“So what brings you to the dating sites?” I ask trying to change the subject.“Just trying to get to meet new people, I guess.” He says as the waiter comes in to take the order.I remember Carter telling me that’s code for a guy when he wants to have casual sex. But Jacob said on the dating profile that he was looking for someone to date?“So, what do you do?’ I ask as the waiter leaves after taking our order.“I am a lawyer but I am also a part time scuba instructor.” He says nicely but it wasn’t the same anymore.“I know a lawyer joke.” I say as I was about to tell him one.“Yeah I hear a lot of those.” He interrupts, probably not wanting to hear the lawyer joke, as he laughs along a little too just to be polite.Wow this is so awkward, but still won’t be in my top ten worst dates.This goes on for a while as I could feel myself almost ready to get up and just run away. Every minute passiEmily Warner“I am happy to know that he has talked about me. I can’t wait to meet him after so many months. I miss him so much.” I say normally but the sadness in my tone is audible.“Hello sweetheart.” I feel a hand snake around my waist and a head rests on the nape of my neck, pulling me into a very familiar hug. My breathing stops as my nose inhales the masculine scent I was acquainted with.I scream a little out of joy as I turn around and jump into his arms, wrapping my legs around him as I hear people laughing around me. I hear Lucas chuckle as his hand caresses my hair, hugging me tighter.I break the hug a little to look at his handsome face that I missed for so long. I lay a soft kiss on his lips as he smiles at me before setting me down and greeting the rest of his family.I feel like my heart was going to explode with the amount of happiness that I was experiencing right now. I look around to see Jake and Danika smiling at me, knowingly
Emily Warner“I don’t understand why we are having this celebration.” I say as I pout, wanting to go home and watch a few movies and then fall asleep on my couch.“I thought you would be excited for Christmas!” Jake says as he takes a seat next to me while munching on a few candy canes.“What’s there to be excited? Everyone is here with their boyfriends, families and babies. I am here alone.” I whine as he pats my back in a feeble attempt to console me. Jake and I have grown really close, because apart from Mary, he is the only one I can talk to about the real situation going on with Lucas.Also, because Lucas can’t really risk putting my life in danger so he communicates updates through Jake, who in turn lets me know if he safe or not.“By the way, I was thinking of doing something.” I tell Jake who nods his head. “Like a hobby?”“It can be one if I am successful.” I say and he stops mid-way of his eating and gives me a look. “What c
Emily Warner“So who were all of these other kids you grew up with? Are you still in touch with them?” I ask him excitedly.“Yeah, all of them are like my siblings. We meet for Christmas, thanksgiving and all the big holidays.”“Oh my god. That’s awesome.” I say, surprised at how happy his childhood memories were. When you hear the word orphan, it somehow has such a negative connotation.“Yeah, all of them come to meet Mrs. Carter with their kids and spouses, I always go alone. It’s a running joke that I am going to be a bitter old bachelor.” He says, making me laugh a little at the thought.“So do they know what you do? Are you in touch with them on a regular basis.” I ask him, as I feel my head almost exploding with the number questions in my head.“They know I work in the army, but I manage internal operation. And to answer you second question, they are all busy with their own jobs and family, but if we call each other we talk
Emily Warner“So did you have a heart to heart chat with you boyfriend?” I tease him when I enter the kitchen and see him making some coffee.I could really use a cup of hot coffee. Last night, Danika and I drank a lot as I told her a lot of things about Lucas.“Ha-ha hilarious. But yes, we did talk through lot of things.” He says as he hands me a cup of coffee. I smile and feel happiness when I realize he made a cup for me too.“So did you guys come to a mutual understanding?” I ask as my lips curved into a little smile.“Yeah we both agreed that he is an asshole and I am a jerk.” He says, making me raise my eyebrows. It’s funny when two men argue over childish things.“That’s seems like a grown up thing to do. I am proud of you too.” I say as he flashes me one of his heart melting smiles before sipping on his coffee.Ugh this man is too gorgeous.Imagine waking up to this Adonis every day.“So you met
Emily WarnerI leave the room, completely dressed, after my long phone call with Mary where she explained what Socrates, Odyssey and Olympus is. And also, of course a few thoughts on Lucas.As I exited my room, trying to pull my black dress down as it kept riding up my thick thighs, annoying the hell out of me. This is why I don’t like wearing bodycon dresses, they are so uncomfortable but it does look pretty when I suck my tummy in so…“Hey- why are you wearing your shoes?” I ask him as I look at him standing near the door with keys in his hands.“I am taking you there with me. I’ll leave, once you meet Danika.” He says and just heads out of the door, leaving no room for argument.“I can manage myself okay?!” I say as I follow him, closing the door behind me. “No you can’t.”“Why? Because I am a woman and I am wearing revealing clothes. Let me tell you something Danika and I are fully capable of...”“No sweetheart. Danika is
Emily WarnerI head back home after sitting in the coffee shop and reading a book for three hours, finally when I realized it was six, I decided to head home. According to Lucas, I was on my lunch date with Jacob, obviously I was lying to get a reaction out of him.So I decided to torture him more by making it seem like I spent almost 4-5 hours on this date with Jacob, which would be an indication that things are going well.I am enjoying being in power when it comes to Lucas, I wish I took Mary’s advice sooner. I could have avoided a lot of confusion. After our little session last night, I could see that he wasn’t happy with the fact that I was going out with Jacob again, his face was sullen but if I have to be honest, he deserves it.If he wants me, he should ask me.Thankfully my mom and dad decided to leave and didn’t wait for me as I got enjoy my time with my mom. I was nervous about my father insulting me or mocking me because most
