The Best Friend's Contract

"Rock climbing accident. Scraped his leg." The doctor replies before finishing the last couple of stitches. "Could've been worse but luckily, just a slight tear. You're good," She adds as she stands up, walking away towards the other patients. Both Noah and I look at each other, realising that there's an unfamiliar figure standing beside him before excusing himself as soon as he realises the tension building.

"I didn't expect to see you here," He starts to speak, wincing in pain as he tries to move his leg before letting out a deep breath.

"I work here," I reply.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

"Still, I didn't expect to see you-especially in a situation like this." He groans but he manages to sit properly, "It's still nice to see you, Kenna. It has been awhile," He adds.

Noah and I met in a restaurant during a clumsy incident. I spilled drink on his shirt when he was walking pass my table, then it all began with the whole embarrassment which ended up being something blissful for once. We dated for a year and a half.

"It's nice to see you too. Looks like you're into rock climbing, now?" I ask, gesturing to the injury and he starts to chuckle, running his fingers through his dirty blonde hair-moving his neck length hair towards the back.

"What do you expect? I needed something to clear my mind from you," He replies, spontaneously which leaves me speechless. "At least I have something to do other than working because it seems to me... you're still here," He adds, causing me to smirk. "Well, this is home." I reply sarcastically before shoving both of my hands into my white coat before hearing him chuckling, louder. He seems to be enjoying our sarcastic responds by the way he's currently looking at me with a small smile plastered onto his face. Our relationship was perfect, people would always tell how we were match made in heaven and I've never once disagreed. He's beautiful with his hazel eyes and both sided dimples, anyone would fall for him in an instant just like how I did when we first met. Actually, he was the perfect boyfriend. People were envious and jealous of me because I had someone like him to go home to-yet, I was never there for him. It would always be him who was there for me... during my worse or even my best. "You look great," He says as he looks into my eyes, "As you have always been."

I smile, "I'm glad you didn't turn into a slob when I left," I respond which causes him to chuckle again before trying to stand up-in which I help by slowly placing my hand around his waist and the other on the side of his stomach.

He winces in pain, "I shouldn't have went rock climbing during a headache. Should've remembered your advices," He mutters under his breath but loud enough for me to hear, leaving me scoffing and letting go of his waist as soon as we've made towards his friend. Both of his eyes are focusing onto my face as I tuck a strand of hair behind my ear which causes him to glance at my hand-quickly making me realise about the ring on my left hand. Noah clenches his jaw for a few seconds before smiling at me, "Congratulations," I drop my hand immediately, "It's not like that."

"What is like, then? You're engaged, Kenna. There's no other way telling it but by the ring on your finger," He replies, trying to avoid making any further eye contact with me, "I'm happy for you and I'm glad that you've found someone to be left alone at home," He adds. The last few words left quite an impact in me. Like I said, he has always been the one to understand more and because of that... he was too perfect for me. I'm the exact opposite from him and I didn't want to hurt him more than I already had. "You know why I ended us," I mutter.

Just as he's about to walk away, "Yeah. No worries," He replies without even looking at me before making his way towards his friend after rejecting my help as he holds onto the pain. His friend walks towards him and tries to help him but he walks off, ignoring him. I furrow my eyebrows as he walks away. Our relationship ended in good terms but somehow, it was left hanging. Things could've been different and better but I didn't try hard for that... for us when we still had one another.

My eyes glance down at my phone's screen before picking the call, "Come at the front." Aidan says through the other line which causes me to let out a deep sigh.

"What is it with "I am left cut off by him hanging up which causes my mouth to open wide before gripping onto my phone, tightly in anger. After taking a few deep breaths, I quickly make my way towards the main entrance, eyes wandering around looking for him. Just as I'm about to call him back, I am left staring at a familiar matte black Maserati which belongs to none other than Dimitri. My lips curve up into a smirk as he presses down the windows, revealing Dimitri at the driver's seat and Aidan at the passenger's seat. "Get in, loser." Dimitri says as he lifts down his sunglasses.

"We're going shopping," Aidan continues..

Then, they both begin to laugh. All of a sudden, Dimitri begins to wink at another doctor who seems to have passed them before smiling back at him-leaving him eyeing her legs. Well, that is definitely Dimitri when it comes to women... he loves them. "Are you guys stupid or just pretending to be stupid? I'm working," I reply as I take a few steps closer towards the car, causing Dimitri to look up at as he holds onto his sunglasses, leaving it on the bridge of his nose.

"I don't want to do it but you're making me do it," He replies which causes me to frown but before I can say another word, he begins to press harder and longer onto the car's horn. People are already glancing towards our direction but he pays no attention to stop. My eyes widen as I reach out to grab him by the neck but he quickly presses up the windows, leaving me hitting my fist onto the windows, itself. I groan loudly at the pain before trying to peek through the dark tinted windows and taking a few steps back, knocking hardly. "Someone's going to call the cops!" I shout through the loud honking before it stops for a few seconds, as he presses down the window again-both of his eyes meeting mine.

Aidan is left laughing at the side by Dimitri's childish behaviour, "Come on, Kenna, Just get in the car and we don't have to continue this any further Dimitri places his index finger onto the horn, attempting to press it again but I quickly surrender by entering the car.

"You two are assholes," I groan, slamming the door.

Dimitri smirks as he glances up at the rear-view mirror before pressing onto the gas pedal, making the car go forward in fast pace. "Don't you miss me? We haven't seen each she taps

other in a week!" He says as

onto the steering wheel, according

to the beat of the music.

I move forward, in between Aidan and Dimitri before smacking onto the side of his temple which leaves him groaning in pain. "Hey! Doctors aren't supposed to hurt people but actually do the opposite," He mumbles under his breath as he glances at me. As I'm about to smack him one more time, Aidan grabs onto my wrist before slowly making me stop my previous intention. He turns to look at me, "You're going to ruin the ring!" He says, examining the ring up close, leaving me rolling my eyes in annoyance. "First couple's fight. Cute!" Dimitri exclaims as he turns the volume louder, making me lean back in my seat and cross my arms at his behaviour.

It's not something rare to see him or

them like this, we're always

I.n

somehow childish around one another but today doesn't seem like a good day for me to be joining. them Somehow, it's funny to be looking at them behaving this way when they're all devilish mean and tough whenever in public but when they're with me... they're just like a bunch of kids.

"Why are we going shopping?" I ask, grabbing both of their attention.

"To impress your future mother-in-law," Dimitri replies with a sly smirk plastered onto his face as he presses harder onto the gas pedal but to only stop at the heavy traffic.
