Emily’s POV
I was hell embarrassed, I mean how?
I kissed my best friend, just the thought is so weird and here I actually did this.
Oh god!
"I guess you left to get some snacks, Emily?" Leo asked.
"Yeah I have told Nancy to get some." I said while he nodded.
"Hey guys, what are you doing here? Come sit with us" it was Andy.
"No, we are cool here. I am not in a mood to argue with Rigel."
"Oh come on Emily he isn't alone we are with him he won't say anything." I looked towards my friends.
"I think we should tease him." Ava said with an evil tone in my ear. We both smirked as I knew how Rigel was going to react.
"Sure why not," Ava said. We went near them and sat beside them. Rigel looked at me then towards Andy. If looks could kill he must have died by now.
"What bro they were sitting alone there so I thought to have some company you know."
"You are such a good human being." he said sarcastically.
"I know brother, stop praising me." I chuckled.
He glared at me while I made a serious face. Everyone settled down while I got a seat besides HIM. But At this moment I am least interested to watch a movie or irritate anyone as I am thinking about the kiss.
I mean Carl and I? Why god why? Why on earth did I have to face all the weird things?
"Emily take this." Carl said, forwarding me a box. When did the snacks come?
"Thanks." I move forward to hold them.
Fuck. His hot breath is falling on my face, damn why is he so attractive that I always forget the relationship between us. I looked towards his lips, they were so damn attractive, like inviting me.
"Will you let me watch the movie?" He asked slowly.
"Uhmm I..."
"What?" Someone please tell him to stay away, he is making me lose my mind.I straighten up myself and mouthed a sorry but he rolled his eyes
Rude asshole!
I ate my nuggets Trying to concentrate on the movie. I looked back at him then at the box. Should I offer him? He will deny as usual, so yeah I won't.
"Want some?" Yes I am mad you can call me whatever you want.
"Thanks." To my surprise he took one.
"You are welcome."
***************
We were sitting near a pool as Andy asked us to join them. He is not that bad, he is all nice to us. Also Helen is a nice girl and Joe too, her boyfriend I guess.
Ava, Andy, Linda and Leo are enjoying themselves in the pool while Helen and Joe are sitting with each other having some talks.
Rigel is inside the house And I am sitting with Carl and I have decided to ask him about the incident that happened today but I won't ask straight.
"So how was your day?" I asked.
"Good! I really enjoyed today all thanks to you." he said and I smiled.
"No need for thanks." he was using his phone.
"You tell me how everything is in this house?"
"Cool but sometimes I get bored you know."
"I can understand but you can call me whenever you feel bored."
"Yes I know! Btw did something strange happen to you today?"
"Means? What kind of strange?"
"I mean anything strange you never would have imagined."
"Uhm... Let me think, strange.... Yeah one thing."
"What?"
"That Linda."
"What Linda? What about her?"
"Actually She is my assistant and I was quite shocked to see her here," he said.
"Oh she is your assistant, that's strange. She doesn't look like working under someone."
"Yeah but I tell you she is a very hard working person."
"Yeah maybe." I said. I still don't know if it was him or not! Godddd.
Later the same night I was gazing at the stars while everyone was sleeping here only. Someone forwarded a plate of Alfredo pasta in front of me and I turned around to see Carl, who else it could be.
"You remember?" I asked, holding the plate.
"How can I forget the thing connected to you?" He sat beside me while I started eating.
"It's beyond tasty so yummy Carl if you want you can be a great chef I am telling you." I suggested.
"I am okay with my job but I can be a chef for you." he said. I looked at him for a moment then again concentrated on my food. Uff Emily you are so stupid, offer him some!
I made a bite and forwarded my hand towards his mouth, he took a bite and smiled towards me.
"Well I guess you are right I should open a restaurant." We both laughed and had some chat.
"I am sleepy now," I said, yawning.
"Come let's sleep." We lay on the leftover mattress. He kept his hand under my head as there was no pillow.
