Chapter 306 My Best Friend’s Pain

Madeline's POV

"What?" I asked in disbelief as I looked at Gina.

"Yes, I lied to Jack, I broke up with him because I know until now he is still in love with you, Madeline." My best friend said as she sat across from me in the gazebo located on the east side of the garden.

I was carrying my son in my arms since he fell asleep after he finished drinking his milk, we were waiting for my husband and I couldn't wait to see Hunter.

"That is ridiculous, Gina," I responded.

"I know you will not believe me, but after you got shot, I realized how much you mean to him, he didn't make love to me even once even if I was staying at his place the whole time I was in Archois," Gina said, and I felt so guilty as I looked at her.

"My mom was upset that I only visited them for how many hours, and I didn't even bother to stay even for one night in our house." She added.

"We hadn't seen each other for a long while, and I was expecting he will make love to me because I miss him so much, and I ended up broken-hearted, it wasn't only about that thing, he didn't even kiss me the way a boyfriend should kiss his girlfriend after a long while of not seeing each other." Gina continued.

"I am sorry, Gina, I was so focused on my injury that I didn't even notice you were suffering, I felt so useless as your best friend," I responded as I looked at her, but she was averting my gaze.

Gina was looking at the butterflies flying around the garden after they seeped the nectar of the flowers.

"Hey, that is not true, Maddie, you had done enough for me, and it was all my fault, I should have never shown him that I wanted him so much, and I knew he only asked me out because of you; he wanted to forget you, but failed miserably." She replied, and then she turned her gaze to me.

"You are so brave, Gina, I am so proud of you, but lying is not a good thing," I mumbled.

"It was only a white lie, Madeline, I wished to let him go, and set him free, he wasn't happy with me, he better finds someone else, maybe he will find someone that will make him forget about you." She answered.

"I have no regrets for having him as my boyfriend, even if most of the time I was the only one who made an extra effort for our relationship to work. I was happy even if I knew it was a one-sided love affair. I am so thankful to Jack, he made me experience my first love with him." Gina said with a smile.

I felt a little worried for my best friend since she was trying her best to look strong even if I know deep inside her heart she was hurting and she couldn't hide it from me, she was in too much pain.

"I will never forget him, especially the sweet moments I shared with him, and most of all his kisses, God knows how much I wanted to be in his arms, but I don't want him to suffer because of me." She added as she stood up and turned her back on me and watched the three-tier water fountain in which the water was flowing endlessly at the center of the garden.

"I know he is such a good person, and he will never break up with me even if he doesn't want me anymore, and do you know what is the saddest part? I became more drawn to him, but I don't want to be selfish, Madeline."She added as she turned around and looked at me.

She walked closer to me, and this time Gina could no longer hide her pain, I could see the tears that flowed down her cheeks like waterfalls.

"Oh, Gina, you should not break up with Jack if you will only become this miserable, how could you do this to yourself?" I asked, and she was shaking her head as she looked at me.

"Don't worry, just allow me to cry, Madeline, I am tired of being strong, for once, I want to succumb to my loneliness and sadness. I want to embrace how I feel inside my heart, I am tired of being a hypocrite for telling you I am okay when I am not." She said while I slowly put my son on his portable crib.

I took Gina in my arms and caressed her back, I let her cry and sob and asked her to pour her negative emotions, and she wailed until there is no single tear left, and I could see how swollen her eyes were after I released her from my embrace.

"You are not a hypocrite, Gina, you are only trying to be a good friend, you don't want me to worry about you, but you have to be honest with me because I am your best friend, I always tell you how I feel and think, you have to give me a chance to comfort you, you had been doing it for me for how many years." I declared as I wiped her tears with my fingers.

"I love you more than a sister, and you know that, I wanted you to be happy, and I wished to tell you, you are the bravest and unselfish woman I know, and I am so proud being your best friend, not everyone is capable of being selfless, Gina," I added.

"I guess, I got this trait from you," she replied and I laughed.

"No, that is what you are, and maybe that is why we are best friends," I said as I looked at her face.

"Thank you, Madeline, I don't know what to do without you, you always give me courage and strength, and you are my guiding light in my darkest moment." She responded.

"You don't need to thank me, Gina, that's what best friends are for, I will always be here for you," I replied, and we both fell silent, and even in silence we can still communicate with each other, and I will do everything I can to help her get over with Jack.

My husband joined us in the gazebo and I could see the worried look on his face as he looked at Gina after he kissed me on my lips. And it felt like our son, Frank Luis knew his father has arrived since he woke up from his sleep, and Hunter excitedly took him from the crib and carried him in his arms.

I felt so happy to see my husband, but I couldn't stop worrying about Gina. My best friend excused herself after she said hi to Hunter.

"I missed you, my love," Hunter whispered as he inhaled my neck, and his breath make my entire body on fire.

"I missed you more, my love," I answered as I linked my arm with his.

"Is Gina doing fine?" Hunter asked the moment we got inside our bedroom.

"No, she isn't fine, my love, but I know she will be okay," I responded.

"I heard she has a boyfriend," my husband said.

"Who told you that?" I asked and my husband was silent.

"You came to Jack's restaurant?" I asked and looked at him and I could see the guilt on my husband's face.

"I am sorry, I know, I should not intervene, but I know you are worried about Gina. I only went to his restaurant to dine, and I asked for Jack to see him." Hunter responded.

"But you have to believe me, my love, I didn't ask Jack anything about Gina. He told me that Gina broke up with him because she found someone else, and I felt relieved you don't need to worry about your friend, and I don't want to pry, but it seemed to me she wasn't doing fine." My husband said.

"Yeah, she is still in love with Jack, but she needed to let him go because she knew, their relationship is not going anywhere, and Gina knew Jack is not happy anymore," I replied.

"That is sad, but I know Gina will be fine, she is a strong woman," my husband stated.

"Yes, she will," I agreed with my husband.

"Now, I think I should let you know how much I missed you, my Madeline," he said as he started undressing me, and my excitement was killing me.

My husband was kissing my neck down to my collarbone as I felt his hand caressing my thigh, and I unbuttoned his jeans and tugged his zipper down, and just watching the outline of my husband's manhood beneath his underwear made me ache between my legs.

I am still in awe as I watched how big Hunter is, and I couldn't wait to have him inside me.

"I am so lucky for having you as my wife, Madeline," he whispered before he took my earlobe into his mouth.

"I am the luckiest woman too, for having you as my husband, Hunter," I responded, and I groaned as he pressed his stiff rod into my belly, and his intoxicating scent was making me nuts, and I closed my eyes when Hunter tugged down my dress and discarded my bra in an instant.

My nipples are already as hard as steel as he danced his tongue on my body lower until he reach my supple breast I arched my back to give him more access and pulled down his boxer briefs and I swallowed my saliva when I held his manhood in my hand.

"Oh, Maddie, you are driving me crazy," he said as he stared at my naked body.

I yelped when my husband carried me and I was giggling as Hunter gently settled my body on the bed like I am a fragile glass. I smiled seductively at my husband knowing it would be a long night for us.

I couldn't wait for him to take me to a place just for the two of us, and I couldn't stop drooling over my husband's hot body as I gaped at his nakedness, and when he started kissing me from my feet higher, I know it would not be long before I will be screaming his name in ecstasy.
