"ever seen cruel intentions?" Jay asked still laying on his side at the end of her bed. It's been a few hours and they've watched more than one movie together.

...kinda turned more into a movie night than a study night. Emma sat indian style on her bed near him and looked down a bit nervously..yea she had seen that movie, odd he would say it out of the blue..specailly with what Sean and her were doing behind his back too.

Emma shook her head no though and Jay raised an eyebrow, not believing her but shrugged and explained the movie, "Some girl bets a guy he can't get into another girls pants" he explained

"Nice" Emma rolled her eyes, smiling, "You wana relate to this movie by that one fact?"

Jay looked serious though and looked down at the blanket he laid on, "I relate to the guy..Sebastian or whatever his name is?" Jay says and went on, "But not with that...even though I am good with the girls." he added, smirking at her and she tried not to smile and he went back to being serious, "I guess I can relate with his character.. the sarcasm, the ego, the shitty attitude, ...and I can kinda relate to no parents around either."

Emma's mouth fell a bit... he was... kinda pouring his heart out to her. Or was it a lie? Is this what he did to make girls pity him ? Fall for him?

Emma slid a joke in, "Do you have an evil step sister too that you kinda want in bed?" she teased.

He grinned, still looking down, "No." he looked back up at her, "But I guess I do have a thing for girls with virtue too though."

Emma shut her mouth and eyed him back, biting her lower lip a bit and looked away, her breath had stopped in her throat.

Jay nervously looked away from her, knowing she knew that was his weak try of flirting but she didn't seem to buy it. He should of known.. she was better than that. But he meant it, he liked her virtue. Her innocence, beauty and even her giggles.

"So." Emma changed the subject, getting her binder open, "We're going to do the movie Cruel Intentions?" she asked and he smirked shrugging.

"sure."

"Ok. We'll watch it this weekend and then we'll go our seperate ways to write up our own summerys of how we connect to it." she smiled happily, glad they could do this assignment together.

"Well yours is easy. You're clearly the Reese Weatherspoon character." Taunted Jay and Emma laughed but when he looked away, she frowned.

Maybe in some ways she was the good girl, but right now...she couldnt help but feel like Katherine, the bad guy in the movie. She felt even worse when she saw her phone vibrate with a text from Sean.

Right... they had plans.

"Alright, you gotta go." teased Emma, getting up and grabbed Jay's arm to lift him from her bed and he grinned, grabbing his hat and went to upstairs as Emma noticed his jacket he let her borrow the other week and grabbed it.

"Wait, your jacket.. when you let me borrow it." she reminded, and he stopped on the stairs and turned, looking it and then eyed her.

"keep it." he informed.

Emma tilted her head and watched him turn, going up the stairs and she lightly smiled, holding the jacket again and held it hug like.

An hour later, Emma sat on her bed, lost in thought as her bedroom door opened and she yelped and rolled her eyes, "Sean!" she yelled and got up, running over as he jumped down.

"Sorry Im late." he said and looked around "He gone?"

Emma looked where Jay left and frowned but sighed and nodded back to Sean, "He left awhile ago."

"He stayed a bit though." Sean said, remembering Emma telling him not to come for a few hours, "That's good news. Jay usually in and out..never around much but he's making time for you."

"Good." Emma said though her eyes scanned down. Was she starting to feel bad? This was Jay! Didn't he deserve it?

"So what? You just studied" Sean asked sitting with Emma on her bed. Emma sat next to him, putting one leg under her and nodded with a simple shrug

"Got to know another more" Emma said, playing with her hands.

"Like how?" Sean asked, trying to get more insides on this and eyed Emma. Why was she acting so wierd?

"Just talked" Emma simply said

"Talked?" Sean repeated like it was stupid and Emma gave him a look. Ofcourse Sean didnt understand serious heart to heart talk.

"You said talking was good" Emma says.

What did Sean WANT her to do?

"At least make out or something with the guy" Sean told her with a look and her mouth fell.

