"How the hell do we get the address from Peter when he basically hates all of us." Jay snapped in a whisper. I mean, they were let into the VIP room and sat down in a nice lit up booth, but Peter would only talk to Emma and did so alone in his own booth across from theirs.
Sean glared madly over at them, watching Peter closely. The music was so loud that he couldn't hear what they were saying and it was driving him crazy. A waitress came over with free beers for them, and winked before she left. Sean finally spoke out but mostly to himself, "If he makes one move onher-"
"Sean if anything, we want him to." Manny declared across from him, Jay on her side.
Spinner nodded on his left, nodding to Peter, "He'd give the address if she thinks he's into him or whatever."
"You think he actually buys the fact she's single when Sean Cameron is sitting right here?" taunted Jay with a smirk when Sean scowled over at them again
Over by Emma, Peter was wondering the same thing and leaned more forward on the table and Emma sat across. "So...what's Sean doing around here again, if you're not with him?"
Emma swallowed hard and tried to bare a fake eye roll, "He's here for Christmas with Jay, and I'm here with Manny. It totally sucks."
"He bugging you?"
Emma held in a laugh. Even if Sean was (Which he wasn't), Peter could do nothing about it. Sean was the strongest guy Emma honestly knew..she tried not to fan girl right there, cornering her eyes at Sean who was talking to their friend, a scowl on his face but she knew him too well, he was a softy when he wanted to be..when she wanted him to be.
"It's fine. He knew I married Spin, and just recently I divorced him-"
"Really?!" Peter didn't even let her finish, eyes wide and a grin on his face. He licked his lips a bit nervously and swallowed, "Emma. I always knew you were the one that got away.." he looked down.
Emma almost felt bad. Almost.
He looked back up with a grin, "Maybe this is our second chance?"
Second chance? Didn't Peter have like a bunch of chances? The only million chances Emma ever gave to anybody was Sean Cameron and Peter Stone did not come close to him.
Ugh, this was it. She had to admit it to herself. . she wasn't ever going to get over Sean. He made her head over heels when he was just 13 and he still made her head over heels. Could still make her blush, smile, and mad when he wanted to.
"Maybe." Emma replied. Not sure how else she could reply.. "Be right back, I feel bad for leaving Manny." she got up, eyes widening as she caught Manny's look from the other table and signaled her to come to the bathroom.
"So!?" Manny asked, and Emma was washing her hands at the sink.
"I feel dirty just talking to him." Emma declared, rolling her eyes. "He's going on and on how hes now this huge new director and all his movies will be out soon."
"Great, he'll be famous and he can tell everyone how his first movie starred little ol' me." Manny said sarcastically and groaned, shaking Emma's shoulders, "Tell me you got the address."
"He won't give it to me, won't shut up about second chances blah, blah blah."
"He thinks he has another shot with you?" Manny snickered and rolled her eyes to then gasp, "That's it." she cringed though, but stepped closer to Emma, "You have to go with it. And you have to get that address."
"MANNY!"
"Em, it's the only way! Damons still in the trunk and probably going to get frost bite if we don't get out there soon and bring him home."
Emma scowled, she was right. She raised her finger at her madly, "Don't you dare think I'll get over this. You'll owe me BIG time Manny Santos."
This was going to be HORRIBLE.
"I know." winced Manny, watching her go but then pulled her back, "Wait!"
Emma turned, for Manny to play around with her sparkly dress and then actually pushed her boobs up a bit more, " MANNY!" she hissed, slapping her away and Manny gasped but giggled.
"Well you're trying to seduce here!"
Meanwhile, outside the bathroom in the VIP room, Sean got up from the table. "Man, where you going?" Jay asked.
Spinner looked over and pitied Sean who shook his head, clenching his jaw. He couldn't even look at them.
"I can't sit here and watch her flirt with him. I'm leaving the VIP, I'll meet you in the car, keep it warm.. before Damon freezes to death in the trunk." he half joked, and walked off.
Jay and SPinner both shared a look, "It's never easy between those two." Jay muttered.
Meanwhile, Emma came out and was back with Peter only this time he showed her his personal VIP room which was lit blue and they even glowed inside the room. "Romantic, isn't it?" he asked her.
Emma felt dirty, being alone with him, in this room. "Isn't this where people get alone time with the dancers?" she taunted, squinting her eyes at him.
