Forbidden Attraction: In love with my best friend's father

Kira's pov

I watched as Zara ran towards me in excitement and though I expected it, I still almost lost my balance as she jumped on my body.

"Hey, girlfriend!" Zara screamed.

I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Zara had always been the crazy one while I forever remained the calm and reserved one. Well, she had the liberty of being crazy and doing whatever she wanted due to her father's wealth, and talking about her father, my heart did a double jump.

"So how was your journey?" I heard Zara asking and her voice brought me out of my reverie.

"Oh, stressful." I managed to say.

I had been thinking about her dad when she had asked me that question and that was the only thing I could come up with, though the journey was stressful.

"So sorry about that! I told my dad that we should send the private jet to come pick you up but he said he was going to use it to go on a business trip." Zara pouted.

Zara had always been a spoilt brat even before her parent's divorce and she became even more spoilt after the divorce because her father tried to make it up to her by giving in to her every whims and caprices.

"Oh Zara, that would have been too much! You know I am the reserved type." I said.

"Nonsense! Absolute nonsense!" Zara crowned. "You are my best friend and you deserve everything I can offer."

"Except for your father," I muttered under my breath.

"Excuse me? Did you say something?" Zara asked.

"No babes, I was just talking to myself." I denied.

"Hmmm, that's odd." Zara fluttered her eyelids as she directed me toward the black GLE that was waiting for us.

The guard opened the door for me and I entered. I inhaled deeply at the fragrance that assaulted my nostrils.

Zara's father was not a man to spare any expenses when it comes to automobiles and making them feel good when you enter.

"So how is your dad?" I asked Zara.

"He is fine, he will be coming back by Monday which means that we have the whole weekend to ourselves!" Zara answered.

I could not help but smile. Zara's enthusiasm was contagious but I also felt a bit disappointed.

I wanted to see her father Mr. Blake as it has been a long time since I last saw him which was at Zara's eighteenth birthday party before we both got into separate collages.

"You don't seem excited," Zara whined.

"Oh! That's not it, I am excited but it's just that I'm feeling tired and stressed from the journey." I explained.

"So sorry, my bad, I did not think about that but don't you worry, I will allow you to rest for today but tomorrow, we are going to party!" Zara said.

I barely managed to smile but I knew that whether I was excited about the party tomorrow or not, Zara was not giving me the choice to say no.

"Alright, if you say so," I replied.

The drive back to the Wellington's summer estate was silent but quick after that.

I gasped in awe at the sight in front of me. When Zara and I reconnected again through social media and she invited me to come to spend the summer holiday with her in her father's summer home, this was not what I was expecting.

"Beautiful right?" Zara asked.

"It's beyond beautiful Zara, it's stunning!" I exclaimed.

Zara laughed in pure bliss.

"Don't worry, you will get used to it soon," Zara assured.

I nodded my head as that was the only thing I could do at that point.

"So, this is where I am going to be spending the summer holiday." I acknowledged.

"Yeah baby girl, there is a beach at the back owned by my father, tourist come here every year and I promise you it's going to be fun because I will make sure you meet some handsome dude!" Zara announced.

I nearly choked on my saliva as I heard what Zara said.

"No Zara, I came to heal not to jump right into another fire!" I told Zara.

I had just broken up with my longtime boyfriend a week ago when I discovered that he was cheating on me with my roommate in college.

His excuse was that I refused to allow him to have sex with me because I wasn't ready. Looking back now, I'm glad that I did not give in to him.

"On the contrary, that is exactly what you need to do!" Zara countered.

"I'm serious Zara, I want to take a break off guys, they are the last thing I need to complicate my life right now," I told Zara.

"What happened baby girl?" Zara asked me sounding concerned.

By this time, we were already inside the mansion and Zara had led me to a room which I believe was mine because she gestured to the maid who had followed us when we entered the house to put my bag in the wardrobe.

"I take it that this is my room," I said to Zara as soon as the maid left.

"Yep, do you like it?" Zara asked.

"Like is an understatement, Zara, I love it! Thank you so much." I hugged Zara.

"You are welcome, so now, back to my question! What happened between you and Clinton because you guys were the envy of all back in high school." Zara asked again.

I wanted to tell Zara that I was in no mood to explain but knowing who Zara Was and how she would not give up until she got what she wanted I had no choice but to explain.

I started telling her about it and when I was done, she was more angry than I was.

"What a wicked friend! How dare her, if I were in your shoes, I would never forgive her and I would make sure I beat her to a stupor!"

"What do you mean?" I asked her.

"For instance, if someone other than my mother were to think of dating my father, I would deal with that person!" Zara answered.