"I don't want him thinking im some slut Sean" Emma snapped, and got angry. Weren't they back together now? Shouldnt Sean NOT want her to make out with Jay?

"How else do you think your gonna get him?" Sean snapped back and Emma painfully looked away.

"I play easy he won't fall for me" Emma said through gritted teeth

"Show some skin or something" Sean demanded

"How bout you just sell my body on the street huh Sean?" she bittered and got up, turning from him and tears actually worked up to her eyes. She huffed. Why was she CRYING!?

"Emma" he sighed, standing up and going behind her.

"you should go." Emma said, looking down sadly and shaking her head. She felt horrible..and she didn't feel good about anything tonight.

"Im sorry." he whispered in her ear and took her in his arms, kissing her shoulder and Emma's watered up eyes stared forward.

Was she even inlove with Sean? Ever? Or was he just good at messing around with her and her head? She could ever tell.

"Your right, you should play hard to get." Sean insisted, "I just want him to pay" Sean declared and turned her around as she sadly nodded and he leaned in, kissing her.

"I'll see you tomorrow?" he asked with those sad puppy eyes he worked on people all the time when he wanted his way.

Emma just merely nodded and he kissed her forehead and went to the window to jump back out.

"Emma" Sean said and she turned around once more to look at him.

"What?" she asked

"I love you" he said and they heard her door upstairs open.

Emma ripped her eyes off of Sean, shocked really he had just said that then glanced upstairs and eyed widened back at Sean, "Go!" she snapped and he nodded, climbing out."Em!" called Manny, coming downstairs and smiled when she was down and saw Emma, "Wondered where you were all night!" she looked around and eyed Emma, "Are you alone?"

"Yes." Emma squeeked and cursed at herself. She was a horrible liar when it came to Manny. The two were best friends, come on! "Well, Jay was here." she explained... leaving the Sean part out.

"Oh really?" smirked Manny at the mention of the bad boys name and giggled, sitting on the bed and Emma laughed, sitting with her

THAT WEEKEND...

Emma had a pretty lazy weekend, sporting her baggy black short shorts and a white jersey shirt with the random number of 23 on it. She yawned and noticed a note on the counter and stopped to read it

A note from Snake..

Em,

We went to Joey's for the day and are going to eat dinner there. If you want, come on over. If not, see you later tonight. Manny's out at Darcy's tonight. Money taped to this note if you wanna order some pizza!

Snake and Mom

Emma set the note down, ripping the money off. Jackpot! Add it to the list of her lazy day. She looked at the clock and snickered at herself. It was 2pm. Emma ran a hand through her soft wavy blonde hair and went to go to the bathroom when she passed her front door and it knocked.

She tilted her head, wondering who that could be, and walked up to it, swinging it open.

Jay stood there, hands in his pockets and the new fall air blowing passed him and he raised an eyebrow at Emma. . liking this comfy look on her. She was so.. naturally beautiful. . did he ever mention she had a smokin body?

"Nice shorts." he teased, and she remembered what she was wearing, eyes widening a bit.

She crossed her arms, "what are you doing here?" she snapped a little, but eyed him, kinda glad he came over.

"Movie date remember?" he reminded, walking in and she laughed a little, amazed he just welcomed himself and he just smirked back, taking his jacket off.

"It's not a date." she taunted back playfully and shut the door behind her and then led him down the stairs.

"ofcourse not." he teased back, grinning like a fool.

They both sat back on her bed, movie running on the tv on her dresser and when Reese Weatherspoon came on screen, talking about 'real love,' and when it was right to have sex. Jay couldn't help but smirk to Emma who even giggled a little, shaking her head no."I'm not like her character." she declared.

Jay eyed her hysterically amused, "you saying your not a virgin Greenpeace?" he asked, "Or you saying you don't believe in love?" he said the word with such fake grace.

"One, none of your business Jay" she taunted and he chuckled "two, Shut up Jay" she could feel herself getting hot, and tingly and she tried to hide her blush.

