The Best Friend's Contract

"Good. Then, I'm very happy for you; knowing that two of my best friends are in love with each other has made me feel like I'm not friends with fools or idiots anymore which is great. Anyways, has he mentioned to you about the contract? Are you guys going to just burn it away?" He asks, making me think about the contract that we have made. "I mean, don't get me wrong, sweetcheeks but the contract was the reason why you two got married in the first place." He adds.

"We haven't talked about it," I mutter.

He breathes out, "Sooner or later, try to bring that topic up. Dispose it as soon as possible so that if something bad happens, he can't use the contract against you,"

"Are you implying that something bad will happen?"

"I said 'if', Kenna. If something bad happens," He shrugs before shoving one hand into his slacks' pocket, "Look, I wish you guys an everlasting love and marriage and all but I'm just saying be careful at what you go through, try to expect the worst. Love with all of your heart but don't completely put your guard down," He adds with a pat on my shoulder, leaving me to think that his past scar has not healed to an extent where he might be able to let it all go, he forgave her but he will never forget.

"Thanks, Dimitri." I smile, appreciating his advice.

He smiles back, "You're welcome. Always here to look out for a friend-now, I'll have to go back to my client, luckily he seems to 'fancy' you, he might even agree to my terms and conditions." He says as we both head back towards the lobby with staffs smiling and slightly bowing at us when they see Dimitri, who kindly returns the smile.

"He's really handsome," I grin.

A laugh escapes from his lips as he leans his head back, "Fortunately, he's single. Unfortunately, you're married but stay away from him if you can, he's a bit of a heartbreaker; he gets what he wants and he throws it away whenever he wants. Never heard of him being in any serious relationship but maybe he hasn't found the right one,"

I stop for a moment, "You know what, Dimitri?"

He turns to look at me, his eyebrows furrowed as he tries to think of something I might say. "What?"

"He's just like you!" I exclaim with a grin, "He's single but he's a heartbreaker. He gets what he wants and throws it away whenever he wants. He sounds just like you, except that you were once married and you're not a heartbreaker, just a Casanova." I shrug it off as he roll his eyes, following me straight towards Daniel who has started to stand up as soon as he sees us.

"Kenna, I assume everything went well." He says with a seductive smile playing at the tips of his lips which is surprisingly attractive enough for someone to fall head over heels or even swoon.

I smile back, "It went just as how I wanted it. I'm sorry if I took more of your time,"

"If my time was spent for someone like you then I wouldn't mind spending more," He replies without bothering to look at Dimitri who seems to be participating in our conversation, somehow starting to get a little bit flirty, making me burst out into a laugh.

"Oh, look at the time! I have a surgery to monitor in an hour and I can't be late for this. Thanks a lot Dimitri, I will reconsider your advice." I peck onto his cheek before turning to look at Daniel, "Thank you again, Daniel. It was a pleasure to meet you," He grabs onto my hand before kissing the back of it, "The pleasure was all mine."

Both of his eyes won't look away from mine as I slowly slip my hand away from his grasps, taking a few steps back and smile one last time before heading outside and straight towards my car.

Right back at the hospital, I am already making my way towards my floor before bumping into Lucas; who seems to be slightly more surprised than usual as he drops a couple of files onto the ground, leaving me to crouch in unison with him. "I'm sorry," I say as I look up into his eyes.

He chuckles, "If it's you... Kenna, no apologies needed. Where were you running off to?" He asks as we both begin to stand up, my hands shoving inside my coat's pockets.

"I have to monitor a surgery in less than an hour," I reply.

"Good luck. Not that you need it," He says with a grin plastered on his face; leaving me to nod my head, eyes wandering around the lobby before meeting a familiar figure from behind.

"Thanks, Lucas. I'll see you around, okay?" I pat onto his arm before quickly making my way towards the figure, seeing it is definitely Mia once I'm closer-causing me to glance down at my wrist watch, realising that I have about forty-five minutes before the surgery starts. Mia turns to look at me in surprise, "Kenna! I didn't expect to see you here which is dumb because you work here," She says as we both hug.

"What are you doing here?" I ask.

She tucks a strand of hair behind her ear, "I had an appointment to confirm the pregnancy. I thought it was best to head straight to the hospital," She says before adding, "I told Tony,"

"What did he say? If it's anything good then I wish you all the best but if he's an irresponsible lad, I'm going to smack him." I joke and we both laugh, cheering ourselves up.

"Well... he said he was ready to be

dad. He knows that it's too early for us but he'd risk anything for me-as long as I'm by his side," She

continues to smile as he talks about Tony, leaving me to wonder just how much of a good guy he is, even though I know that he has always cared for Mia but if he's able to make this decision, then, he's definitely a keeper.

"That's wonderful! I'm happy for you," I grin.

"Thanks, Kenna. I just want to make sure that everything goes well and that me being pregnant is actually a good thing for me and Tony," She replies.

Just as I'm about to say something, another familiar figure approaches us, causing us both to turn around at the sound of his stern voice. "You're what?!" He asks, anger radiating as he starts to clench onto his jaw; holding it back. "Aidan..." Mia mutters, completely speechless.

Both of Aidan's brown eyes are

wandering widely onto anywhere but

us as he continues to control his breathings, leaving me to gaze at Mia who seems to be entirely out of words I grab onto his hand, trying to calm his down but he pulls his hand away before walking out of the hospital, Mia trailing behind him in a

hurry.

"For god's sake!" I exclaim, surprising a couple of patients in which I apologise, quickly before running out of the hospital-seeing Mia and Aidan having a heated conversation.

"What the hell were you thinking,

Mia?!" Aidan @sks, his voice raising as Mia continues to look down onto the ground like a child being scold, but she starts to look up into his eyes, trying to grab onto his hands but he manages to pull them away, not letting her being anywhere near him.

"Can you at least let me explain?" She asks.

"How? How can an explanation be worth any of this? Were you even thinking about what could've happened, Mia? You're not a child-you know better to use protection!" He continues to let his anger out at her, not even noticing me staring at both of them, watching them argue. Mia sighs, "We did. We used protection,"Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
