One Nightstand With My Ex's Uncle 21
21EMILY’S POVOuch.I couldn’t deny the stinging sensation in my chest, as I watched them. In my head, the girl changed to me, and it was me and John again, brimming with love for each other as we kissed. I wanted to tear my eyes off them, I really wanted to, but I couldn’t. My eyes were stuck staring at them. I didn’t want them to see me staring, but…Damn. Even though all the feelings left in me for John was hatred, I still couldn’t help feeling hurt.Maybe I connected with the part of me that had been in love with John. Staring at him kissing the girl madly, made me wonder if I was just another girl. It made me wonder if I was just a stand-in. A default person to always go to whenever he needed someone.Those lips he had kissed me with… he was kissing someone else with them… Everything about it seemed wrong.If I thought about it all, it was too painful. If his love had been fake, if our moments had been fake… if… if my idea of his feelings towards me had been fake…I blinked hard

22LUCAS’ POV.“Wait… You need to breathe. You need to calm down.” I said, dropping my notepad, on which I had been jotting down new tech ideas.She plastered a hand against the window with wide eyes, trying to breathe.“No… no, please take me off. I can’t stay here, I’m going to start screaming. I’m going to. I can’t… I can’t breathe.” She said, looking around frantically.I went to her immediately, and pulled off her jacket, which was heavy, and could contribute to her feelings of suffocation.“Wait a sec. Wait…”She tapped my shoulders, trying to get to her feet, but I stopped her.Tears welled up in her eyes, and she couldn’t even speak. She kept on trying hard to breathe, and it seemed to be getting harder, and more intense.Her mouth stayed open, in an attempt to let air in, and I got really scared. We were high in the sky, and I had no idea on how to calm her down because I knew people didn’t get down from Ferris wheels on ropes.“Breathe, please, breathe…” I said, getting more

23EMILY’S POV.Nothing… Nothing…The way he had casually said it made me feel like a fool. The fool for loving him, for being with him. All those moments had been fake.How could a person act so well? How could he have fooled me so well that I didn’t even know about it?It was unfair.It felt like my heart was being pricked horribly by a needle—like it was being cut mercilessly by a surgeon’s scalpel.I had never hated John more at that moment. To think that I had almost married a man like that was sickening.He and his family were alike. Rude, arrogant—only doing the things they wanted, without caring if it was wrong or right, or if they were hurting others. But then, what did I expect? Did I expect him to say it meant something to him?Or that those times were his best times? What exactly had I been expecting? Why did I even ask that question?Thinking about it, it was a little weird…Like… Wow… the John I had known all along was fake. This was the real one, and for years, I hadn’t

24LUCAS’ POVI stared at Stephanie speechlessly, and immediately bent to her, trying to see if she was still breathing.“Damn.” I muttered, realizing she wasn’t breathing, and lifted her into my arms. She was quite heavy for a woman, and I had to grunt to adjust her properly in my arms.Then, I placed her back into the car, and got in, trying to drive to the nearest hospital. I didn’t know if she had a medical condition, but if anything happened to her, I could easily be blamed, and apart from being blamed, I’d feel terribly guilty.I hated being around victims. Somehow, my mind always found a way to blame me for their condition. Crazy, isn’t it?Damn…There seemed to be traffic on the road, and I kept glancing back at her, to ensure she didn’t fall off or stop breathing.No matter how I disliked her, I didn’t wish for her death. This was the second time she was showing signs of being a weakling—something I hated in women.They all thought they had to be weak to be perfectly feminine

25EMILY’S POV.I sprang to my feet, staring at the smashed laptop in disbelief. What had just happened? Was it really John’s laptop that had been smashed to the floor?Why would she do that!?“Why would you do that?” I asked hotly, turning to her, but the only thing she did was glare at me, like I was the one who had done something wrong.I was confused.“If you answer my question, then I’ll answer yours.” She replied haughtily, “Why would you do such a thing?” She asked, leaving me in more confusion than I had been.“Why would I do what?” I asked, my brows knitting together.“How could you even think in all your lowliness to raise your voice on John? I mean… each time I hear how it all played out, I get mad. I boil with so much rage that it feels like I’ll go crazy if I don’t do something drastic.” She spat out, using her hand gestures to show how she felt.“And what is so bad about that? People raise their voices when they get mad, they…”“Not you! Not to John. He’s a freaking Alph

26LUCAS’ POV.I decided to wait, and listen to whatever it was that Stephanie had to say. She finally got to me, and laid her hands on her knees, panting.She looked as if she had chased after me immediately I left. She was in an apricot satin shirt, and shorts. The design made me aware it was her nightclothes. Then, she wore a long red coat over it.Finally, she raised her head, and looked at me, still breathing hard. Her eyes shone with tears.“I’m sorry. Okay?” She swallowed. “I’m truly sorry. I admit I was cheap, brazen, and… disgusting, but… I don’t know. I just… I’m really sorry.” She said, still breathing hard, and her tears became larger bubbles in her eyes.I had to admit I was taken aback. Was she really apologizing?“I took some time to reflect on myself, and discovered the reason for my short-term relationships. Maybe I needed someone like you to tell me the harsh truth. No…nobody bothered to tell me, you know. It hurts to hear it from someone I really like, but perhaps i

