I know that Paige usually gets along with Manny and JT but I decided to
have her be on Ashley's side for this story because they are really good
friends now. I am writing this chapter earlier then I first planned because
I feel like writing and mine as well continue while I have good ideas
running through my head right?Hope you all enjoy.
Chapter 4
I walked to my locker and put my stuff away just as Manny walked up. "Ready Craig?" I smiled and shut my locker. "Yeah lets go and pick out a movie at the video store." We walked out down the street and feeling especially daring and happy I held Manny's hand. It felt great to finally be able to go around with Manny without worrying about Ashley finding out about us. We walked into the video store and I let her choose A Walk To Remember since I wasn't really sure what I hadn't already seen. I paid for it and we walked to my house in silence. "Well here we are. I guess I'll get popcorn and you can put the movie in. Want anything to drink?" I handed her the movie and waited for a reply. "Yeah sure, water is fine. Don't take too long with the popcorn." I smiled and walked into the kitchen. I put some popcorn in the microwave and poured a glass of water from the fridge. I waited for the popcorn to finish, put it in a big bowl, and walked into the living room to sit next to Manny. "OK, I got your water and I guess the popcorn can go on the table." I don't know why but I felt a lot more relaxed with Manny then I did when I saw a movie with Ash. "Thanks Craig, I just started the movie. I am really happy to be here with you and I feel a lot better now that I have you all to myself" She said with a smile. I love her smile, it makes me want to smile back all the time. "Yeah I feel a lot happier too. I know that I made the right choice. I love you." I was surprised with myself that I actually said what I was thinking but I was glad when she said she loved me too and kissed me. I started to kiss her back and we didn't really pay attention to the movie.
After about 15 minutes we both tuned back into the movie smiling. Manny was definitely right for me. She wasn't as "uptight" as Ashley could be sometimes and she also wasn't too pushy about anything. "Craig I'm used to lying down when I watch movies for a long time. Do you mind if I use you as a pillow?" I caught myself smiling again when she asked that. I told her it was all right and when she laid down with her head half between my lap and my arm I felt closeness between us. From how comfortable she looked, I knew she felt it too.
We watched the movie until it was over at 5:45 and then sat back on the couch. Joey would be home soon so we decided just to talk. "Wow Craig, That movie was amazing. The way he still stayed true to their love when she was dying. Don't you think?" I had been thinking the same thing. I wondered if I would do the same if Manny was in that kind of situation. I didn't think she had a life list though. "Yes. I didn't know anything about it until I watched it just now but it was worth renting." I said. "Craig, Do you love me like he loved her?" Siting for a few minutes I considered if I really did. I know I love her because I feel a strong connection between us. "Manny I know that I love you and I was never as Happy as I am with you when I was with Ash." She looked half between tears and jumping for joy. "Oh Craig, I really love you a lot and I don't want to lose you again" I could tell she was holding back tears so I hugged her in hope to comfort her. " I promise I won't ever leave you."
Manny slowly sat back into the couch and I looked at the clock, knowing Joey would be home any minute. "Joey will be home soon. I will tell him and you can just sit here if you want. You won't have to say anything." I wasn't really afraid anymore because even though Joey thought Ash and me were real close, I knew he would have an understanding for my situation.
I saw the knob on the door turn and Joey walked in with Angie. He put his keys down and looked over at Manny and I. He told Angie to go upstairs and change into some play cloths because he sensed that we needed to talk for a moment. "Hey Craig who is your friend?" Joey asked with a questioning look on his face. "Well actually Joey this is Manny my girlfriend. I have been meaning to tell you that Ash and I broke up on Saturday. " I told him in a calm voice. "Oh really? I thought you had a great relationship going with Ashley? Well I won't question you too much since I know what it is like working out relationships between girls. Nice to meet you Manny." I was glad he took it as well as he did and I knew he wasn't just putting on an act because Manny was there. "It is nice meeting you too." Manny said trying to be polite. "Um Joey do you mind if I walk Manny home. We watched a movie and since it is kind of late I'd like to make sure she gets home safe" I said casually. "Yeah as long as your back in a half hour for dinner and I am guessing you have homework to do too." "Thanks. Yeah I'll be back by then and I'll do homework as soon as I am finished with dinner."
I slowly walked out the door with Manny next to me. We slowly walked to her house and Stopped outside her door. "Bye Craig I guess I will see you tomorrow. Call me?" "Sure I'll call you after I have some homework done" I kissed her passionately before saying bye and walking home. I would be sure to call her soon.
Well hope you like it. I think this is the best chapter yet buts its up to my reviewers to tell me what they think. I know Craig and Manny went on a date before but I don't think Joey ever met Manny so I had them be new acquaintances. That is 2 chapters in one day so I hope all of my fans are happy. I just felt like writing. Update Tomorrow maybe.
