Yeah so, I don't own Degrassi...
Craig
I can't believe I did that.
But I was still doing it. When Emma pulled away the first time, I did it again. My lips were still on hers and my tongue was still in her mouth. I tried to forget that I just kissed Manny this way less than ten hours ago.
She didn't stop me. Not like she had Sean. Did Emma like me? No. No. Couldn't be. She was just upset. I was taking advantage of her, and I needed to stop this. But I didn't want to, I knew if I did, it would only be awkward. I kept kissing her, losing myself in the moment. Right now nothing mattered, not consequences, not anything. Just her.
After another minute that felt like an eternity, she stopped. She pulled away, and called my name.
"We can't.." "I know." "It's wrong." "I know." I knew it was just a impulse, or whatever, the first person who treats you well after a break-up, is the one who you are drawn to. The rebound, If you will. But, the fire that was exchanged between the two of us during that kiss was anything but convincing.
Tears began to fall down her face. "No, Em, don't cry."
"I've just complicated things, I always do this. I always ruin everything."
"You haven't..."
"You're Manny's boyfriend, Craig. Oh, my God, we're all she has. Do you realize that?"
I hung my head down, a little ashamed, but then again, I wasn't. I did feel guilty, but I was convinced, from that little kiss, that Em was supposed to be with me. And I wanted her.
I looked back up and Emma was walking away, again.
"Come on Em, where are you going?"
"Home. I can't stay here." She kept going.
"Well, at least let me drive..." Then I remembered that my car was blocked in. "Let me walk you. Please." She stopped, but she didn't turn around. I hurried to catch up to her. "We can't pretend that didn't just happen." She didn't say anything. "We have to talk about it Emma." Again, nothing.
"Em!" I said a lot louder. This made her stop in her tracks, and yell back,
"What do you want me to say Craig? That I enjoyed kissing you? That when Sean kissed me in front of everybody, I ran away because I was wishing it was you? Is that what you want to hear? Huh? That I can't seem to put my best friend's boyfriend out of my head?"
I couldn't say anything. I was dumbfounded, and at a total loss for words. She did like me.
Manny
I was exhausted by the time Chante and her mother dropped me off at home. I didn't want to do anything but relax in a nice, long, hot bath. I noticed that nobody was home yet, and checked my watch. I wondered where Spike and Snake were. Emma must have been enjoying herself, since she wasn't home yet, and I knew Craig would take good care of her, so I went down to our room, threw my gym bag into the corner, and took a pair of pjs from a drawer.
I lounged about an hour in the tub, when I decided to text Em to see if everything was going well.
...Emmy. Hope things r goin well 2nite. Too tired 2 show. Came home to sleep. Tell cm i love him.
I put my phone on the dresser, and laid on the bed, falling almost instantly to sleep.
Emma
Craig walked me to the door. I took my keys out and started fiddling with the lock. We were quiet the whole way home. He just stood there, as if I hadn't just admitted I had feelings for him, waiting for me to open the door.
"What are you looking at?" I said angrily.
"You." I got the lock, and pushed open the door.
"You aren't supposed to be here." Craig looked at me with those puppy dog eyes.
"What?" He half chuckled. "My parents are gone, and they told me to tell Manny, you weren't allowed after eleven." "Oh, in that case, I won't ask to come in for coffee." I smirked. "Yeah, that was pretty lame." He admitted. I closed the door and we stood outside.
"I feel so guilty." I sat down on the step and sighed.
Craig sat down right beside me. "So what do we do?" "Nothing. I like you Craig, but I love Manny. I won't hurt her. And I can't see you. It's wrong."
His eyes searched mine. "What if it's meant to be?" "Don't say shit like that."He bent his head and kissed me once more, deeply, with passion that I could not ignore. I kissed back, tears sliding down my face. I pulled away.
"I can't do this. I just can't. I'm not that girl, I won't be." I shook my head, and started to get up. Craig was stronger, and he held my arm, preventing me from moving. "Let go."
"No. You said it yourself, you think about me. You like me. You want to be with me." He pulled me onto his lap and kissed me again, so I let him.
And then, my cell phone chirped.
A/N- Oh my gah (ala Jessica Simpson)! Craigers back to his old ways? And what will Em and Craig do when they find out that Manny is home? Dun..dun..dun...I don't know...
