Author's pov

As soon as Tyler heard Charlotte's words, he turned to see if she was actually talking to him. Just as he was about to take his first step, they both heard a knock on the door. Charlotte quickly turned around, feigning surprise.

"Sorry, I thought it was Ava standing here," she said to Tyler, turning towards him first, unintentionally revealing her bra before using her towel to cover herself.

"I'll be right there," she called towards the door of Tyler's room, then walked over to open it.

"The door wasn't closed, you would have come inside," Charlotte casually said and at the same time thought, "I'm so grateful she didn't come inside with our notice. What would I have done if she saw her dad unhooking my bra?"

When Ava saw her dad, she became angry as she came in contact with her dad's face.

"What are you doing here after you and Mum tried to embarrass me in front of my friend?"

Tyler looked at her and replied, "I thought you took her to the other room. As for your mum, you need to talk to her."

"I need to talk to both of you," Ava said, and she went and sat on the bed.

Tyler had left the room, giving Charlotte a reassuring smile, but Ava was clearly angry. After Tyler closed the door, Charlotte walked up to Ava and said,

"I'm sorry for what's happening..."

"Don't be sorry, Charlotte. It's not your fault. My dad and mum used to be a loving couple until recent months as I can remember. Now, my dad would deny it's his fault and that he wasn't the cause of the argument. On the other hand, my mum would say it's my dad and she's not to blame. The documents that Mum was signing..."

Ava paused as the door opened, and Tyler entered the room with a bottle of wine and two glasses. Before Ava could say a word, Tyler spoke,

"Ava, I know you're angry with me, but you need to tell your mum to stop signing those documents. Is she trying to take you away from me?"

"Dad, what is she signing? I didn't even take the time to look at the documents."

"You better go and look at the documents while I welcome your friend, Charlotte."

Curious, Ava stood up and walked towards the door. Once she had left the room, Tyler opened the wine and poured it into the two glasses.

"Please take your wine," he said.

"I thought you were joking about the wine. Is it really for me?" Charlotte blushed, standing and looking at him.

"Please forgive my daughter for not welcoming you and please don't tell her I said so." He smiled and gazed at Charlotte, who was lost in thought as he handed her the wine.

"Why can't he just ask me to sit on his lap and feed me the wine? Why would his wife argue with such a good-looking man? Some women don't appreciate what they have."

"Charlotte?" Tyler's words brought her back to reality. "What were you thinking?" he asked.

"You've been standing there with your hand stretched out to take your wine. What's stopping you from collecting the wine?" He asked again.

"Oh, sorry, I was lost in thought..."

"About your boyfriend?" he quickly asked.

"Never! I've grown up. I wouldn't even consider dating Harry again."

"So his name is Harry?" he asked.

"Yes. I don't even know what I saw in him that made me attracted to him. The breakup turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Now I understand the difference between loving someone and being in love," she said.

"Hmm..." Before he could hum and say something, Charlotte quickly interjected,

"I was actually wondering if this wine has alcohol. I know how my body reacts to alcoholic drinks. It makes me behave playfully, and if I become tipsy, who will help me out?" She smiled as Tyler.

Charlotte was surprised when Tyler burst out laughing and took a sip from his glass of wine.

"I love the way you said that, that if you become tipsy, who will help you out?" Tyler remarked.

"Why can't he understand the seriousness of what I'm saying?" she thought, but she still took a sip from her own wine and she didn't want to go beyond that.

"Is that why you're taking a sip?" he asked. Then the door opened again, and Ava entered. She saw her dad sitting at a comfortable distance from her friend, but she noticed the laughter on his face.

"Looks like you two are having a good time," she commented, walking closer. Her words seemed to approve of her dad and her best friend spending time together.

When Charlotte saw Ava enter the room, she immediately stopped her flirtatious gestures. But when she heard Ava's complimentary words, she slowly smiled. Ava added, after sitting down close to Charlotte on the bed,

"My dear Charlotte, please forgive me for not entertaining you earlier. I left it in my dad's hands..."

"I... I actually felt sorry when you told me about your friend and how her boyfriend treated her," Tyler interrupted, and Ava quickly responded,

"Those things are in the past. I didn't call her here to dwell on what Harry did to her. Charlotte, you know our plans, and we need to stick to them."

"What are your plans, ladies?" Tyler asked with genuine interest, turning his face to look at both Ava and Charlotte. Ava immediately burst into laughter.

