Hey guys! Twochapters tonight... This chapter is a little interesting, but life happens and along with that interesting hookups happen. Life's weird like that.
Ema sat down on a couch in Manny's store. "It's really beautiful, Manny."
"Courtesy of famous actors JT Yorke and Tom Shaye. They helped finance everything. "
"Tom's the new beau, I suppose?"
"Yeah. He's on.."
"Spare me the details. I don't think you're meant to be with this guy."
"First, you don't know him. Second Em, I don't want to go down the JT road again."
"Why not? He's always loved you."
"What about Liberty? Liberty still loves him. You and I both know that she'd be better for him."
"Who the fuck cares if she's better? I mean, I love Lib, but don't get me wrong, she isn't the right one for JT."
"Whoa, Em, what got into you?"
"I'm tired of you pretending to hate JT for being himself at home. He doesn't need it, not from you."
"How would you know, Em?"
"He calls and visits sometimes. He loves Boston…"
"You never told me. He never told me."
"It happened after you guys broke up."
"Which break up four years ago or?"
"The one from two years ago. The last one."
"Em, you weren't?"
"I wasn't what?"
"Lib, she told me the reason she broke up with JT is because she told me he was sleeping with someone else."
"We weren't seeing each other, Manny," Emma shifted uncomfortably on the couch and looked away from her.
"Em, what happened between you two?"
"We got a little too drunk one night. We were bar hopping. I just found out Snake's cancer came back. The first time it came back, not now. Neither of us were feeling so hot, so we drank and drank and drank. Next thing you know, we're back in his hotel room on his bed making out. One thing lead to another and you know…"
"Yeah, I get it. I can't believe you slept with JT."
"Well, I did. It was weird, sleeping with your best friend, that's just weird."
"Yeah, don't need to get into too much detail about that…I've been there and done that. Yeah done that," Manny smirked.
"Wait, so you don't really care that I did?"
"Well, it's weird and part of me is a little jealous cause you know he's good, but I have a boyfriend, a good boyfriend, a boyfriend that I really like er love, besides a little Emma debauchery spices up my life. So anything happen else happen between you and him?"
"We were sleeping together every time he came into town, until he started dating Lib again. He and Lib broke up because she couldn't handle the distance he always traveled. I didn't sleep with him when they got back together, I swear."
"Have you been sleeping with him since they broke up?"
"Maybe once or twice."
"So what's going to happen now?"
"I don't know…"
"Em, I can't get back with him if you're sleeping with him."
"You can't get back with him if you're still dating Tom."
"Good point, guess that means I never have to get back with him."
"Whatever you say, Manny."
"You wanna go to Craig's now?"
"Yeah…"
