K guys, Erin's back! This chapter is kinda mushy (I told you I'm a sucker for romance LOL) so be forewarned! I'm so beyond glad how many people are liking this and have me on their author alert/favorites list. All of you are soooo great! I heart reviewers!
Well, I hope you like this chapter. Ok, first before you read though: This chapter is going to be a two parter. This is part one. I know, I haven't done anything like this before: But get used to it cause I might do this 2 part stuff in the future. So read and enjoy (try NEway) and leave me a nice review! K, I'll shut up now and let you guys read.
Emma awoke Saturday Morning to rain pelting her window. Great, just great. Now it'll make it even easier to do something today! She thought as she pushed back the covers and lazily stretched.
Emma sat on the edge of her bed and thought about the call last night. How good it was to hear from one of her college friends. She had gotten a phone call from Paige Michalchuk; gushing the latest about her and her boyfriend Gavin Mason, or 'Spinner'. The 'honeybees' had gotten back together at the beginning of last year. They were both going to University of Wisconsin-Madison. Paige was majoring in fashion, and Spin was undecided as of yet. Emma had heard that UW-M was a big party school, so it kinda figured that they both went there. Paige and Spinner were always the party types.
And also, Emma had heard from Manny about Craig. She hadn't ever talked to Craig personally since he left for college, it was all just hearsay. But she did hear that he was still with Ashley Kerwin, which was good. They were always cute together. Ash was going to Northern Illinois University, so the couple was in the same state but at different colleges. Craig had wanted to go to a different college than his girlfriend from the get-go. He felt like he had screwed up enough in his life already, he didn't want to screw up his college education as well. However, they were going for the same major. They both absolutely loved music, and both often used it as an escape.
"So......" Emma sighed, rousing herself from her thoughts. "What am I gonna wear today?" Emma didn't really have anything planned for the day; however, she wasn't gonna just throw on scrubs either. She was hoping her and Sean could do something later, so she wanted to make herself at least a little bit presentable. Going over to her closet, she settled on a layered light pink over dark blue tank top and slightly ripped, comfortable jeans faded to a bluish brown color. She went over to her full-length mirror and pulled her long blonde hair into two low pigtails, then put in silver hoop earrings. Then, satisfied with her appearance, started upstairs.
"Morning, sunshine." Snake greeted, with Jack in tow. The two were on their way downstairs when Emma saw them. "Morning, dad, where's mom?" Emma had become accustomed to calling Snake 'Dad'. She still thought about Shane, but since she hardly saw him decided to lend the title to Snake. "Oh, Spike's at the salon, won't be home until late this afternoon." "Alright. Morning, Jack." Emma went over to her toddler brother and listened to him say her name in his baby talk. "Hi Emma sissy!" Jack exclaimed. Emma giggled in return, ruffling Jack's already messy hair. Her little brother was so cute. "So you got any plans with Sean today sweetie?" Snake asked as Emma walked over to get some cereal. "I don't know, we'll see." She poured herself Cinnamon Toast Crunch, her breakfast usual. She loved the stuff and ate it up almost as fast as she poured. Then she went back downstairs to brush her teeth and hang out in her room some more.
Emma finished brushing her teeth, and looked at her reflection in the mirror. "You know what? I feel like some makeup today." She told no one in particular, wiping her mouth. She walked back into her room and applied some eyeliner, mascara and lip gloss, then picked up her light blue transparent phone and dialed her boyfriend's number. She took the phone over to her bed and laid down on her back, twirling one of her pigtails. She listened as the phone rang three times. "Come on, Sean, pick up." She whispered to the phone. Finally a deep heart-wrenching voice could be heard saying hello.
Emma smiled from cheek to cheek at the sound of Sean. He had such a low voice that always made her heart flutter. She gazed dreamily into the distance as he spoke to her. "Hey you." Emma cooed as sweetly as she could. "Hey babe, what's goin' on?" he asked. "Not much, how about you?" She returned the question. "I'm alright. Although I'm bored as hell. This is gonna be a long day, that's for sure." He sighed, and Emma could hear him silently asking her to get together. "Ok, Sean, do you want to do something today?" "Sure, Em. That's one of the many things I love about you. The way you know just what I'm thinking when I'm thinking it." Emma smiled again, though the first smile she was wearing hadn't left her face since the minute she had started talking to her love.
"Ok, sounds good. Wanna see a movie?" she offered. "Yeah, that sounds great. So, movie at 3?" Emma started to say goodbye, but Sean wasn't finished. "Ok, but make it a kiddie one or something we don't really wanna see." Sean asked. Emma looked at the phone confused. "What's the point of going to a movie if you don't want to see it, hon?" Sean laughed. Emma put her hand to her heart. She could listen to him laugh forever. "Well, Nelson, if you go to a movie you don't want to see, you can sit in the back and make out! There's thing I must teach you yet, young grasshopper." Emma giggled. "You're sly, Cameron. So sly." They laughed together, then said their goodbyes. Sean Cameron-Emma Nelson goodbyes were usually 5-10 minutes. "I love you Emma." Sean said into the phone, wearing a big smile himself. He loved constantly reminding his girlfriend how he felt about her. "I know," Emma responded softly, "and I love you too Sean. More than you'll ever know baby." She plastered a huge smile on her face as she responded to one of their many declarations of love.
She hung up, but not before kissing the phone so Sean could hear. He kissed the phone back, and hung up himself.
After just sitting and smiling for a few minutes, Emma jumped up excitedly. "Well, I guess today won't be so boring after all!" She thought, reveling in the possibilities that evening would bring.
