"Dig in, boys." Spike told Jay and Sean, she had just come back too with Jack the other day.
Jack came running into the kitchen, "Gator!" he happily noticed Jay and then hugged his leg tight.
"Hey sprout." Jay said, glancing at his feet and then getting a plate.
Sean gave a wierd look. When the hell did Jay and Emma's brother get close? Sean felt a bit jealous when he noticed Emma watching the two but pushed it aside as he sat beside Emma on the couch
Jay grabbed a pizza and eyed Sean before sitting on the other side of Emma, leaving the parents and Jack in the kitchen.
Even Emma felt awkward, shifting in her spot.
"So Sean, how's life?" Emma tried to make conversation. She noticed if she leaned to the right of left, she'd be leaning on one of their shoulders, when she touched Jay, she almost jumped back like fire.
Jay noticed this and Emma caught his look for them to both look away.
"Me and Ellie broke up." Sean decided to declare.
Jay rolled his eyes, ofcourse. And ofcourse he had to tell her.
"I'm sorry, Sean." Emma said, putting a hand on the boy's shoulder.
Jay clenched his jaw and then smirked, "You didn't tell me anything about that." He said out loud and bit into his pizza.
Sean narrowed his eyes at Jay, "I wasn't sick the other day, I just had to go talk to Ellie." He admitted.
"So you made me do the work alone?" Jay bittered, but barely even cared, he then taunted, "Wow, great boyfriend AND friend." Jay hid his smirk seeing the look on Emma's face, who couldn't agree more.
"I'm going to get more pizza." She announced and got up. Jay was awfully good at making Sean look bad.
When she left the room Sean turned to Jay, "What the hell are you doing?"
Jay snapped back, "what are you doing, Cameron? Don't think I don't know what your getting so hard for these days. Your face practically screams for her, you obvious peice of-"
"Do you guys want another?" Emma came back in and they both shut up.
"no thanks." Sean politely said with a small smile. Emma just nodded and looked at Jay who removed his glare off of Sean to look at Emma, to slowly and calmy shake his head no.
He watched Emma go back in the kitchen and glared back at Sean.
Sean finally confessed, "Fine I want her back."
"You don't give a shit about her anymore, you told me yourself." Jay said in disgust, "You just want her new piece of ass."
"Shut the fuck up." Sean hissed, looking back to see if Emma was listening. Thankfully not. He then got up and taunted Jay, "Now if you don't mind, me and Emma wanna hang out." He raised an eyebrow giving Jay a hint to leave.
Jay bit the end of his tounge, glancing at the kitchen Emma was in until he got up and charged out.
"Gatoorrr." Jack cried, coming from the kitchen and raising his hands in a 'hug me' position. He cried at the door Jay left out of.
Emma came in hearing the door slam and Jack start crying. She looked around as Sean smiled but she didn't even look at him.
"Where'd Jay go?" she asked.
Sean coughed and shrugged, "Decided to go. Got his grub and that was all he needed." He smiled again.
Emma nodded slowly until sitting back down on the couch again.
She regretted asking him to stay, she could feel his eyes glancing at her but she tried to ignore it. It was hard though when he shifted a bit closer to her.
Really? Were they 13 years old again?
Emma nervously played with her hair and when Sean went to raise his arm around her, she shot up and stood up.
"It's pretty late." She declared, "I'm going to pass out soon." She lied.
Sean blinked but then nodded, "Yeah, sure. I'll leave then so you can sleep." He paused before leaning in.
Emma looked away from him but he still went and kissed her on the cheek before walking out.
Emma watched the door close and crossed her arms. What the hell was that?
"He broke up with Ellie and now he's kissing your cheek?" Manny asked Emma the next night during their sleepover and took a deep breath, "Boys still crazy for you."
That's what Emma was afraid of.
"On other note." Manny said, knowing Emma didn't want to heart that, so she lifted a copy of a movie, "I got Pirates of the carribean and we are going to drool over all night."
Emma laughed.
