"Hey Mom," Emma said walking into the house Jay following close behind. There was no answer, they were alone. Emma smiled.
"I don't know where she went but we're alone," Emma took Jay's hand and led him downstairs to her bed. He stood in front of the bed and wrapped his arms around her waist.
She leaned up and kissed him passionately. She pulled him by the shirt onto the bed over her. She continued to kiss him. He slid his tongue into her mouth and smiled. She broke away from his lips briefly and moved down his neck and back up to his mouth.
"Love you," she muttered before pressing her lips back to his.
He pressed his lips to her temple and whispered in her ear, "Love you more."
She felt her cheeks heat up and he smirked when they turned crimson. He kissed both red cheeks and then kissed down her neck just as she had done. She sighed loudly and ran her hands through his hair. He kiss her hard on the mouth again. He slid a hand inside her shirt and began to let it roam.
She pulled away and he quickly removed his hand, "Sorry."
She looked down and avoided his gaze, "It's fine."
He sighed, "Em, I really am sorry. I just got caught up."
She nodded, "I know."
He put a hand on the side of her face and kissed her but she pulled away quickly. He looked her in the eyes and saw sadness. He sat up and pulled her closer to him, "What's wrong?"
A tear escaped her eye and she quickly wiped it away, "I'm sorry I'm being such a girl."
"Hey Em, don't cry babe," Jay pulled her into a tight hug.
She sighed, "Sorry, I just feel like this is not fair to you."
He kissed her forehead, "Babe, I love you so much. It's really not fair to you, I keep pushing you and that's not right."
She frantically shook her head negatively, "No Jay, you're not pushing me. I'm sorry, can we just forget about this. Are you hungry?"
Jay sighed discouraged, "Yeah, let's go eat."

"Do you get it now? You have to move all the numbers to one side so the equation equals 0 so you can find X," Emma said trying explain the math problem to Jay.
"Okay I get that but how do I do that?" Jay asked totally confused. He never really paid attention in class and was now a year behind. He felt like an idiot but math just wasn't his thing.
"You have to subtract the same amount..." Her voice sounded distant and he lacked focus. He could no longer hear her explaining what to do. He watched as she ran a hand through her hair. He continued to watch her until she noticed.
"Jay? Are you even listening?" She asked impatiently.
Jay smirked and shook his head no, "I'm sorry Em. I'm trying I really am but your distracting me."
She shook her head and tried her best to hide a smile. She got up and went down stairs. She put her hair up in a bun on top of her head, removed all of her makeup and put on bag sweat pants and a sweater. She ran back up the stairs and stepped into the kitchen. Jay was not alone. He sat awkwardly at the table and Snake stood near by.
Jay laughed at Emma's attempt to make him focus. Snake cleared his throat, "Okay Emma, I think we all need to sit down and talk a little bit."
Emma's stomach did a flip, where was this going? She nodded and pulled up a chair close to Jay. He sat with his elbows casually on the table in front of his homework. Emma would have liked to lay her head on his shoulder but not in this situation.
"Okay, Emma I know way too much about your past relationship with Sean. I don't want anything that your not ready for to happen so I'm warning you both now that I will not accept any funny business," Snake awkwardly spoke.
Emma put her head down and avoided anyone's gaze and shook her head. She cringed at the thought of this conversation going any further.
"And I also want there to be no lying. If your going to go spend the night at Jayson's then say so. Don't lie. We'll accept that you may eventually stay there but don't lie about it okay?" Archie continued. Emma still could not look up. She nodded and he stood up and left the two teens alone.
Jay cleared his throat, "Em?" She still did not look up she couldn't after how awkward that conversation had been.
"Yeah?" She answered quietly.
"What was that?" Jay asked still feeling slightly uncomfortable.
Emma stood up and began to put away her books, "Um that was his way of giving us the talk."
Jay laughed, "Wow, never thought I'd hear that talk from my MI teacher."
Emma glared at him, "Bet you never thought you'd be with me either but here we are."
Jay stood next to Emma and wrapped his strong arms around her from behind, "I'm a lot happier with one more than the other."
Emma melted into his arms and chest letting her head fall back against him with a sigh. He kissed the top of her head and then pulled them over to sit on the couch. He sat on the end with one arm on the armrest. The other wrapped around Emma with her head on his chest.
Emma sighed when she heard her mother pull in the yard. "We can go to my place if you want?" he asked noticing her mother's arrival. Emma nodded and they met Christine at the door.
"Bye Mom, I'll be back later." Emma said quickly pulling Jay out the door. They hopped into his civic and took off down the street to his 1 bedroom apartment.

Emma rolled out of sleep the next morning. She hasn't gotten home until almost midnight. She yawned and climbed out of bed. She set her feet on the floor but stepped on someone instead. Her feet jolted up into her chest and she covered her mouth. Jay was on the floor. Asleep.
