One Nightstand With My Ex's Uncle 38
38LUCAS’ POV.I got into my car, ready to go to work, and thought about Emily. I had wanted to say something to her, but she looked so unwelcoming as she focused on whatever it was she was typing. I also decided not to say a thing because Katie seemed to be heated up, and I understood that they were probably going through a tough time, trying to apologize to the people John had to disappoint.Emily not wanting to be friends with me did nothing to douse the flames of curiosity growing in me.It only sparked more interest within me for her, as I wanted to know why she was so different. She had not even seemed to give it a thought. Immediately I asked to be friends, her eyes looked at me like I had to be kidding her. That was a little hurtful.She looked like she’d be a fun person. Based on the things I had heard about her from John, it seemed like it’d be nice to get to know her more.When I got to work, Tray was on one of the sofas in my office, typing frantically.“Good morning.” I g

39LUCAS’ POV.“Okay. I want to be cool, and pretend I didn’t hear a thing, or that I didn’t understand a thing of what you guys were talking about, but I can’t. A movie is playing in front of me.” She paused, “Damn! John’s wife slept with his uncle!” She suddenly screeched, and I got out of my chair abruptly, almost falling, as I tried to clamp my hands over her little mouth.“What are you saying? You’re totally out of your mind, Sadie.” I said, with one knee on the ground, so I could match her height.“No, I’m not, Lucas.”“We were only rehearsing for a drama at work, and for goodness sake, what do you think sleeping together is? Of course, it is sleeping together in the same room, not necessarily on the same beds.” I said, trying to brainwash her, but she simply raised a brow as she took out her phone from her pocket.“Kids nowadays are smarter than they should be.” She replied, jingling the phone in front of me.“I guess that’s a solid reason you shouldn’t have that.” I said, star

40EMILY’S POV.I dressed as quickly as I could. After having cappuccino with Lucas, I was late for work. Katie and I were handling a board meeting at the office to discuss the pressing consequences for John’s sudden one month leave, which did not sit well with most of the people he was about signing contracts with.It made me wonder just how successful John was going to get. How could he have so many companies he was about to sign contracts with? He was just getting richer, and richer by the day, and there I was getting poorer and poorer, yet dreaming of revenge.How was I to revenge on such a wealthy man, with a considerable amount of power vested in him by his family? Thinking about the fact that he was probably going to be an Alpha soon, made me feel sick.Hopefully, he didn’t marry anyone within my three years stay with him. I had a feeling things would get really unbearable then.On my way to the restroom right before the meeting started, I ran into Mandy, and felt like my day c

41EMILY’S POV.It had been so long since I had laughed genuinely. Laughing with Dahlia was a totally different thing. When I was with her, it felt like I was somewhere that wasn’t included in my life at the moment. It was like the gloomy abyss was suddenly flooded with light. Immediately after the call, everything went back to being gloomy.So, laughing at Lucas was actually the first time I was laughing genuinely in the gloom.It felt so good to laugh, to have something that made me crack up, but then, it was all messed up. The person who made me laugh could not be more wrong. Why would my ex’s uncle be the one to make me laugh?“Okay, you’re laughing now, and I guess this was for you, since you had a load of things to let out, but I think we should get down now.” He said, making for the stairs, and I looked down, and got the chills. We were really up high.Before the crazy impulse to throw myself down manifested, I figured it was best to go down. I didn’t know why, but whenever I w

42EMILY’S POV.I was horrified. Why would Sadie be in my bed? When had she arrived? For how long had she been laying there? Why was she in my room? Even though her family looked down on me because they felt I wasn’t good enough for John, there was something called privacy, and I had the right to…I stopped thinking. Why was her face bloated, and her eyes red? Had she been crying?“You broke off the engagement with John? But my family thinks… oh no. Lady Genevieve is not going to be pleased with that. It would be huge news. Everyone would think there’s a huge story behind it. They might assume John cheated, or he was maltreating you, or he used to hit you… it’s going to be big news.“The reporters will want to dig up dirt on us because they’ll want to know why you broke off the engagement a few days before the wedding. Doesn’t that sound weird to you? Also, they’re going to be wondering if it had something to do with postponing the wedding, and keeping it secret. They will assume no w

