One Nightstand With My Ex's Uncle 112
112EMILY’S POV.“That’s fine. Maybe I’ll be able to forgive you if you stop trying to act like we’re still a thing in front of people. The flowers, and the kiss did nothing, but embarrass me.” I said, hoping I didn’t sound flustered.Because I was definitely flustered. I didn’t expect him of all people to apologize.“It’s out of habit. Pardon me.” He said, and I turned around to sleep, raising the blanket over my head because I hated the thought of him staring at me.He chuckled, and I wondered if all the resentment was over between us. Were we no longer enemies? No longer people who hated each other? It felt weird—not being enemies with John.We couldn’t be friends. I was sure of that, but maybe we could be people who didn’t avoid and try to step on each other.It was really weird thinking we could be anything other than angry exes.Maybe I didn’t actually need enemies in my life. Maybe it was what would help my life become better.*We were on the altar, and he had slipped a diamon

111LUCAS’ POV.As my eyes threatened to turn everywhere into black, I felt a hand press my shoulder lightly. It was Tray, and he handed me a bottle of water, which I drank.It made me feel better. The people’s faces focused back into view, and I could see the desperation for answers on each of their faces.“Only when you’re done speaking, will you hear from me.” I said, and they began to caution each other.The few that had gotten to their feet went back to their seats, and it was only when they had stopped talking that I addressed them.“As you all know, I am Lucas Granger, and I am here today on the issue of my nephew, Derel, who has been a victim of rumors and fake pictures.”“Fake pictures?” A woman asked.“Yes, those pictures are not real. They are photo shopped.” I replied, and none of them seemed satisfied.“We already received word that you’ll try to say this. Is this really the only explanation you can offer?” A man questioned.“It was photo shopped, and we will uncover who

110EMILY’S POV.I wiped my wet eyes, not wanting the nasty tears to fall, or for John to see them. It would be embarrassing, and I didn’t want to give him the satisfaction he craved.“I think you should go alone.” I said, wrapping my scarf closer around me.“Why?”“I think I’m having stomach ache. It hurts too much to keep walking. I’ll be in the car.” I said, and began to walk away.He wouldn’t force me to continue with his stupid business idea when my stomach was aching, would he? No way.I got back to the warm car, and leaned backwards in the car seat. If I had married John, would none of the bad things I went through still occur? I didn’t think so, but one thing was sure: Lucas would still come, and I’d find myself attracted to him, then John would start showing his true colors out of jealousy.It was all bound to happen anyway. John couldn’t hide his true colors forever.Minutes later, I saw John at the large gates, talking to two teachers, and I slid down, not wanting any of th

109LUCAS’ POV.“This is a crime, you know?” I shouted to stop them all bickering. They stopped abruptly, looking at me with fear.“If I find that you have something to do with this crazy sexual deep fake, then you will regret it. Trust me when I say you will regret it. You might end up having no jobs forever, and live on the streets begging from house to house, and you might as well spend your life in prison with heavy labor. But if you come out now, take the photos down, and apologize to Derel, my family and the media, then I can reconsider.” I said menacingly, and they looked at each other.“But why are you so convinced one of us did it?” Paris asked.“Because someone told me that one of you has come here for the sole reason of causing my family distress.” I answered, and the annoying silence continued. “Is anyone not willing to talk!?” I bellowed, and Jenny dropped to the floor, holding her chest. It took a minute before we realized she was having a panic attack, due to the fear.