He chuckled and shrugged, "I guess." he took her hand though, "But tonight it's just ours."
He leaned in, and Emma's hand actually pushed on his chest and he frowned with a confused look. She bared a smile, "Oh my god! I forgot to tell you, I met another Director tonight."
Peter sighed and rolled his eyes, "Em, It's Hollywood. do you know how many people try claiming their directors so girls will sleep with them?"
"It was Damon Knight."
Peter stared at her blankly and then scoffed, nodding, "He's a director, but Em, I can give you so much more than he could."
Emma wanted to gag. She wanted NOTHING from either of them. Come to think of it, Damon was probably just an older Peter. "Oh I totally don't want him like that." she said and he relaxed a little, "I just..left my coat at his place! He had a BIG christmas party and I just don't remember his address to go get it. Has my passport and everything."
Peter looked awfully skeptical, like he didn't believe her. Emma bit her bottom lip and her gut turned. Oh god, he wasn't falling for it.
"He lives in the Hills."
Emma was stunned. He believed her! Wait the hills? "Like, Beverly Hills?"
He nodded and chuckled, "All the hot shots live out there. It's just 20 mins away. You'll know his house when you see it." he snickered, "Big red door, and big huge Christmas lights and a mailbox that's a naked mermaid."
Wow.. tacky.
"Thanks!" Emma exclaimed, turning quickly to run out and he grabbed her, stuttering a bit.
"I..W-wait." he put his hands on his head, shutting his eyes "You were.." he blinked his eyes open and scowled her, "You were just using me!"
Emma rolled her eyes and taunted, "It's not like you've never used people Peter."
"so what?!" he bittered, snickering in disgust and looking out the door, "You're with that loser again? Sean? Good luck with a life being knocked up and waiting for your criminal husband to get out of jail your whole life-"
SLAP!
Emma's eyes widened, watching Peters face turn and his cheek red, her hand stinging. She was shocked she did it, but didn't regret it.
She turned to leave and paused to turn back, "As if I ever dated you Peter. You'll never be half the person Sean is." with that, she left.
Manny, Spinner and Jay raised from their seats when Emma came out, "I got the address." she said, nodding proudly.
Spinner groaned, "Thank god! Can I go home now? Got a pregnant girl to be with."
Jay nodded and insisted, "Me and Sean can lift him back to his place, go and take a taxi back to Jane."
Spin nodded and left.
Jay turned back to Manny and Emma, "Alright, lets get in the car and go. Where is it?"
"Beverly Hills." Emma said and she looked around, "Where's Sean?"
Manny bit her lip and Jay raised an eyebrow, "Where do you think he is? You think it's chocolate and rainbows to watch the girl you love flirt with somebody else?"
Emma felt hit in the gut, and heart. She looked down, and just began walking out. It was fake flirting. Sean had to know that..
The girls went to the back seat again, Jay in the passenger as Sean began to drive back out onto the streets, "Where we going?" he asked scruffly.
Emma looked down and peaked back up, seeing in the rear view mirror how hard he held his gaze on the road.
"Beverly Hills." Jay sighed. This was going to be a nice ride with how hard the wind was blowing the snow that began to snowstorm down.
"Wow! Snowing in California." Manny couldn't help but stare in awe and a small smile spread across her face from the back seat and Jay gave a loving look back at her, knowing she must be loving this. It was like being home again in Toronto.
Sean couldn't help but soften either, watching it fall down. Emma leaned her head on the passangers seat and watched it too fall until they made it to the Hills neighborhood where the rich and famous lived.
"How the hell do we know which one is his?" Jay asked, staring at the huge lit up mansions of Hollywood.
Emma sat up and told Sean, "Stop!" and he did. They both looked out to the right side where a big white mansion with a big red door and a cheap looking naked mailbox sat, "That's it."
Manny had to be the one to ask, "How do we get him in without setting some alarm off?"
Sean had to scowl and turned to Jay beside him, "Why is there problem after problem?"
"Because it's Christmas Eve." joked Jay, and they looked to the cars radio clock.
"Oh my god, it really is." Manny said.
Emma pouted, "It's the 24th of December and we're spending it while planning to break into a famous persons mansion with the guy passed out in our trunk."
