The three young ladies sat on Manny's bed. They were at the Santo's
residence, and helping Emma get ready for her "date" with Craig. "So he
asked ya out huh" Christal said lying back on the bed, eating Milk Duds.
"No—I asked him really" Emma said with a worried look on her face. Maybe she should have waited for him to ask. Also not make such a big deal about it. "It's cool...it is the 21st Century, girls can ask guys out" Christal said finally getting up to the ringing of her cell phone. "Hello" she said hearing a familiar voice.
"Hey baby" she said to Jimmy. "Umm...just chillin" Said Christal as she fluffed her hair, and looked in a mirror. She was wearing gray shorts with pink trims, and a pink and gray beater. With Silver Cartiers hanging from her ears, pink and gray flip-flops on her feet Christal walked to the door. Seeing Jimmy standing on the front porch, dressed in black SJ shorts and a white T-shirt that read "Sean John" in black, with black and white Jordan's on his feet. Christal embraced her boyfriend and said her good bye's to Manny who was watching T.V—a Soap Opera as usual. And to Emma who was in the mirror.
AS they went and bought their 6:53 tickets to see the movie Ladykillers. They'd get out at eight, and probably find something to do, maybe catch late dinner or just watch a movie.
Christal's butter-pecan fingers ran through the red and white ticket. It was around 6:20 P.M, and their movie would start at around 33 minutes. The couple entered the main lobby were all the games were. Pulling a five out of her pocket, Christal headed to the counter, as she got her change—in quarters.
Playing some death game, Jimmy grinned as his girl asked for competition. He could kill her any day. They played all sorts of games, during to 33 minutes waiting. Finally they bought their popcorn, and pop, with other items.
Walking down the aisle of the room, as the previews flashed through, they took a seat. Sitting on the velvet colored chair, Christal slowly ate her milk duds, as the movie came out. After much of laughing, making-out, and eating. It had finally been and hour and 47 minutes, the movie was over.
AS they walked out the room, they knew it was 8:00, but weren't ready to leave the theatre.
Craig picked up Emma, as he was to so they could go to a movie. It was 7:54, and they had to get to the theater, to get tickets for the 8:00 show. Knowing she was at Manny's from the call he received, they headed toward the theatre.
The ride was basically silent; apart the Linkin Pak Meteora CD, Craig was playing. Dressed in black pants, and a black shirt with a guitar on it, reading "Rock star" Craig, ran a hand through his hair and walked inside the Movie theatre.
Purchasing the tickets for the both of them, Craig thought that was just a nice thing to do. He was after all a gentleman, he was just the type to do that. A smile went across Emma's face. They were actually together—alone.
Buying their appetizers, they headed for the "Secret Window" Screening room.
Jimmy and Christal, wanted to see Secret Window. So they snuck into the Screening room, and took a seat. Christal couldn't help but giggle a bit; the chances were that they could get caught. But it was pretty unlikely. Since no one ever comes to check your ticket now days.
Emma sat back as the previews flashed and the movie was now starting. It was time for her to make her move. She kept hearing giggling behind her and a boy's voice mumbling something. It was probably a lovesick couple. Something she wished her and Craig could be. The smart blonde didn't turn around, not wanting to seem nosy.
As she saw Craig's hand reach into the popcorn, and there it was. Her moment, to reach, just to get a touch of his soft guitar playing hands. As they touched, Emma was lost. His hand felt like something else. "Oh, sorry" she said quickly not wanting him to know she did it purposely.
"It's okay" Was all Craig said. He took a handful, and started chewing. "This guy is pathetic, just because a girl leaves him, he spends, months stuck in the middle of nowhere, wasting his life" Craig muttered grinning.
"Dang, he loves her" Christal whispered keeping her eye on the film. "Whoa, what a big copyright infringement" Emma said to the rights of the book". Christal was talking to Jimmy when she heard the comment. "That voice..." she mumbled. She couldn't place it but she has heard it before.
Christal tapped Jimmy on the arm. "Hey...that's Emma," she said pointing to the blond in front of her. Jimmy looked and shockingly there was Emma glaring at Craig, as if he was some luxurious piece of candy, which she just wanted to eat up.
When the movie was coming to an end. Emma silently took her earring off. Dropping it next to her feet. When it was finally over Jimmy and Christal started to head out to the bathroom. Having had plenty to drink.
"Oh gosh where is my earring?" Emma said with a look of worry as people started heading out. "How did it fall off?" Craig asked a bit confused. It seemed odd. Emma quickly thinking came up with saying "I guess when I brushed my hair, it seemed a bit loose" she said pretending to look.
Craig looked around a bit then sighed. "Well, they are going to turn on the lights in a bit so lets just wait". Said Craig. When the lights finally came flashing on, Emma glanced at the gold dolphin earring on the floor. Craig, also seeing it tried to motion for it, not seeing Craig, as his hand was pretty far. Emma tried to reach, as Craig tried to be a gentleman, and stopping to get it.
As Emma brushed some popcorn off her pants forgetting Craig was in front of her. As she stood, their lips gently brushed off of each other. "Sorry" Craig quickly said apologizing for his behavior.
"So would ya like to go out again sometimes" Emma said looking at Craig. She felt that when she looked into his eyes, all she could see was his soul. One goal, besides changing the environment...was to make Craig Manning her boyfriend. "Umm sorry, but I don't think I can, Ash will be back, and we could spend some time," he said honestly.
He had a feeling that maybe Emma had a little crush on him. She was hinting around, and he had seen a smile on her face, that was trying to be hidden. "Not to be rude, but I just don't like you like that Emma" Craig said.
It wasn't that he was being mean, just honest. Emma was hurt and speechless. She didn't know what to say. She didn't want to deny her feelings, and on the other hand embarrass herself.
Craig excused himself as he headed towards the bathroom. Coming out of the lady's lavatory, Christal headed towards Jimmy who was outside. Grinning she told him what she heard.
Jimmy didn't find it at all funny, but pretty amusing enough to break a smile. Emma Nelson must have taste for all kinds of boys. Quickly heading to Manny's house, who sat there watching tapes of the soap "Passions".
Giggling Christal headed off to the basement, as they started watching Music Videos. They both had a knack for hip-hop, rap, and R&B. Within moments Emma came through the door with a weird expression.
It seemed as if she was happy, but then again saddened. Pressing the pause button Manny got up, and headed towards Emma. "What happened?" With a snobby expression, that now came across her face Emma let out the words "Press stop, I do not want to see some blonde, in an old dirty blue outfit... stuck" she paused squinting. "What seems to be a pit". Grinning Manny did as she was told, and sat on her couch Indian style.
"Well...it went well, just that he said he didn't have feelings for me...I just don't feel like talking about it" Emma said curling up on the living room floor.
"No—I asked him really" Emma said with a worried look on her face. Maybe she should have waited for him to ask. Also not make such a big deal about it. "It's cool...it is the 21st Century, girls can ask guys out" Christal said finally getting up to the ringing of her cell phone. "Hello" she said hearing a familiar voice.
