FLASHBACK

"It is a job." Manny stated, "Just becasue its not flipping burgers at some crap place, doesnt mean is not a job. It pays, It pays really well" She continued softining her voice as she talked.

"Yes it pays well but its not a normal job for a six-teen year old girl" He mom said,

"So its not normal, its like a dream come true, do you really want me to give up on my dreams, becasue 'its not normal'" Manny said, doing are quotes on 'its not normal'

Her mom just stared at her, as if she was in deep thought..

"Fine. But i dont want you growing up to fast Manuella. Remember your only sixteen young lady. And..." Her mom said gettign cut off.

"Yeah yeah i know. All A's. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you." Manny squeled embracing her mom in probly the best hug they've ever shared.

"You bettter not let that money get to your head." She said.

"I wont" Manny screamed as she ran up the stairs to her enclosed room.

END OF FLASHBACK

"But i never get to see you." Jimmy whinned.

"Oh poor Jimmy" Manny said as she strattled his lap.

"I know." He said looking at her with his puppy dog eyes, beginning to kiss her neck.

" I have an idea, stay right here, ill be right back." Manny said getting off of him and headed to the door.

"Where you going?" Jimmy asked.

"To my car, ill be right back." With that she shut the door.

Manny walked in with a cd in her hand.

"I told you to stay right here." She said pulling Jimmy back down to the couch. After she walked towards the sterio and put te cd in. As Natilie's "Energy" started playing Manny made her way back to a sitting Jimmy.

Slowly teasing Jimmy, Manny inched up her layered shirt higher and higher until if was off leaving her only in a tank top and jeans.

"Not that i really care, But what are you doing? And will you continue?" Jimmy said huge smile on his face and his eyes as huge as possible.

"Just a little something i learned, thought you might enjoy it." Manny smiled. She really had learned this. It was this Carmen Electra Strip Tease Video, really good if you need a work out. The song continued...


Soon Manny was just in her bra and pants. She didnt get to continue due to Jimmy pullingher down on the couch on top of him. They embraced in a very passionate kiss. She slowly pulled away, brushing her hands through Jimmy's hair. Jimmy smiled and went in for another kiss. She stopped him, leting her hair loose from the tight ponytail. Moving her head swiftly back and forth let her curly hair fall into its natural place.

They began to kiss once again. Jimmy's hands roamed her thin body. He loved the feeling of her smooth skin. He loved the smell of her sweet scent. He loved her playful manner to everything. Bascilly he just loved her. He lifted his hands up, letting her pull his shirt off. She playfully threw it on the floor and gazed back at his dark brown eyes.

Her fingers rubbed against his muscular back. She slowly went up and down. There was on spot though, that seemed liek an indent, everytime She went over it, she could feel him wince. It took a few seconds before she relized that that was were he had been shot.

"Oh my god. Im sorry. Does that hurt?" She said lifting her hands off his back.

"Just a little. Its okay." He said placing her hands around his neck before kissing her again. They just to kiss for hours. Yet it never escalated into anything more. He wasn't with her for sex and wanted her to know that. Of course he wanted to, what guy didnt, but still he wanted to show her that he wasn't like alot of other guys.

Manny knew this, she wouldnt have stripped for him otherwise. Not only was he not being pushy but he was showing compassion, somehting she never got form any other guys, and she loved it.

"Dude im bored" Spinner said stuffing a couple fires into his mouth.

"Well got any bright ideas, dumbass?" Jay said, reaching over and stealing some of his fries.

"Hey!" Spinner said "Whats the girlfriend and her fine friends doing?"

"The girlfriend is doing something, and those fine friends you speak of hate you. dont forget that." Jay said.

"Just because they cant have me, doesnt mean they have to hate me." He said in a cocky manner.

"Shut up." Jay said taking out his ringing phone.

"Speaking of the devil" Spinner said, as Jay answered the phone.

"Hello?" Jay said.

"What ya doing?" Emma asked in a baby voice.

"Hanging out. what are you doing?" He said in his very manly voice.

"Nuthin, im bored. You wanna do something?"

"I thought you had plans?" Jay said taking a bite of his burger,

"I did, but plans can change." She said in a devilsih way. Jay rasied his eye brows fixed with a grin.

"Well what did you have in mind?"

"Mabey a movie or something?"

"Hmmm okay." He said

"Okay when you gonna pick me up?" She asked. Jay looked at his watch.

"Twenty minutes?"

"K C'ya" With that Emma hung up. Jay just looked at his phone and then back to Spinner.

"Man your so whipped." Spinner said his mouth full of food.

"Fuck you, no im not."

"Keep telling youreslf that." Spinner laughed at his comment.

"Whatever i gotta go." Jay said standing up, punching Spinner in the arm and headed for the door.

"Ouch." Spinner said clutching his arm. "Hey man wheres the money?" He yelled.

"Your treat!" Jay said finailly leaving the resturaunt. Spinner just sighed and continued to eat his food.

.XxxX.