JT woke up with a big smile on his face. He had just had the most wonderful dream he could ever remember having about a girl.
He was in a sea of wildflowers, holding hands with a girl, just walking. She didn't have a face, at least not in his dream. He was just walking and holding her hand. Her yellow sundress seemed to float in the breeze. She didn't have a face; however, she had a mind-blowingly beautiful body. All the sudden he saw a stunning array of flowers, picked them, arranged them in a bouquet, and handed them to the faceless beauty beside him. As he did, the face of Manuella Santos looked back up into his eyes with a big smile from ear to ear. She looked at him like that for a while, then leaned up and entranced him with the most passionate kiss he had ever received in his life.
"What a dream." JT sighed, still caught up in his fantasy. He wanted to keep his lips meshed with Manny's for as long as he could manage. He knew sooner or later he would come upon the real thing and fantasy would once again meet reality, but until then she would be enchanting him in that yellow sundress.
"So, what do I have going for today?" JT wandered over to his calendar and stared at it for a while. Bolded in a big red heart read 'Me and the beautiful Manny's one month anniversary'. "Oh wow, it's already a month?" JT asked to the empty room in disbelief. To him, it seemed like just yesterday he had finally gotten up the nerve to ask her out, again. He was overcome with joy at the thought of their first 'special occasion', however. The last time they dated he couldn't remember getting to celebrate any 'occasion' with her. "So I celebrate with Manny tonight then. Awesome!" JT said, ecstatic.
He turned on the radio, and flipped to his favorite Toronto Rock station. The song playing was Van Halen's 'Why Can't This Be Love.' He began singing to it. He loved the song; it was just another excuse to get lost in fantasies of him and Manny.
No I can't recall any love at all
Baby this blows 'em all away
It's got what it takes, so tell me why can't this be love?
Straight from the heart, oh, tell me why can't this be love?
JT belted the refrain. It was so perfect for him and his wonder of a girlfriend. "I wonder if she knows it's our anniversary?" He asked the empty room once again. He picked up the black cordless in his room and dialed her number. She had a private line for her phone.
"Hello?" JT's heart stopped at her voice. It was so soft and sultry. It was a voice JT had lived for since freshman year. "Hey sweetie." JT smiled. "I had the most amazing dream about us last night." he added. "Really? What was it about?" Manny squealed, and JT could feel himself melting. He loved it when she squealed. It was so cute. Just like her. "Well, first of all, I was walking in a field of flowers." "Ok, I'm listening." Manny said softly. JT smiled again and continued. "Well, I was holding hands with this girl, who didn't have a face but had a killer body. Well, I picked some flowers and arranged them in a bouquet and handed them to her, and your face looked up into my eyes for a long time with this huge smile, then you gave me the most amazing kiss I've had in my life." "Awww, that's cute! I love it!" Manny squealed again, making JT laugh. She was so awesome. He thanked her every day for giving him a second chance to show her how he really felt about her.
"Hey baby." JT cooed, trying to get his voice as deep and sexy as he could get it. "Hey you." Manny cooed back. "Go over and lean your forehead against the wall." JT looked at the phone, confused. "Why would I do that?" "Because I am, and if you're still in the dreamy mode you can imagine we're leaning our foreheads against each other." "Oh ok. That sounds great." JT went over to the wall and leaned against it like Manny asked him to. "Are you?" She wondered aloud. "Yeah I am. It's great." JT answered, smiling dreamily and closing his eyes.
"Hey, I remembered what I was going to ask you. Did you know it's our one month today?" Manny was silent for a second. "It is?" She freaked. "Well, we gotta celebrate, and I gotta pick out something cute to wear!" "Don't worry about it babe. You could come in scrubs and slippers and you'd still be the most beautiful girl in the room." JT responded. Manny sniffed. "JT, that is absolutely so sweet oh my god!" JT smiled again, and turned so he was leaning with his back to the wall. "Baby, there's something I want to tell you." JT started, but let her cut in a response before he continued. "Yeah, what stud?" Manny giggled. JT grabbed his heart. He definitely had to let this girl know how he felt.
"I was going to wait until tonight, seeing as it's our first occasion we've ever had together. But I gotta tell you now. I know we've only been going out for a month, but I've had a hardcore crush on you for 3 years, ever since you changed your look. I was heartbroken when you dumped me sophomore year, and I'm unbelievably glad you're back in my life today and you gave me a second chance. What I want to say is; Manuella Santos, I think I'm in love with you. You mean the world to me sweetheart." Manny was sniffling on the other line at JT's speech. She was so touched that she had started to cry a little. "Oh my god! James Tiberius Yorke, I love you too! Oh my god that was so absolutely sweet oh my god!" "It's ok, Manny, don't cry." JT said passionately. "I'll pick you up at 6 ok babe?" "Ok JT." He could hear Manny wiping her eyes. "I wish I was there to wipe your eyes for you Manny. I love you so much baby." He smiled. "Ok, stud, I'll see you then." Manny said as sexily as she could, then, on a more passionate note, added "I love you too." She kissed the phone, and hung up. "Bye darling." JT said to the already hung up other end. He hung up his own phone. JT smiled once more as he felt a tear roll down his own cheek. He couldn't help it; he was in love.
K guys, hope you liked that one. Like I said, this is the first part of a two-parter. The 2nd part will be up sometime soon (I hope) and it will be our two couple's wonderful dates.

(I like them 2getha too, obviously, otherwise I wouldn't be writing them!) So I'll try to keep them together for you all. K? Cool. I'll be back, don't you worry ::devious smile::
