I looked at my watch as I walked through the door to Jeremy's birthday party. Jeremy is one of my oldest friends, yes, but, well I'm sorry I fell asleep and am late to his birthday party, but I'm sure, knowing me, he wouldn't mind. But anyway, to be safe, I sneaked in and grabbed a beer before I texted him that I've been here a while but I can't seem to find him. There. That should save my ass.
Anyway, I noticed people was moving to the pool, and being curious, I followed. But I wasn't really prepared to see what I saw next. I saw Jeremy kneeled in front of Beth, with a ring, asking her to marry him.
I think it's time for some back story. Jeremy and Beth had been in love forever, probably since high school, and I think they had been together for about 8 years or so? Anyway, what happened was, last summer, I invited them to my dad's beach house, to stay with me, as my newly married dad decided to go on a honeymoon with his new bimbo to Fiji. So, it was all going good, till Jeremy had to leave for an emergency meeting at work, and it was just me and Beth. Well, the place was romantic, and we were both horny and me being me, I ended up having sex with her. Thing is, that was not the last time.
We had gotten together and fucked many times after that. I know the guy code and all that, but you can't just say no to Beth; she had the perfect body, and the way her golden hairs fell on her face, her perfectly shaped c cup boobs with big brown nipples and an ass to die for; I fell in love with her. She promised me that she was gonna break up with him and be with me, so guess how surprised I was when she said yes to him.
I could hear everyone clap around me, but my eyes were fixed on her; it was like I couldn't feel anything around me. She met my eyes once, and after that, I could see her actively trying to avoid my gaze. I noticed the people gathering close to congratulate them, and being Jeremy's best friend, I had to congratulate him too. Beth quickly grabbed a glass of wine from a tray and walked away.
Jeremy was telling me about how he knew I was late and making fun of me for sending a pretentious text, but to be honest, I didn't hear a word he was saying. My eyes were glued to Beth, and she knew. She was trying to actively avoid my gaze, but she knew that it wasn't an option. So she pointed me to the garage, and I told Jeremy that I have to go the washroom, and left before he could say anything, though not like he could, as soon as I left, a bunch of people gathered around him to congratulate.
I waited in the dark garage, only lit by the bit of light coming from a small window on a top corner. About ten minutes later, Beth came, in her jeans and maroon top, that complemented her body perfectly.
-Mike? Are you here?
-Why did you do it Beth?
I could hear her footsteps, as she ran to me and hugged me, saying sorry again and again.
-Mike, I'm so sorry, I really am, I- I was about to tell you, I thought about it, and me and Jeremy have been together forever, and I just can't leave him now, you know? And obviously not for his best friend, try to understand. So many people would be hurt, and... and I love him. You know that. We had a good thing going, but it was only lust. I love him. I'm sorry.
She finished in one breath as she held around my neck, and then let go. She looked into my eyes, and smiled, but stopped to my stern furious look. She sighed and let go, as she leaned against the garage table by me.
-Mike, I really did think about it. We don't have a future. You can't settle down, you know that. You would end up hating me for tying you down to the family life. And I don't want that. You'll be happier this way.
-And what about the fact that you cheated on my best friend? Is that okay too?
-Mike, we both made mistakes, let go of it.
-What if I don't. What if I tell him what happened?
She gave a short laugh.
-Mike, don't be stupid. You know if he knows, he will never forgive you.
-I don't really care at this point.
She sighed.
