His Addiction

Chapter 13 ✔

Jaxon's POV

I hear a knock on the door of my study, before the person on the other side pushes it open without waiting for my response and I know who it is already. Marco walks into my study in his usual carefree and goofy manner and taking a sit in front of me. "What's up Jaxon?" He asks quirking one of his brows up, while I let out a frustrated sigh.

"I don't know man, I feel like a fool for letting Regina go...I don't even know if I did the wrong thing or the right thing." I say solemnly. Marco has been my friend since we were little, when he finished with culinary school a few years back I asked him to come work for me. Meaning we get to see each other more often, he's also been planning on opening his own restaurant for a while now.

His family and mine were very close since we lived across each other in our old neighborhood before my father made a name for himself through our renowned company. Only butler Humphreys knows how close we are, the other employees thinks he's just the chef.

The first time I talked to him about my growing attraction and feelings for Regina, he goofed around a little before asking me to follow my heart which led me to confessing to Regina the previous night and led us to where we currently are right now. "Mierda Jaxon, qué planeas hacer ahora?" [Shit jaxon, what do you plan on doing now?] He exclaims empathetically.

I sigh for the nth time since this whole thing happened, I understood what he said, Marco has been speaking Spanish to me ever since we've been kids, so I've gotten to learn the language but I'm not so fluent in speaking. Despite being born in the US, his parents made Spanish their official language for Marco and his siblings so they don't lose their Latino side.

"I'm really confused dude, but I gave her sufficient cash though so I'm sure she won't lack much until she stabilizes herself." I say sitting straight in my seat. "Ese no es el punto aquí, Jaxon, realmente lastimaste a esa chica y no sé si alguna vez perdonará tu estúpido culo confundido."[That's not the point here Jaxon, you really hurt that girl and I don't know if she will ever forgive your stupid confused ass] Marco deadpans.

"I know man I'm stupid, but whatever comes outta this, I'm ready to bear the consequences. I'll just continue doing my thing." I say faking nonchalance.

"Your thing....which means you continue to be a manwhore?" Marco counters while I roll me eyes at him. "Go back to the kitchen Marco, I'm tired of talking about this...I need to gather my thoughts first of all." I state boredly.

Marco sighs, giving me an 'whatever man' before walking out of my study and leaving me to ponder and cuss myself more on what I did to Regina, which is the exact thing I do. I had already told Marco everything that went down with Regina and Fiona my assistant this morning when I went to get coffee.

I also told him what I planned to do and my reasons for doing so. He called me a jerk and asked me not to act rashly but I did anyway. Marco is that kind of friends that advises you and let's you do your thing but totally supports you no matter the outcome. That doesn't mean he's not going to call you out on your errors, He's just the way he is and I'm lucky to have someone like him as a friend.
