Unexpected Love

Chapter 10 (Jealousy)

Emma: Ateş?
Ateş: Surprise!! I don't know why, but I feel like you didn't like it!
Emma: No, no, I'm just surprised because you said you didn't know when you would come, that's why!
Ateş: Yes, I wanted to make it a surprise for you, but when I found out you were on vacation, I waited until it ended.
Emma nodded and Ateş approached and hugged her. Emma hugged him back but didn't notice Andrew pressing on a knife while sitting at the table.
Ateş: I missed you so much!
Emma: Me too! What about the others? Are they fine?
Ateş: Yes, they all missed you so much.
Emma: I missed them too.
Andrew couldn't stand their closeness anymore, so he decided to break their hug.

Andrew: Come and sit then!! We were having breakfast, join us!
Ateş stayed away from Emma and looked at Andrew.
Ateş: No, thanks! I just came to see Emma.
Sia: Is this possible, son? Come here, join us, come on!
Ateş: Okay, as you wish then.
Ateş sat next to Emma and Sia, in front of Andrew, who stopped eating and just stared at Ateş, especially every time he spoke to Emma.
Andrew: How did you get the address then?
Ateş: Emma sent it to me when I asked her to give it to me. I mean to visit her when I come!
Andrew: Hmmm! Your English is good too!
Ateş: Yes, actually I'm half American, half Turkish, so I know English well! But when Emma and I are alone or when we speak in front of someone and don't want them to understand us, we speak in Turkish. Remember those days, Emma?

Ateş said while laughing, and they all laughed. Andrew tried to fake a laugh, but it was very clear.
Emma: How long will you stay in America then?
Ateş: Just one week, you know the semester is about to start, so we should prepare ourselves.
Emma: Yeah, right!
Noah: When did you come, then?
Ateş: Yesterday at midnight.
Noah: You stayed in a hotel, right?
Ateş: Yes!
Sia: Stay here this week, then! Since you're Emma's friend, we can't let you stay in a hotel.
Ateş: No, Mrs.! I prefer to stay there, but thanks for your offer.
Sia: But-
Andrew: No but, Mom! Don't force him. He likes to stay there, so let him stay where he feels comfortable!
Ateş noticed Andrew's jealousy, so he decided to press him.

Ateş: If we will talk about comfort, then anywhere near Emma will be comfortable for me. But I've already booked the hotel for a week, so maybe I'll stay here next time if your offer still stands, Mrs. Sia!
Sia: Of course, son! Anytime!!
Andrew couldn't stand it anymore and got up from the table.
Andrew: I'm going! Are you coming, Dad?
Noah: Yes, I'll grab my jacket and come.
Andrew nodded and looked angrily at Ateş and Emma before leaving to wait for his father outside.
Noah arrived and they got into the car and left. They arrived at the company and went to Andrew's office. After a few minutes, Peter arrived too. They sat down and started discussing some things.
Noah: I didn't ask you at home because of Emma, but I need to know what happened in Las Vegas, Andrew! And why are you still keeping John with our men and not giving him to the police?

Andrew: Ouch! I forgot about it, Dad! It's good you reminded me.
Noah: You still haven't answered my question, Andrew!!
Andrew remained silent. He didn't want to remember the details of that day again, as he felt sad when he remembered that he couldn't save her. He also felt angry at the thought of someone else trying to touch her.
Andrew: Dad, everything is clear! This jerk is a pedophile and harassed her, so I kept him with our men until we finish the vacation, then I'll punish him.
Peter: The police?
Andrew: I don't know. I don't want to give him to the police. If I do, Emma will be forced to be questioned at the police station and in court. She will feel bad and embarrassed, and I don't want her to feel that. I know she did nothing wrong, but we suffered, Peter, to make her move on a little. I don't want her to start from scratch again!

Noah and Peter looked at each other and smiled slyly. Andrew noticed them.
Andrew: What's wrong? Why are you smiling like that?
Peter: Nothing, nothing, my dear Andrew. We just noticed your huge caring for a girl, so we're a little amazed, that's all!
Andrew got nervous.
Andrew: What do you mean by that? Of course, I care about Emma. She's my cousin!
Peter: We didn't say anything, bro! Of course, she's your cousin. Everyone cares about their cousin in this way. We know that!
Peter said sarcastically, so Noah tried to hold back his laugh. Andrew looked angry at the two, so they stopped laughing.
Noah: Okay, okay, Peter. It's just cousin's care.
Andrew: Dad, don't go along with this idiot.
