The Best Man novel Chapter 29

Olivia's POV

Stuck.

Watching Nathan in the kitchen was definitely something I could get used to because he made a simple thing like making breakfast look so incredibly sexy. He was just really sweet and caring, and I realized that having him around wasn't such a bad idea after all.

I'm still heavily medicated in case you're wondering, and I might be blowing things out of proportion a bit

"So, how are you feeling today?", he asked, giving me my second cup of coffee for the day after the hearty breakfast he just made us and I took a sip

"Better than yesterday"

"And by yesterday you mean the part of the day before I got here, right?", there was humor in his voice and I laughed a little

"Well yeah, your presence really helped.....here and there", I winked at him, and he smiled while biting his lower lip seductively

"I'm glad to have been of assistance", he placed his cup in the sink and rinsed it.

"I got a go though, I have a patient in an hour and I still have to change into a fresh set of clothes", he kissed me on the cheek

"Okay"

"Let me just grab my things I left in the bedroom", he said, and I gave a nod and watched him walk away. I was about to stand up to go watch some TV before hearing the front door opening and closing.

"Liv?", the sound of Anna's voice echoed around the room and I felt like shrinking underneath the earth or something

"Are you awake?"

Nathan is also in the next room. How am I going to get out of this?

Fuck!!

"Hey", I walked out of the kitchen, and she smiled while hopping excitedly towards me to engulf me in a tight hug

"I'm so glad to see you on your own two feet again", she held me at arms length after we broke away from the hug. I was still tensed up, praying that Nathan doesn't show up just yet until I can usher her out of here as soon as I could without her noticing anything.

"How are you-"

"Liv, have you by chance seen where I- Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realize you had company", Nathan was halfway through his question as he walked in on me and Anna, who's lips were slightly parted in surprise

"Throw me down the stairs", she uttered under her breath from the sight of him and how good-looking he actually is before she turned her head to look at me with her eyebrow raise. That questioning look at made me want to hide under a table or something to avoid the questions that are coming my direction. I lowered my gaze to avoid ever making eye contact with the both of them.

"Hi, I'm Anna", she extended her arm towards Nathan, and he placed his hand in hers. "I'm Olivia's female best friend"

"You're sleeping with your psychologist?", she air quoted before she folded her arms again. "Also, why is it that am I only hearing about you seeing a psychologist now?"

"It's not what it looked like", I attempted to stand up cause her piercing gaze was literally burning through me, but she forced me back on the couch

"Sit your lying and secretive ass down", she demanded and my eyes widened before I cradled my feet to my chest, she looked scarier by the second

"Have you been always such a bully?"

"I'm not playing with you, Liv. Talk".

"Bleh bleh bleh?", I stuck my tounge out, and she grabbed one of the cushions on my couch to hit me with it and I shielded my face with my hands

"I will knock you the fuck out"

"Okay fine I'll talk", I shifted to the side, creating space for her to sit next to me. "But you might want to sit down for this"

"I even have to sit down?", she exclaimed as she sat next to me and nudged me with her elbow. "Okay, I'm seated now talk"

"Okay so, remember that one-night stand I had a few weeks ago?"