"Good night." I said.
He kissed my forehead lovingly saying good night. He often does this and I love this thing about him, he is so cute and loving.
The next morning everyone left after having breakfast and it was all nice except for that rude arrogant Martin. He didn't answer any of the questions my friends asked.
I changed my clothes and was going to do some shopping as I will go mad staying in the room but again bumped into someone. I don't have to guess because I know who he is, The Arrogant Martin.
"Not again!" he said. I looked at him. I was holding his waist to balance myself.
"Why are you so rude?" I asked. He came closer to me.
"Because I am like this only, do you have a problem?" He asked. I was going to say something but I got suspicious of the fragrance? I held his shirt, smelling it.
"What do you think you are doing?" He asked. I was shocked, no this can't be the truth!
It's the same smell, same perfume! Is he the one who kissed me? Emily Martin you are dead!
Emily’s POVI can't believe this, no this can't be the truth please. I kissed Rigel? Oh sorry, correction… Rigel kissed me?"What are you doing Emily?" He asked, jerking away my hand. "I... Actually.." "Forget it, stay away ok." he said and left for his room. I came back to my room."Jesus why I mean why always me? I am not sure if it's him or not but the same fragrance can't be a coincidence right? Should I ask him? The way I asked Carl I should!" I left towards his room. I knocked on the door but he didn't reply so I entered inside.Fuck! He was changing! His back was facing me while he was searching for something in his cupboard. He was shirtless. Damn this man is so freaking hot!‘Emilyyyy! He is your fucking step brother for god sake' my inner voice said. ‘I know dude but look at him man I mean how can someone be so attractive?'"What are you doing here Emily?" He asked to bring me out of my world. He took his headphones from his ears. "Don't you have manners of knocking?" He a
Emily’s POVThe day passed quite busy as I called some different places for a job interview, yeah I thought of doing a job as sitting home and getting bored is not my cup of tea so yeah. There are two places where I have to go tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Let's hope for the best. I went to my dad's room and talked to him for a while after that I came back to my room to have a sleep. *************The next day I gave the interview and it went well but I'm not satisfied with the office and staff there so yeah I dropped the plan of working there. I haven't told my friends about this because I know them very well so I will tell them after getting the job. The morning passed in a blink and the evening went with friends having some chit chats. Right now I am sitting at the dining table having my food. That witch is home today so obviously everyone is scared of talking much except for work, even Nancy. And here comes the witch! Someone told the truth talking about a devil and the
Linda’s POVI knocked on the door and entered inside to see Carl and Emily. She was laying on his lap while he was patting her hair. It was when for the first time I got scared for myself."Uhm... I am sorry actually I was looking for Rigel as he is not in his room. Do you know where he is?" I asked."No actually, he was here only a few minutes ago." Emily said."Oh okay thanks." saying so I left the room and came back to Rigel’s room. I sat on the bed and waited for him. 'Are they in a relationship?' 'Why are they alone? What about Ava and Leo?’ 'Goddd Linda stop Overthinking!'"Linda?" I turned to see Rigel. "You here? Everything okay?" He asked."Yeah I just wanted to talk to you." "Yeah sure, want coffee?" He asked."Not now, maybe later." He sat in front of me."Ok, tell me what happened?""Uhm... I don't know how to start. I mean I haven't shared with Helen and Andy yet because I felt like sharing with you first." "Come on Linda speak up what happened?" "I... Actually... Ri
