My Bestfriend's Betrayal

CHAPTER 3

YOU NEED EACH OTHER

"No, I haven't seen him. In fact, I don't know who you are talking about,"Juliana said without blinking and that is when it dawned to Dorah that she was a pathological liar.

How could she lie about not seeing Cooper yet she saw the two of them hugging, earlier on? She cannot be overthinking. It is crystal clear that this b***h wants her man.

I mean, what is the point of lying if someone means nothing to you? There is definately something and Dorah swore to find out what it is.

Juliana has to be interested in him to lie to her and thanks to this, she will make her feel bad about the fancy feelings that she has put in her head so as to bag her longtime crush and obsession, Cooper. She can never be with Cooper. Cooper is all hers now and forever.

Dorah loves Cooper. In fact, what she feel for him is more than love. It is an obsession. She has cleared everything on his path that would be termed as obstacles and actually, this is the right time to ensure that she finally get to be his girlfriend. This is her moment to have him.

Dorah has ensured that he is single hence there is no excuse as to why he should not be with her. She has gone way and beyond to have him want to be with her.

Honestly speaking, Dorah would not be talking to Juliana if it were not for the hug she shared with Cooper. She could see it from where she was standing after stalking Cooper for a long time. She could not help but think what was special about Juliana to make Cooper hug her on the first day? Plus, ever since Daisy, Cooper has never been close to any female. Dorah has been the only one he talks to because the two of them have been childhood friends.

Cooper had never hugged her yet they have been best friends for years. There is something about this girl and she must find out what it is before she goes ahead to steal her man. Dorah was not going to allow her to outsmart her at her own game. She was going to teach her a lesson against taking Cooper away from her. Who is she to allow him to hug her like that? This is Virgin River town and every decision one makes has a consequence.

"Oh, if you have not seen him it's fine. I was planning our anniversary today and I wanted it to be a surprise. He really loves me and he loves when I suprise him," Dorah lied to her and she could her see her face crumble.

Damn, she was right. If she wouldn't have taken the initiative to put her at her place then she would easily steal her man.

"Excuse me, I need to get home to my man, he is in bed waiting for me and I don't want to keep him waiting for long," Dorah mouthed before swinging her hips side to side as she walked towards Cooper's house.

Cooper lived down the street. Dorah was sure that she going to find him there.

It didn't take her long before she knocked on the door of his bachelor pad.

"Hi,"Cooper arched his lips upwards when he saw Dorah. He was disappointed that she showed up. Even if she had been there for her, tonight he wished that he could spend some time alone.

"Hi, how are you?"She asked as her eyes raked his perfect toned abs. Damn! Dorah now understands the intensity of what Daisy was feeling as he smashed her every night. She used to brag to her of how she would rub those abs, turning him on a thousand times as he made love to her.

Heck! She should stop thinking about her already. She is long gone. As for her she is here now and this is her moment to shine. It is her turn to win Cooper's heart.

"How was your day? I was really worried about you,"Dorah said, collapsing on the brown leather coach after he welcomed her in.

"My day was fine. I am suprisingly doing okay,"He shrugged.

"Oh, I see," She scoffed.

"By the way, Dorah, I have to tell you this. You don't have to be around me all the time. I am healing. I am worried about you though. Daisy was very close to you and losing her…It must have hurt you the most. Thank you for being here for me but I think you should take some time away from me. You need to heal too..." He paused because if he went on with the conversation then he would break down. He was not over her already. To mean that what they felt for each other was so deep.

Dorah wished that he would feel the same love that he felt for her. She hoped that he would love her with so much intensity. That aside, he wished for Cooper to open his eyes and look at her as a sexy woman, a model for that matter. Why does he not see her, truly see me the same way he saw Daisy? What is it when it comes to her that blocks him from seeing that she can be a woman that he can date?

"I am okay,"She quickly started when an awkward moment of silence floated in the room because of her silence.

"No you are not and that is why I am going to introduce you to a friend I met today, Juliana. She is yet to start a bakery. I can already tell that the two of you need each other. You can be best friends. Just like you and Daisy,``he said and Dorah was in disbelief.

"No, there is no way I can't be friends with her!" She said sternly. She can't be friends with her biggest enemy in Virgin River.

"You always listen to me, Dorah. Please do as I say and you will thank me later," Cooper insisted.
