So, this's for SaphireWhiteWolf! BTW, I have a annoucement at the end, so pwease read that!
Alright, here's chapter two!
(((Envy's POV)))
"Unka Envy!" Jayson kicks the back of my seat, "Are we dere yet?"
My head pounds harder with each blow and before I can open my mouth, Emerald is stopping the car and opening the door. "Jayson, stop kicking him. We're here."
He lets out a cry of joy while all I can think of is why did I agree to come.
"As soon as his dad's here, we can go to the movies, En."
That's right—she promised to take me to the movies.
We walked into the small café, which smelled of coffee and doughnuts: a policeman's paradise. There was an empty table for 5 in the back, and since we sat there, I guessed that her ex-boyfriend had a girlfriend.
As long as Emerald's had Jayson, I've never actually met his father. Shocking, isn't it? When she was pregnant, she lived with him but whenever we needed to hang out, she came over my house or we went out. When we were in school, we never really hung out, because she was more popular since she was pregnant with one of the athlete's babies (again, shocker). And whenever there were drop offs like this, I was at the apartment sleeping.
"Hello? En?" I felt a smack on my head, "You still here?"
I looked up to see Emerald holding a box of doughnuts and two cups of coffee. "Watch this while I make a phone call. If Jayson's dad get's here before I'm back, tell him to wait."
"Mommy!" He whined, "Doughnut!"
She sighed, "And give Jay a doughnut, but not a whole one."
"Yay!" He cheers, holding his hand out as his mother walks away. I pull out a plain one fo him and split it so we both have halves.
Jayson Alexander was a smart kid.
"Fwuck! It's hot!"
A very smart kid.
"You better be glad your mom wasn't here," I say, "She might've spanked you."
He sticks out his tougue, "No she wouldn't!"
"Say it again when she comes back. I'll give you 10 bucks if she doesn't."
He holds out his hand, "Deal."
The sound of another customer is heard as we finish spliting our 4th doughtnut, and by the look on Jayson's face, it's gotta be his father. Expecting it to be some sleaze bag from high school, I let out a sigh and turn around to face—
"Envy?"
(((Edward's POV)))
"She's going to kill us, I know it!"
Al and I struggled to get into our clothes the next morning. Usually, on Saturdays, we're up early because we're either dropping off Jay or picking him up. But for some reason, we over slept and are now a good 10 minutes behind schedule.
"Call her and tell her we'll be a little late," I said, trying to put on my shoes while Mom walked by, laughing at the two of us.
"Calm down, boys. They're not going anywhere." She smiled warmly. "Why doesn't she come here?"
I shrug, "For one, she said she wanted to meet at the coffee shop specifically today. And second—"
"I don't want that whore here."
I glared at the man I must call my father, "Emerald's not a whore, you bastard."
Ever since we found out Emerald was pregnant, it's been hell at home. I had a lot of things going for me before it, and when I decided not to go to college so I could take care of Jay, That Bastard was pissed. What can I say? I was in love, and a kid kind of made us look like the family I know both of us wanted.
I moved out and we shared an apartment for awhile, but once we split, I moved back home because I couldn't pay rent by myself (and at the time, Alphonse was graduating high school). I plan on moving back out as soon as I can, but right now all I can do is deal.
"I don't want her here."
"Oh, honey," Mom sighed, "I wish you would stop being so hard on him. And Emerald's such a sweet girl. She gave you your grandson, right?"
He just scoffed and walked off. I tied my shoes and stood up.
"I'll be back later on, okay Mom? I wanna hang out with Jayson today. We might go to the park or something."
"Be home for dinner, at least!"
I only give her a smile as Al and I rush out the door and moments later, we're at the coffee shop.
"It's such a nice day outside, isn't it brother?" Al smiles as we walk in. "Maybe we should go to the park."
He went to go make a phone call.
"Daddy!"
I look up to see Jayson sitting at a table with some guy, walking uncontrollaby and holding the last piece of a donut. The guy turns around and I instantly recognize him.
"Envy?"
His eyes widened. "Edward?"
"What are you doing here?" I question, making my way over, "And where's Emerald?"
He only shrugs, "I was told if I came I got to go the movies. And she was making a phone call last time I checked, but I really have no idea now."
Jayson reaches out for me and I picked him up and sat in his seat, "You know Emerald like that?"
"We've been friends since 7th grade and we're housemates now." He shrugs again, "Strange you've never seen me before Wednesday, huh?"
"Very," I say, spotting two coffees. "Hey, is one of those yours?"
He nods, "You can have it, if you want."
I reach for the cup and frown once I see it. "What's wrong?"
"There's foam."
Enter awkward silence.
He reaches his slim, pale hand across the table and snatches the cup with his thin fingers. Bringing it to his mouth, he sticks his toungue in and licks the foam from the top of the cup. "What's the big deal with you and foam?"
I can feel myself turning red as his toungue basically plays with the foam, "I'm not all that into milk and it's products."
He shrugs, finishing it off and sliding the cup back over. "It's not really that bad. I bet I could make you like it."
I feel my face heating again, so I take a drink of the coffee. I think it tastes better that it would've.
"Seriously, you know. We should really hang out sometime."
"Nah, I—"
"Daddy," Jayson interrupts, laughing, "Stop poking me!"
My face drains of all color. One of my hands is grasping the coffee cups, and the other is hanging at my side.
I see him smirk, "I can tell you'd like that very much."
"Shut up," I try to calm myself, "I have too much on my plate to hang out with you."
"Like what?" He leans in, his head resting on his hands, "Please tell me. I'm dying to know."
"Like…like things…that don't include you!"
He laughs, pushing himself up from the table, "Look, if one of those 'things' just so happens to be cancelled, why don't you ask Emerald for my number? I'll be around."
Before I can say anything else, he's gone. I sigh, pushing myself up and putting Jayson on my hip. I feel more like a woman now more than any other time.
"Hey, Daddy? Do you like Unka Envy?" I flush again, this time worse than the others.
"I think it's time for a nap, Jayson."
