Emily Warner
“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.

Emily Warner“Oh my god! Mom!” I say as I hug her, “How long have you guys been standing here?” I ask as I hug her and she smiles and I see my father standing behind her.“Just 15 minutes, the security guard said you are not at home so we have to wait.” She says and I nod as I feel nervousness creeping inside me.Carter was at home.“Where were you?” She asked me as she embraced my hair. “Uh-““On a date probably.” My father jokes laughing at his own joke. I flash them a sheepish smile as I lead them in my building to my apartment.My mother is an angel, my father is… well… not an angel.I wouldn’t say that he bullied me, but he likes making fun of me, he enjoys making jokes and laughing at my expense.I played with my fingers as the elevator rode up, I wish Lucas wasn’t at home, I have no idea how I would explain his presence in my apartment.“Sorry to show up unannounced but we haven’t talked in a month, w

Emily Warner“Wow, I guess I finally figured out why Emily has such a big problem with confidence. When your own father doesn’t believe in you, why would you expect anyone else to?” Lucas says out of nowhere, stunning me as my mom’s face lights up.“Yes exactly! You are right. I’ve been telling her father this for years now. The only reason she makes jokes about herself and has such a self-deprecating personality is because of how she was treated at home. He thinks it’s funny to have her sit in front of him and pick apart each and every thing about her that he finds faulty. He thought that would help her.” My mom says, almost getting emotional.No one listens to her.“I can understand Mrs. Warner. I think your daughter, despite of all these comments and constant criticism has grown up to be a wonderful woman.” Lucas says as he holds my mother’s hand as she nods, holding back a few tears.“So what do you do? What’s your name? Why are you h

Emily WarnerAs I roam around the room, I was fuming, waiting for him to get out of the shower.What the hell does he think he is doing? I mean, I appreciate him standing up to my dad and making a decent conversation with my mom but it was a little unnecessary to lie to my parents about him being my boyfriend.It will just complicate things.Also, why does he still get angry whenever someone mentions Hank? It’s like a nerve is struck every time Hank’s name is taken.Aren’t we supposed to move on? Isn’t he supposed to help me find a man? What is he doing? If he keeps touching me and kissing me all the time how will I ever move on?I wish I could just read his mind? It’s so mysterious. There are still like a billion things I don’t know about him. My feet stop in track when I realize we are going to have to sleep on the same bed and if I know Carter well enough, he is not a gentleman who would take the couch, not with me for sure.

Emily Warner“Just tell me what you want Carter.” I say confidently, making him grin. Why is he enjoying this so much?“I just want to fuck you again. Watch you moan hard as I pump into that tight little thing.” I gasp as I hear his words. My mind went blank as I couldn’t process the next thing I want to say.“Lucas.” I mumble as I feel him coming near me and putting his hands on my waist. “Yes, sweetheart.” He breathes out as his big hands start rubbing the side of my body. Jesus.“How is this a good idea?” I ask as I look up at him in his eyes to which he groans a little, pulling my body further into him.“I don’t know and honestly I don’t give a fuck. I just need to be inside you. Just thinking about you drives me crazy.” His words made me feel like he had such power over me. He can just say a few things and I will readily agree to do anything.I could feel his breath as we were about to kiss when a few knocks on my door break our

Emily Warner“Oh my god! Who is sending these flowers?” My mom asks as a huge beautiful pink and red bouquet is delivered at my door, Carter sneakily removes the note from the bouquet before my mom could see it and hands it to be.How does he do it so smoothly, I would have tripped like ten times trying to be slick?“That’s from me, I like sending Emily flowers out of nowhere.” He gives my mom, one of his heart melting smile as she says aw and buys his story.I quickly open the note and my mouth falls open. You got to be kidding me‘Emily I really can’t get you out of my head. It would mean the world to me if we could meet again and you can give me a chance to get to know you better. Maybe I can be less envious this time’Your ardent admirer Jacob"What the hell the date was so bad it can’t be all because you showed up" I whisper to Lucas as my mom walks out of the living room to the kitchen to make some breakfast

Emily Warner“Emily, you are here finally. Elizabeth has been looking all- Woah you are crying?” Nathan says as he looks around not knowing what to do, “You know what, let me call Elizabeth.”“Actually Nathan I’ll deal with her. I know why she is crying.” My eyebrows raise as I see Jake smiling at me as he leads me inside, “Her cat- umm- her cat-““Is sad, like depressed and there are apparently no cat therapist so I called the-“ I complete Jake’s sentence but Nathan just looked at me with raised eyebrows, not buying my awesome story.“How about this? I’ll come back to you in half an hour when you have a better story prepared?” He asked me in a serious tone.“Yes boss, I can do that.” I say as I salute him for some reason and he laughs before walking away.I get nervous around Nathan, he is my best friend’s husband but he is my boss first.“Emily, I know you are really emotional right now but you can’t tell Elizabethan a

Emily WarnerI came home after two hour chat with Mary. I felt like I finally met someone who understands me and doesn’t look at me with pity in her eyes, she knows exactly what I am talking about and where I am coming from.She made me jot down points on a notepad because I would for sure forget them, I was surprised at how predictable I am. I kept telling her that Lucas would never get jealous and he would see through my tactics. But she laughed at me and said that I don’t know how men work.I still think I should warn Lucas once before I start the plan that Mary laid out for me so carefully. I hate how connected I am to him, I don’t want to make him feel bad.But Mary was very stern with me and said that I have to hold my ground if I want to give Lucas a taste of his own medicine. She said he can’t go around playing with me.But still… he is such a sweet guy…“Lucas!” I call him out as I drop my keys and phone on the coffee ta

Emily Warner“Also if you don’t mind, since we have ended things between us on such good note, you might leave soon and last night, my mother interrupted us…” I say shyly looking down at the floor, drawing circles with my fingers.“Yes?” He asks, as I see him anticipating my next words. “You know-“ I say too embarrassed to say the whole thing.“Emily, sweetheart, you have to speak up. I don’t want to make assumptions.” He groans as he stares at my completely red face now.This is so embarrassing, but I have to take charge.I get up from my seat and walk towards him, I see him sitting up straighter, not knowing what my next move could possibly be. I put legs on either of his side and I sit on his lap, making his hands go around my waist to stop me from falling.“I will miss this, us… you.” I say as I look into his deep black eyes, I squirm a little when I feel his grip on my waist tightening.I move my hips around a little on
