My Best Friend's Dad

His Words

Elona's POV

As I continued to sit while my dad had seen Mr Crane out. I was feeling defeated and upset. My eyes caught my book, I leaned forward and brought it closer to me. He had very neat handwriting. One that I would keep and treasure forever. I started to read what he had written.

Love Beyond Reach

In the intricate tapestry of human emotions, there exists a facet that ignites the soul with a fire that defies reason and logic. It is the intoxicating, heart-wrenching, and utterly captivating experience of falling for someone you cannot have. Such a forbidden love transcends societal norms and boundaries, leaving you in a whirlwind of intense emotions that threaten to consume your very essence.

A chance encounter, a stolen glance, and a heart that betrays all reason. The story begins innocently enough, a narrative spun by the impulse of fate. Two souls, entwined by destiny, yet bound by the shackles of circumstance. It is in this complexity that the true essence of forbidden love takes root.

The object of your affection, the one who fuels the fire within you, is tantalizingly out of reach. Perhaps they belong to another, already committed to a love that predates your entrance into their life. Or maybe, their heart harbors secrets they dare not reveal, unless the world crumbles around them. In either case, you find yourself at the mercy of an unrelenting desire that gnaws at your very core.

Every stolen moment, every fleeting touch becomes a treasure, cherished and hoarded away in the depths of your soul. You walk a tightrope, teetering on the edge of self-control, struggling to keep your emotions in check. The simplest gestures from them, a smile, a word, a casual touch that sends ripples through your heart, threatening to drown you in a sea of longing.

The agony of forbidden love is etched into every fiber of your being. It is a constant battle between heart and mind, desire and morality. You question the righteousness of your feelings, tormented by the knowledge that pursuing this love could cause immeasurable pain to those around you. Yet, you are powerless to resist the gravitational pull of your emotions.

As the days turn into weeks and months, you find yourself entangled in a web of secret meetings and whispered confessions. The thrill of the forbidden intensifies your passion, like a drug that both poisons and exhilarates. Each stolen kiss, each secret rendezvous, is a testament to the depths of your love and the lengths to which you are willing to go to be with them.

But there is a price to pay for such love. It is a price measured in stolen moments, hidden tears, and shattered dreams. It is a love that exists in the shadows, forever denied the light of day. And as the world outside continues to spin, your love remains a silent, pulsating ache in the recesses of your heart.

In the end, the forbidden love you cannot have becomes a haunting melody, a bittersweet symphony that plays endlessly in your soul. It is a reminder that some loves are destined to remain unfulfilled, that the heart can be a cruel master, demanding that which it cannot possess.

And so, you are left with a choice. Do you continue to dance on the brink of forbidden love, risking everything for a chance at happiness? Or do you summon the strength to let go, to release the object of your affection, and find solace in the knowledge that, in love, sometimes the most profound acts of courage come from walking away?

In the end, it is a choice that only you can make, a decision that will shape the course of your life and define the depth of your character. But one thing is certain, the memory of that forbidden love, the intensity of the emotions it stirred within you, will linger in your heart, a touching reminder of the power of love, even in its most forbidden form.

I leaned against the back of the chair as I let out a breath, my feelings heightened by this essay that he had written. Was that meant for us? Me? I wanted to know but I think that I would just not make a fool of myself again, so I will keep a distance.

"How was the tutor session?" My dad asked as he entered the kitchen. I closed my book so that my dad wouldn't see it, although he wouldn't know anything. I had to make sure that my original essay was destroyed.

"It was okay, he helped me where I was stuck and this is for a competition. I do think that Cris has a better essay, she wrote about her mom," I said as I looked over to my dad. He was standing behind the kitchen counter and sipping his coffee.

"That must have been difficult for her to write. They were a very close-knit family. I do hope to see that Tristan has someone in his life. I am taking him to the bar tomorrow evening just to catch up. I think we both need it. Who knows, maybe he will run into someone," my father smirked. My stomach sank at that.

"How about you?" I asked.

"I'm okay. I live for my work and for you. Maybe some day I will make that move." he shrugged.

"I want to go into modeling," I blurted out.

"Are you sure about that?" he asked.

"Yeah, I have been doing my research and I will be applying. I also need to do a photoshoot so that I have my portfolio," I added.

He chuckled, "I had always thought that you would end up being a model. I never told anyone that. I will support you with whatever you want to do, but not anything that will break my heart," he said.

"Thank you, dad," I smiled.

"I think that Tristan might know about agencies, his company has partners on board with all these kinds of things. But find out by him, he will know."

"I might just do that," I replied, but in actual truth, I won't...I do not want Tristan Crane to know that. "I guess I will go upstairs and go over this essay," I stood up and grabbed my things from the table and then I walked to the stairs.

He is the last person that I would ever tell about my modeling. I won't even ask him about agencies, I can do that all by myself as I have been doing so far. He can see me in magazines or runways when I am there.