27EMILY’S POV.I stared at Katie for a while, who looked like she had a thousand things on her mind. Could she be feeling guilty about sleeping with John? Thinking about it, she had been really shocked when I caught her sleeping with John.She looked at me with fear afterward. Had she been masking her remorse and guilt? Because she was nothing like Mandy. She was more laid back, and calm, and didn’t look like she liked much trouble.Had John forced her to sleep with him? Did he prey on her, and threaten her with something else? No, she seemed quite close with John. She and Mandy called him by his name, and John said he trusted his secretary more than he trusted me.She looked away from the window, and accidentally spotted me staring. She blinked once, and got to her feet.Her head lowered in a little bow, and she gracefully walked away in her black shirt, and fitted white skirt.“What are you thinking? It doesn’t change the fact that John cheated on you with her, and she sounded like

EMILY’S POVSeeing how I broke into uncontrollable tears over something that ought to have caused me to simply bite my lip, and grunt in anger; I finally realized how much I was hurting.I had been telling myself I was fine, and had pushed down my hurt by trying to encourage myself.I wasn’t fine. No, not at all. I was hurt, and broken in the worst way. John had gotten to me after all. Everything about my life sucked. I just wanted to wake up, and realize it had all just been a horrible nightmare.My tears streamed down my face hotly, and it seemed like they emitted steam that heated my whole face.The maids looked puzzled, as they tried to console me.They were probably wondering why I was crying so hard over papers.I want to go home, I wish to leave. Damn, I hate John! I hate everything! Aaaah! Why’s my life so messed up? Three years is a long hell of a time. Three good years living with such an idiot, I couldn’t keep the words blasting from all corners of my mind.Would I ever be

96EMILY’S POV.“I… don’t know.” I said and she raised a brow. I couldn’t recall if I ever asked myself that question, but at the moment, I was. Did I like Lucas as more than a friend? Or did I just feel too free around him?One thing I knew was that I liked him than I ever liked all my friends, and at the moment, I liked him more than I liked John.“I don’t know if I like him that way, but if I do, and do not know about it yet, then I’ll try my best to stop it. I know it’s not right.” I said, fiddling with my fingers, hoping that saving her life accidentally would be enough to make her take my side.“You know, it was a big shame when you broke off the engagement with John. I thought of all the marriages we declined, and all the people who knew about it, but it was even a bigger shame seeing John’s unfaithful and disgusting chat exposed in such a manner. John does not worth you. Any man who stoops so low to cheat, does not deserve his woman, not if she’s cheating too.“But, as of this

95LUCAS’ POV.I wondered what Lady Genevieve had to say to Emily, but it couldn’t have been anything bad. After all, she had been the one to discover her, and call for help.Raymond had insisted it wasn’t thanks to her, but instead, it was thanks to him who had told Emily to find her. Had it been someone like Mandy, she could have left Lady Genevieve there. Emily had a choice to open the door after knocking, and she also had a choice to leave, and search elsewhere.“Did you come with Emily?” John asked me, as I made to leave.“Why do you ask?” I asked, and he gave a scoff.“Mere curiosity.”“No.”“You didn’t come with her?” He asked.He continued, “Why do you always stay close to her? I mean, you guys are always together most of the time. What’s going on between you both?” He asked me.“I thought we were over this.” I said, pressing the button of the elevator.“No, we aren’t. Emily is my—We’re not married at the moment, or dating, but I believe she will come back to me. But if she ke

94EMILY’S POV.I dashed to her immediately I saw her sprawled in that unnatural angle. Her eyeglasses seemed to have broken, and I wondered how hard she fell.“Lady Genevieve, Lady Genevieve!” I called to check for any signs of consciousness. It seemed she had passed out completely. I placed my head on her chest gently to see if her heart was still beating. It was.I got up, and ran out the door.“Help! Lady Genevieve fainted!” I called out, and the maids stationed around her room, ran to me. Together, we all lifted her. It turned out she had a lot of weight, and we struggled to lift her out.We decided to go through the back exit, as it was closer to us.More maids who saw us, joined us in lifting her, and we managed to get to the driver, who immediately jumped into the driver’s seat, and began to drive us.As for the family, they would be informed once we were sure she was fine. There was no time to waste. At the nearest hospital, we took her out of the car, and the ER doctors assi

93LUCAS’ POV.I looked at the ladies, trying to pick out who among them was making me feel that way. It was a really uneasy feeling. I leaned back in my sofa, and studied the ladies, who began to introduce themselves.“I’m Keith.” The first one, who looked smart said.“I’m Sandra.” The girl in all pink said, with her smile growing wider.“I’m Mina.” The quiet girl dressed in all black said, in a calm voice.“I’m Judy!” The girl who had been rocking back and forth on her feet said, with excitement.“I’m Paris.” The girl who I had perceived as not confident said in a low voice.“I’m Tenor.” Said the one in flashy clothes, with a bold smiled.“I’m Jenny.” The last girl, who looked really shy said.It turned out there was really no way of judging which of them gave me the awful feeling. I looked into their faces carefully, and some smiled back, while some looked like they were suddenly unsure if they had zipped their zippers.Who among the beautiful girls could make me feel so uneasy?