As the two laid on Emma's bed, the middle of the movie Manny had to ask, "So why did you come back early from Florida?" she asked.
Emma looked away from the tv but didn't look at Manny, "Complications I guess.."
"With the guy you met?" Manny asked. She had gotten texts from Emma, and heard all about this new guy.
Emma uncomfortably shifted, "Yeah..." her eyes seemed distant so Manny just nodded, forgetting about the conversation and turned up the movie some more.
Emma relaxed. She loved when Manny just knew.
Manny left the next morning, and on her way out she saw Jay and Sean turn to glance at her. Sean dropped his tools and immediately greeted her, "Hey Manny." He greets.
Manny sucked in a breath before sighing, "Hey Sean."
Jay smirked a bit taking a seat on the driveways curb for a break and chugged his water bottle.
Sean slowly asked, "how are you these days?"
Manny bit her tounge and shook her head, "Cut the small talk, Sean, what do you need?" she crossed her arms.
Both her and Sean heard Jay chuckle, and noticed him watching entertainingly.
Sean saldy looked down, shifted his feet, "Just miss the way things were. Was wondering if maybe you've heard anything about me with Emma."
"She hasn't said a thing." Manny lied, knowing if she told Sean the truth he'd over think it. Emma was good without him, all they did was fight, it wasn't even cute fighting, just exhausting... for everyone even!
Sean nodded but felt a bit denied. Jay was still smirking and gulping his water.
"Look Sean, be friends with her, that's cool. But I'm not match maker between you two anymore, Emma's finally happy, please back off." She told Sean and then nodded, that was all she had to say. Manny glanced to Jay before leaving, "See yeah Jay."
Jay just nodded a bit. They talked a bit at the pool party so weren't too much of strangers anymore. Jay still thought she was slutty though but hey, he was still a theif too.
Sean watched Manny go and then eyed Jay, "Since when does she notice you?"
"All girls notice me." Jay huskily said before standing up, "Or did you mean when did she start talking to me? We're all friends." He sarcastically noted, gazing at the house to hint he meant Emma too.
That ate at Sean who glared, "just stay away from Emma, she doesn't want you standing in her way." He confirmed. He clearly still didn't know they had hung out at the pool party.
Jay opened his mouth but shut it, why would he fight about Emma? There was no point. There was no reason. He didn't like her. He didn't.
"Got it?" Sean edged Jay on further.
Jay finally snapped, "Who says you shouldn't stay away?" he nodded back where Manny left, "Clearly she knows things about you Emma has told her and warned YOU to stay away."
Sean went to open his mouth but shut it as Emma came out.
Emma wore jean short shorts and a green tank top, her hair tossed in a high pony tail with some strands of hair at the front hanging out. Not to mention her bangs too.
Jay watched her but then blinked, looking away, "I'm done for the day." He said and left.
Emma looked up to then see Jay leaving. Why was he always leaving now?
Specailly when she came out...
Sean smiled at her and she tried to muster a smile back.
The next day, Emma kept glancing out her window to see who would come first to work on the car, thankfully, it was Jay.
Emma hopped into her yesterday jean shorts, what? She was in a rush. Then tossed on a tight white tank top that showed off her smooth tanned stomach.
She threw her hair into a pony tail again as she opened her front door and skipped down the steps and down the driveway.
Jay noticed her come out and thankfully wore his sunglasses so she didn't notice him glance longingly at her.
It's just the body, he reminded himself.
Emma came over, to him. Jay raised an eyebrow, that was new.
"Can I help you, princess?" he taunts.
Emma leaned on the car as he opened her dads hood and just took a deep, "Do you.." she drifts off.
Jay glanced at her and she seemed lost in though.
"Does-" she shut herself up again and crossed her arms.
Clearly something was troubling her and he dropped the wrench he picked up to then dropped the hood down and leaned on it, looking at her.
"Are you going to stutter here all day or are you going to ask?" he taunted and she narrowed her eyes at him, he couldn't help but to grin and then chuckle, tossing his tool into the tool box.
