"you screwed up." Alex simply informed Jay, outside now.

They stood by his car, well, she sat on the front of his car as he stood infront of it. Like old times..having a smoke.

"Shove it, Alex." he growled, flicked his cigerette away angerily.

Alex laughed, "I never seen you so tense." she leaned forward tauntingly and whispered, "Nelson has you looking like an idiot this time" she leaned back looking impressed, "For once I give it to the girl, she did a good job." she winked, "Your not all mucho anymore. You're at a loss with a girl for once."

"Skip the whole revenge talk Lex." taunted Jay, "We go through it every time we break up, then when we're together, I cheat on you again, and back to being broken up.. it's getting old." he muttered.

Alex glared but nodded and then asked, "Ever think this happened to you BECAUSE you don't treat girls right?" she crossed her arms, "Lucky for you I wasn't most girls you cheated on me with."

Jay gave her a confused look.

She shrugged, "I never loved you, I mean, I care about you as a friend as much as you piss me off.. and I understand your attitude cause I got one too..but I knew you could never love me back, couldn't love anybody back.. which is something those other girls didn't know you were incapable of." she laughed, "Now, some powerful miracle has happened and Jay found someone who could make him squirm." her smirk justified what she was feeling.

"If you knew, then you shouldn't of kept coming back to me." Jay insisted, feeling a little bit bad though deep down. He should of been better... this was Karma. He did deserve not getting the one girl who he's ever fallen for, who could make everything right, why did he deserve that?

"Oh but you're like, such a babe." Alex mocked the many girls she's heard say that and laughed, it was agreeable, but she now just looked at him as a very good friend.. even if they haven't seen another since last break up, "I knew this break up was going to be different. For once you didnt look like you needed me, like you were fine being on your own now, which we both know you use to hate." she eyed Jay closely and asked seriously, "She know about your past?"

Jay swallowed hard but nodded at her, "Not everything but most of it."

"So...while your okay with being on your own, you what? Noticed you liked Nelsons presence?" she snorted, shaking her head, "That couldn't be it. I even knew you liked teasing her a little too much before."

"She made me laugh." Jay remembered being shocked that the day she came over to him, looking for Rick, "That's when it came to me that I liked the girl.. she's crazy, but she made me laugh, and I made her laugh..and I felt happy and I really wanted to see that smile again."

"How lovely." taunted Alex boredly but nodded, understanding, "She's gotten pretty hot." she smirked when Jay gave her that look and she shrugged, "Been looking into my sexuality a lot more lately."

Jay laughed, shaking his head, then thought about Emma some more..

"Fight for her Jay." Alex said, cutting off his thoughts as she got up and off his car and patted his chest, "A girl always wants the guy to fight for her." with that, she walked off.

Meanwhile..

"Emma we're going to go to Joeys again tonight." Spike told her daughter in the kitchen.

Emma nodded, chopping up some carrots to eat while Spike kissed her cheek goodbye.

"You don't got to worry about Jack tonight." Snake insisted, coming through the kitchen holding her brother and his baby seat in the other hand.

Emma just smiled.. barely, and nodded again. Let's just say her life was a little overwhelming right now.

Snake called to Spike, "Let's go honey."

Spike nodded and grabbed the car keys to then stop and turn, "Emma don't you have that dance tonight?" she asked, shocked Emma wasn't getting ready.

Emma stopped cutting the carrots and looked away guilty, "I don't feel good." she half lied, she felt horrible since she never threw herself into Jay's arms, declaring her love for him back.

Spike gave an odd look and seemed concerned until Snake nudged her and nodded to the car.

Emma was smart, if she didn't want to go, she wouldn't, and if she did, she wouldn't be scared to go.

They left, and the house was left with Emma.

Her cell phone rang and she put the knife down, answering it while chewing on a carrot, "Hello?"

Manny answered back, "Why not just come with me? We'll be anothers dates. You can't back out of the dance you just can't!"

"I don't see the fun in it." Emma admitted.

"You mean I have to go alone?" she groaned.

"Not alone," smiled Emma, "With Sully.. even though you know he's an ass and is seeing Heather Sinclaire too."

There was silence, then a soft giggle, Emma shook her head laughing. Oh Manny...

"Please call if you change your mind?" Manny asked seriously.

Emma grabbed a carrot to think about it and nodded, "Sure." she bit into it.

"By the way.." drifts Manny, "The other day I totally saw Jay Hogart ram his fist into a window after seeing you on the back of Sean's motorcycle."

Emma cringed, yeah... she would feel angry too if she actually saw Jay in the back of Amy's car... God she's been an idiot. Fear really changed a person..

Manny went on, "That seems like love to me!"

"Good bye Manny." Emma teased, and hung up after saying, "Enjoy the dance."

Emma heard her door knock and gave a look, that's wierd.. She held onto her big carrot and walked towards the door and opened it.

Jay smirked, and it took her breath away because he could still have the bad boy vibe while wearing such gentlemen clothes and even a tie... and no HAT!?

"This is a different side of you." Emma admitted, motioning to his clothes with a point...well, she pointed her carrot at him.

He laughed a little, "Well White Rabbit, you're late...for a very important date." he qouted Alice In Wonderland.

Emma opened her mouth then shook her head no, "Oh no, I'm not going." she admitted and rolled her eyes, "I actually even set up my date with Liberty." she snickered, "Probably would of been lame an-" she stopped talking and breathing and even dropped her carrot when he grabbed her hand and pulled her down a step and very, awfully, close to him, against him.

"I meant with me." his voice was stern, deep..husky. Emma melted into his arms.

She then gave a look, glancing down at herself and back up into his beautiful blue eyes, "In my pajamas?" she asked.

He looked her over and softly chuckled, "Whatever you want, Em." he moved his fingers up and slowly onto her hair, carressing through it. He wondered for so long how soft it was

She melted even more and then shook her head and tried to get out of his hold, "This won't work, it can't." she insisted, freaking out a bit, her heart speeding so fast she couldn't catch her breath until she gasped when he wrapped his arms so tighty around her waist and leaned his forehead down on hers

"Right now.." he drifts queitly, but oh most demandingly, "You're going to tell me the first thing that pops into your head when I ask." he smirked when she nodded softly against his forehead, "You think about me?"

"Yes.." she said, squinting her eyes at him and tried to hide her smile.

He smiled back widely, "You wana be with me..even if that's scary to you."

"...Yes." Emma whispered, looking down at his lips.

He inched closer to her face, "And you want to break all those silly rules you made so you CAN be with me." he teased about her nerdy rules.

Emma just shut his smart mouth up with a deep kiss, he was shocked for a millasecond, wanting to be the first to kiss her, but happily kissed her back. He unwrapped his one arm so he could put his hand on her neck, kissing her deeply and passionately, leaving her breathless.

So..he may not be brilliant, or a leader of the chess club.. but he was a smart ass... she'd take it.

They pulled away to catch their breath for Emma to breath in shakingly, "Don't hurt me." she pleaded, knowing he'd have the power to fully to it, more than anyone.

He had her head over heels

Jay cupped her face into both his hands, kissing her forehead then her cheek, "Don't hurt me." he simply ordered back and kissed her again.

She smiled against the kiss then the two made out on the streets, before she pulled him hand and hand into her house.

"We're not gonna go to the dance?" Jay asked, hopeful yet shocked, he thought she'd wanna go.

"I think we have better things to do." Emma said, pulling him along through the door and smirked over her shoulder at him..

Jay was so in shock, bliss and love that he didn't even shut the door behind him as they went to her room.
