Ch 10
Manny stood there speechless for a while. She didn't know what to say, so much happened in one day, everything was confusing and overwhelming. He stayed there on one knee.
"I am prepared to kneel here forever" he said softly. She looked at him; she loved him she would be stupid to say no.
"I will Jay, I will" Tears poured from her eyes. She needed to be with this man. He jumped up and wrapped his arms around her tiny frame. She cried into his chest. He kissed the top of her head and just held her. She finally looked up at him, and smiled. "I love you Jay I really do" he smiled and kissed her softly.
Manny and Jay went to Emma and Sean's the next day and the girls went out to lunch, Manny told Emma she had important stuff to discuss. The girls went off to a small Café. Emma ordered grilled salmon and Manny ordered a grilled chicken ceaser salad. Manny couldn't hold it in any longer, she secretly reached into her purse and slid the ring on her finger and pulled her hand out. Emma looked at her curiously.
"Can you pass the salt Em?" Manny asked. Emma nodded and handed her the salt Manny put her hand out to grab it and Emma dropped the salt and grabbed her hand. Emma got a huge grin on her face. Manny blushed.
"Did he?" Emma asked. Manny smiled brightly.
"Yea last night, finally" Manny said happily.
"O MY GOD MANNY!" Emma got up and hugged her, and then she sat back down with a huge grin on her face. "So…" she said happily.
"So you are going to help me plan and totally be my maid of honor right?" Manny asked. Emma nodded with a huge smile.
"Of course!" she said sweetly.
"Okay so I am feeling a spri…"
"Nice ring, did Jay give you that?" she turned and saw Amanda standing there. She was with a woman a little older then herself must have been her sister. Emma rolled her eyes and Manny turned around.
"Yes he did" Manny said trying to be nice.
"Well just so you know that ring was supposed to be mine, we picked it out, together, Jay and I" she said in a mean tone. Manny rolled her eyes.
"What ever Amanda, we are grown women and you are also pregnant the stress isn't good for the baby" Manny said trying to be mature.
"For your information, Jay called me today, to make sure I was okay, and he wants to have lunch with me one day, so you can consider yourself out of the picture" Amanda said with a smirk and turned and walked away followed by her sister. Manny turned and looked at Emma, jaw dropped.
"Now Manny…" Emma began "You just patched things up with Jay, you shouldn't freak out because she could be lying" Emma reassured. Manny sat there for a minuet, she didn't say anything. Emma looked at her.
"I know, it's just Jay" Manny stopped. "I don't know what to think, maybe I should talk to him" Manny said playing with her salad. Emma looked at her.
"Just think about it before you flip" Emma said sweetly. The girls finished up and paid their bill. When Manny got back to her house, she saw Angel playing in the living room.
"Mommy" Angel ran over and kissed her.
"Hi baby, where is daddy?" Manny asked. Angel pointed to his bedroom and then continued playing with her Barbies. Manny walked over and heard Jay talking on the phone.
"Look, I know you can't keep your mouth shut, so about this I need you to shut up for once" She heard him laughing and talking. "Yea yea, I love you too, but seriously I need you to back me up on this" Jay said sweetly. "Okay love you to, call you later" She heard Jay snap his phone shut. He walked out and stopped in his tracks when he saw Manny. He stood there confused.
"Was that Amanda?" Manny asked angrily. He looked at her confused.
"What?" he asked he was nervous she could tell by the look on his face.
"One day after you ask me to marry you, you're talking to her again" Manny said furiously.
"Manny please I can explain." Jay pleaded.
