The Best Friend's Contract novel Chapter 51

Kenna

''I have a question,'' Aidan says, causing me to turn and look at him as we sit on opposite sides from one another on the ferris wheel; watching the crowd below, seeing how humans are rather tiny but we have big dreams while some might even have a big ass sass. ''Why did you break up with Noah?'' He asks.

''You're direct,'' I chuckle as he joins me.

''I mean . . . I know that you broke up with him but you never told me why, I want to know. I'm only seeing this as how I see him; in my own point of view but he seems like a really nice guy, Kenna. He was in love with you. So, why?'' His question seems more off than I expected, not that I didn't expect him to never ask questions like this but the reason why I broke up with Noah was never discussed.

Aidan's right, Noah was or still is a nice guy. He has always been there for me, no matter what or when. He understood me most and he took care of me when I needed him. There was no such thing as giving space when it comes to Noah because when we fight, it'll only last for a few minutes . . . he'd come straight to apologise, even though, sometimes . . . I was the cause of our fights and arguments.

''I'm like the bad guy here, aren't I?'' I smile, playing with my fingers as he continues to look at me; only waiting for my answer.

''I didn't mean it like that,'' He replies. ''I just want to know why,''

''Okay . . . let me just tell you the whole story, then. You know how we met, right? We clicked right away and things just went with the flow; he couldn't keep himself away from me and I had fallen for his charms. He was like no other regular guy because he understood me like no one does, no offence . . . all I'm trying to say is that, he was a great boyfriend.'' I say, earning myself a smile from Aidan. ''I was the cause of our breakup. I didn't want to hurt him,''

He furrow his brows, ''What do you mean?''

I hesitate for a moment before continuing, ''I was always busy. Wait, no . . . I am always busy. Things were going on fine for the first few months but as soon as I got myself occupied with work, I started to spend less time with him. I'd even forget about our dates . . . every time he planned them,'' I reply.
