Emily Warner
I 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 isRelated chapters

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 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“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“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 WarnerI was depressed.I haven’t gotten out of my bed for two days now. Going to sleep knowing that no man is attracted to me and that I am unlovable is now calming to me.I was ashamed, all my friends were in a happy relationship.I was happy for all of them but I hated how jealous I was. I just found out that Elizabeth and Victoria were pregnant, there is something going on with Danika and Jake, lastly Landon was also invested in a girl.And what am I doing you ask?I am sitting in front of the television every night with a bottle of wine and scrolling through happy engagement pictures of Hank Simmons.I lied to everyone, my family, friends and coworkers.

Sit in my bed, crying and making weird ass noises to express the pain I can’t put into words.I think even my cat is worried about me now.Hank Simmons was th

Emily Warner My eyes widened and his hands instinctively covered my mouth as he realized I was about to scream.I tried to fight him off but I think those were like baby punches for him. He just looked at me deep in my eyes as he put a finger on his mouth, almost requesting me not to shout.I looked at him and his eyes were pitch black, he had an unsettlingly symmetrical face as he stood taller to me and possibly taller to my door frame.I took in his clothing and they looked like military tracks and shoes with a forest green t-shirt. They weren’t excessively tight but I could still see his muscles prominently.Maybe he is a military guy who has been wronged even though he is a patriot and loves his country to death.What if he is from a rival nation?Okay I need to stop binge watching on Netflix because this is getting out of hand.I looked up at him, his eyes were on the door but his hand didn’t loosen around my mouth even for a second.I

Emily Warner“So which is why I kind of wished that spilling beans actually meant spilling milk and vice versa because I genuinely think, I am pretty passionate about this matter. It so close to my heart th-" I pour my heart out as he rubs his ridiculously handsome face, probably wondering how we got to this point in our conversation.Honestly I don’t remember either.“No, enough. I can’t do this. I should have taped your mouth instead of your hands.” He says as he unlocks my handcuffs.“Now listen to me, open the door, take the food and then shut it immediately. Without a word. I will be right behind you, out of his sight, so that you don’t try anything.” He tells me, his face close to my ear, making shivers pass down my spine.No man smells this fucking good.“Okay but he will wonder who you are if he sees you.” I say as I take in a deep breath, trying to calm myself down.How bad is it that I am actually not scared of this guy or this situation?
