Yearning for My Friend's Dad Chapter 48 : Surprise
Scott's POVIt was amazing to me the lengths people go to garner favor from people who’ll humiliate and scorn them in the end. I’d heard her name in Needy’s and Rory’s conversations when they were younger. I remembered nothing complementary was said about her when her name was mentioned. Rory seemed to have always been an unwitting rival of Nicola’s. I didn’t like Nicola’s tactics, nor was I pleased with her antics at the party. After dropping Rory off, I went back to the hotel where the class party was held.Since Nicola went from being the center of attention to feeling ignored when I showed up at the party, I could tell she was really uncomfortable. So, when it came time to pay, this was her only chance to save face.She called out to everyone, "I have a membership card for this restaurant that gives us a twenty percent discount.""You're a member at this five-star, top-of-the-line joint? Nicola, you're really something!" "I really want to be friends with you so I can

Rory’s POVA part of me wasn’t shocked at the revelation of Needy and Justin’s relationship. I was a little hurt. Needy knew what Justin was. She’d watched me mourn the ending of our relationship.“I thought you’d be more upset about this,” Needy said, washing her hands.“I’m sorry to disappoint. Why did you really do this?” I asked, wondering at Needy’s motives. Surely, she didn’t think this was going to make me leave Scott. This just cemented my resolve. I’d made the better choice.“I just figured you’d care more about it than you do,” Needy said with a shrug.“So, you wanted to hurt me?” I asked, feeling upset at her motives.“Sure, I did. Didn’t you mean to hurt me when you started sleeping with Daddy behind my back?”“You were never even a blip on my radar,” I lied without a blink of an eye, and I was gratified to see her flinch. “I’ve always loved Scott. I wasn’t trying to hurt you. I’m in love with him, and when I’m with him it isn’t about anyone else but us. I feel sor

Scott’s POV"What are you talking about?" I asked. "Oh, nothing,” Rory insisted. "Come on, tell me. If I find out you're hiding something from me, I'll just get angrier."Rory tried to stop Zoe from speaking, but it was clear Zoe had something she wanted to tell me.“Oh, speaking of Needy, I heard something. After thinking it over, I decided I should tell you.” Zoe scoffed. My ears perked up. I felt a strange knot tighten in my chest. Zoe must have made some non-verbal response causing Rory to let out an exasperated breath. “Just tell me,” I said. “I heard that Needy and Justin hooked up the other night. I just don’t think that could be good,” Zoe answered. My face turned red and I felt a bolt of rage surge through me. I didn’t hear what Rory’s response was. She was with Zoe for now and I would check in with her again soon.I stood up, grabbed my phone and keys, and headed out to the parking lot. I didn’t think about saying goodbye or closing any of my work. All I c

Rory’s POVI had never traveled much out of the country, but it was so nice to be with Scott in France. I had studied French and it was exciting to get to use the language. I hadn’t realized how stressed and overwhelmed I had been by everything that was happening. As much as I loved school, even that had become a stressful situation, and I was happy that it was summer and I could just enjoy time with Scott. Each night he treated me to a different romantic dinner, followed by amazing sex. I had become so addicted to him and being with him. I craved his touch and the thrill of experiencing him. Every moment with him felt like a dream, and I didn’t want it to end. I pouted a little when it was time to go back to Phoenix. Scott chuckled at me. “Why are you sad? It’s not like much is going to change. It’s just a change of scenery,” he teased, pulling me onto his lap. I continued to pout but ground against him and let him keep kissing me. He moved his hands down under my skirt a

Rory’s POV I was so excited when Scott suggested that we go to Antony’s art exhibition. All I could think of at the time was being on his arm and being included in an outing that had nothing to do with business or protecting me from Needy or Nicola. This was something both of us would enjoy, and I was honored to be a part of it if only as Scott’s plus one.The gallery was lovely. I enjoyed viewing the art and listening to the discussions around me.There was an interesting point in the evening when there was a lull in the conversation and everyone seemed to be eating and drinking wine, when Antony tapped a dessert spoon against his glass.“I’d like to tell you of my newest quest. I am not only an artist. I am a father. I have a longstanding wish to locate my long-lost daughter. If I could just find her, I’d love to leave my legacy to her.”I smiled at him, hoping he had luck with finding his daughter. Those gathered around at the exhibitio
Yearning for My Friend's Dad Chapter 53: Second Thoughts
Scott’s POV Rory and I sat at the table eating breakfast. She had her tablet on the table and was checking off items on her to-do list and adding new ones. I had the newspaper open to the financial section. There was fresh fruit, cereal, coffee, and juice on the table.I didn’t quite understand Rory’s partiality for oatmeal, but she seemed to love the stuff. I couldn’t get Needy to look at the stuff nonetheless eat it, and I didn’t blame her. I hated the stuff. However, I did eat nasty ol’ Corn Flakes, as Needy called them.I let my thoughts wander while surreptitiously watching Rory spoon up creamy oatmeal with bananas and strawberries in it. I smiled. There were some mornings she had raspberries or blueberries in her oats. I made sure to keep fresh fruits for her.There were other mornings that she had slivers of almonds with yogurt and fruits. She seemed to savor either breakfast choice, and still, I didn’t care for either of her choi
Yearning for My Friend's Dad Chapter 54: The Cheating Man
POV: RoryScott and I woke up and readied ourselves for the day. Scott wore a double-breasted suit and wingtips. He looked handsome in his suit, but he had a heavy cough he couldn’t seem to get rid of.“Are you alright?” I asked as he rolled his bags out to the car and lifted them into the trunk. I adjusted the car seat to my height and changed the angles of the mirrors as Scott settled in the passenger seat.“I’m fine,” he said, still coughing.I lifted my hand and touched the back of it to his forehead. He pulled my hand down and linked his long fingers through mine.“I said I’m fine. We’d better go before I’m late.”“You mean they won’t hold the flight for you,” I teased, trying to lighten his mood. He’d been in a funk since the dinner with Zeke.“You know I’m using the jet, but I still like to be on time for these things.”“I know.”I didn’t like that cough. I wondered if he was coming down with something. I wanted t
Yearning for My Friend's Dad Chapter 55: Betrayal
Rory’s POV As soon as our eyes met over Zachary’s shoulder, Nicola ushered him away. I didn’t follow them. I was still in shock from what I saw.He’d betrayed the best woman I knew, and how awful I felt for my friend. I wanted to cry for her, but I knew she’d eventually be all right.The major issue I was having with my newfound knowledge was whether to tell her what I’d seen. I knew what I wanted to do, but sometimes having a friend tell you that kind of news made the person want to punish the proverbial messenger. I would want to know immediately, but I couldn’t say the same for Zoe.I continued to shop for my items, all the while trying to figure out what to do. I was indecisive about this, but I’d feel betrayed if Zoe knew and didn’t tell me.What to do? I kept thinking, as I mindlessly looked through the sales racks and pulled items in my size and my favorite colors.While I was looking through the lingerie section, Nicola caug
