Twist of a Twister pt2
"That'll be twenty-two fifty five." The pizza delivery guy said, looking at the receipt.
Emma pulled out a fifty dollar bill, taking the pizza boxes in exchange. "Keep the change." She smiled.
"Thanks!" he replied, with a wide smile, walking back to his car.
Emma closed the door, heading back to the kitchen. She set the two boxes side by side, pepperoni, olive, and sausage; next to the typical Cheese pizza for Emma.
Jay entered the room, stretching his arms over his head.
She looked over at him, with a smile, gathering some paper plates and cups. "Have a nice nap?"
"Yeah, only thing wrong with it was that you weren't next to me." He smiled, holding her from behind by her waist, kissing her neck.
Her eyes closed, and a smiled crossed her face. She leaned her body back against his, wrapping her arms behind her around his neck.
He continued to kiss her on the side of her neck, moving to the back, then over to the side once again.
"Jay…" Emma whispered.
He didn't answer, it was the perfect moment.
"Jay…" she called in a normal tone, "we can't."
Slowly he stopped kissing her, turning her around to face him. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just…don't want to go too far." She said.
"Emma this is me…the guy you went to the ravine with." He laughed.
She gave him a questioning look.
"I'm just kidding, but hey…it's totally cool; I'm not going to make you do anything you don't want to do." He told her, pushing back a strand of her hair.
She smiled, "Alright, dinner's here."
Jay sat at the end of the table, Emma sitting to his left. "Manny went home?" he asked, taking a piece of pizza.
Emma nodded, "Yeah…she was being so obvious that she's got a date with Craig tomorrow."
"Did she say it was Craig?" he asked.
"No, but there's no need for her to say it. I mean, they are so back and forth it's not even funny." She replied, sipping some water.
"You know…" he added, stuffing pizza in his mouth, "I personally think she has something up her sleeve, but I don't know her as well as you do."
"What do you mean?" Emma asked.
He shook his head, "I don't know, I'm just saying." He shrugged.
Emma thought for a moment, staring at the wall; shaking her head to get out of the thought.
"I didn't mean to get you worried about it, don't sweat it. Things should be fine at school tomorrow." He added.
Emma shook her head, "I can't go to school tomorrow, I'm supposed to be sick…my mom's going to call."
"So you get to spend the day with me. I was thinking of getting out there and try to get my old job back, maybe look for a new one."
Emma nodded, "Sure…although, there really is no rush to get back out there just yet."
"I know, I just really want to get back on my feet." He said.
Emma smiled at him, slightly worried about what was going on with Manny, what she would do about Jay once her parents came back, and wondering where they were going to end up.
As the night rolled in, the two of them ended up on the couch once again. A movie was playing, but neither was paying attention. They kissed each other fiercely, and passionately. Jay's shirt was already off, his hands running all over Emma's body. He touched her underneath her shirt, and that's where he stayed, until he slowly aimed lower tugging at her jeans.
"Wait…" Emma called out.
He sighed, breathing heavy sitting back.
She patted her hair and adjusted her clothing, "Sorry."
He put up a hand, signaling for her to not say anything and shook his head.
Emma stared at him as the phone started to ring. "It's mom…" she said, standing and walking over him to get to the phone. "Hello?" she answered.
"Feeling any better?" Spike asked, on the other line.
"Um, a little bit…I was just getting ready to head to- bed!" she screamed, as Jay gave her a pat on the butt.
"What's wrong?" Spike asked.
"Oh nothing, I'm watching a scary movie and something just kind of…jumped out." She said, giving Jay a look of warning.
He smiled, and gave a light chuckle.
"Alright, well we're coming home tomorrow night; Snake's cousins invited us to a picnic in the afternoon. So I'll call you again before we head out." She said.
"Ok, have fun."
"Bye."
Emma hung up, turning to Jay. "What's wrong with you, are you trying to get me in trouble?"
"No…I just wanted to see you jump," he said, putting his shirt back on, "which you did."
Emma shook her head, "I'm going to get my pajamas then go to my parent's room and go to bed."
"I'm heading in myself, pretty weird that making out can get you so tired." He added, following her downstairs.