92EMILY’S POV.I looked at her, and there was a desperateness in her eyes, as if she could make me say I didn’t like him. It angered me. She had been rude to me, but wanted me to answer her petty question.By her side, a hand was folded into a tight fist, and it made me give a smile.“I believe it’s not my duty to keep whatever I feel for Lucas in check. Right? It’s also not my duty to explain our relationship, and what goes on between us, so I’m sorry, but I do not owe you an answer to your question.” I said, and made to walk past her, but she held my elbow.I looked at it, and jerked it out of her hand.She didn’t deserve to hold me like that.I walked away from her, and sat at the dining table.“What would you like to eat?” Kaye asked me.“Maybe some cereal. I don’t really have much appetite. I ate a lot yesterday.” I said to her, rubbing my eyes.“Cornflakes?”“Is there Cinnamon crunch? I thought I saw it the other day.” I said, leaning backwards on my chair.“Yes, there is. Wait

91LUCAS’ POV.As I drove to work, I couldn’t help a smile from forming on my face. Emily being jealous was just the cutest thing ever. So all because she saw Katie kissing me, she decided to be curt and distant with everyone?And what was that she said about being possessive with her male friends?I laughed; I had acquired a possessive female friend.I got to work, and met Tray scolding two female employees who had accidentally managed to smear lipstick on an important piece of paper.“This is really crazy. How in the world did you manage to do this!?” He asked, throwing the paper on them. “Look at that paper. Does it look like it was typed out? No, idiots! It was handwritten! And you smeared lipstick all over it like that? Tell me why you were putting on lipstick at work. Did you come to work to flirt or to look pretty? How do I apologize for this?” He asked, and I waited in front of the elevator, while he raged on.“We’re so sorry, Mr. Turner.”“Don’t you worry. Maybe if I tell the

90EMILY’S POV.Katie looked like she’d been hit by a ball flying through the air.She stared at Derella speechlessly, unable to say a word. She had probably never expected to hear something like that.“I know it’s weird, and you never expected this, but I’m sorry. This is who I am, and you’re who I like. Actually, I…. I don’t want to cause you some inconvenience because I know you don’t like me, but I just thought I had to say it out. If I want to be at peace with myself, then you should know I’ve always been soft for you.” Derella said, staring into Katie’s face, searching out the unspoken words.“You. Not Derel?”“I’m gay. Remember?”“Oh.”“I know you’re flustered, but this is just to get it off my chest. It’s been bothering me for a while now, and I really needed to say something.” Derella said, placing her hands behind her back, and dealing harshly with her fingers.“Thanks. I don’t know what to say. Am… am I saying the wrong thing? I’m… I’m really sorry. I had no idea, and… I gu

89EMILY’S POV.I wanted to hit myself if I could, but of course, I couldn’t. Maybe a written apology the next morning would do. I didn’t want him thinking I was taking his friendship for granted.I got to my room lazily, and opened the door feeling like shit, only to scream, as I saw Lucas sitting on my bed, with his legs crossed.I looked behind me, like I would be able to see him sitting at the dining. What was he doing there? Who was the person I left at dinner?“Lucas?”“Do you think it’s a ghost?”“I… I left you at dinner.”“Oh, I took the other way, and raced you to your room.” He said, and my cheeks flushed. I could feel the mean, nasty girls in me ready to resume the fight.Gosh, why won’t they rest? They should just stop! I didn’t want to fight, I only wanted answers because my brain wouldn’t stop coming up with nasty answers of its own.“Oh.”“Are you jealous?” He asked, and my eyes opened wide.“J…jealous? Why would you say that? Why would I be jealous? There’s no way I ca

88EMILY’S POV.I turned away quickly, staring at the wall closest to me. Did I see well? Were my suspicions of the previous day right? Did Lucas like her? Were they dating? Since when?I began to walk away, not wanting to be caught in such an uncomfortable situation. Blindly, I walked away from them, and winded up in the garden. I plopped onto the grass, and tried to erase the image I had just seen from my head.I felt so wronged, angry and jealous at the same time. They were probably having the best of time with each other.Why would Lucas flirt with me all night, and kiss another woman the next morning? Okay, we were just plain friends, but…“Damn! Friends.” I spat. Why was I mad? I myself had said it so many times that we were just friends, and nothing more.Just friends. Friends alone.It stung to think that he might decide to reciprocate Katie’s feelings. But did he really see me as just a friend and nothing else?It felt really weird. I had never felt that way before. Not knowi