Emily’s POV"Why aren't you letting me see you?" He asked. "It's nothing like that, it's just..." The door opened. "I don't wanna face you." saying so I ran out hiding my face with my hand. "Hey miss? Stop!" He tried to stop me but I didn't. I ran towards Leo’s cabin."What happened?" Ava asked, looking at me."What happened?" I asked back."You are sweating?" She said, "Oh this... Actually I got stuck in a lift and you know how my relationship is with darkness so..." "Oh you alright?" Carl asked while I nodded."I am absolutely fine, don't worry." I said. "Can you let us know why we all are here all of a sudden, Miss Martin?" Leo asked."Yeah sure" We settled down.Rigel’s POVIt was weird. I mean how can someone just kiss me and I let her do it? Is it a joke? What happened to me and why did I respond back? Why didn't I stop her? What is happening man? "Where are you lost?" Andy asked.Andy called me here as his love works here and today he wants me to see her so yeah. First Li
Emily's POVLater that evening I was laying in my room doing nothing but getting bored. I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I didn't realise Ava’s presence. "Emily!" I looked at her as she jerked me a bit. "You here?" I asked. "Yeah but where are you lost?" "Nowhere" I said and sat properly."Emily?" I looked at her "I know this is not the first time but still I am sorry I mean I don't know why I am like this I... I always try to protect you but end up hurting you only." she said."It's fine Ava, I am not angry anymore." "I know you aren't but I know you are hurt" "I'm fine," I said and smiled."I am sorry Emily, please forgive me please." I hugged her."I said it's fine don't say again and again" We talked a little more then she asked me to come to her place which I agreed as well. We were going towards her car but stopped listening Abhi's voice"Where are you going girls?" He asked. "At Ava’s place" I said."Why do you have a problem?" "Ava?" I said, glaring at her."Woa
Emily's POVI was shocked! How can I do such a thing? I looked towards Carl while he was already looking at me."I have cleared you a thousand times that we both were drunk. I myself don't remember anything clearly Ava so let it be" he said. Or can I say he saved me?"Whatever but you did.""Ava there is nothing between us so just leave this topic" He said. "I know man chill I was just teasing you. I know these things happen as I also witnessed the same last night.""What?" We both shouted. "Yeah but the worst part is I remember each and every word I said to him and trust me they all were cheesy and now I am hell embarrassed" she said."Who is the guy?" I asked."Do you really wanna know?" She asked and I nodded. "Well it's.... Andy" "What the fuck!" I cursed."Yeah the fuck it is man I mean why on Earth I always have to bear such things" she said while we both chuckled "What so funny?" "Nothing" "Then shut up" "Ok as you say" *************I came back home, changed my dress a
Emily’s POVBefore he could reach more up. I held his hand again to stop him. "Don't do this!" I said. He is acting like a deaf. I left his hand again and to my surprise he stopped. He turned on the other side. I again closed my eyes and unknowingly fell asleep. *****************"Emily? Wake up bro how long will you sleep?" I slowly opened my eyes looking around. We reached? "What time is it?" I asked while Leo nodded in disbelief. “3pm” We entered Andy's farmhouse."This house has 7 rooms 3 downstairs and 4 upstairs and we are 9 people so 2 people have to adjust," he said. "No problem, I can stay with Carl," Leo said."And I can stay with Helen," Linda said."Great so it is decided. If you want I can stay with Rigel if any of you want a room alone?" "No bro we are fine with it" "Ok than" We chose our rooms. I got a room upstairs. I freshened up by taking a hot shower as I was really tired. After changing my dress and wearing a night suit I came out. I was going downstairs b
Emily’s POVWe left inside the jungle but I don't think they will ever talk to each other. I mean they work together but no one will believe this. They are acting like they are strangers. I have to do something. I have to leave them alone but what about Rigel? How will I make him understand?"Uhm... I guess we should divide in a team and go in different directions. It will spare our time, what say?" "I was actually thinking the same because I am already hungry." Linda said."So why not you and Carl go in that direction and me and Emily will go in this direction?" Rigel said.I looked at him while he winked his eye towards Linda and I understood he is actually doing the same thing and that's good. At least he knows our plan somehow! It's been 10 minutes that we are walking but there is no fruit to be found anywhere."So you guys are also planning to unite Carl and Linda, no?" He asked."How did you find out?" "Just through your actions," he said."Good at least now you know" I said.
