Cheating with my boyfriend's best friend novel (Olivia and Aaron) novel Chapter 304

Chapter 304 Don't Leave Me
Seeing Aaron finally relent, I felt much relieved.
"You're so happy to get rid of me, huh? I can practically see your gums," Aaron's tone carried a clear
complaint.
"I'm not laughing," I quickly tightened my face and pushed Aaron away.
You could never tell when this guy might change his mind again.
"I can leave as you want, but come with me first." Aaron grabbed my wrist and forcefully pulled me
towards the cabin.
Unlike me, he was quite upset right now.
Even in his unconscious state, the force with which he held onto my wrist was strong. I hurt a bit, but
I didn't struggle.
Aaron took me to a luxury suite with a balcony on the seventh floor.
"When I consulted the travel agency, the person in charge told me that the luxury
cabins on the fifth floor and above were soldout!" I was surprised."Don't tell me youbought someone
else's room at double the price!"
"Triple," Aaron let go of me and walked tohis backpack.
"Can you get a refund for this money?"Imarveled at his extravagant gesture, rubbingmy wrist as I
watched Aaron open hisbackpack and take out a bunch of things.
Compass, satellite phone, mini first aid kit,nutrition bars.
"I've spent the money, and I am not going toget it back," Aaron repackaged the selecteditems and
handed them to me."Take this suiteand these things. You don't need to cancel theroom you booked,
just sleep there during theDrake Passage travel."
What does that mean? I'l be staying in tworooms by myself. And one of them is a triple-priced suite!
"It's okay if you want to cancel, but the waveson the Drake Passage are quite rough. Youmight vomit
so badly that you can't even getup," Aaron seemed to sense my thoughts andchuckled.
I felt mocked by him.
"Is it really necessary?" I looked at thebackpack in his hand."We won't need somany things from
landing to the researchstation. The outdoor equipment you selectedfor me is already enough!"
"It won't be too heavy. Take it with you, orI'll be worried." Aaron insisted.
After some thought, I took the backpack, but Ireally couldn't accept the suit."Are you sure Ican't
cancel this suite? Can't you contact theoriginal passengers and ask if they're willingto continue
staying?"
"I've arranged another six-star cruise for themfor free," Aaron said lightly as if we were just chatting
about the weather.
"With your level of extravagance, MorrisGroup will go bankrupt sooner or later," Icouldn't help but
make a sarcastic comment.
Aaron didn't care about my sarcasm at all,and he even laughed. He got closer to me,gently gripping
my wrist, and leaned down,looking into my eyes.
"Since you don't want me to accompany you,then promise me that when you leave theteam, you'll
ask the expedition members onthe ship to go with you."
"No problem." I readily agreed."I talked tothe person from the travel agency. There's aprofessional
expedition team on this Explorer.I was planning to discuss this with themlater."
I'm not a rebellious teenager. It's my first timecoming to the South Pole, and I have no
experience with solo wilderness expeditions.Why should I insist on leaving alone?
"I'll go with you now," Aaron said, about togo outside.
I grabbed him and said,"Are you trying to buy time?"
There wasn't much time left before the
Explorer set sail. If he didn't leave soon, hewould have to stay on board.
Aaron's gaze, once again, filled withdispleasure.
It seems that I guessed it right.
Under my supervision, Aaron finally retrievedhis passport and returned to the boarding gate.
"One last thing." He turned around suddenly,staring intently at me.
Before I could react, he stepped forward,wrapped his arms around my neck, and forcefully pressed
his lips against mine.
The warm, moist kiss carried an unmistakable fierceness, and its overwhelming aggression made
me forget to resist, even to breathe.It was a bit cold in Ushuaia at the end of
December. The sea breeze hit our faces as our red and brown hair tangled together in
disarray. I opened my eyes, but I couldn't see anything.
It wasn't until a lot of people started cheering around us that I snapped back to reality and tried to
push Aaron away.
But he released me before I could do so.
"Don't push me away. I'll go by myself."Aaron's eyelids drooped, but I could see the slight redness at
the corners of his eyes.
He seemed more dejected and sorrowful than usual.
With his words, my heart clenched in pain.
Every kiss we had shared in the past was always filled with storm-like desire. But this time, I couldn't
sense any desire at all.
At that moment, I felt like I had grasped something that I had never noticed before.
After the intense passion faded away, what remained of Aaron's feelings for me... what exactly was
it? I stared at his eyes for a longtime, but those captivating blue eyes were like a bottomless well,
concealing their depths.
I could only sense strong emotion, but I didn't know what it was.
"Aaron."
"Bye." Aaron let go of me and turned to get off the ship.
As I watched his receding figure, a sudden urge to chase after him surged within me.
I wanted to ask him what exactly he felt for
me. Why did he have someone else in hisheart but still go to such lengths for me?
I lifted my foot and stepped forward.
"What a beautiful picture. Ma'am, please forgive me for taking a picture of your kiss just now." A
voice stopped me.
I was pulled away from my impulse and halted my steps.
A woman with long blond hair walked towards me with a SLR camera hanging
around her neck. She also held a Polaroid and a photo she just finished in her hands.
I took the photo from her and lowered my head, gazing at the image.
In the warm orange glow of the sunset, A aronand I stood at the boarding gate, embracing and
kissing amid everyone's gaze.
This was the first time I saw myself and Aaron kissing from a third-person perspective.
For a moment, I was slightly stunned.
"You two are a perfect couple!" the photographer lady exclaimed excitedly."Forgive me for asking,
but why isn't your partner traveling with you?"
"He…." I should have explained that he is not my partner, but suddenly I didn't want to give that
explanation."His work doesn't allow it."
"That's such a pity. The South Pole is a spot one must travel to in their life. Anyway, I hope you enjoy
your trip."
I thanked her and returned to my room,holding the photo in my hands - the cab in without a balcony.
I sat on the bed and stared blankly at the photo.
At this moment, I suddenly wanted to call everyone I knew - Cinder, Nick. I wanted to know if I had
been looking at Aaron in this way.
In the photo, my eyes were wide open, and endless affection poured out from those eyes.
No wonder the photographer lady immediately assumed we were a couple.
I collapsed onto the bed, rolling over and burying my face in the sheets.
No wonder Aaron always appeared so
aggressively, refusing to let go no matter what I said.
It was my fault.
It was written all over my face,"Don't leave me."