"Can't blame a guy for being interested." Jay joked, adjusting his seating and Emma laughed.

"Sure I can." she shot back, "If a girl does say she's not a virgin, the guy automatically asks.. how many? And no matter the count, the guy still thinks she's used up anyways.. a 'slut'." she went on, "And if the girl IS a virgin, she's always gotta worry about whose a threat and just wants that and not her."

After a moment passed, Emma got the courage to glance at Jay and he was staring at her, a different look in his eyes and Emma softened. He looked like he got that, and understood..

He looked down after a second and then tried to lighten the mood, "So you're waiting for someone who just wants you...nothing else." he looked her over, kinda like she was crazy... I mean yeah he got that fact guys liked virgins but even if Emma was one, he was sure any guy would want more with her, not just THAT, She was nuts to think different, she had beauty, brains and had humor, wit, kindness.. she'd be a prize for anyone.

the perfect girl.

"If there is such thing." snickered Emma, pulling her binder out to get to work.

"Thought Cam was your first love thing. Or Whatever.." Jay said rolling his eyes pretending like he was not really caring but snuck a glance at her for a reaction.

Emma was taken back he brought up Sean and then she totally even forgot about Sean, and the fact she was 'dating' him again yet didn't seem to of thought about him during this deep conversation about love.

"First boy friend maybe" Emma drifted, "Not first love."

"So you didn't love him?" Jay asked as that caught his attention

He always thought Sean was the bad boy in Emma's life that she couldn't get away from.

Maybe he was wrong.. or still right, but just cause she couldn't get away from him, didn't mean she loved him.

Wait. Why did Jay care who Emma loved?

"He brought a lot of hard drama in my life" Emma blurted out loud and stared down at her binder.

"He does have an eye to be a drama queen." smirked Jay

Emma couldn't help but crack a smile and Jay laughed to slowly stop, staring and in trance by her smile. Fuck she was beautiful. He leaned up and his hand soothed onto her cheek, leaning her down and like hypnotized by the way he looked at her, Emma let him guide her down to him, closer to his lips until they were inches apart, and then he kissed her softly. Emma closed her eyes softly and stopped breathing, feeling his lips carress hers and she wanted so badly to kiss back, and she did, moving her lips with his and he sat up more and the more they kissed, he moved over her, laying on top and he shut his eyes tight, hoping he wasnt dreaming.

His heart was even doing that fluttering thing, and speeding so fucking fast he pulled away breathless, staring at her and letting his fingers trace down her cheekbone as she slowly opened her eyes, panting a bit too and bit her lower lip, locking her eyes with his.

Wow. Was this what love felt like? Jay was awfully confused it was almost painful and he got up quick, off of her and she put her hair behind her ears, sitting up quick and she couldn't breath steadily.

Wow. That... she didn't know he was that good of a kisser. Even had HER breathless and stunned.

"I'll do my part of the work over the weekend." Jay said after clearing his throat and grabbed his coat.

Emma blinked and looked a bit hurt. He acted like nothing just happened. Was it bad? She totally thought that kiss blew them both away.

"See you Monday." he said, only shooting her a second look as he quickly walked passed the bed and up her stairs, jogging up them and she heard her front door slam closed as he left.

After a moment of letting this sink in, Emma's fingers graced her lips. They tingled still, and her heart skipped...and then her fingers went to her cheek, feeling something wet.

Tears.

Emma tried whipping them away. Why the hell was she crying!

Emma took a shower, and she ordered that pizza. She could barely sleep that night though, and she ignored all texts from friends, even Manny and even Sean.

Emma stood at herself in the mirror, shaking her head at herself, "Stick to the plan you idiot." she snapped at herself, "Don't fall for his act." she cursed at herself, not believing that earlier she actually let herself get upset over Jay's reaction to the kiss afterwards.

But still, she couldnt sleep.

And he didn't either, laying in bed and staring up at the cieling.