She wanted to hurry, gathering her lotions and clothes that she didn't want to come back down for. "It's all yours."
"Thanks, so I'll see you in the morning then…" he said, almost as if he were asking.
Emma nodded, "Yeah." She stood on her tip toes to kiss his cheek, "Goodnight."
"Night." He replied, watching her walk up the stairs and shut the door. He looked around the room, and then sat on her bed. "Damnit…" he cursed, realizing he had absolutely no clothes. He got up, figuring he should tell Emma the situation and see about going to his house for some extra clothing.
Emma examined her body in the large mirror of her parent's bedroom. She stood in her underwear, examining her butt. "Could be a bit smaller." She muttered to herself, walking into the bathroom to wash her face, she turned on some warm water.
"Emma?" Jay knocked, listening for her to respond. "In bed already?" he asked himself, slowly opening the door, expecting to see her lying in the bed. "Em?" he called again. Finally hearing the running water from the bathroom, he walked over, "Oh Em…I just realized I have no clothes." He stepped in seeing she was half naked. "Whoa, and apparently neither do you."
"Jay!" Emma shrieked, covering her top as best she could.
Not able to take his eyes off of her, he stood with a smile on his face.
"Didn't we have this conversation earlier?" she asked, walking out of the bathroom reaching for her pajama top on the bed.
Suddenly her hand was lightly pushed away from the shirt. She looked up at him, still covering herself with her free arm. "Seriously… let me get changed."
He took her hand in his, bringing her body close, moving her other arm down so that he could see all of her now. "Your beautiful Emma." He said softly.
She searched his eyes, looking for the answer to why he was saying this. "Jay…"
"I know…" he interrupted, "this isn't like me to get all cheesy and romantic…but that's you Emma, you put me in that position to where I want to be like that for you."
"I'm not trying to change you, I like you for who you are." She replied.
He nodded, "I know, and I like you for who you are too." He kissed her on her lips softly, caressing her sides.
Emma wanted to melt in his arms, she loved his kiss, it felt different now. It was doing something that it hadn't done, perhaps due to the fact that she was half naked. She lifted his shirt above his head, so she no longer covered her own body. Tossing his shirt to the floor they went back to kissing, all day Emma had been telling him that she didn't want to go too far and here they were again, nearly naked, in her parents bedroom.
Jay took her in his arms, slowly laying her back on the bed, breaking off their kiss; "Are you sure this time?"
Emma sighed, "Yes…" she said, still unsure.
Jay looked at her; he could tell that she was still weary. "You're not ready."
Moving her head to the side, she grabbed her pajama top, sitting up to put it on; "You're right…I'm really sorry."
He sat next to her, rubbing her back, It's cool… we can just lay here."
Emma thought to herself, nodding, "No harm in sleeping next to each other." She smiled.
Jay pulled her close to him, rubbing her arm.
As Emma opened her eyes that next morning, the sun blinded her immediately. She turned to her side, expecting to see Jay in an awkward sleepy position with messy hair and snoring loudly; instead she found no one.
Slowly she sat up, realizing that he wasn't in the room at all. Figuring that he would be watching television, she headed for the living room, in the hall she could hear the T.V was on. "How did I know you were in the-" she started, but stopped when she came face to face with her step father, and teacher, Archie "Snake" Simpson.
"Hey." He smiled.
With hesitation and shock, Emma finally managed to speak, "Hi…"
Spike appeared from the kitchen, with some food for Jack, "Hi honey, we just got in this morning." She handed Jack over to Snake, "The picnic got cancelled, and the traffic was flowing well so we headed out; I saw you asleep in our bed and didn't want to wake you."
Still surprised she smiled, "I umm…oh, well that's good…um, I'm going to get dressed now; get going to school."
"Emma, are you feeling up to it?" Spike asked.
"I'm much better than yesterday, must have been one of those twenty-four hour bugs or something." Emma replied, already heading to her room.
Spike looked back at Archie, "Are you going to school?"
"My temp was assigned to teach today as well, you're stuck with me all day." He smiled.
Spike laughed, taking Jack to his high chair.
"You want to play games; that's fine…I'll play games too." Emma said to herself as she got dressed. When she came back up the stairs, she grabbed her backpack running out of the house.