"Jay wake up, we have school," Emma said quietly. She heard feet moving above her in the kitchen.
He opened his eyes and smiled, "Hey you.".
"What are you doing here?" She was shocked to see him sleeping on her bedroom floor at 6 o'clock in the morning on a Friday.
"Oh when I drove you home last night I forgot my key so I climbed in the side window and locked your bedroom door," He said with a smirk. He stood up and held a hand to help Emma out of bed. She sighed and stood in front of him with her hands on her hips.
"Fine, just go before someone knows your here," she said with a unimpressed look. He smirked and kissed her lightly and left out the window.
She walked lazily over to the bathroom and got into the shower. She stepped out feeling refreshed. She sighed with a smile and got ready for school. Emma made her way up the stairs and unlocked the door and stepped into the kitchen.
Spike sat at the table with Jack. Snake had probably already left for school. "Hey Em, what time did you get home last night?"
Emma kissed Jack's head and sat down at the table, "Oh um close to midnight I think."
Spike gave a disapproving look, "Too late Emma. New curfew okay? 10 on school nights and 11 on weekends. I know Snake said that we'd accept you staying at Jay's but I need to know when okay?"
Emma nodded and scarfed down a bowl of cereal. She stood up and kissed Jack's head once more. She threw on a small denim coat and stepped into the crisp Toronto air. A familiar orange civic sat waiting for her in the driveway. She smiled and tapped on the driver's side window. Jay looked over at her and smirked.
He got out of the car and slid his strong arms around Emma, "Good morning." He kissed her passionately but softly. Emma smiled against the kiss but felt something she wasn't used to, she felt like she wanted more.
"It's Friday, we should do something," Emma suggested with a smile. She wanted to get out and do something fun.
"Yeah okay, I think Spin's having a party. We can go to that and only if you want to you can crash at my place," Jay suggested hopeful she would accept.
She smiled and nodded, "Sounds good. I'll text Mom after school that way I won't have to deal with her in person."
Jay smirked and shook his head. He kissed her one more time and once again Emma wanted more. She sighed and went to the passenger door and climbed into the civic. Jay drove quickly to school but they school day however did not pass quickly.
Emma sighed as the final bell rang and she darted for her locker. She shoved her stuff in her locker. Thank goodness this weekend was homework free. She closed her locker door as Jay walked up to her. She slid her fingers into his and they walked out of Degrassi. He lit a cigarette and she removed it directly from his grasp and held it out of reach.
"Em, come on I know you don't like it but I smoke okay? Now hand it over," Jay said begging her. He needed a fix.
Emma had earlier decided in class that she was ready to have sex with Jay. The decision was sudden but it all made sense. That feeling of wanting more, sex was more. She smirked, "Cigarette or me."
Jay's mouth dropped, "Em, you are not seriously going to break up with me right now because of a cigarette are you?"
Emma laughed, "No. I meant you can have the cigarettes as long as you want but until you quit I'm not going to sleep with you."
Jay cocked his head, "You're not sleeping with me now so I'll take the cigarette."
Emma didn't let him take it back, "I wouldn't be so fast to say that Hogart. I decided I'm ready to sleep with you so now you can choose. The cigarette or me."
Jay dropped his hand reaching for the cigarette and he tossed the whole packages at her, "Take them, I dot want them now."
Emma smiled with victory, "Good," she crushed the lit cigarette under her foot and tossed the package in the trash. "Now, tonight if you don't smoke at the party then we'll see about us."
Jay shook his head and smirked, "Yeah right. You said the cigarette or you. I chose you and since I was going to have a smoke right now, I want you right now."
Emma made a pft sound and smiled, "Whatever to say babe."
Jay laughed and they climbed into the civic. He drove to his place quickly and jumped out of the car and threw her up around his shoulder and ran into the apartment. He set her down after he closed the door. She stood leaning against the door wit a sly grin.
He shook his head and pushed her up against the door. She gasped and he crashed his lips to hers. Her jumped up and wrapped her legs around his waist. He held her ass, "Love you." He said into her ear before kissing it. She sighed, "Love you more."
He began to move his hands into her shirt. She didn't react so be looked into her eyes for approval. She nodded and smiled before kissing him again. He held her and walked them into the bedroom.
He set her down carefully on the bed. He leaned towards her and removed her shirt revealing her perfect body. He stared in awe and she began to remove his shirt. Soon they collapsed side by side panting and out of breath. He pulled her closer to him and snuggled tight.
She smiled, "Sean was never easy to cuddle with. I like this."
Jay laughed, "I'm sure BamBam was just as easy in bed as me."
Emma laughed with Jay this time, "No meant like first of all he never wanted to cuddle with me and second of all I didn't fit well next to him. This is perfect."
Jay kissed the top of her head, "I love you, and you're right."
