I DON'T ANYTHING DEGRASSI! However, I do own Bella, Gerry & Jeff, and I
mean Christine's husband Jeff, not Toby's dad. I hope you like the story so
far, and please R & R, it really helps! Because I live in Australia, there
might be some Australian spellings, so I'll warn you. Anyway, on with the
chapter!
Chapter 10: Lunchtime
It's now the day before Ellie & Jimmy's wedding. Ellie's morning sickness is under control and the plans seem to be running smoothly. On the Emma & Toby front, everything seems to be fine, but Manny has organized a lunch for Her, Craig, Sean, J.T., Toby and Emma, so will all go well with the lunch?
Emma & Manny's apartment
"The white dress or the red dress Em?"
"Manny, I think there just a little too risqué for lunch."
"Em, this is who I am."
"Manny, the you that got you pregnant?"
"That was a mistake. You know that. Also, I haven't slept with anyone since that night."
"Okay then. But I think you should stop being like that, you're 19 years old!"
"Look, can we please move on? I would have kept that child if I wasn't in that accident!"
"Okay. Wear the red one; it's got a higher neckline then the white one."
"Right then. What are you going to wear?"
"Well, this." Emma pulled out a grey pinstripe skirt suit. She was going to match with a white shirt that had a huge collar. Then, she was to add some nice, black pointy shoes with stiletto heels.
"Emma, you have to do a bit of sexy!"
"Manny, no. The place we are going to is where all the work buffs go for lunch. So a suit is what all the other women will be wearing. Anyway, this is a lunch with out friends. They personally don't care how we dress."
"Yes, well I always have to be presentable."
"I understand that Manny. But the cute Manny was always the better Manny."
"Here we go again! I've dressed and looked like this since 9th grade!"
"Right then, if we're going to fight, I could always just leave again."
"No Emma. Face up to the truth for once, you've always stood up for what you believe in!"
"Well, I hope you're happy now, it's time to go, and if any guy makes a pass at you, I'll hit them in the mouth."
"Emma!"
"What? Every guy in that restaurant will stare at a pretty woman with a bright red dress with a plunging neckline on wont they? Why don't you were something a bit more like this?"
Emma pulled out a green spotted dress with a halter neckline with spaghetti straps. It was quite short, and seemed to be Manny style.
"Em, that's beautiful, where did you get that?"
"Well, it was going to be your birthday present, but I thought it'd look nice for lunch today, but seeming you wanted to wear those dresses..."
Manny sped out in a flash with the green dress on. It suited her perfectly. She teamed it with some petit shoes and bag, and curled her hair at the bottom. She looked a bit like someone from the sixties, but Emma thought anything would be better then the stupid dresses she was considering to wear. They had a long chat about old times, and finally pulled out in front of the restaurant. Emma was right. There were work buffs everywhere, suits in every different colour as well. Manny felt strange at first, but when all the women stared in awe, she was content.
"Manny, when is everyone going to be here?"
"They should be here now. I said 12!"
J.T, Toby, Sean and Craig all strutted out of a taxi in suits. Toby took Emma's hand, but soon let go when he saw Sean staring. Craig grabbed Manny and picked her up and gave her a long hug, but Manny smacked his arm when everyone was watching. They all went into the restaurant, and sat down at a large table covered with white & gold linen.
The gang all had a lunchtime filled with memories, but Sean had a serious case of the blues. Why wasn't he the one sitting with Emma? Why couldn't he touch her leg under the table? He just sat there until he was brought back to reality.
"Sean, remember you and the tough crowd?"
"Come on J.T., that's history!"
"Well, it was amazing, how could you be in Eggers gang?"
"I don't know, and I don't care. It doesn't matter anymore!"
"Whoa! Sean. Calm down! I didn't mean any offence mate!"
"Sorry. My temper got in the way."
"So guys, what are you planning to do to Jimmy on his bucks' night?"
"Manny. We can't tell you that!"
"You can! Come on guys! It's not like we'll go rushing to Ellie to tell will we?"
"Well we're going to tie him to a pole in his undies!"
"Come on! Be a bit more original Craig, I can tell you're lying!"
"Whatever Emma, I'm not going to tell!"
"Fine. I'm going to the bathroom, and you'd think they'd have a separate for boys & girls!"
"Well I got to go too."
"Toby!"
"Craig, shut up. I need to pee!"
"Whatever man!" Manny giggled as Toby followed Emma, Sean was jealous and J.T. was doing a running commentary. As you can see, if Emma & Toby we're on an airplane, they would've joined the mile high club. But there was no such club for the ground.
Well, that's the end of this chapter! Preview for chapter 11: it's the morning of the wedding. How did Jimmy's bucks' night go? Also, someone finds out about the pregnancy!