"Dad, that's a matter for the ladies. It's not connected to you in any way. Thank you for the wine you gave my friend."

"Could you prepare something for her? She must be hungry." Tyler said.

"Tyler has been taking great care of me. Why is he doing it? Or is it because Ava has been preoccupied, probably due to their argument," Charlotte thought as she took a small sip of her wine.

"Charlotte, what do you like to eat so that I can go and prepare it before my dad devours me."

"You know my favorites. Prepare any of my favorite dishes. I'm actually very hungry."

"Why didn't you tell her?" Tyler looked at Charlotte as his daughter got up slowly.

"Please, join me in the kitchen," Ava said.

"Why is Ava taking her there? Can't she go to the kitchen on her own? Must she drag this precious lady?" he thought and couldn't help but say,

"Are you taking Charlotte with you, Ava? Don't you think she's tired and needs rest?"

"I knew it! Charlotte is fun to be with, but she's my friend, and she came to visit me," Ava gestured with her hands and head, making all three of them laugh.

"Charlotte, let's go. We only have today for ourselves; the picnic starts tomorrow."

Charlotte was hesitant to leave, but Ava wanted her to be in the kitchen. Sensing Charlotte's reluctance, Ava added,

"I won't ask you to do anything. I just want your company."

Charlotte stood up and followed her. Once they left the room, Ava whispered into Charlotte's ear,

"My mom is angry with my dad. I'm starting to doubt if she'll be willing to go on the picnic with us or will the picnic even take place if she refuses to go?"

A few seconds later, they entered the kitchen, and Charlotte felt comfortable speaking her mind.

"What's causing the problem between your parents?"

Ava didn't immediately answer. She moved around the kitchen as if she was contemplating what to say.

"Both my dad and mum are keeping it from me."

"But your dad asked you to tell your mum to stop signing those documents, right?"

"Yes, but that wasn't the cause of their problem. Before me and my dad left for the airport, they argued about the television. Actually, I don't know how to explain it."

"Is it infidelity?" Charlotte lowered her voice.

"No, no, no. I don't think it's infidelity. If it was, I don't think they would still be together. If my dad has an affair, I will be with my mum. If my mum does the same thing, I will stick with my dad. My parents were best friends years ago. It started slowly, and since then, they quarrel over every little thing and say unkind words to each other."

They were still talking when Ava heard her name being called by her mom.

"Ava...!"

"Yes, I'm coming," Ava replied and left the kitchen. After about a minute, Ava hurried back, surprising Charlotte with her quick return.

"Welcome..."

"Not really," Ava interrupted as she stood in front of Charlotte, clearly unhappy with what she was about to say.

"What?" Charlotte asked.

"My mom sent me on an important errand to meet one of her managers."

"We can go together," Charlotte suggested, pulling herself away from the cabinet.

"Hmm... please, my mum said it's confidential and she does want my dad or anyone to know about my movement. If my mum sees me with anybody, she might think that it was my dad's plan to see the documents with me. I like how quiet the house is. They might start arguing again. But…"

"Are you talking about cooking?" She interrupted her and continued, "If it's about cooking, don't worry, let me prepare it before you come. You already know I enjoy cooking."

"I know, but I don't want you to get bored. On the way, I'll call my dad to keep you company. It's like you both enjoy your company."

"That would be amazing," Charlotte thought, feeling joyful. "Maybe I could even playfully challenge him if he was surprised I asked him to unhook my bra, or will he shy away from the room and not do it?" she added.

  • Resisting My Best Friend's Dad    Happy ending

    Author’s pov Taylor was very anxious and he was very uncomfortable as things were going. This wasn't what he and Gabriel and the nurse they had already paid had planned. The high ranking doctor wasn't around and no one could administer any drug to Larisa without his approval. When the time was 4pm, Taylor took Gabriel for the third time and they went out. “What's happening? I'm running out of patience. This is not what we planned. Larisa and the baby are doing fine. What are you waiting for?” “I don't think we can do anything now. I guess it will be tomorrow.” “Tomorrow? I overheard the doctor saying that she is strong and she can go home tomorrow. Is this what we planned?” Taylor asked. “Why can't we give her the drug in your house? It will be very easy that time. The nurse we are using will be the one to administer it.” “I am getting the feeling that something is going wrong somewhere.” Taylor said. “Don't have that thinking.” “Why will I not have that thinking? This

  • Resisting My Best Friend's Dad    When will the nurse give her the drug?

