Emily WarnerI felt a blinding pain in my head as I slowly tried to open my eyes, everything in my sight was blurry. I rub my eyes to finally make sense of my surrounding to see an old man sitting in front of me. I looked around to see a place much similar to the FBI questioning rooms I’ve seen in movies.“Hello Emily Warner, is it?” He says in a friendly voice as I see a file with my name on it.“It looks like you probably have my whole biography on my hand. Are all files supposed to be so small?” I ask, being thoroughly unimpressed by the one page file in front of me.“No, they are actually around 10 pages long. You seriously have had nothing going on in your life ever. I actually double checked the file and asked my assistant where are the other-““Okay I get it!” I say with gritted teeth.“Like I actually felt a little sad.” This son of a bitch, “Now back to why you are here.” He says making me sit up straight.“I ha

Emily Warner“So are you going to find me a man?” I ask him as I laugh.“No but just how to maybe end up with the right guy because let’s face it, you run towardstrouble. Hank and then me, it’s like you can’t seem to fall for a man that’s normal.” He jokes making me laugh, the tension in the air goes away as I switch on my phone quickly.“So I will tell you which guy to approach and how to identify what they want and what their intentions are regarding you. Of course, we will work a little on your self-esteem and help you grow.”“Help me grow?” I ask him as I raise my eyebrows, “What’s that supposed to mean?”“Well, you know when a guy doesn’t treat you with respect and doesn’t treat you the way you would want him to treat you? Are you with me?” He asks as he speaks slowly as if I am too stupid to understand him.“Yeah, I am with you.”“So instead of trying to manipulate him into treat you well, you leave immediatel

Emily Warner“Lucas.” I say, making him groan as without a warning, he buries his head in my neck making each and every hair on my body stand.“Don’t forget me, okay?” He mutters as I feel him peppering a few kisses on my neck, “It is killing me to even think of another man touching you.” My head falls back as the pleasurably assault on my neck and chest continue as his hands pull my hips into his, making me feel his body heat.“I am still yours, Lucas.” I say as he looks up at me with so many emotions in his beautiful eyes.“You are so beautifully innocent, raw, passionate, kind... you are everything I can never be. Just remember even after I leave, don’t try to change your appearance or yourself at any point. Yes, you are terrifying, sometimes strange and beautiful. Something not everyone knows how tolove.” He says as I feel tears welling in my eyes.I always thought I was unlovable, I felt like I’ve manipulated my way into ma

Emily Warner“So what brings you to the dating sites?” I ask trying to change the subject.“Just trying to get to meet new people, I guess.” He says as the waiter comes in to take the order.I remember Carter telling me that’s code for a guy when he wants to have casual sex. But Jacob said on the dating profile that he was looking for someone to date?“So, what do you do?’ I ask as the waiter leaves after taking our order.“I am a lawyer but I am also a part time scuba instructor.” He says nicely but it wasn’t the same anymore.“I know a lawyer joke.” I say as I was about to tell him one.“Yeah I hear a lot of those.” He interrupts, probably not wanting to hear the lawyer joke, as he laughs along a little too just to be polite.Wow this is so awkward, but still won’t be in my top ten worst dates.This goes on for a while as I could feel myself almost ready to get up and just run away. Every minute passi

Emily Warner“Wow, I guess I finally figured out why Emily has such a big problem with confidence. When your own father doesn’t believe in you, why would you expect anyone else to?” Lucas says out of nowhere, stunning me as my mom’s face lights up.“Yes exactly! You are right. I’ve been telling her father this for years now. The only reason she makes jokes about herself and has such a self-deprecating personality is because of how she was treated at home. He thinks it’s funny to have her sit in front of him and pick apart each and every thing about her that he finds faulty. He thought that would help her.” My mom says, almost getting emotional.No one listens to her.“I can understand Mrs. Warner. I think your daughter, despite of all these comments and constant criticism has grown up to be a wonderful woman.” Lucas says as he holds my mother’s hand as she nods, holding back a few tears.“So what do you do? What’s your name? Why are you h
