AN: Disclaimer in earlier chapters. I own Chris and a few other OCs.
So I decided on a different ending. Please tell me if you like this one or the other one better. A or B? I really want your feedback on this.
CHAPTER 18 B
Chris followed along with Emily while Carrie and Elizabeth shopped and she looked around. She had her headphones looped around her ears with the head phone wire behind her back hidden under the sweater she was wearing. She had music drowning out most of the noise but kept it low enough to hear Carrie and Elizabeth.
They were currently in a dress store Chris had no idea the name of and Carrie was looking with Elizabeth.
"What about this?" Elizabeth asked pulling a navy dress out in front of Carrie. It stopped at her knees and had a one shoulder strap. It was simple.
"It's gorgeous." Chris breathed out imagining Carrie in it.
"It fits you perfectly." Emily smiled.
"Well, now we just need to find one for Chris." Carrie said as Elizabeth took the dress and held onto it.
"It's not going to be anything here." Chris huffed. She looked across the way and smiled. "I'll be back." She ran out of the store and to the one she saw
"Where is she going?" Elizabeth asked as they tried to see past the sea of people they lost Chris in.
"I don't know." Emily said softly.
"I'm gonna go walk around, call me when you two are finished." Emily said walking out of the dress store.
Emily was looking into jewelry shops and other gift shops and was on her way into Victoria's Secret for a gift basket of JJ's favorite fragrance when she bumped into someone.
"I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention." She looked at the persons face and frowned. "Jenna?"
Jenna smiled. "Emily!" She hugged her and kissed her deeply but Emily didn't return it. "I am so glad I bumped into you! I can show you what I brought for our date tonight, I know last night was kind of a disaster and this morning was no better, so I'm making it up to you tonight. I'll pick you up at nine." Jenna said kissing Emily's cheek and rushing off.
Emily stood their dumb founded and walked into the store grabbing the gift and paying for it. She met up with her mother and Carrie at a café.
Chris paid the cashier and grabbed the bag before heading to a jewelry store next door.
"Hey." Chris smiled.
"Well if it isn't the little shop owner herself." The cashier said.
"Cut the dramatics Greg, I need a favor." Chris said.
"You own the place, so name it." Greg smiled.
"I don't own it yet, but I need you to make this." Chris pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to him.
"This is beautiful, did you draw it?" Greg asked as Chris nodded.
"When will it be done?"
"Sweetheart, for you I can have this done by tonight." Greg winked as Chris hugged him.
"Thank you."
"What's the occasion, you only ever asked me to make one ring before, this is gorgeous and out does the other."
"It's nothing extravagant, it's simple." Chris smiled.
"Yes, but the last one you had me make looked like an engagement ring."
"It was. I thought it was forever. But it wasn't, I was young and stupid Greg." Chris sighed.
"What happened to that one?"
"I gave it to Alex's detective friend hoping when they came to their senses it would come in handy." Chris said looking at the drawing on the counter.
"This is still beautiful Chris; the hearts are sapphire and the ring tungsten, the infinity pattern. It sounds like you want this ring to last." Greg smiled
"I do and you have no idea how much." Chris said then pulled out another drawing. "Do you think you can get this done for me too?" Chris asked as Greg nodded. "Just how it is in that shape."
"I got it Chris and they're supposed to come apart and come together in a star?"
"Yeah, with those initials and gemstones."
"Got it, anything else?"
"Not that I can think of at the moment." Chris smiled hugging him across the counter.
"I'll have it done in a few hours. I'll call you."
"Thanks." Chris said walking out.
Chris met up with Emily, Carrie and Elizabeth at a nearby coffee place.
"I see you found one?" Elizabeth asked.
"Yes, I also had a few errands to run." Chris smiled. She saw the Victoria's Secret bag. "What's that?" Chris asked pointing with her foot.
"A gift for JJ." Emily answered simply sipping her coffee.
"Don't you own a store here?" Elizabeth asked.
"My family owns the store, but yes." Chris said.
"Did you stop in?" Emily asked
"Yes, I actually have an order I have one of the employees working on." Chris smiled.
"That's why you got the Jeep." Elizabeth said.
"Yeah, so you can leave when you're done, I'm gonna finish my errands." Chris said getting up and kissing Elizabeth's cheek. "See you at home." She kissed Emily and Carrie's cheeks and walked off.
"I wonder what she is up to."
Chris pulled out her phone. "Tara? I changed my mind, I'll help set up for formal." Chris laughed at the cheering on the other end and hung up.
Chris bought what she would need and when she finished her phone beeped and she ran to the jewelry store. She handed Greg her credit card and paid for the ring and necklaces.
"Hope it goes well." Greg said as Chris left.
Later that night Emily was sitting in the living room. The door bell rang and she called up the stairs.
"Carrie! Chris! I'm going out!" She bolted out the front door before either girl could make it out of the room and ask where she was going. She looked at Jenna. "We need to talk."
"Ok." Jenna said as Emily dragged her to the elevator and hit the down button.
"I'm not going to get back together with you." Emily began and held her hand up when Jenna went to interrupt. "Nothing you say or do will change that. I love Jennifer and I'm fixing what you broke. You need to leave us alone Jenna and I want my key and the ring back." Emily said as Jenna huffed.
"No." The elevator came to a stop and Jenna walked out to her car.
"Jenna I'm serious! Give me the key and ring back." Emily said firmly.
"You want it? Come get it." Jenna got into her car and Emily growled aggravated and got in the passenger side.
"Jenna, I'm not playing your game." Emily said as Jenna put the key in her bra and lifted her skirt putting the ring in her panties. "Jenna!" Emily cried.
"Like I said, you can have them if you come get them." Jenna smirked starting the car.
"Jenna, what part of we're done do you not understand? You left me!" Emily exclaimed.
"And now I'm back for you." Jenna said. "I was stupid when I left. I want it Emily, I want it all. You and Chris, we could be a family."
"You forgot about Carrie and it will never happen, I love Jennifer and I want to be with her." Emily said repeating her words from earlier. "I'm done with you." Emily said getting out and slamming the car door shut.
Not even five minutes back in the condo did the doorbell ring. Emily sighed and pulled the door open.
"Jenna, for the last…JJ!" Emily gasped surprised to see the blonde at her door.
"Can we talk? I overreacted." JJ said as Emily stepped aside to let the blonde in.
When Chris and Carrie heard the blonde's name and voice they headed for the stairs but stopped halfway so they were hidden behind the wall.
"What do you want to talk about?" Emily asked as they took a seat on the couch.
"I should have let you explain. I was childish and stupid. She's your ex. If you wanted to be with her you'd be with her instead of me." JJ said looking at her hands as she fidgeted with them.
"Jenna and me, we're done, I have no plans of ever getting back with her. I love you JJ."
"I love you too, but it hurt and I've been hurt before and I hate the feelings that come with it and I fell headfirst, I always hope for the best and prepare for the worst, it's a bad habit and I…" JJ's rambling was cut off by a pair of soft lips on her own.
"JJ, shut up." Emily breathed bringing their lips back together.
Chris and Carrie smiled and high fived without thinking and the sound broke the two adults apart.
"You can come down now." Emily chuckled.
Chris shook her head with a smile. "We're good, continue."
"Goodnight!" Carrie called as they ran to the room.
JJ giggled. "They're teenaged girls, what do you expect?"
"Privacy." Emily said as JJ shook her head and kissed her.
