Yearning for My Friend's Dad Chapter 25 : The Real Culprit
Rory’s POV"I trust you. Can we leave the past behind?" I asked as Scott took my hand and we left the club. We returned to the suburban villa, where I had the most comforting sleep ever.I woke up feeling better rested than I had in a while. I turned to the other side of the bed to find it was empty. A small pang rose in me. “Good morning, beautiful,” Scott called. I turned in the direction of his voice and saw him standing by the doorway holding two hot mugs.“I wasn’t sure how you like it, so I left it black but I can get you cream and sugar.” Scott handed me one of the mugs and I took it gratefully. “Usually I take cream,” I said, holding the mug in both hands and enjoying the warmth. “Cream it is,” he said. “If you’re hungry, I’m making some omelets.” The mention of food made me realize how hungry I truly was. I threw off the covers and followed him out into the kitchen. I sat at the table and watched him cook. He was better at it than I would have thought. I r
Yearning for My Friend's Dad Chapter 26 : Motherly Visit
Rory’s POV“Wait!” came a voice behind me that I didn’t recognize. I turned and saw a man dressed in a sharp suit doing his best to keep up with me. I slowed down and looked at him. “Who are you? What do you want?” I asked, holding up my small can of mace. The man held his hands up in surrender. “Hold up, my name is Ben. I work for Mr. McFarlan as a bodyguard. He sent me to protect you, something about a school stalker. You are Ms. Rory Hill, aren’t you?” he asked. I lowered my mace and put it back in my pocket. “Yeah, I am. Scott sent you?” I asked. “Yes ma’am,” Ben answered, still catching his breath. “Okay, I was just headed to the library,” I said, gesturing to the tall, well-lit building ahead of us. “I have to say, I feel that is unwise. Please allow me to escort you home and I’d be happy to take you back to the library tomorrow during the day,” he replied. I shrugged, figuring it might be best if I just went home and got some sleep. I let him walk me back to t
Yearning for My Friend's Dad Chapter 27 : The Confusing Complications
Rory’s POV“What?” I felt stunned. I could hardly process what she had said. I felt like a little girl again and despite all her problems and issues, I didn’t want to lose my mom. “I’m sorry, Rory, I thought about calling but I wasn’t sure you would listen to me. I just got diagnosed last week. I didn’t know where else to go.” I moved aside from the door and gestured for her to come in. “Are you sure?” she asked hesitantly. I nodded. “Please, come on. I can’t leave you out there like that. But listen to me, you can not do drugs in my apartment. Okay?” I kept my eyes locked on her until she nodded. “I only have one bedroom here, but I have an air mattress I can blow up for the living room.” “Thank you, sweetie. Anything is fine.” “Are you hungry? I can make us something,” I said with a sigh. I headed into the kitchen and started looking around at the food I had. It wasn’t much. I settled on making grilled cheese sandwiches with tea. “So how bad is it?” I asked, prepping t
Yearning for My Friend's Dad Chapter 28 : The Stand Off
Scott’s POV“Rory?” I called out. I put my hands in my pockets and couldn’t believe I had run into her there. I looked behind her and saw Justin looking pitiful behind bars. She looked distressed, and I was happy that she looked relieved and excited to see me.“Scott! What are you doing here?” she asked. I pulled her in and kissed her forehead. I was tired of this guy always meddling with Rory. This time, I didn't want to hide my relationship with Rory anymore, even if it meant risking Justin spilling our secret to others. I wanted to get rid of Justin once and for all.I hoped he would see how foolish he was to ever let her go. It took a lot of my self-control to keep from pushing her against the wall and taking her right in front of Justin. “Well, I was here on business and I heard a dog barking. I thought I’d come to check it out,” I said, looking back at Justin. Justin turned up and looked at me now and seemed very distressed. His face turned red and I thought I could
Yearning for My Friend's Dad Chapter 29: The Supportive Team
Scott’s POVI watched as Rory sat at the desk with a mess of papers in front of her. She looked so studious going over all her work and information. “What are you working on over there, sweetie?” I asked, popping another grape into my mouth. Rory looked up at me for only the briefest of moments before looking back down. “I’m working on this dual program that my friend Zoe talked to me about. She said it was possible to do a master's program with credits that apply to a doctorate that includes a study abroad portion. I’m doing my homework and looking over my academic portfolio and sending it to my counselor for consideration.” I was a little surprised but mostly impressed with her tenacity and determination. She pulled out a few textbooks and started going over more answers as she reviewed assignments on the computer. She was beyond brilliant, and I loved that about her. I watched her work as I continued to put together other work that I had for clients and grading papers. I
Yearning for My Friend's Dad Chapter 30: The Truth Comes Out
Rory’s POV“What the actual fuck?” I choked out. My whole body was shaking with both fear and anger. I couldn’t believe this was actually happening. My mom rolled her eyes and tossed back the covers. She pulled her hair back into a ponytail and started shaking off all the tubes that were still stuck in her. “Did you really think you were so sneaky, that it wasn’t totally obvious that something was going on?” she asked. “I was thinking that it was none of your business, that’s why I didn’t tell you. I was thinking that you would respect my privacy and for once not throw me under the bus! Obviously, I was wrong. You haven’t changed one bit,” I snapped. She rolled her eyes. “Oh, boo hoo. You’re so mistreated and hurt. I’m sure your friend Needy will be there to support you. Oh, wait… no, probably not after she hears about you and her dad.” “How did you even find out?” I demanded. “You shouldn’t leave your phone just lying around, honey. That’s how people learn private thing
Yearning for My Friend's Dad Chapter 31: Revenge
Rory’s POVI couldn't help but cry while bandaging Scott and I kept apologizing to him. He kept patting my head, saying it was okay, but my tears wouldn't stop. The nurse nearby thought I was just overly worried about Scott's injury and tried to comfort me, saying it was just a scrape. As the blood streamed from Scott's arm, I felt dizzy and nauseous. I ran to the bathroom to throw up. I vomited for a while, as if I was emptying everything from my stomach. Could it be that I was pregnant? Was this karma? I hated myself. I plunged my head into cold water, trying to clear my mind. Memories of Scott and me, those intimate moments, replayed in my head like a movie. The bomb buried in my heart, which had always made me anxious, finally exploded at this moment. I stared into the mirror at the pale, haunted figure, feeling more and more like a stranger. My phone rang in my pocket. Scott had texted me, asking where I was. I replied briefly, collected myself, and walked out of the
Yearning for My Friend's Dad Chapter 32: The Trouble Begins
Rory’s POVI wanted to disappear in my apartment. I still had not completely recovered from my emotional upheaval with Needy. I finished class and started to feel really stressed.She had been going out of her way to avoid any kind of connection or contact with me, not that I blamed her. I still felt guilty and horrible, and I tried to focus on what Scott had told me: our relationship wasn’t wrong. The situation was just handled poorly. I didn’t want to talk to anyone. I couldn’t even bring myself to go to work, but my professor had asked to speak with me after class and it was an interaction I couldn’t avoid. After class, I sighed and went along with her to her office. I slouched down in the seat across from her and waited. I wondered if she could see how out of it I felt. She sat down carefully and crossed her arms over the table. She looked at me sympathetically, and I knew I was about to get bad news. “So, I’m really sorry about this Rory, but it’s come to my attention th
