-Chapter Six-
The two girls headed to Joeys house around 4:45. He was outside playing with Angela when the two girls arrived. Angela went running as soon as she saw Emma, and Emma picked her up and gave her a big hug.
"Hey Ang, long time no see," said Emma," and Joey Jeremiah - this is my cousin Christie. She just moved here and she's going to be living with my family for a while."
Joey shook Christie's hand. "It's nice to meet you Mr. Jeremiah," she said.
"Please call me Joey," he insisted," it's nice to meet you too. I hope you enjoy yourself here."
Christie nodded. "Well girls I'm off, Craig should be back within a few hours and he'll take over from there."
Emma glanced at Christie and the two girls shared a smile. "Okay Joey," said Emma," we'll see you later."
Angela blew him a kiss," Bye daddy!" Joey waved and said goodbye and with that he was off.
The girls took Angela inside and sat on the floor in front of the couch.
"So Angie, what kind of fun stuff has been going on since the last time I babysat you?" asked Emma.
"Craig takes pictures, and he takes me to the park. I love him," she said in a sweet voice.
She looked at Christie, "Are you going to baby-sit me too?"
Christie smiled," Anytime you see Emma, I'll be there too."
"Yayyyyyyyy," Angela screamed as she ran around the room.
Christie and Emma laughed and started talking about Craig and how things would go when he got home.
Angela came over and started to listen to the girls. She scrunched up her face and looked at Christie, "Are you Craig's girlfriend?"
"No no," Christie laughed," I'm not Craig's girlfriend."
"Yet," said Emma. Christie elbowed her in the stomach.
"I want you to be Craig's girlfriend, I like you." Christie stretched out her arms and gave the little girl a hug.
"I like you too Ang." She said
About an hour later Christie and Angela were sitting on the couch playing a game, while Emma was in the kitchen. Angela heard a noise and ran over to look out the window.
"CRAIG'S HOME!!!!" she yelled.
Christie smiled as her stomach did flip-flops. It was almost time. Angela ran around over to the door when Craig was just walking in.
"CRAIG," she yelled wrapping her little arms around one of his legs.
"Hey Angie. Did you have fun with Emma?" said Craig
"Yeah, but."
"But what?" Craig asked as he picked the little girl up and put her on his shoulders running into the next room of the house. Angela was laughing so hard she never got to finish her sentence, but Craig would soon find out what else Angela had to say.
In the next room Christie could her laughing and the sounds of airplane noises coming from the two and she quietly laughed. She stood up to see what was going on just as they came around the corner, spinning. Craig was wearing the same thing, as he was that day at school except now he had a camera around his neck. He looked so cute playing with his little sister, Christie smiled.
Craig turned around and notice someone standing there watching them, except it wasn't the someone he'd been expecting. It wasn't Emma, it was Christie.
"Hey Craig!" Christie greeted him with a friendly wave.
"Christie, hi," He said happily, putting Angela down on the ground so she could run off to find Emma," did you come with Emma to baby-sit?"
"I did. Emma told me that you were Angela's brother and we figured that you would probably be here later. I couldn't pass that up."
Craig smiled as he walked past Christie setting down his camera and sitting on the couch. Christie turned around and walked over, standing in front of him.
"Craig, can I ask you something?" she said.
"Sure, what do you need?"
"Well, I'm sure by now you know that you were the first guy to catch my eye when I set foot in Degrassi right?"
"Yeah.."
"I was just wondering, would you want to go out with me tomorrow night? It is Friday and all..." Christie trailed off.
A huge smile broke out on Craig's face. "Absolutely," he replied, "I would love to!"
Craig stood up and Christie gave him a hug, just as Emma and Angela were walking out of the kitchen.
"Well then it's settled," she said.
"I'll call you later and we can talk about it, okay?" asked Craig. Christie nodded.
Craig picked Angela up as Christie and Emma headed to the door. Emma walked out and Christie turned around with one last smile. "I'll see you later Angela, it was nice to meet you." She walked out after Emma and they started home.
"Craig?"
"Yeah Angie?"
"She's pretty."
"Yeah she is."
"I like her."
"Me too Ang, Me too."