"Okay so what do you wanna wear for sadies?" Emma asked pulling him along throughout the mall.

"I thought we were going to see a movie?" Jay said. hopeing for a dark movie theater which meant make out session.

"We will, but we need sumthin for sadies. the theme's couples. we have to match" She said stopping at a store entrance. "Here lets go in here."

"Matching couples? thats so gay" Jay stated following her into the preppy store. Emma walked to the guy's section thinking she better start off with the most difficult part, Jay.

Jay gave her a 'No way in hell am i ever wearig that' look as she showed him a cute green buton down polo. She put it down and showed another after another until they'd gone through most of the rack.

"Jay you need to work with me here." Emma said.

"Im never gonna wear any of this shit. no point in looking" He said, Emma just walked towards him, pulling on his shirt, giving him puppy dog eyes. "Please? It doesnt have to be this brand. theres alot more in the mall" Jay looked down at her, as a smirk grew onto his face.

"Say i do do it, what will i get?" He said, grin still in place.

"Im sure i can come up with something." She said noticing Jay's eyes focussed on something else. She looked over, to where nothing was except for another store.

"You want to go in there?" She asked smiling. "Out of all the preppy stores, you pick this one?." She began to laugh. Jay just gave her a dirty look and headed towards the store.

Emma entered the store seeing Jay walking amlessly around the store, eyes fixated on a paticular manicune.

"You like that one?" She asked. She knew he did, she could tell. "Um miss can you tell me were i can find this outfit."

"Yeah sure. The jacket is right there, the pullover is over there, the pants..." She stopped knowing both Emma and Jay were getting confussed. "How bout i help you get it together?" Emma nodded.

"Okay im thinking 32 long for the pants." The young women said looking Jay up and down. She grabbed the pants and handed them to Jay. She helped them until they had the whole outfit in their hands.

"Here you can try them on in here." The women said unlocking a dressing room.

After about five long mintues Jay came out. Emma wouldnt beilve how good he looked.

"Wow" was all she could say.

"I dont like this." He said pulling at the pullover.

"Okay. ill go get some other jacket." She said.

She came back with a bright red zip up, a yellow and black zip up, and a green sweatshirt.. She handed all three to Jay.

Jay came out in the sweatshirt followed by the red zip up. It wasnt until the yellow jacket that the outfit just seemed to flow alot better.

"Here put this on over it." She said walking into the mesy dressing room and grabing the infamus black hat off the floor and handing it to Jay. He put it on, while rolling his eyes. "Perfect" She said lookign him up and down.

"Do you like it?" Emma asked looking at Jay in the mirrior.

"Do i have a choice? I better get something good for this." He said giving the Hogart smirk once again.

Emma just smiled, and headed off to the girls section of the store. About 30 minutes later Emma had picked a similar outfit to Jay's, tryed it on, and bought it. She smiled at the thought of how the dance was goign to be fun and how Jay was beign so good about the matching thing. It wasn't like him at all to not argue, he probly has something up his sleve, she thought. She pushed the thought to the back of her head and exited the store, with her bags in hand.

"Im hungry" Jay said, as they walked by the food court.

"Didn't you just eat?" She asked.

"Yeah" He said. Hanging out with Spinner was really rubbing off on him, he ate alot now, well more then he usually did anyways. She just smiled, and sat down at one of the vaciant tables, and waited for Jay to get back with his food.

"Can i get a number 3, large with a Dr. Pepper." Jay said to the guy in a funny uniform and weird hat.

"That'll be $5.75" they guy said not loking up from the register. Jay quickly payed him, and grabbed his food and heading back to Emma. After he finished his food and her his drink, she began to get up.

"Hey. We need to talk" Jay said. Emma just looked at him and sat back down. 'we need to talk' is never a good start to anything, and it scared her. She was finially getting her life back, and had a feeling it was about to change.

"Okay?" She said giving him a confussed yet concerned look.

"Im moving." He said as he messed with his hat.

"Your moving? Where? When? Why?" She asked.

"To Montreal, my dad doesnt want me living with my mom anymore." Emma just looked at him, tears welling in her eyes.

"Can we just go to the movies?" She asked getting up, not wanting to talk about it any longer. Jay just nodded.

During the movie Emma was very still and looked no where but at the screen. Jay tried to put his arm around her, but she quickly dismissed it. The ride home was exactly leik the movie. Very quiet and defintly not leik either of them intended for it to be.

"I'll call you later" Emma said giving Jay a small kiss on the cheek before exiting the truck. Jay didnt understand why she was being like this. He had learned though, Emma had a way of her own for dealing with everything. He wasn't going to bring it up again, until it was time for him to move. Which is sooner than both of them think.

A/N: Okay there it is. not all that great, i know so no need to tell me how bad it is. But i know i said the dance was going to be in this chap, but things change. I'll try to get the new chap up sometime soon if i get a decent amount of reviews, it might be sooner. So please review! Alright Well good night. Happy Halloween!
