All Chapters of Fixing Emily : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

It's been three weeks since Emily started working at the salon.And its been three weeks that she's fought so hard with herself to control her lust. She has a secret name she calls Raph  when he's not around her.Or when she's talking to Nancy or Julie.Raph Pest,is what she calls him  because she can't get rid of him,he's everywhere,invading like a pest .He drops her at work and picks her up.She gave up when she failed to convince her to let her be on her own."The more time you spend with me,the lesser you think of sex",he teased her on her first day.She sighed said a long fine and sat in his car.Julie quit her job and joined her so the salon has become her safe haven, well most of the time."Yes!",Emily said happily when she hang up."Why are you so excited after that call?Is it Raph?"."Yes,and why did you ask in that tone, am never happy when he calls",Emily protested."Oh yeah?you pretending to be annoyed anytime he calls is you showing your excitement that he called"Julie p

Emily went out with Nathan as she planned.Raph tried to get some sleep but that part of him that cared so much about Emily couldn't sleep, especially with the short black dress she wore.She looked so beautiful he couldn't get her off his mind.After tossing and turning for a while he got downstairs to wait for her.Emily came home at 11pm to find Raph asleep on the couch. He woke up when he felt a body hovering above him."Why are you sleeping here?",Emily asked yawning. "I was -erm,what is the time?11?",he gasped when he saw the time on the wall clock. "Doesn't Nathan or whatever he's called have manners?How could he keep a lady out this late?",he grumbled. "What lady again?Raph,you're driving me insane, we've already talked about this. Am not doing this right now,good night",she said in an annoyed tone.Raph hit his fist in his palm frustrated. Emily slept in the next morning and woke up at 11:30am."Morning sleepy head ",Raph greeted when she descended the stairs to the kitchen. "Why

"Why do you look so brokenhearted?Did Nathan dump you?",Raph asked as they ate dinner.They were having their typical boring Friday night."Hahaha,am choking on my laughter ",she said sarcastically as she rolled her eyes. "Its just,its Katie's birthday on Sunday, and I just wish I could see her,but I can't "."And why can't you?"."Well her school is a boarding school and we're not allowed to visit or see them and I even put her on contract with the school,she joins those who stay in school every during vacations. She'll be there till ninth grade"."Why did you do that?",Raph asked."Am not exactly living well and I don't want my sister to be part of my life,its better if she's away,I figured I'd have improved my living conditions when she gets to ninth grade,then I can move her out and be the best sister ever.That's why I've not had sex in what three months?",she laughed."I see,the 17th October is her birthday?"."Yes,why?",Em asked and he just shrugged. They watched a Tyler Perry movie a

"Raph what are you doing here?",Emily asked perplexed when she saw Raph home."You mean apart from the fact that this is my house?",Raph asked cheekily."No,I meant, you are supposed to be at work ",Emily answered. "I know what you meant",Raph laughed and Emily glared at him."I told you I was going with you,so here I am"."Fine,I thought I was supposed to be the stubborn one.Am going to freshen up",Emily informed."Me too,I'll see you downstairs then",Raph said. Together they sent Katie back to her school. "I'll miss you guys so much ",Katie said crying."I'll miss you more ",Emily responded crying too."Raph please take care of my sister and thank you",Katie said.Emily chuckled at how grown up she was acting."I promise you am going to care excellent care of her",Raph said hugging her.They watched her as she left with one of the security men.Emily couldn't stop her tears.Raph hugged her not knowing what to do.When her crying fits were over Raph drove them back home."Wait,I think I just sa

"Emily,I don't know what happened to you,but I understand your pain.However,don't you think you're looking at things the wrong way?",Nana asked."What if those people who hurt you were preparing you for something big.Like a greater love. Maybe you were meant to give the love you didn't get to someone else.You survived it but maybe that person won't be able to survive without your love ",Nana explained."I've not thought about it that way,but why do I have to be miserable just to make someone happy?",she asked with a frown."Like I said it's all a preparation for something big."Alright,let's say I get you. But what I don't get is why it should be family,why should it be my family that gets the opportunity to shatter me.They are the people I fell in love with first. But those I called family,they've caused me immeasurable pain.I don't think I'll ever recover"."I understand you,but don't you ever think you're not cut out for love.Tell me this,have you ever thought of having a family of yo