"At least we're spending it together." Manny said with high spirit and had to giggle herself as they all rolled their eyes but smiled and got out.
"Check his pockets for keys." Sean declared, opening the trunk and Damon was still lying there knocked out. He snored a bit though.
"I'm not touchin him." Manny declared, raising her hands up in the air.
Sean looked to Emma who snickered, "Me either."
"Didn't mind some one on one action with another guy 20 minutes ago." snapped Sean, leaning over Damon and checking for the keys himself.
Emma madly snapped back, "and just what does that mean?!"
Manny and Jay shared a look and Manny tried to point towards the gates, "Me and Jay should watch out for security. Are you guys going to be able to lift him yourselves?"
They were too busy fighting and Jay joked to Manny, "It's Sean, he could carry two dead bodies if he wanted to."
"Alright, lets go be look out." Manny declared, taking his hand and guided him away.
"So how is Peter, Em?" Sean went on, taunting her bitterly, "Didn't take long for you to go into a room alone with him. Did he tell you what a big shot he is now? You wanna marry him next?"
Emma was fuming and turned to him, the snow falling around them somewhat beautifully but this moment was anything but. "Just a little reminder on why we are here doing this," Emma said while pointing to the cars trunk, "Is because YOU punched Damon out, Sean..and I'M trying to help! I didn't have to! But that's just what you do don't you Sean!? Stir trouble-"
Sean had grabbed her, shutting her up with a passionate kiss and closing his eyes tight like he was scared if she'd stop him or pull away. Something about the snow falling around her and landing on her white golden hair just looked so beautiful. She was mad, and that sometimes got him all giddy like. He liked that he could wind her up still, it meant she still cared. She was right too, she was just doing this for him, he didn't have to punch Damon, but the jerk was hitting on her and Sean just couldn't have that.
Emma whimpered into the kiss, but let his strong arms with his winter jacket wrap her into his embrace. She moved her lips with his and he hungerily kissed her back and softened when he felt her kiss back. She tightened her hold around the collars of his jacket and pressed her body more to his for the warmth and he almost groaned. Her heart pounded and he kissed her harder, his hand moving to the back of her neck.
Scratch that. This moment was pretty beautiful. They kissed as the snow fell down on them and when they pulled apart, Sean's mouth was hanging, staring at her in awe. She smiled lovingly up at him and he smiled a little, staring back into her eyes.
Emma then blinked and looked around, seeing them alone, "Where's Jay and Manny?"
Sean looked around and sighed, "Probably left when we were fighting. Probably on look out." he glanced to the trunk, "We should get him in."
Emma put her hand into Damons jean pockets and Sean scowled her til she got them. The Keys! Oh THANK GOD!
"Somebody had to go down there." she taunted back and Sean just got to the part of quickly getting Damon out of the trunk.
"Here we go." Sean says and Emma went to Damons feet, helping lift him out.
Emma yelped, almost slipping on ice just as they got Damon lifted and Sean had to let him go to reach out and catch Emma. She gasped, and looked up to see he had her right in his arms, almost bridal style and she was one inch from hitting the ground. She smiled while she blushed and he teased her while staring down at her, "I don't remember you being so damsel in Distress." he joked.
Emma rolled her eyes smiling and he helped her back up. She was no Damsel, that's for sure! That's what Sean loved about her. She was strong and independent but damn! She should of brought her winter boots. WHo knew it'd snow okay?!
"Oh..shit.." drifted Sean, looking behind her. When they turned, they noticed they dropped Damon and it wasn't a BIG fall but his head landed on a rock.
Emma's eyes widened, bending down, "Is he bleeding!?" she checked him out. Sean looked around bewildered and waited as Emma scanned him and quickly got up, "He's fine. No blood. Let's get him inside fast before someone sees us." she said.
They both grabbed an end of Damon. He even woke up for a few second, slurring, "MOmmy. Bad Manny. Sue ALL of you."
Both Sean and Emma shared an 'uh Oh' look and made it to his door, Emma turned and put his keys through it.
It opened. No alarm. Thank sweet baby Jesus! She had to smile happily and grab Damons feet again, glancing to Sean who smirked back at her happy behavior. She was such a dork.
and my god he was in love with her.
They finally carried him in, closing the door from the snow and the cold.
When we finally kiss good-night
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
