Where I'll Always Be
Chapter 13: A Love for a Song
It was around 7:30 and Emma walked into her bathroom. She pulled on her grey jeans and her red shirt that read "Love" in rhinestones. She brushed her hair and put a ponytail to the side and pulled it to the front over her shoulder. She put on some cherry lip gloss. She srpayed on some perfume and went upstairs. She slipped on her grey matching jean jacket and put her keys in her pocket.
"Mom I'm leaving" Emma yelled
"Ok...be back by 12" her mom yelled back
"K" Emma said and walked out the door. She walked to The Dot resturaunt.
Emma opened the door to the resturaunt and walked in to find Chris sitting at the table with a red rose. She smiled as he looked out the window waiting. She walked up to the table.
"Um excuse me I'm looking for a very cute boy, he's smart, he Dj's and were suppose to be here on a date" Emma said as he looked up at her and smiled
"It depends..what's his name" Chris asked
" Believe it's Chris Sharpe" Emma said and laughed
"Yeah I think I saw him..and I think he left this for you" Chris said as he handed her the rose.
"OOOO Chris must be a real romantic if he buys a rose on the first date with me" Emma said
"Your probably right" Chris said and he started cracking up because he couldn't hold it in. Emma smiled and sat down.
"So what do you have planned for us today" Emma asked
"Well I thought we could first go to the Music Center to get free Cd's. I'm a member there. Before that we could go to the movies. Then after we go to my house listen to the music" Chris suggested
"Cool...um let's get going" Emma said
Chris stood up and put on his red hat on top of his black du-rag. He wore a pair of red sweats and a black t-shirt. They walked out of The Dot and walked to the theater.

MEANWHILE
Nikkie was helping her friends get an early start on packing. They put the luggage bags in the closet. Patty, LaLa, Christina, Junior, Johnathan, Jessica and Roberta came downstairs and sat on the couch talking. They were talking about the big party the next day. After a while they decided to watch a few movies. Jimmy came over. He and Nikkie were cuddled up on the couch. The lights were turned down and they watched "Save the Last Dance", "Ghost Ship" and "Juwanna Mann".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back with Emma and Chris. They were now at the Music Center. Chris swiped his member card and saw that he was entitled to 12 new Cd's since he hadn't been there in a while. They were walking around. Chris stopped to look at the newest mix cd's. Emma was walking around. She read about artist she never even heard of. She saw the Mariah Carey Cd she had been dying to get. It was called "Charmbracelet" she loved the song "Whenever you Call". She wanted to be able to dedicate that song to Chris. But their relationship was gonna have to start first.
She took the CD and walked up to Chris.
"You want that CD" Chris asked. Emma nodded
"Only that" he added
"What is something wrong" Emma said
"No.. I like Mariah..but you can take anything else" Chris said. Emma smiled
She took a Janet Jackson Cd, All-American Rejects, and 2 from 3rd eye blind. They went to his house. They went up to his room. His walls were covered in ads for parties and posters. You could hardly see a inch of the his wall. He had a electric piano, a big sound system, and a laptop full of music. She sat on the bed while he slipped in her Mariah Carey CD. He sat next to her. They talked for a while. Until number three played. She looked at the sound system. He looked at her.
"Is der somethin wrong" Chris asked
"No it's just... I like this song" Emma said.
"Oh..that's Brian Mcknight" Chris said
"Yeah...you're a fan" Emma asked
"I may like loud fast music. But I got a sensitive/ soft side" Chris said as he smiled. Emma loved his smile. Emma began to hum to the music as she flipped through one of his magazines. He looked at her. She looked up and her cheeks blushed and she had a shy smile on her face.
Chris took the magazine from her hand while he said
"Emma I need to say somethig"
"O..k go ahead" she replied
"Um this may sound cheesy and I am probably the first guy to just say things like this straight up but.... I like you Emma" Chris said
Emma smiled and said "Chris..I like you too..and I want to go out with you"
He smiled.
"I think you should be heading home" Chris said
"Yeah..can you walk me" Emma asked
"Sure" Chris said. They walked while holding hands. He reached the front steps of her house. "So I'll see you tomorrow at the party" Emma said
"Yeah" Chris said. He turned around and Emma went to go put her key on the door but Chris turned around and said
"Oh yeah.." He went up to her, put his finger under her chin and kissed her lips. She smiled and turned the knob. "Good Night" She said and closed the door.

The next day Nikkie was getting ready for the party. She wore baggy white pants and white sneakers. She pulled on a white tank top. She straigtened out her hair and slipped a white flower behind her ear. She slipped on her white kangol hat that tilted to the side. She wore silver medium sized hoops and a silver necklace with the letter J on it. (For Jimmy). The party was themed all white. Some of her cousins were wearing white skirt, some with shorts and some with capris. All of her cousins left to the club in a taxi. Nikkie waited for Jimmy. 5 minutes later he rang the door bell.
"Hey.finally"Nikkie said as she wrapped her arms around him and kissed him passionately.
"You look great"Jimmy said. She said the same to him. He wore white baggy sweats, a long white t-shirt and a silver chain. They left to the party. The walls were covered in white paint. White streamers hung from the ceiling. Some people had arrived and they were wonderfully dresses in white.
She looked towards the stage to see Chris in white baggy pants, a white t- shirt with a white sweater and a white du-rag along with his headphones around his neck. Along with Emma beside him watching him set-up the system. She was in white capris and a white t-shirt and whiet flip-flops. Manny walked through the door in a white mini-skirt, a white and light black floral top that had the sleeves hanging atleast 5 inches past her fingers. The shirt reached under her breasts. She was with Craig who was wearing what all the other guys were wearing.
Paige and Spinner walked in. Along with Hazel and Marco. Ashley was with her new boyfriend. His name was Jeffery. (Ellie couldn't make it, but she comes into the story later on). Terri walked in by herself. But after a while she met a guy there. They talked and began dancing. His name was Anthony.
A while into the party Nikkie went up on stage.
"Ok everyone. I wanna thank you for coming to the party. And I wanna say Blair you did a great job with decorations. (Everyone clapped) Now everyone I know yall have heard this song. And I definatly know all of yall know the dance to it. Ok.. everyone pair up with your guy or girl or friend. And Chris get off stage and let your cousin get a go on the system. And Jacob let it play" Nikkie screamed. Everyone clapped and centered the dance floor. They were spread out. Then the song "Step in the name of love" played by R. Kelly.. Everyone began to move to the music. When the part for the steps came in place. Everyone knew it. They all did it together at the same time. Jimmy and Nikkie were smiling and laughing.
"STEP,STEP-SIDE 2 SIDE, ROUND AND ROUND, HIT THE GROUND, SEPARTATE AND BRING IT BACK AND LET ME SEE YOU DO THE LOVE SLIDE" the music said
Everyone was laughing and having a great time. After a while of dancing and fun it hit 12:00 and everyone was getting ready to leave. Nikkie, Jimmy, Craig, Manny, Spinner, Paige and Terri stayed behind to help out with a aquick clean-up. Everyone else left home. Then they left together to the train station. Everyone was walking while Manny and Craig walked ahead of them talking. All of a sudden Manny collapsed to the ground. Nikkie ran over to her.
"Manny, Manny are you ok" Nikkie asked. Manny's eyes were hardly open. She was trying to talk. Her face was pale and flushed.
"Someone call an ambulance" Craig said as he held her head up. Paige took out her cell phone and called.
