Ellie opened her eyes once she knew that Craig was asleep. It had been thirty minutes and he was now quietly snoring. Craig…he looked great when he slept. Ellie outstretched her hand and she touched his cheek. His skin was so soft, almost like a baby's.

"If only you knew Craig…"

Ellie was glad that when he saw her "drunk" he had come to her aid. He was desperate to get her somewhere safe and because of that, he and Manny even broke up.

For the longest time, she just laid there, staring at Craig.

Finally, he opened his eyes and caught her.

"Hey," he whispered to her and smiled.

"Hey." Ellie whispered back. She hoped he didn't see her blushing as she looked away.

"You okay?" Craig could see Ellie blushing. This was his chance. He knew it, he knew Ellie liked him like he liked her.

"Yeah. I'm fine."

"Good. I'm glad you're all better." He moved closer to her and Ellie's heart began to beat faster. "You got a little drunk at the club and brought you here." He took a strand of Ellie's beautiful red hair and swirled it in his fingers.

He was being so sweet to her and Ellie couldn't doubt that maybe he felt the same way toward her that she felt about him. Since he was really close and he was looking at her intently, as if she were a delicate flower.

"Thanks…thanks for helping me."

They stared at each other eyes in silence, until Craig could take it no longer and broke it by saying, "I like you Ellie." Ellie's heart beat even faster and she smiled. Craig was getting closer…closer…until their lips were together. At first, it was soft and slow.

"I like you too Craig," Ellie whispered as Craig kissed her neck. Then, the kiss got deeper and faster. They sank onto the bed, Craig on top of Ellie, and Ellie had never been so sure in her life of what she was about to do.


"Are you better Manny?" Emma asked Manny as soon as she saw her and Sean making their way back inside the club.

"I'm fine Emma. I just need to go home. Now."

"Okay." Emma turned to Sean.

Manny wanted to get away from Sean. She couldn't stand to be with him any longer. "I'm taking a taxi," Manny said.

"But, what Manny? Sean can take us home!"

"No Em!"

Emma looked confused. She looked back from Manny to Sean.

"Okay Manny, don't give yourself away. Emma can't know this. I don't want to lose her friendship again."

"Whatever, okay. I just need to go!" Manny walked out of the club, avoiding Sean's eyes.

"What's wrong with her? What happened Sean?" Emma asked.

Sean shrugged. "Upset at the break-up I guess." He had to act natural, as if nothing had happened.

"Come on, we better go." Emma grabbed Sean's hand and they walked out of the club.


"Emma, I love you," Sean said to her as they kissed in the park. Manny was watching from a distance and she could feel hatred running all over her body. She wanted to get Emma and strangle her. Sean was hers and only hers! Now it was Manny who was with Sean. They were in bed, demonstrating their love toward each other and Emma caught them. "How could you Manny? How could you? I hate you, you whore!"

Manny woke up with Emma's voice still ringing in her head. What had that been all about? Manny was having lustful dreams about Sean? But she didn't even like Sean…she didn't.

"I was enjoying myself in his arms…oh my gosh…I cannot like Sean…this is insane."

Manny tried to shut her mind off the dream, but the more she tried, the more it came back to her.

"I don't like Sean…I don't like Sean…it was only a dream…I need to see Craig. We need to talk. I'm sure it was all in the heat of the night that he "broke" up with me. I'm sure he didn't really mean it. He loves me.


"Hey Joey, I need to talk to Craig," Manny said to Joey as he stood at the door. Manny had gotten up first thing in the morning and walked to Craig's house. She had to see him. They had to talk and work this out.

"Manny, hum, hey. I don't know if Craig's up yet…" Joey was trying at all possible not to sound nervous and to ward Manny off. He had opened Craig's door an hour earlier, since he had spent the night at a girlfriend's house and had just arrived home, and had spotted him and Ellie... he knew that this was not something Manny should see.

"I can wake him," Manny smiled at the thought of waking Craig up with kisses. He would love it.

"No Manny, really. Why don't you come back later?"


Some minutes before Manny's arrival.

Ellie woke up and smiled. Last night hadn't been a dream. It had been real. She was in Craig's arms and she couldn't think of a better way to wake up.

She gave him kisses, until he woke up.

"Good morning babe," Craig said to her and kissed her back.

Ellie then gave him kisses down his chest. She then went up again and kissed his neck.

"You're so good…" Craig said and then turned her over and got on top of her. He kissed her neck and went down to her breast, at the same time feeling every part of her body.

"Craig! Craig!" Manny ran past Joey and up to Craig's room. "Craig!"