43LUCAS’ POV.I was unable to tell her why I had slept with her. She was right. If it had been any other woman who had forced herself on me that night, I would have pushed her away because I hated clingy women— women who abandoned dignity, and threw themselves on men. Those women ended up ruining their lives, and demeaning their worth.I had simply been attracted to Emily from the time I saw her. There was that aura she carried; something completely different about her, and I knew it wouldn’t hurt to tell her I had found her attractive, and that was why my guard hadn’t been up that night, but I felt it might ruin things.To be honest, I didn’t like the fact that I found Emily charming. I was this man who everyone knew to be picky, and extremely choosy when it came to women. So, having a weird kind of attraction I didn’t understand for a woman who used to be my nephew’s fiancée, was totally not it. It wasn’t me.But what was I to do when everyday, she seemed better than the previous d

44EMILY’S POV.The next morning, my head thrummed like lots of instruments were playing in it. I stumbled out of bed, and groaned. I needed something to help my headache.My sweatshirt was still stained with pepper from the salmon, and I wondered why I hadn’t taken it off. I went to the kitchen to get some lemon tea that could help, but the maids had no lemon tea, they only had coconut water. It helped a bit.“Here. Eat this before the family comes around for breakfast.” Kaye said, handing me an omelet with veggie.“Aww, you’re so sweet.” I said, picking it up, and digging my teeth into it. “Hm, this is sooo good. I feel so hungry, despite all the salmon you guys made last night. By the way, those salmon hit the spot. It felt like they were restaurant-cooked.” I complimented, and she blushed.“I had a major role in the grilling of the salmons, and preparing the ingredients.” She said, and I laughed, then drank more coconut water.“I’m never drinking apple cider again. It’s so sweet,

45EMILY’S POV.“What do you want?” I asked, angrily, and she smiled.“Have you forgotten I can make you do whatever I want? I came here to give you an order, but I heard you saying something rather interesting instead.” She said, going to sit on my bed, with a bounce.“Why do you have to be the one to overhear everything? This is no longer funny, Sadie. Why couldn’t you just wait for me to return to the breakfast table before asking for whatever it is that you want?” I asked, and she giggled.“Why do you like to think out loud? I mean that’s what our minds are there for, right? To think. We think with our minds, and not our tongues, Emily. Why wouldn’t I overhear things I shouldn’t?” She asked, still smiling.“This is odd. Why are you smiling instead of snapping some harsh reply back at me?” I asked, and she giggled.“Well that is because I discovered something that would actually be really fun to do. I mean, I’ve watched this stuff in so many movies, but haven’t actually had a chanc

98JOHN’S POV.(The previous evening)I poured myself fruit wine after finishing my work for the day. It had been so long since I finished my daily work. Most of the time, I carried over work to the next day, so the wine was more of a celebration thing.“Didn’t know wine still tastes good in an office setting.” I murmured to myself, and looked out the window. “It’s snowing.”‘It’s snowing, John! Aliens!’ I heard Emily scream in my head. Her giggles followed. ‘I know they’re not aliens. What do I say? Childhood stories stick!’That was our first Christmas together. The snow had come really late, making everyone wonder if it was ever going to snow that Christmas. Alas, it had.“We didn’t imagine a Christmas without her, John.” I said, swirling my drink in my glass.Just then, my door was pushed open.“Gosh.” I exclaimed, softly, as I was caught off guard.Katie stormed in, and stood in front of me.“Sweet to drink wine alone on a snowy night when your woman is out there having coffee, a

97LUCAS’ POV.(The previous evening)I watched Derel and Tenor, trying to understand the situation. Where did they meet? Why were they so casual with each other? She didn’t look like an high school student, so I couldn’t imagine where they could have met long enough to have such relationship with each other.“Don’t touch me.” Derel said, jerking his arm out of her hand. She took off her jacket completely, and hit him with it.“What is the matter with you? Must you be so headstrong?” She asked, heatedly.“I believe you have no business judging whether I’m headstrong or not.” Derel said. “We don’t know each other, do we?” He asked coldly, and walked away, but she followed him. I wanted to go with them, but my phone rang.It was Emily. I picked it, and we talked a little after I suggested having coffee, which was weird, judging that the sky had darkened, but she didn’t mind.I doubted I was the only one offering to drink coffee at night.I left Derel, since I was sure he was perfectly c

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
