"Bye you guys. See you in California." Manny called to Toby and JT. Toby and JT and Sean were leaving tomorrow but Manny and Emma weren't leaving till next week. Emma walked over to her mom's red sports car. "Manny, are you coming?" "Ya I am." Manny gave JT and Toby a hug, than got in to the red sports car. The boys watched the car go. "Well, lets go boys" JT said. Toby and Sean were still staring after the car. JT waved his hand over their eyes. No response. Sheesh he thought. These guys are really still head over heels crazy about Emma. JT got into his red jeep and honked the horn twice. Toby and Sean got into the back and they started to drive to California, since they couldn't afford to fly. Meanwhile back at Manny's house, Manny and Emma were talking. "Emma, its so obvious Sean still likes you" "Oh shut up. You know I'm going out with the guy I met at the orientation." "Named?" "Chase" "Well as long as you're happy. How do you always get the guys?" "Well you have Craig." "Don't remind me about Craig." "Um Manny, I gotta tell you something." "Ya?" "Craig is gonna be our-" "Yes?" "Roomate" "What?!?!" "Well he called me up last night and told me he lived in a penthouse by himself, over by UCLA where he goes, and we'll be going there too. So he offered that me and you come live with him. Oh and the way he said you're name made it seem like he really wants you back." "Oh how could you accept? I don't know if I could handle seeing him." "Well you do want him back right?" "Yes." "So this will be your chance" "Whatever" Manny flopped down on the bed and covered her face with her hands. Emma knew she might not be able to handle this but it was for her own good. Manny and Craig were meant to be. The next week, they boarded the plane and headed to California. When they got to LAX, Manny saw a familiar face as she exited the plane. "Craig?" she said, at the same time, Emma yelled "Craig!" and waved. Manny glared at her. Emma walked over to where Craig was sitting. "Hey Craig. Thanks for offering to let us live with you." "No problem." he said smiling. "My car is over in the parking lot. We can go get your stuff and than I'll go get the car." They went over to get their stuff and than while Craig went and got the car, Manny and Emma stood over on the sidewalk. "I hope you can learn to deal with this, Manny. This is for your own good." Emma said. Manny just glared at her. Emma saw how Manny had looked at Craig when he had met them at the airport. It was so obvious they totally liked each other again. Craig pulled up in a black jeep. He jumped out and threw their stuff in the back. "Ok get in, you guys. Manny do you want to sit in front?" Manny went and got up in the front. She looked out the window at the scenery as they got off the freeway and into Westwood. "There are way too many buildings here." Emma commented. "Get use to it. This is LA." Craig said. "So how do you guys like it here so far?" Emma answered, but Craig had his eyes glued on Manny, who was trying her best not to stare back. Emma saw the connection between the two, and shut up. They rode the rest of the way in silence, with Manny staring out the window, Craig sneaking glances at Manny, and Emma sighing in the back, looking at a picture of Chase. They finally stopped in front of a house on a quiet street. "We're here." Craig said. "Whoa. I thought you said it was a penthouse." "Well here in California, they don't have any penthouse apartments, so I decided to get a 4 bedroom, 3 bath, house here." "Wasn't that expensive?" "No, my old man bought it for me." "Joey?" "No my real father. He decided that I needed a real place to live. All you 2 have to pay for is your utilities, no rent. Also you're gonna have to provide most of your furniture. In your bedrooms, there's only a bed and a set of drawer." Craig took some keys out of his pocket, and threw them each a set. Than he walked took their luggage and brought them in, led them to their rooms, and let them explore and get settled. Emma went over to Manny's room and knocked. "Who is it?" "It's me, Emma" "Oh. Whatever. Come in." Emma came in and sat on the bed. She was looking at an order form that she was going to send out for her new furniture. "Manny, are you still mad at me?" "No not really." "Ok good" "I think I like him again." "I knew it. I think he likes you too. I mean he kept sneaking glances at you on the way." "Sure okay" "Wanna go out for a drive and see where Sean, JT, and Toby are?" "Sure." Emma went over to the phone and dialed Toby's cell phone. But her cell phone rang first. It was JT. "Hey Emma. I was wondering if you and Manny wanted to come over and go swimming at our apartment." "Sure JT." She scribbled down their address and looked out at the backyard. It had a pool and a Jacuzzi. She hung up the phone and ran to tell Manny. 10 minutes later, they were in their bikinis and driving over to the Valley, where they lived in an apartment. 20 minutes later, they were stopped in front of the apartment. They went up to the buzzer and let them know they were there. The gate opened up and they walked over to apartment # 209 and knocked on the door. JT opened the door, dressed only in his trunks and Emma would've turned away from his chest if he didn't have nice abs. YUK! Emma and Manny both thought. Why am I thinking about JT's stomach?!? JT let them in and they set their stuff down on the couch and waited for them to come out. JT was already ready and Emma was waiting for Sean, so JT told her he'd go out there with her. Manny took off her shirt and skirt, revealing a baby blue string bikini, which totally looked good on her. JT's eyes kind of bugged out while they walked out. Manny of course didn't notice. They walked out and Toby said behind Emma, scaring her "Cute couple, huh?" Emma jumped. "Toby! You scared me!" "Sorry. So are you ready to go?" "Isn't Sean going?" "Yes in a little while." "Ok" Emma took off her shirt and shorts, revealing a green string bikini. Toby eyes got all big. They walked out to the pool to find something they never expected to see.
