If Only He Knew novel Chapter 50

[ Second Kiss/ Intimate Moment ]

Emily's POV:

I was cooking breakfast and watching the front door at the same time. It was almost eight in the morning and I was glad Lara hadn't come until now.

I wasn't willing to wake Eric up though he loved to go on morning walks. Edward had an important meeting today and so he was upstairs, getting ready for it.

Suddenly the doorbell rang and I jumped at my place, my heart leaped to my throat, glaring at the door in hope.

Please, let it not be Lara!

Please, let it be anyone but Lara!

While I was busy bribing God with my futile attempts, Miranda opened the door and I saw Lara coming towards me, smiling brightly at me.

"Hey Emily, good morning! How are you?!"

Immediately, I glanced towards Eric's room and for a moment, I was glad he wasn't awake yet.

"I am fine Lisa, Good morning.! But can't you come some other time! Edward has an important meeting today so he won't be able to talk with you right now!"

"That's great then! I'll be short in my sentences then!"

"No. Lisa, come some other time-"

"Please, Emily! Guilt of five years betraying both of you, is now crawling painfully in my heart! I can't wait any longer to end all my unwanted relationship with Edward-"

"I am totally fine, Lisa-"

"No, You're not Emily! Please! Don't be nervous!"

"But Lisa-"

"Don't worry a bit, dear! I won't tell him anything about your undying love for him all these years ! Let him discover it all by himself!"

"Listen Lisa-", Lisa grabbed my hands, and squeezed my knuckles gently, assuring me with her eyes.

"I'll be fine, Emily! Believe me! I couldn't get more at ease after clearing out everything with Edward!"

I could only nod at her words, still not able to tell her that Eric was here. Lara walked towards the stairs, turning her head a little to assure me once again.

Just then, door burst open with a jolt and Eric came out of his room, his eyes half drooping with sleep before he stretched out his arms and yawned widely. He waved at me in a friendly gesture.

"Good morning, Emil-"

All colour drained out of his face as soon as his eyes fell on Lara. He rubbed his eyes with his fingers, opening them again only to stagger back in complete astonishment and shock. "Lisa!?"

Oh damn, volcano is going to blow away my pious house right now!

Where is my wiper now!?

Lara stood erect in her posture, staring at Eric with her open mouth. Her hands gripped her phone and purse rightly, her fingers curling into fists. Her eyes itched with moisture, tears began pooling in them before a lone tear trickled down slowly on her face down her cheeks and she swallowed a lump in her throat, still staring incredulously at Eric.

"Lisa!? Is that you!?"

Lara turned abruptly on her heels, almost running towards the front door while Eric ran frantically after her, calling her name behind.

"Lisa! Wait! Listen to me, will you!?"

"She's not Lisa, Eric. She is Lara....my friend!" I yelled behind Eric while he was running behind Lara.

"Lisa! Lisa!"

Lara wiped her tears from her hands and continued to walk away, not caring to look behind at Eric.

Just then, I saw our bedroom door open and Edward came outside, busy in a call, shouting angrily at someone.

"No, I won't tolerate any amateurs again! Encouraging interprenauring is not my cup of tea! Prepare the seminar room quickly! Yes! Do it all over again and fire everyone who dared to mess up with those assisting schedules- no! Don't do that! I want everyone ready at their tables sharp by nine! I'm coming in an hour there!"

Oh my god! Why of all the time he had to come outside! Why!?

What to do?? He can't go outside and see Eric and Lara together! No! That would hurt him very much!

I searched each corner of the house to find any reason to stop him. My eyes fell on onions and quickly I chopped them into small pieces with my bare hands and rubbed those hands over my eyes.

Tears started to flow from my eyes and I rubbed and sniffed my nose, making it turn red.

After that, I ran towards Edward and stood proudly in front of him, fiddling with my fingers, trying to look as desperate and miserable as possible.

Ending his call, Edward looked at me in mild shock and pure worry while I pretended to wipe fake tears from my eyes.

Should I try to rinse my shirt full of fake tears, in front of him!?

"Emi!? What the hell happened to you!?"

"Edward, I....", I broke into fake sobs suddenly, hugging him tightly.

"What happened!? Tell me!?"

Damn, I never thought of a reason though!

"Well, I... I... you know...I"

"Yes!? Tell me!" Edward cupped my chin, making me look up at him.

"I... actually",My eyes fell on a pot, window, shoes, carpet and a mouse painting on the wall, trying to think of a reason.

"Tell me?? What happened!? Are you hurt!? Are you ill!? Do you want me to call a doctor!?" He asked, checking the temperature of my forehead, and checking my limbs upside down.

"I... killed a..ma... mo.... mouse"

Edward let go of me, to stare at me in confusion.

"I killed a bloody mouse, Edward! You know I fell over that poor little brown creature when I was trying to-"

"Oh god, I thought something bad-let's just have your mouse talk when I return later, but not now! I have to get fast there!"

"But-"

"Later, Emily!"

I glanced towards the window and my eyes narrowed in worry to see Eric talking to Lara about something.

I tried to think of something when suddenly I couldn't believe I could also think something like that.

Finding my purse quickly, I ducked my hand under it and pulled out something precious which distracted Edward earlier.

Rogue!

Applying it carefully on my lips, I adjusted my bun to walk seductively towards him, swaying my hip from side to side.

Removing my entangled fingers from his, my arms wrapped around his neck to pull him closer and hugging him tightly to feel more of him on my skin while he continued to give me painful but pleasurable bites on exposed skin of my throat.

God, I wanted him so much now and I didn't care about any stupid rejection or my own bottled up feelings anymore!

He moved his teasing hot lips upwards to kiss me hard on my lips, nudging them apart by force to plunge his wet tongue into my mouth and both of our tongues entangled in a crazy dilemma, just as his hands trailed down further to pop open the last two buttons of my shirt.

I heard someone cough loudly. Breaking the kiss quickly much to Edward's disapproval and disgrunt, I turned a little to see Eric standing in front of us, looking down at the floor and my cheeks flushed yet more to see that he must have seen more than enough of what I never wanted him to see.

"Edwar-"

"I know" Edward answered me cooly, without even turning around to see who who it was and started to button up my open shirt one by one up-to the front.

He dusted invisible dust on my collar, running his fingers slowly over his fresh bites on my neck, throat and then over my swollen lips smugly, as if admiring his own work.

I didn't dare to look at either of the two men, and just stood against the wall in shock and embarrasment while Edward wiped my lipstick nonchalantly from his lips before leaning down to press a soft kiss on my lips.

"Don't do anything like that again! I am telling you, it's a dangerous territory for you!", he whispered slowly to me, nibbling on my earlobe.

Abruptly, he left me, and waved at me.

"I'll be late today, Lily! Don't wait for me and go to sleep early! Miss you, darling!"

When he left, I slowly slid down the wall, shaking my head in disbelief and shock and putting my hands on my head to think hard.

What the hell just happened!?

Did I do all that??

Did I start what turned casually into a heated battle of kisses and moans.!

God, when the hell did I become so horny!? I am crazy! Totally!

I was about to slap myself with my own hands when Eric stood in front of me, extending his hand at me.

I looked at his hand, and then at him.

"Get up"

"I.. "

"I know. I know. Get up now, will you??"

I nodded and took his hand and he pulled me up.

I was still in a daze, ready to murder myself anytime.

"By the way, since now you are completely presentable, how about you go and meet your friend!?"

I looked at him, confused.

"My friend!?"

"Yes! Your friend, Jake is waiting for you outside! He wants to talk about something important, he told me that to tell it to you!"

Oh! Jake?!

What did he want to talk about!?

Is it about Mia!?
