All Chapters of Emily Warner : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Emily Warner“Oh my god! What happened here? I was gone for 20 minutes.” I heard a booming voice behind me, making me jump a little. I turned around to see a shirtless Carter, with messy hair looking around and trying to figure out if a cyclone went through my kitchen.“I thought I could sit around and mop about Hank or..”“Destroy your kitchen?” He asked and he looked at the mess that I’ve managed to make fifteen minutes after stepping inside the kitchen.“No, I was reading Cosmo and one of the tips to ‘get over a man you’ve never had’ is to cook something for yourself.” I tell him and his mouth falls open when he looks at the horrible excuse of a dough I’ve made.Hey, at least I tried.“Everyday... I really don’t know how… you manage to find a different way to annoy me... every day. Do you have a book?” He asks me as he rubs his face with his hands knowing that he has to clean up the mess.“No, I don’t have a book but

Emily WarnerI left the kitchen with the phone in my trembling hands, my body and mind kept telling me that I was doing something wrong but I couldn’t stop.I needed to talk to Hank. I sometimes feel it’s easier to pass judgments but till the time you are actually in the position and as hopeless as me, no one would understand.I couldn’t look at Carter and I knew he wouldn’t stop me. He can try to help but he can’t do anything else. The thought of disappointing him gave me a ball in my stomach. I don’t know how I am going to cope after he leaves.It’s not fair. Why do people keep leaving? Why do they enter my life if they have to leave?“Hello, sorry, I got another call.” I say, surprised that Hank was still on the other side. I knew he would never wait for me. I am the one who does such stupid things. Tolerate things that no normal person would.Once I waited on line for half an hour because he got another call.And tha

Emily WarnerI decided to dress up a little for my last dinner with Carter before he leaves tomorrow. So far he has only seen me in my sweatpants. I don’t know why but the thought of him leaving is not sitting well with me. He handles me so well, surprisingly he hasn’t hurt my feelings once which are very easy to hurt because I am very fragile.I really thought I made a great friend, apart from all the sexual things that happened between us. Maybe it’s just me, I get so connected to people in such a short time. Some people respond well, like Danika, who also needed someone in her life while some freak out, I can’t honestly blame them.What made me sad is that I know nothing about him, but he knows so much about me. I never considered having a romantic relationship with him even once because I was aware that it wasn’t possible.Even if it wasn’t for his ‘job’, he would never settle, not for a woman like me when he could have anyone in the world. A

Emily WarnerThe loud knocking and my cat meowing in my face woke me up.What the damn hell?“Emily Anne Warner, if you don’t open this damned door in a minute, I swear to god I will knock it down with a bulldozer. I am not kidding you. You haven’t replied to any texts or calls in a week. At least before that you answered my texts. I am not going to leave you alone now.” I sat up straight in my bed as I could hear Danika yelling.Okay, she is mad at me.I quickly got out of my bed and walked out of my room with my cat walking around my legs, almost making me trip. I knew Lucas was gone but a part of me still hoped to see him sipping on his coffee and working on something on my laptop like I did every day for the one week he stayed here.Nope, my apartment was empty and clean.Like he was never here.Emily, you need to move on, it’s been two months, he hasn’t come around but I still stuck to my promise and didn’t

Emily WarnerI miss Carter.I know, I barely know him and I will probably stop missing him after a point, hopefully.I liked how he was genuinely concerned and how he tried to protect me with no ulterior motive. I hate how safe and happy I was around him. I can’t even tell my friends about it.The story sounds so unreal. Also, they would probably be more concerned about the kidnapping part than me ‘missing’ this guy.Emily, don’t you hear yourself, you sound crazy.I find myself always wondering what he might be up to, I find myself worrying about him, I find myself hoping and praying that he’s safe. Given his job, it pretty easy to get hurt or even killed.God, that’s scary.I look at the time and it’s almost seven pm. No, Emily. You are not meeting Hank.But it’s not like Carter will ever find out? Or even come back for that fact? Or do I want to meet Hank to just see if Lucas Carter comes back?God, I
