Hello everyone! Guess who's back with yet another chapter.
Emily’s POV:
I woke up to light falling in my eyes. I guess I forgot to close the curtains yesterday night.
When I opened my eyes I was greeted by the sight of an unfamiliar room.
“Where am I?” , I murmured.
Then yesterday’s events came crashing down to me. Right ,I am in my dad’s house.
I checked the time and it was only 7 am.
I did my daily routine and headed downstairs.
Sarah and my dad were sitting on the sofa and drinking coffee.
Sarah noticed me and gave me a bright smile
“Good morning Emily. Hope you slept well.”
“Good morning. Yea, I slept well.”
“Would you like some coffee dear?”
“Yea sure”
“I’ll make you some”, she was getting up but I stopped her.
“It’s ok sit. I’ll make it”, she nodded.
I entered the kitchen and made myself a cup of coffee. Considering that it’s just 7 I don’t think my brother woke up yet and neither did Charlotte.
Not knowing what to do I took my coffee and went to the back yard. The weather was pleasant.
“You are up early”, I jumped back at this sudden voice.
I looked at the source of this voice and it was Luke. He looked amused maybe because of the high jump I just performed.
“You startled me”, I accused him.
“Are you usually up this early?” he asked me ignoring my accusation.
“Yes I am and looks like so are you.”
“Yup.”
“Seems like you and my sister are getting along well”, he pointed out.
“Yea”
“But you both are so different”, he argued.
“You have known me for just one day and you already know how I am ? Funny”
“Yes I have known you for just one day but I can understand a girl by her talks and behavior.”
“What are you ? Mr. Ladies expert?”
He smirked, “That I am”
“Ok fine then tell me how am I different from Charlotte?”
“You are confident, self-reliant, not that ‘boys give me attention’ type and most importantly pure”, he told me all of this as if he knew me all my life , which he ofcouse didn't.
I stared at him up and down.
“You sure are a ladies expert”, he laughed.
“I told you”
From what Charlotte told me , he used to be a player before a certain girl – Rachel came along and he committed to her. She also told me that he was the captain of his school's basketball team.
“ Is James over protective of you?”, he asked me out of the blue.
I laughed, “He is. Very much. He sees a boy around me and all those brotherly instincts pop up in him.”
