After Huey left, the party pretty much ended.

Unfortunately for me, Cindy was drunk off her ass so she was going to stay because the girl who had thrown the party was one of her teammates. So, when Emmanuel offered to take me home I took him up on the opportunity.

"Is there anything you want to specifically listen to on the radio or do you want the AUX cord?"

"No, I'm fine with whatever."

He turned to look at me. "You're not mad at me, are you?"

"No, I'm not mad." I looked at him as he turned back to the road briefly before looking back at me.

"Well, I'm mad at myself," he looked me up and down causing me to blush, "I didn't get to dance with you in that beautiful dress."

"Thank you," I said then grabbed on to his arm because of the sharp turn he had made.

"What are you doing? You were going the right way," he didn't answer me he just smirked, "Okay, where are we going?"

"You'll see. Okay, now what are you doing."

I had leaned forward to look at the inspection sticker on his car. Over the years, I had become very precautious because when a little girl was kidnapped in Woodcrest a few years back, Huey had given me a lecture and tips of things to do in case I was ever kidnapped.

One of those tips was to get the license plate numbers off the car and text them to somebody that cared about me.

I pulled out my phone and prepared to text the license plate to Huey just in case things went south.

"Oh, I was just trying to get a better look at where we're going unless you want to go ahead and tell me," I gave him my best puppy dog look. Eyes wide, lip poked out, I can usually get whatever I want.

He looked at me and started laughing, "Jazmine that is not going to work on me. I have two younger sisters I am immune to that face and any like them."

I sat back in my chair and folded my arms and stared out the window trying to figure out exactly where we were going. I recognized a landmark and sat up.

He turned to me with a smirk on his face. He did that a lot. "Finally, recognize where we are."

"Yes, actually I do and I don't know why you're taking me here because I'm not sleeping with you."

He pulled into a makeshift parking spot and turned to me. "Do you really think so low of me Jazmine?"

I rubbed my arm subconsciously. I had just made a kind of rude assumption.

"Well, this is a place that people usually do that and you are one of the best football players on the team so, I guess I just assumed you thought you were going to be able to get it easily from me."

"No, but I understand how and why you would have thought and I'm sorry if I gave you that impression," I nodded because I was at a loss for words.

"If I were given the opportunity to do something like that with you. I would cherish it by taking you out on a nice date and treating like the queen you are. Not inviting you to a party that I was late to and trying to hit in the back of my car before taking you home. Please don't ever disrespect me or yourself like that again."

I stared at him with my mouth hanging open in shock. I had never been talked to in such a way and honestly never thought I would be. Tomorrow when Cindy sobered up I would tell her that he earned the right to be called Daddy. Sorry Tom, no hard feelings.

"I'm sorry."

"No, it's fine. Just don't let it happen again. Now, what I really brought you here to do was to get the two dances that you promised me on the phone."

"But, there is no music."

He took out his AUX cord, plugged in his phone and handed it to me.

"You choose the first song and I'll choose the last," he said smiling at me. I looked at him and noticed a dimple that I hadn't seen before in his right cheek.

I stared at the dimple as I overthought picking a song.

What If I pick a song that's too sexual and he thinks I don't know what I want? What if I pick a song and he laughs at my taste in music? I could just pick the song that me and Huey danced to, no I can't. Why does it matter?

"Jazmine, are you okay?"

I shook my head and smiled probably a little to intensely and by the look on his face, I probably looked a little crazy.

"No, yeah, I'm fine. You can pick both songs though, I don't mind."

He smiled and took his phone back from me. "Okay, I guess I'll choose rednose for the first song then."

I side eyed the him so hard the side of my head started hurting.

"I'm just kidding Jazmine jeez," he pushed my shoulder slightly, "take a joke. I'll choose something completely PG-13."

He had the phone angled in such a way that I couldn't see what two songs he had chosen. I just knew that when the second song played there wasn't going to be a song after that.

This guy is serious about promises. I have to make sure I don't promise him anything crazy.

He set the music to play loud enough for us to hear outside of the car and got out of the car and walked to my door. He opened the door for me and held out his hand for me to take.

"Thank you," I said blushing placing my hand in his and exiting the car carefully to ensure I didn't trip.

As soon as both my feet were on the ground he bowed and kissed the back of my hand and then pulled me into his arms. I wrapped my arms around his neck as his hands went on my waist. I didn't recognize the song that was playing but it didn't matter because I wasn't focused on it anyway.

Because of the height difference between us, I would say he was maybe between 6'1 and 6'2 and I for sure was at a nice 5'7, I laid my head on his chest and we just swayed to the music slowly.

This is nice, I finally have someone where I'm sure of their feelings for me. Well, maybe I'm not sure but I'm not completely lost. Speaking of lost….

"Hey, Emmanuel…"

"Call me E. What's up," he said leaning back to make eye contact while never loosening his grip on me.

"I was wondering why you were so late to the party."

"Oh, that. Well you see my grandmother has been sick recently so, I went to go visit her in the hospital."

"Oh, no. I'm sorry to hear that. I hope she is going to be okay."

"Yeah, she's fine just a little scare," he let me go and that's when I noticed that the music had stopped. "Are you ready to go home?"

I nodded and he put his hand on my back, guiding me back to the car. Once I was safely inside I checked my phone as he closed my door and walked around to get in the car as well. I had two text messages.

'I don't know where you are young lady but we will talk in the morning.'

I rolled my eyes. Maybe if you talked to my mom you would have known where I was going to be.

I clicked out of the message from my father and went to my next unread message.

'Hey Jazmine, I'll be at your house around noon for tutoring.'

It was already 2 in the morning.

Why is he such a morning person?

"Everything okay?"

"Yeah, everything is fine. I just forgot I had to get up kind of early tomorrow," I huffed, "At least early for me."

"Guess I need to get you home then," he winked at me and pulled off to get back on the main road.

He turned the radio on so it was a pretty much quiet ride back to my place.

When he pulled up in my driveway he immediately got out of the car to open my door for me.

He is such a gentleman. It makes me almost forget that he is a football player.

He walked me to the doorstep and we stood there for a second awkwardly, not saying anything. He laughed and pulled me close and kissed my forehead.

"While I would love to stand here all night and look at you, I have practice tomorrow."

I must have been pouting because he put his finger under my chin and smiled down at me.

"Don't make that face, I'll see you soon and I'll text you tomorrow. Okay?"

I nodded and bent down to get my key from the false rock in the bush next to the steps.

When I turned back around he was heading back to his car. I ran up to him and hugged him from behind. A bold move on my part.

He turned around in my arms and put his forehead against mine to peck my lips.

"Goodnight, Jazmine."

"Goodnight." I let him go and walked back to the house to unlock the door. Once I was inside I heard him start up his car and drive away.

I blushed in the dark and quiet of my house and sighed.

Best night ever.

A/N: Okay I felt like that was a good place to start. My intentions were to post a chapter Monday and post another chapter today. But life got in the way and this chapter was in the way. It took me a long time to try to decide where I wanted to go with Emmanuel (or E) and it looks like he might be here for a while. Please Review I enjoy the criticism.
