters crawling up my arms and spine. I rolled my shoulders repeatedly, searching for some relief, and glanced at the rearview mirror out of habit, even though I had no specific reason to do so. I just needed any kind of distraction to keep myself from going crazy.Now, you're probably wondering why I was so anxious. Well, it all started about a week ago.Things had been going well. I had a civil conversation with Georgina and kindly explained that getting back together wasn't the right solution. Ava was studying hard for her exams, and I made sure to give her the space and time she needed. Although, I must confess, I did manage to convince her to sneak out of her house every now and then so she could study at my place. I even cooked her favorite meals just to see her smile. And Kian, well, I was proud of how he had been excelling in school recently. His teachers stopped comp
FALLING FOR MY DAD'S BEST FRIEND One Step At A Time
[SEAN]In hindsight, it was clear that he was the culprit all along. I couldn’t understand why I had been so reluctant to accuse him of something so obvious. He had a clear motive for his actions, and given our history, it should have been easy to see through his deception. Instead, I had found it easier to point the finger at Coraline.How could I be so stupid?I parked the car in his driveway, and as soon as it came to a stop, I flung open the door and slammed it shut with a loud bang. My hands were trembling slightly as I hit the button for the elevator and waited impatiently for his floor to arrive. When it did, I marched down the hallway until I reached his door, my heart racing with anticipation.I pushed the buzzer aggressively, impatiently waiting for Aaron to answer. The anticipation was killing me, my hands were shaking with an adrenaline rush.When he finally opened the door, his eyes widened in disbelief at first, before a smirk curled at the corner of his mouth. He took a
FALLING FOR MY DAD'S BEST FRIEND Who Is It?
[AVA]Three days had passed since the incident with Beau, and life had started to fall back into its mundane routine. It was then that I received a text from Sean, asking me to come to his house. He even arranged for a car to pick me up, which only added to my curiosity. Mom and Dad were out grocery shopping, and Max was busy with his new job at a nearby cafe. Brian had been encouraging me to focus on my studies, but the invitation from Sean was too tempting to resist.Before stepping into the car, I hastily sent a text to Brian to let him know about the unexpected invitation from Sean. In a matter of seconds, he called back, reminding me to be cautious and that he was available at all times. His concern warmed my heart, and I couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed with gratitude and affection. Despite my efforts to keep my emotions in check, tears welled up in my eyes.It was a twenty-minute drive to Sean’s mansion, and when the car pulled up at the porch, Sean was waiting for me at the
FALLING FOR MY DAD'S BEST FRIEND Escape Reality
[AVA] I paced back and forth in Brian’s penthouse living room, gnawing on my nails. It had been two days since Beau’s arrest, and I’d spent most of that time with my parents, trying to support them both. I couldn’t shake the guilt I felt for not understanding my mom sooner. How had I missed such a huge thing? I used to blame her for being self-centered, but now I knew that I had played an equal part in driving us apart. I’d been so caught up in my own life that I hadn’t noticed the pain she was going through. And I hate myself for it. I hate myself more than anything. Just like any of us, Max was barely keeping it together after he learned about what had happened. He was furious, to say the least. Max even went to the station to confront Beau and ended up punching him in front of everyone. As a result, the police arrested Max as well. Dad and Brian had to intervene and go to the station to get Max released. I had been lost in my thoughts when Brian walked in, carrying a tray of tea
FALLING FOR MY DAD'S BEST FRIEND Consequences
[AVA]As I watched the police officers recite Beau Edwards his rights, I couldn’t help but notice the way he glared at us. It was as if he found our accusations amusing and was confident that the charges wouldn’t stick for more than an hour. He seemed to be certain that he would be out in no time, and that he would make sure to show us what happens to those who make an enemy out of him.I felt a shiver run down my spine as Beau’s gaze lingered on me. It was as if he was silently threatening me, warning me to stay out of his way.“You’ll regret this,” he spat as the officers led him away.I felt a weight lift off my shoulders as the adrenaline from the confrontation with Beau started to dissipate. It was only then that I became aware of how tightly I had been holding onto my mom, and how tightly she had been holding onto me.Tears streamed down our faces as we both let out a sigh of relief.“Audrey!” Miranda exclaimed as she rushed over to us after the police vans had left their proper
FALLING FOR MY DAD'S BEST FRIEND No Experience, No Qualifications
[SEAN]We were all gathered in the living room, but my mind was far from the conversation. Mom was talking about wanting to adopt a new dog, but all I could think about was Coraline. Knowing that she was the one behind the threatening calls had me on edge, and I was seething with anger every time I looked at her. I had known this for some time now, and I knew I needed to confront her, but that would have to wait. My focus had shifted entirely when Ava told me about what my dad had done to her mom.I couldn’t believe it. My dad, the man I had looked up to my entire life, had violated someone in such a disgusting way. I knew he could be a jerk, but I never thought he was capable of something like this. I couldn’t help but wonder if this was a one-time occurrence or if he had a history of doing this to others. Did Mom know about this? Did she have any idea what he had been up to?A few years ago, I remember my dad mocking me for not being man enough to make tough choices. Today, even tho
FALLING FOR MY DAD'S BEST FRIEND Inappropriately
[AVA]I woke up early the next morning, feeling a mix of nervousness and determination. Yesterday had been a whirlwind of emotions, from the anxiety of telling Brian to the overwhelming joy of finally being with him. But there was one more thing I needed to do before I could fully enjoy this newfound happiness.The sun was just beginning to rise as I got out of bed and got dressed. I took a deep breath and tried to steady my nerves. This was something I had been putting off for too long, and I couldn’t keep avoiding it any longer. I was going to confront my mom about her lies and deceit.I entered the kitchen and saw mom sipping her coffee at the table. Her eyes widened as she looked up at me, and I knew she already had an idea of what I was going to say. This was the perfect opportunity to have the conversation I had been dreading. Max was still asleep, and dad was out for his morning walk.Taking a deep breath, I walked over to the table and stood in front of her.“Mom, we need to t
FALLING FOR MY DAD'S BEST FRIEND Societal Judgments
[AVA]My heart was pounding as I stood outside Brian’s penthouse, trying to gather the courage to ring the bell. I had been pacing back and forth for the last fifteen minutes, my hand hovering over the buzzer, but each time I tried to press it, a wave of anxiety washed over me, and I recoiled. I knew I had to see him, to talk to him about what I had been feeling, but the fear of rejection was paralyzing me. What if he didn’t feel the same way about me anymore? What if he thought it was inappropriate and wanted to end things before they even started?No. I was stronger than this. Sean was right. Even if Brian rejected me, it wouldn’t be the end of the world. Sure, it would hurt, and it might take me forever to be over it, but I needed closure, whether it was a yes or a blunt no. I couldn’t keep living in a world of maybes and what-ifs. It was time to take a leap of faith and find out where Brian and I stood.Taking a deep breath, I lifted my hand and pressed the buzzer, trying to stead
