Chapter 10:
Though the night was late, Emma and J.T. found themselves seated in the ever so famous, Dot Grill. As a weary waiter seated them at a small, round table, Emma glanced J.T., who carried a concerned expression his face. She sat down, smoothing out her skirt. She lightly touched her busted lip, flinching at the sharp pain. She quietly read the menu, scanning it, but thinking about Manny.
"What happened?" J.T. asked accusingly after a long period of silence.
"I don't know," Emma whispered, putting down the menu and dropping her elbows onto the table with a sigh. J.T. closed his eyes momentarily and shook his head.
"We dated in the past, but that was 8th grade!" J.T. said, thinking aloud. Emma watched her boyfriend ponder the thought, furrowing his brow, hands to his mouth.
"Why don't we just forget it, okay? I'm gonna move out of my dorm-"
"What? Why?" J.T. interrupted her. Emma sighed, sweeping her bangs out of her face. She desperately needed them cut, but there were other issues to be concerned about.
"I don't wanna stay in that dorm, J.T.!" Emma whined.
"You know how much trouble that's gonna cause this far into the semester?" J.T. asked. Emma shook her head. The weary waiter, with icy blue eyes and waxy blonde hair, came over to the couple's table and lazily slammed two glasses of iced tea down. Emma faked a smile and mouthed a "Thank you." She returned her looks to J.T.
"I guess I can put up with the biotch," Emma gave in. J.T. still didn't seem satisfied.
J.T. suddenly leaned in a licked Emma's lips. Emma, surprised, accepted, and returned this with a kiss full of tongue. They leaned over the table, panting and kissing heavily, till Emma pushed away.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"Well, we never did get to the date," J.T. joked. Emma gently slapped his arm.
"Let's just go, I'm not hungry. Can we just go to your place?" Emma got out of her seat and picked up her purse.
"Yeah," J.T. agreed, getting up. He wrapped his arms around Emma as they walked out of Dot.
I know it was short, sorry for the long wait. And for this measly chapter of all things! I promise things are on the rise. Much Love!