    Author's pov It’s now nine months later and Larisa had started sensing the sign of giving birth and it started very early in the morning. Then Dylan got up from the bed. “We need to go back to your city.” “Then call your brother that we are coming.”Dylan immediately called Taylor and informed him of their coming. Before now, Taylor had begged Dylan to bring Larisa so that he could sign the birth certificate after she delivers. About two hours after Taylor had finished talking to Dylan, he quickly called Gabriel's phone number."HelloGabriel, the time has come. Larisa is finally coming, but there is a littleproblem." "What's the problem?" Gabriel askedas he sensed Taylor's panic. "I guess Larisa is in labor." "How do you know?" Gabriel asked. "Dylan called me and told me to collect to the airport with an ambulance. It's obvious. What if she gives birth at the plane or airport? Larisa has killed me. The thought out plan is about to be ruined." Taylor and his friend,

  • Resisting My Best Friend's Dad    An advice from a neighbor

    Larisa's pov Why wouldn't I continue to love Dylan? Initially, I had my doubts about whether he would accept what I had to tell him. Deep down, it was a test, and he didn't know that I was about to judge him based on his response. From what I gathered from Dylan's parents, he didn't like visiting his hometown. And after he shared with me what Taylor had done to him, I understood why he rarely went there. But because of the love he had for me, he had decided to accompany me to Taylor's house when it’s due for me to give birth. I still remember when Dylan took his phone and called Taylor, saying, "Hi Taylor, I have seen Larisa..." "That's wonderful," Taylor sounded genuinely excited, and Dylan put his phone on speaker mode so that I could hear their conversation clearly. "But she mentioned something that makes it difficult for her to come." "What's that?" Taylor asked eagerly. "She said she can't come alone to your house. Why is she so afraid? Have you ever hit her whe

  • Resisting My Best Friend's Dad    Dylan once loved someone

    Larisa’s pov It's been eight hours since Dylan told me about his relationship with Tessy. Now I understand why Dylan hesitated to pursue me, even though he had feelings for me. He was afraid it would seem like payback if he chose me. I can see his concerns clearly. It doesn't mean he doesn't love me, but it would appear calculated and vengeful. If I were the judge in his case with Taylor, I would say Taylor deserves the payback. Why would he act so wickedly? Jealousy! But it's not anyone's fault if he couldn't treat a woman well. Right now, I can't stay with Taylor anymore. It's like those girls he dated who ended the relationship and ran away. It also justifies my decision to escape from his manipulative hostility. As I continued to reflect on every word Dylan said and compared it to his and Taylor's past, I noticed a clear contrast. I couldn't sit on my bed any longer, analyzing my thoughts. My feet urged me to move around the house. Dylan had left for an important appointment,

  • Resisting My Best Friend's Dad    They slept together

    Dyan’s pov The next day, by coincidence, I called Tessy in the morning and asked her to come to my place at 5 pm. This happened without Taylor's knowledge. However, it sparked Tessy's desire to meet Taylor at the bar at 4 pm, and she kept it a secret from me.At 3:30 pm, Taylor got ready, took a shower, and dressed nicely. As he was about to leave the house, I jokingly said, "Looks like you found someone new." He smiled at me and left in his car. Our dad was wealthy and made sure we had everything we needed.Because Tessy was eager, she arrived at Keans bar before Taylor, who was driving. Taylor called Tessy from his car, asking, "Where are you?" "I'm already inside the bar," she replied. "Please come out," he said when he spotted someone he knew, and that person also knew Tessy as my girlfriend.Tessy came out, wearing a brown dress with black dots on the front. When she saw Taylor's car, she walked closer to it. "Get inside. Come inside," he said quickly, opening the car doo

  • Resisting My Best Friend's Dad    How it happened

    Dylan’s pov "Quit being envious of what your brother has..." These were the words spoken by my mother when Taylor and I were still very young. She was talking to Taylor, and as a mother, she had noticed our contrasting personalities. She observed that whatever belonged to me always caught Taylor's attention. Taylor was never content with his own possessions and often neglected to take care of them. When we were kids, Taylor had a strong, muscular physique, which gave him an advantage over me when it came to forcefully claiming ownership. In the absence of our parents, he would become domineering, and I would quickly give up what was mine to avoid any physical confrontation. At first, I thought this was normal, but as we entered our teenage years, I realized it was escalating. It felt like I was living in bondage, where the only way to escape was by willingly giving away what was rightfully mine. When our parents were around, he would behave appropriately, and everything I had woul
