Chapter 16
Emma calls Manny
Manny: Hello?
Emma: Hey! What are you doing?
Manny: Nothing, what are you doing?
Emma: Want to go shopping with me?
Manny: You had me at Shopping
Emma: Awesome! I'll pick you up in a little bit
Manny: Alright, sounds good
Emma leaves and picks up Manny and go to the mall
Manny: Not that I don't love going shopping, but what are we going shopping for?
Emma: Sean's taking me to Niagara Falls for the holidays on a romantic getaway.
Manny: So, you need to go shopping for something sexy?
Emma: Exactly!
Manny: Well, if that's the case then I need to go shopping too, because I need to spice up Chester's fantasy world (chuckles) if you know what I mean
Emma rolls her eyes and laughs
Emma: I wish you could be at Niagara with us. It's going to be so beautiful and romantic.
They arrive at the mall; they walk in the mall arm and arm laughing
Manny: I know, Chester has something planned for us for the holidays, not sure what.
Emma: Hopefully, it's somewhere nice.
Manny: yea I'm hoping. It'd be nice to get away after all the crap we've been through
Emma: Yea no kidding.
Manny: I've missed this
Emma: What?
Manny: You and I going shopping together and having girls days
Emma: I know, we've both been so busy between work and our relationships.
Manny: But at least we still live down the street from each other
Emma: Always, and no matter what happens we'll always be there for each other
Manny: of course!
Manny's phone rings
Manny: Hey Birthday babe!
Chester (chuckles): Hey Princess what are you doing?
Manny: Shopping with Emma
Chester: Oh yea? Anything for me?
Manny (chuckles): Wouldn't you like to know. What time you going to be home tonight?
Chester: Probably about 9 or 10
Manny: I'll have your present waiting for you when you get home.
Chester: Do I get to unwrap this said present
Manny (Chuckles): You'll just have to wait and see. I love you baby
Chester: I love you too I'll see you tonight
Emma: What do you think of this?
Emma pulls a dark blue sexy lace nighty from the rack
Manny: oh yea, Sean's going to love that on you.
Emma: Perfect!
Manny: Ok, how about this one for me?
Manny pulls a sexy black nylon nighty from the rack.
Emma: Chester is going to freak when he sees that
Manny: Oh, he's going to freak tonight (laughs)
Emma: Are you sure you guys can't come to Niagara with us?
Manny: I would if we could, I'm sorry. I know you'll call me and tell me all about it
Emma: Yea, I probably will
They laugh. The girls check out and leave. They go back to Manny's place.
Manny (laughs): oh my gosh I think that was the best shopping trip we've had together in a long time
They arrive at Manny's and go inside.
Emma: It was nice.
Manny: You want some wine or something?
Emma: Just a half glass is fine
Manny pulls out a bottle of wine and pours 2 glasses
Manny: Here Boo
Emma: You know, when we started College, I never thought we'd end up where we are.
Manny: What do you mean?
Emma: I mean obviously I knew we'd be successful but I never really thought we'd have Sean and Chester in our lives. I certainly didn't think I'd have Sean.
Manny: But we do, and we are incredibly happy with our guys. Am I wrong?
Emma: Well, we knew you were head over heels for Chester when you guys went on your first date
Manny: And you and Sean have always found your way back to each other! If you two are meant to be it'll work.
Emma: Yea, you're right. It just feels too good to be real, you know?
Manny: Yea I get it. He's put you through a lot of heart ache over the years
Emma: Am I an idiot for always taking him back, Manny?
Manny: Um no. Em, the heart wants what it wants, and your heart has belonged to bad boy Sean Cameron since middle school
Emma gets up and gives Manny a hug
Emma: I love you, thank you for always being there when I needed advice
Manny: It's what best friends are for silly! I love you Emma
Suddenly Chester walks in from work
Chester: Oh, is this my present (chuckles)
Manny: why didn't you call me babe? And this is defiantly not your present (chuckles)
Emma: I'm leaving anyway, I got my own man at home (laughs)
Manny: Emma, remember what I said.
Emma: I know, I will
Emma leaves and goes home.
Chester (smiles and Kisses Manny): Hi Princess
Manny (kisses Chester): Hi baby. How was work
Chester: Long and exhausting
Manny: Well, go take a shower and relax for a little baby. I'll throw Dinner on
Chester softly grabs Manny by the hand
Chester (smiles) who said I was done with my girl?
Manny (smiles): I certainly don't mind.
Chester (softly moved Manny's hair behind her ear): I love you, so damn much
Manny (puts her hand on Chester's wrist): I love you more. I can't wait till the holidays
Chester: Me too, baby. Me too.
Manny: Go get your sexy butt in the shower babe. We can continue this after
Manny said as she kisses Chester
Chester: Mmm, so what did you go shopping for?
He said as he playfully rubs her shoulder and pulls down her strap to her shirt
Manny: You'll find out when we go on our trip baby.
Chester: Or you could give me a sneak peak, since it is my birthday
Manny: I could but that'd take the fun out of it
Chester (kisses Manny's neck), but I want to see how sexy you look in it so I can take it off of you
Manny: You'll see on our trip
Chester: But baby-
Manny: I love you, but no matter how much you turn me on-
Chester smiles and continues kissing Manny's neck while pulling down the straps of her shirt
Chester: Like this?
Manny (chuckles): You're going to get it
Chester: Promise?
Manny: That's it
Manny takes Chester and lead him to their bedroom
Chester: Have I told you how beautiful you are?
Manny softly pushes Chester on the bed, climbs on top of him while he slides his hands under her shirt on her hips
Manny: Shh, just enjoy the moment