108EMILY’S POV.I shook my head, trying to ignore the heavy nostalgic feeling. I was quick with the sausage, and pasta, and in a little time, it was all done.It snowed all afternoon, and I wondered if it would ever stop.“Isn’t it beautiful?” John asked, and I turned to see him behind me. I looked back, focusing on the glass wall. The beach was completely covered in snow, and the snowflakes reminded me of pretty white flowers.“Yes, it is.” I replied, and he sat next to me on the blanket I had placed on the floor.“Remember how much we both loved the snow.”“I’d prefer if we stayed in the present, and avoid going to the past.”“But I want to. I prefer we go back to the past when everything was perfect. Right now, we’re broken, just like the ice in the beach water. It wouldn’t hurt to go back to the good times.” He said, and I looked at my fingers.It hurt too much to go to the past.“Back then, you were always beautiful, and irresistible with your large head warmers. We’d walk in th

107LUCAS’ POV.“What!?” I asked, and ended the call. How could pornographic pictures of Derel be spread across the net? Why would Derel even have such pictures in the first place? I didn’t even need to do much on my phone before I saw the news headline. It was trending.I clicked on the pictures, with my heart pounding in my ears, and couldn’t believe my eyes. It was disgraceful, disgusting, and unbelievable. The pictures were so much, and the faces of all the different girls were blurred. Only his face, and the immoral acts were shown clearly.“This can’t be.” I said, with a voice that trembled. This was what Tenor meant when she said she heard someone wanting to take down the family through Derel.Well, they had really done their best. Our image had suffered a really huge hit. The Alphas of other packs were definitely bound to discuss among themselves, against us, and if they happened to get too strong, they could diminish our influence.“Damn, damn, damn, Derel, damn.” I muttered,

106EMILY’S POV.When John kissed me, it had been a really weird feeling. Even if I had long forgotten what it felt like to be kissed by him, my lips remembered—the shape of his lips. The tenderness, the gentleness.I couldn’t help having flashes of the numerous times we kissed. The people seemed quite interested in watching us kiss, and just when I began to get frustrated of the kiss, and the unexpected rising feelings; Lucas floated into my mind.We had kissed that night when we first met, and it had been full of sparks. Again we had kissed in front of the water, on Sadie’s school trip. Both times had been something beautiful.Kissing Lucas had butterflies roaming in my belly, and it was funny that I was thinking of kissing him, while being kissed by John. John released me, and I discovered I was smiling.He sat, and chuckled, pleased with himself. I looked at him, then glanced at the people, who had smiles on their faces, as they turned back to what they were doing.“You’re so comp

105LUCAS’ POV.I walked to it, and picked the first one up. It was one of Derel going to school. Derella had been cropped out because the only part of her which I could see was her wrist. The wrist that carried her treasured bracelet.I checked more of the photos, and they all had Derel in them. Some were the ones he had taken himself, or had taken with the help of professional photographers. While the majority were photos of him unaware.It seemed to me that they had been watching, and taking pictures of him unawares.“What are these?” I asked, holding up the photos. Mina bit her lip, looking busted. So Tenor had actually been right? I dropped the photos on the desk, and saw a few envelopes.I picked those up too, and opened a few of them.*Your smile is as radiant as the sun, Derel. Very soon, I’ll gather the courage to come to you.*In the same envelope was a photo of Derel smiling brightly.*Seeing you today, playing basketball was too much for my heart. Each time you threw the b

104EMILY’S POV.I stared at the roses in shock. How could he do something like that to me? In front of everyone! We weren’t even dating, not to talk of being engaged. Why would he give me flowers?We had agreed not to tell the public about our breakup, but we didn’t say we’d lead them on to keep on thinking we were couples.After the applause, people began to whisper.“So romantic.”“Jeez, she must be feeling really lucky.”“I wish I were her.”“Oh my God.”“Perfect. She has the perfect life.”“Has anyone ever given me a letter, not to talk of a rose.”“He’s so romantic, and handsome. He’s everything.”“I bet she’s trying hard not to blush.”“Damn, they look good together.”“If I were in her shoes, I’d kiss him right there…”Right and left, the whispers grew, and John’s perfect smile stayed still on his face. Where did he manage to get the roses? They didn’t seem artificial. I didn’t think flowers would still be that gorgeous with winter covering everything in white.But then, even i
