One Nightstand With My Ex's Uncle 92
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

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?

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

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

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

1EMILY’S POV“Ouch!” I withdrew my hand immediately from the oven and saw that my mitten had a hole in it. “This is going to sting.” I remarked, looking at it in anger. Then I turned to the sink and turned on the tap.“Did you hurt yourself, Miss?” Dahlia asked, coming into the kitchen.“Oh, it’s just a little burn.” I replied, although it was obvious on my face that even as little as the burn was, it hurt badly.Dahlia browsed through the cupboards, and in a minute, she had taken my hand and dabbed it in cool honey.“My mom always did this. You’ll heal just fine, but she never hesitated to dab honey on skin whenever it got burned.” She explained, and I watched her. It must have been nice to remember her mother. Dahlia’s mother was long dead and gone, and the only family Dahlia had were her two children.She never talked much about her children, but Dahlia had been more than a mother to me. She kept the house clean, cooked, and never hesitated to listen to me whenever I needed it.Al

2EMILY’S POV.My heart went into a slow beat, and it seemed like everything had stopped. Maybe I was the only one who stopped.John, who smiled like the sun...John, who saw only me...John, who couldn’t wait for us to get married.John, who watched old movies and made cliché statements because I knew I loved them.John, who swore to give his everything to me...John, who was on the bed, groaning and cloaked in the shiny fabric of perspiration, was before me.The girl’s hair shielded her face as she continued to let out soft cries, and it was only when I staggered backwards that they stopped.John pushed her off him frantically, and she rolled off the bed to the floor, grabbing the sheets and covering herself with them.My heart seemed like it was about to explode with each beat.I tried taking deep breaths, but I couldn’t deny the hot tears that wanted to come running down.“Emily.” He called with a cracked voice, and I looked at their clothes on the floor, strewn in different place

3EMILY’S POV.I grabbed his hands and pulled them off, throwing them away from me, and turned to him.“What the heck do you think you’re doing?” I asked, looking at him with surprise, but it felt like a drum hitting my head. I staggered, and he caught me again.“What am I doing?” He asked, and I tried to pry my hands out of his, but he held on to my wrist firmly.“You know what you’re doing. How could you approach me for the sake of doing this? You’re a jerk! A traitor!” I accused him, with my words slurring.“A traitor?”“I thought we were comrades!” I shouted in an uneven tone and swayed on my feet once more, but he caught me by the waist.“Comrades? You’re drunk. I’m only trying to get you to your room.” He said, and in pretense of brushing my hair backwards, he brushed his palm over my breasts once more, and I pushed him away.“I asked what you think you’re doing!” I shouted, but my eyes couldn’t even open properly anymore.“I’m getting you to your room.”“All men are the same.

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