"Don't want a ride?!" Spike called.
"No!" Emma yelled back. She walked fast down the street, angry that she had no clue where Jay was. She decided to head towards the ravine, since it seemed to be his favorite hangout spot.
When she got there, she was fuming mad, "Jay!?" she screamed, "Where are you?" she hollered, as she searched for him around the trees. The van was there, if she found him sleeping in there again she would scream. "Jay?" she called, as she opened the door. "Oh my god…" she whispered, staring in shock at what she saw.
"Emma?!" she could hear her name being called in the distance. But she didn't bother to turn around.
"Emma?!" the voice got closer, in the back of her mind she knew it was Jay calling her, and could hear as he ran up behind her. "Emma I heard your parents car this morning so I-" he started as he stood next to her, suddenly in shock at what he saw as well. "What the hell is this?" he asked.
"Yeah," Emma started, "what is this?"
Manny looked back at her, adjusting her tank top, as Peter pulled his pants back up. "Em…" Manny started, "let me explain this to you."
Still quite shocked, Emma just stared at the two of them.
"You see…" Manny said, starting to get nervous, "the day after you two were officially over, Peter came up to me and apologized, we had a long talk and it just…kinda…went from there." She said.
Peter eyed Emma up and down as he stepped out of the van, "And of course you know, I had a thing for Manny before I met you." He smiled slyly.
"Peter…" Manny sighed, stepping in front of Emma, "Do you believe me, are we still friends… I don't want us to go back to not talking."
She was talking so fast, Emma didn't know what to say or think.
Jay watched Peter closely, making sure he wouldn't have to knock his face in again.
"You hated me for dating Peter…and you turn around and date him yourself?" Emma asked quietly.
Manny smiled nervously, "He's a great guy…" she giggled. "And…you tried to tell me that, but I didn't listen…now that I know-"
"You slut!" Emma yelled.
Jay stood next to her, pulling her aside, "Em let's just go."
Emma turned back to peter, "You're an asshole."
"And like I said before, you're a bitch." He told her.
Jay moved Emma to the side, "Didn't I tell you not to call her that before?"
"What, you wanna fight me again; well my mom's not here to stop us, let's go at it right now." Peter provoked.
"No, let's all just leave." Manny insisted, pulling Peter's arm.
He shoved her off, then pushing Jay.
With quick reflexes Jay shoved him back into the van; repeatedly punch him in the stomach.
"Emma stop him!" Manny cried.
Emma wasn't even paying attention to them, she just wanted to hurt Manny, she shoved her to the ground. "You're a hypocrite!"
"Bitch." She whispered, getting up off the ground and shoving her back.
It was a scene like no other, two fights at the same time and same spot over the same old thing. It was more than obvious that Jay was winning the battle between him and Peter; but as for Manny and Emma it was hard to tell.
After shoving Peter into the dirt and leaving him helpless, Jay grabbed Emma by her waist, "Come on…let's go."
"I hate you Manny, our friendship is over, for good!" she yelled as Jay carried her off.
Manny rushed to Peter, helping him off the ground.
Emma snatched away from Jay, walking ahead of him.
"Hey wait." He said, catching up to her.
"What?" she asked angrily.
"Why are you mad, you and Peter are done…you're with me now." He said.
She stopped, "It's the fact that she left our friendship when I was with him, but now its ok for her." She said.
"I know, but you have to let it go." He said.
"What's with you? You were all for smashing the hell out of Peter just now." She said.
"The little idiot called you a bitch, I'm not standing for that." He said.
"You're getting soft Jay Hogart." She smiled.
"You're the only one that will ever see my soft side." He smiled, kissing her quickly.
Suddenly she hit him on the arm.
"What's that for?" he asked, confused.
"Why weren't you next to me this morning?" she asked.
"That's what I was trying to tell you. I went out to look for a job, apartment…you know all that stuff and I saw your parents' car in the driveway when I was on my way back. So I laid low." He told her.
She nodded, taking his hand. "Any luck?"
A smile crept across his face, "Come with me."
A/N: ooo, there's more secrets to come, I promise. And where is Jay taking Emma now? Suspense is coming your way next chapter, hehe. Reviews appreciated.