Emma smiled, "I love you too. We have a party to attend and I need a shower. I'm going home to get ready and you can swing by around 7?"
Emma tried to get out of bed but Jay pulled her back down to cuddle, "5 more minutes. Then you can go."

Emma walked up her basement stairs in a short denim skirt and a small black tank top. She had on gladiator sandals and he hair flowed down her back in loose curls.
"Emma, where are you going and when will you be home?" Spike asked from the couch. She was knitting for Baby Jack.
"I am going to a party at Spinner's. I will be at Jay's tonight. I'll be home sometime tomorrow," Emma explained leaning against the wall with her bag. She was waiting for Jay.
"Okay, be careful. Call me if you need something," Spike said with a small smile. He continued knitting and Emma heard Jay honk. She smiled and said goodbye to her mother.
Emma tossed her bag into the back seat of Jay's car and sat in the front seat. She leaned in just as he did and kissed him for a while. They both came up for air and he kissed her cheek quickly then turned on the car.
"Are you excited?" Jay asked with a smirk. He drove quickly.
"I've been to parties before. No biggie," Emma said with a shrug. She had been to a few parties. Nothing too wild.
"No Greenpeace. It's our first sleepover," Jay stated with another classic Jay smirk.
"Oh yeah, how cute. Let's party first," Emma said with a smile as they hit Spinner's street. Anyone could hear the music as they approached. Emma and Jay hopped out of the civic and walked hand in hand into he party.
"Jay, my man! You came," Spinner yelled already drunk as the couple stepped through the front door. "And you brought Emma?"
Jay gave Spinner a look and he shut up and walked away. "I want a drink," Jay said searching around the room for a keg. He spotted a case of beer and took one.
He took a swig of the beer and held Emma close to him. She smiled and looked around at the different people. "Hey Em, you wanna dance?" Jay said whispering in her ear before kissing it.
Emma laughed, "No I do not dance. I'll take a drink though." She lead the way into the kitchen and found herself a cooler. She wasn't one to drink but she was changing and that was okay.
She saw Craig and some other familiar people near by. She and Jay walked in that direction.
"Hey Emma Nelson," Craig Manning slurred with a sloppy grin.
Emma laughed, "Hi Craig."
"Em, do a shot or two with us," Craig suggested standing next to Ashley, Paige, and Marco.
She smiled and nodded. Jay came up next to her and got a shot for himself. They all took 7 shots and where feeling good. Emma smiled up at Jay. Jay felt fine, he drank a lot and knew how to hold his liquor. Emma on the other hand was not so great at this.
"Let's dance," She said taking his hand and leading him to the living room. He stood behind her with a proud smirk that Emma Nelson was his.
"I thought you said you don't dance," he said to her from behind with his hands on her hips.
She smiled and leaned into him, "That was before I took notice of how sexy you are."
Jay laughed at Emma's comment. Clearly the shots had gone to her head and she had no idea what she was saying. He would, in the future, enjoy teasing her about this night because she most likely wouldn't remember much. The rest of the night followed suit. They danced and they drank.

Emma opened her eyes and tried to sit up but quickly laid back down. She felt like she had an elephant on her head. She rolled over onto Jay and jumped back a little. He stirred awake and smiled. "How are you feeling?" He was half mocking her pending hangover and half generally concerned for his girlfriend.
She grimaced, "Not great. How much did you let me drink?"
Jay widened his eyes mockingly, "Me? This is my fault?"
She smiled and flirtatiously hit his arm, "Babe, I'm serious how much did I have?"
Jay shrugged, "I don't know. A lot." He pulled her in close and wrapped both arms around her torso and nuzzled his neck into her shoulder. She willingly went back to sleep in Jay's arms. She didn't immediately fall back asleep.
She felt a chill and noticed her naked body up against Jay's. She widened her eyes for a minutes then relaxed. She closed her eyes and set her head lightly on his. She sighed when she realized she would not be sleeping again this morning. Trapped in Jay's arms, she carefully ran a pattern with her fingers up and down his arms and moved down his back.
He moaned, "Em, come on I'm trying to sleep."
She smiled and kissed his bed head, "I love you Jay."
In turn he smiled and answered her happily, "I love you too Em."
She continued to draw lightly with her fingers around his shoulder blades and back. He sighed and tried to ignore it. The more her hand traveled down his back the harder it was to ignore it. She finally ran a smooth and delicate hand over his bare ass. Breath caught in his throat, his eyes shot open. "Emma, seriously."
She let out a small giggle, "What baby?"
"I really want to sleep. You're making it hard," Jay said with his eyes still open.
"Well that sure didn't take much," she said jokingly.
She took it sexually. He rolled his eyes and poked her side. She flinched out of his arms and he quickly brought her back. She sighed and laid her head on his chest this time. He kissed her head and she smiled. She really was enjoying waking up with Jay.