Emma huffed, "Is Sean trying to get me back?" she finally asked.
Jay removed his sunglasses, resting them onto the front of his shirt and eyed her up and down, "You want him to?" he asked curiously.
Emma rolled her eyes, "not really." She replied.
Jay felt a bit of a wierd pull in his chest as he grinned more, hearing that made his day.
He grabbed another tool, "good." He remarked.
Emma eyed him and put her hands on her hips, "What if I did want him too?" she taunts and Jay looked back up at her, clenching his jaw and snickering bitterly. There was some emotion curling in his stomach, and it made him want to rip Sean's head off. "What's so funny?"
"You" Jay confirmed, "You, Emma Nelson, are funny."
"is that so?"
"do you think of anything else except boys and make up and butterflies?" taunts Jay.
Emma rolled her eyes, "Don't even wear make up Jay." She didn't like how it was texted on animals. mascara now and then wasn't so bad though.
Oh, wow. Shit. Jay eyed her closely, she didn't. Fuck that's the most prettiest natural- I mean-
"You get my point." He declared, narrowing his eyes at her.
His phone went off, a text, he pulled it out and glanced at it.
LEXI: Where R U?
"I probably know more than you think." Emma taunts him back as he snapped back to her and laughed, ignoring his phone and went back to working as he lifted the hood and tried to keep it steadily up.
Emma rolled her eyes and walked over to him. His mouth fell a bit when her body brushed on him and then leaned forward into the hood.
He couldn't help but let his eyes trail down her back, the lower part was bare due to her lack of her shirt. His eyes then slowly focused on her ass she leaned more over.
She had taken the Hoods stand and placed it up to keep it open, she didn't understand why Jay just wouldn't do that?
She leaned back and he snapped out of it, looking at her as she raised an eyebrow. He glanced at the hood that now stayed open.
He coughed, "I was going to do that." He was. God he looked stupid. If SOMETHING wasn't distracting him so much maybe it would of been already done.
His phone went off again. SWEAR TO GOD if that's Alex..
Spinner: Party this weekend, you in?
"So how much longer til you guys are done?" Emma asked, leaning on the front of the car and Jay actually stood close in front of her.
He probably wouldn't go to Spin's party, I mean, it wasn't his kind of friends, even thought Spin wasn't bad... but his girl friend and best friend defiantly were.
"Trying to get rid of me, GP?" jay asked with a smirk and Emma tried to hide her smile but it was cracking out. Jay then got a glimpse of something behind her, ruining their moment, "prince charming is here." He took a bit of a step back away from her.
"what?" Emma asked quickly, whipping her head around to see Sean coming over. She turned to Jay and rolled her eyes at him.
Jay was smiling, legit smiling. He caught himself do it and then whipped it off his face.
Emma decided to go and didn't come out until Sean had left.
Jay was packing his stuff up as he noticed Emma come out and playfully said, "I swear you were avoiding Cameron or something." Or more, he hoped.
Wait, why was he hoping? Who cared.
Emma shot back, "I swear we didn't fight once today." She noticed, she then looked up at the darkish sky, "The world must be coming to an end."
Jay lifted his eyes from cleaning his tools and a smile escaped his lips, looking at her.
He then snapped his eyes off and just coughed, nodding slowly like it wasn't a big deal.
"Are you going to Spinners party?" Emma asked, eyeing Jay. She couldn't help it, for some reason, she wanted to kind of get to know him. He wasn't so bad these days. She thought she could see SOME kind of light in him.
Jay looked back up at her slowly. He wasn't going to...
If she was asking, she was probably going.
"Yeah." He finally answered and she nodded.
Then she thought, he'd probably bring Alex. She rolled her eyes, great. Jay took her reaction differently, thinking she was rolling her eyes to the fact he was going.
Then why the hell did she ask!
"Well, I'm leavin..." Jay drifted a bit lowly, Emma noticed his mood changed from playful to a bit distant. What got him moody suddenly?
"See yeah." She called and watched him until out of sight.
