I saw my girlfriend and my best friend meeting in secret – I wish I’d known the reason
Meeting Jessica has been the best thing that ever happened to me. She’s fun, energetic, and the most lovable person I’ve ever known. But there was always one thing that didn’t quite add up—her relationship with my best friend, Elone.
From day one, the two of them rubbed each other the wrong way. She thought he was too sarcastic; he thought she was too judgmental. Any time the three of us hung out, I ended up doing all the talking while they exchanged eye rolls like it was their own private language.
So imagine my shock when, one Saturday, I spotted them sitting together at a café while I was out running errands. They weren’t arguing. They weren’t rolling their eyes. They were…laughing over lattes.
I expected Jessica to mention it when she got home—“Hey, guess who I ran into today?”—but she didn’t say a word. And she kept getting these secretive texts over the next few days, smiling at her phone and flipping it face-down whenever I walked by.
My mind was racing, but I couldn’t bring myself to confront either of them.
Then, we all ended up at a mutual friend’s wedding. Even there, Jessica and Elone seemed unusually close. When I saw them talking quietly in a corner, something in me snapped.
“What the hell is going on between you two?” I demanded.
Jessica opened her mouth to speak—then suddenly, the lights dimmed, and a spotlight washed over us.
