Chapter 6- Going too far

4 months later

"Craig and Ashley" Mr. Simpson said

They were paired up for a project in Media Immersions.

"No" Craig moaned

"Yippee" Ashley exclaimed

Craig started banging his head on the table.

"Is there a problem Mr. Manning?" Mr. Simpson asked

"Of course not Mr. Simpson" Craig sarcastically said "Everything is fine"

He laid his head on his desk. Ashley scooted her chair over to him.

"This weekend will be fun!" Ashley said

"Yeah fun" Craig said

"Class is dismissed" Mr. Simpson said "Don't forget the project is due on Monday you have all weekend."

"I'll see you after school" Ashley whispered in Craig's ear and she left.
Manny and Jake were holding hands and walking home. Ginger was behind trying to get there attention. They had been going out for almost 4 months now.

"So what is it today sausage or cheese?" Manny asked Jake

"Your pick" Jake replied

"Than I choose cheese because I hate sausage and the only reason why I eat it is because of you" Manny said with a smile

"Can you two love birds wait for me" Ginger asked trailing behind

They both smiled at each other.

"Walk faster." They said in unison

Ginger started walking faster.

"My heels can't go this fast" Ginger complained

"Do you want me to give you a piggy back ride?" Jake asked

"That would be helpful" Ginger said

Jake and Manny stopped walking.

"I'd rather give Manny one instead" Jake said with a smile

Manny jumped on his back and Jake started running away. Manny's hair was blowing in the air. She really never trusted anyone with giving her a piggy back because Emma dropped her once. But with Jake she felt safe. Like the time that Craig gave her a piggy back ride. Manny was laughing as they went down the street.

"You guys" Ginger said out of breath "I...I can't keep up"

"Should we wait for her?" Jake asked

"I think it's fair" Manny replied

She got off of his back. And they started walking slower. Ginger caught up.

"Gosh you guys. We're almost at Manny's and you make me run in my heels half the way their"

They get too Manny's house.

"Oh my gosh I am ready for some pizza" Manny said opening the door

Ginger's cell rang

"Hello" she said "Hair appointment? Oh my gosh I totally forgot I'll be there ASAP"

Ginger gave Jake and Manny a smile. "I have to miss pizza you guys because I was going to get my hair done before the dance"

"But it's just a dance it's not like we're going to prom" Manny said puzzled

"I know but Matt Martinson never comes to dances and he is only coming because I told him to" Ginger said

"Why make it all fancy when it's going to be all messy at the end of the night" Jake joked

"Your mean" Ginger said slapping his arm

"Ouch" Jake said rubbing his arm

"Well I got to go so I'll see you bitches later" Ginger said and she left

Manny walked in the house and sat on the couch. Jake sat down next and she laid her head on his shoulder. Jake laid his head on her head.

"Oh is my baby tired" Manny asked

"I was but a kiss will wake me up" Jake said with a smile

Manny gave him a kiss.

"I'm still really tired" Jake said

"Well how about if I give you another kiss?" Manny asked giving him another kiss

"I think I'm a little awake" Jake said with a smile

"I think this will keep you up for hours." Manny said

And she gave him a kiss and they started making out.

"I think I have a better idea than eating pizza" Manny said and she led Jake up to her room.


"Ok so we have to get this done Ashley" Craig said

He was at Ashley's house studying.

"Because you have to go home and wait on the phone for Manny to call" Ashley said

"I have to..." Craig started he looked at Ashley "Ashley, she hasn't called in more than four months" Craig said wile laying his head on the desk "It's just I miss her and.."

"It's ok Craig" Ashley said patting him on the back "If Manny really loved you she would have called you"

"I don't know why I'm telling you this?" Craig said "Maybe it's because you would understand"

"No Craig, it's because you know I'm here for you. I've always been there for you and I always will. Whether you're with Manny or with Paige. I still love you Craig." Ashley said "And instead of working things out when I found out about Manny, I let you slip. It's my fault"

Craig looked at Ashley. "Ash, I'm sorry about last year. I really didn't mean to cause you that much pain. I mean the fight we had, and then Manny was right there and then the next minuet she was pregnant. It's not your fault it's mine." Craig said

Craig looked at Ashley. He leaned in and kissed her. They started making out. Craig picked her up and brought her to her room. Craig started to unbutton Ashley's shirt.

"Craig I love you" Ashley said

Craig looked at her. What was he doing? This wasn't Manny. This was Ashley. Manny is probably sitting in front of the TV waiting to come back to Canada and be with him.

"Craig why did you stop?" Ashley asked "Manny's not coming back"

"I...I don't know what I'm doing" Craig said backing away

"Craig?" Ashley said

"I...I have to go home. I have to think. I'll call you tomorrow so we can get our project done" Craig said and he left


Manny started taking off her shirt. She was watching Jake as he took off his pants. They were now only in there underwear. They sat in Manny's bed and looked at each other. Manny smiled. She saw Craig… I mean Jake smile back. Or was it Craig she couldn't tell who her heart belonged to right now. She started thinking about what Craig was doing right now.

"Stop thinking about Craig Manny he's all the way in Canada Jake is right in front of you with nothing but boxers on" Manny thought.

Jake leaned in and kissed Manny. Manny ran her hand over his chest and Jake ran his hands through her hair. Manny smiled and they kissed again.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Jake asked

"Yeah" Manny said

They started making out. And Manny laid her head on her bed. She couldn't get Craig out of her mind.

"Jake stop" she said

Jake stopped.

"What's wrong?" he asked

"Nothing" Manny said "Forget about it"

So they did it they had sex. But the only thing on Manny's mind was Craig.
