Emily Warner
“Oh my god! What happened here? I was gone for 20 minutes.” I heard a booming voice behind me, making me jump a little. I turned around to see a shirtless Carter, with messy hair looking around and trying to figure out if a cyclone went through my kitchen.“I thought I could sit around and mop about Hank or..”“Destroy your kitchen?” He asked and he looked at the mess that I’ve managed to make fifteen minutes after stepping inside the kitchen.“No, I was reading Cosmo and one of the tips to ‘get over a man you’ve never had’ is to cook something for yourself.” I tell him and his mouth falls open when he looks at the horrible excuse of a dough I’ve made.Hey, at least I tried.“Everyday... I really don’t know how… you manage to find a different way to annoy me... every day. Do you have a book?” He asks me as he rubs his face with his hands knowing that he has to clean up the mess.“No, I don’t have a book butRelated chapters

Emily Warner He is not doing this on purpose right? That’s not possible.He is just trying to teach me something.Yes, Emily, don’t try to make anything else of it.My body froze as I felt him dig his nose in my neck. He ran his nose across my neck as I felt him take in my scent, the grip of his hands on mine tightened, pulling me into his chest further.Okay, now he might be trying to do something.“C-Carter, what are you d-doing?” I manage to ask breathlessly, trying to ignore the throbbing of my clit.“I am teaching you something, Emily.” He mutters as he starts peppering kisses on my neck. My head falls back on his chest, as he bites down on my shoulder. Suddenly, he turns me around and claims my lips.I fall limp as he devours them without a warning, like he has been waiting to do this for years. I feel his hands on my ass as he pulls me into him. I could feel the heat of his bare body on mine as he mercil

Emily WarnerI left the kitchen with the phone in my trembling hands, my body and mind kept telling me that I was doing something wrong but I couldn’t stop.I needed to talk to Hank. I sometimes feel it’s easier to pass judgments but till the time you are actually in the position and as hopeless as me, no one would understand.I couldn’t look at Carter and I knew he wouldn’t stop me. He can try to help but he can’t do anything else. The thought of disappointing him gave me a ball in my stomach. I don’t know how I am going to cope after he leaves.It’s not fair. Why do people keep leaving? Why do they enter my life if they have to leave?“Hello, sorry, I got another call.” I say, surprised that Hank was still on the other side. I knew he would never wait for me. I am the one who does such stupid things. Tolerate things that no normal person would.Once I waited on line for half an hour because he got another call.And tha

Emily Warner“Umm… sorry please, I won’t run off.” I mumble but he just laughs like he can read my mind.“Sweetheart, one day you will meet a man who will love you so much where you might doubt his sanity but never his passion. Don’t waste your time on people who make you wonder if they love you or not. It’s just not worth it.” He says as he kisses my forehead.“You don’t understand, I am 29, a man has never fallen in love with me. Ever. No man has ever said I love you to me. I am just not the kind of girl men fall for.” I tell him hating how vulnerable I was in front of him.I have hit a new low.“Okay, I usually don’t do this. I have never really had a deep or meaningful conversation with a person. But with you, I always end up saying what I feel. Usually, I don’t care enough to guide people but you. You are so naïve and pure at heart. I feel the need to protect you.” My heart stopped beating. I couldn’t breathe. I didn’t know what to t

Emily WarnerI decided to dress up a little for my last dinner with Carter before he leaves tomorrow. So far he has only seen me in my sweatpants. I don’t know why but the thought of him leaving is not sitting well with me. He handles me so well, surprisingly he hasn’t hurt my feelings once which are very easy to hurt because I am very fragile.I really thought I made a great friend, apart from all the sexual things that happened between us. Maybe it’s just me, I get so connected to people in such a short time. Some people respond well, like Danika, who also needed someone in her life while some freak out, I can’t honestly blame them.What made me sad is that I know nothing about him, but he knows so much about me. I never considered having a romantic relationship with him even once because I was aware that it wasn’t possible.Even if it wasn’t for his ‘job’, he would never settle, not for a woman like me when he could have anyone in the world. A

Emily Warner“Can I say something?” The words escape my mouth as my brains was still contemplating whether I should say this or not.“Since when do you ask? Please go ahead.” He chuckles as he looks me in the eyes, waiting for me to speak.“Umm okay… umm... I would have liked to know you as a person. I would love to know more about you. If it was possible, I would have liked to see you around me every day. I know this might be very heavy stuff but I really appreciate you tolerating me. Trust me, when I say handful of people actually talk to me nicely and actually can hold conversations with me, without getting bored or spooked.” I tell him as I try to think of a single person before Elizabeth who was actually someone I was close to.“Emily, you don’t have to thank me. I loved spending time with you. You were like 24/7 entertainment for me. I find you very amusing and I am not going to lie, I would have liked to know you better too but I don’t form

Emily WarnerThe loud knocking and my cat meowing in my face woke me up.What the damn hell?“Emily Anne Warner, if you don’t open this damned door in a minute, I swear to god I will knock it down with a bulldozer. I am not kidding you. You haven’t replied to any texts or calls in a week. At least before that you answered my texts. I am not going to leave you alone now.” I sat up straight in my bed as I could hear Danika yelling.Okay, she is mad at me.I quickly got out of my bed and walked out of my room with my cat walking around my legs, almost making me trip. I knew Lucas was gone but a part of me still hoped to see him sipping on his coffee and working on something on my laptop like I did every day for the one week he stayed here.Nope, my apartment was empty and clean.Like he was never here.Emily, you need to move on, it’s been two months, he hasn’t come around but I still stuck to my promise and didn’t

Emily WarnerI swallow hard as I look at the Lachlan enterprise building approaching. I felt Danika rub my back before I got out after saying bye to her. I ignored all my thoughts as walked straight in the building to the cafeteria.I need food to calm my nerves.I avoided greeting people and acted like I was in a hurry. I was in no mood to have small talk about my ‘vacation’. Everyone in the office was just as shocked as me when Hank announced his marriage news. The number of people that came up to me and asked me ‘I thought you weredating Hank’ is countless.Probably everyone knew that I wasn’t on a vacation.“Emily!!! Emily!!!” I look up to see Elizabeth standing in front of me.“Sorry, I think I zoned out.” I tell her but my eyes widen when I see who was approaching us. Elizabeth looked at me confused as her gaze followed mine and landed on Hank.“Emily, I need to see you in my office. I need to talk to you abou

Emily WarnerI miss Carter.I know, I barely know him and I will probably stop missing him after a point, hopefully.I liked how he was genuinely concerned and how he tried to protect me with no ulterior motive. I hate how safe and happy I was around him. I can’t even tell my friends about it.The story sounds so unreal. Also, they would probably be more concerned about the kidnapping part than me ‘missing’ this guy.Emily, don’t you hear yourself, you sound crazy.I find myself always wondering what he might be up to, I find myself worrying about him, I find myself hoping and praying that he’s safe. Given his job, it pretty easy to get hurt or even killed.God, that’s scary.I look at the time and it’s almost seven pm. No, Emily. You are not meeting Hank.But it’s not like Carter will ever find out? Or even come back for that fact? Or do I want to meet Hank to just see if Lucas Carter comes back?God, I
