JT stepped inside the Dot grill. It had been weeks since his and Manny's first date,after that they were inseparable. As he opened the door,the bell above made a charming ding sound. The restaurant had entered it's afternoon rush. Spinner
stood at the counter taking orders from a group of girls,about his age. Other kids he knew from school were scattered at different tables across the restaurant. An aroma of hamburgers and French fries filled the air.
"Two vanilla lattes,please Spinner," JT called over the counter to Spinner.
"Coming right up," Spinner said as he scratched JT's orders on his note pad.
"Make it quick, I have to meet Manny in ten minutes." JT announced looking at his watch.
"I'll try my best," Spinner said, sarcastically saluting his customer.
JT nodded,as Spinner began preparing his coffee.
"I see dating Manny didn't make you develop punctuality." a familiar voice said into JT's ear.
JT turned to see Liberty,leaning on the counter next to him. "Liberty...hey," JT said,obviously nervous.
"How have you been?" Liberty said in a flirtatious way
"Okay...you?" JT said,biting his lips.
"Alright,I guess. I mean,there is one thing that's been botherin," she countinued to flirt.
"What's that Liberty" he said obviously annoyed.
"I miss you" Liberty whispered softly.
"Liberty,I'm with Manny now. I'm happy. I'm over you,I'm sorry," JT shook his head.
"I thought that you loved me?" She asked,placing her hand over his which rested on the counter.
"I did...I just don't anymore,again I'm sorry."
Liberty didn't answer,she kissed JT on the lips. Meanwhile Emma jogged by,she wore sweats and had her head phones placed over her ears. She passed the dot and glanced in the window. She quickly stopped and gazed into the glass. She saw Liberty and JT kissing. She shook her head,she couldn't believe her eyes.
"Oh My God," she said out loud to herself and begin to jog away.
JT quickly broke away from the kiss. "What the hell was that?"
"A kiss JT, you know how we used to have them all the time?" Liberty replied.
"Yeah used to being the key words there," JT shot back.
Spinner interrupted by placing JT's two coffees on the counter. "Uh,that'll be four dollars," Spinner said confused. JT slapped four one dollar bills on the counter angrily and left the building. He walked outside hopped into his car and drove to Manny's house. When he pulled into her dirveway,he jumped out of his car. He let him self into the Santos house and made his way to Manny's bedroom. He opened the door to her bedroom,he found Manny lying on her bed with her nose in a book.
"Hey," Manny said as she leapt up to greet him, when she saw him in the doorway.
"Hey" JT,wrapped his arms around her hips and kissed her.
"I missed you," she ran her fingers through his hair. "I havn't talked to you since school to days ago."
"I know,it's my fault. Simpson loaded us with homework this weekend. But look what I brought." JT,smiled as he held up the two lattes from the Dot.
"Vanilla lattes,my favorite!" she grinned as she snatched one of the cups out of his hands.
Manny sat on the side of her bed and sipped her coffee. JT sat next to her,he laced his fingers through hers.
"Oh My Gosh, JT I forgot to tell you. Paige is throwing a party at her house tomorrow and she invited me and Em. She also said that I should bring you,do you want to come?" Manny asked excitedly.
" Sure I'll go"
"Thanks you are the greatest boyfriend," she hugged him.
"Yeah,I guess..." he whispered,Manny was giving him a guilt trip and she didn't even know it.
