Chapter One: Maybe Next Time

He kissed her as he leaned against the car. The only person who wasn't completely disgusted with him was how his new girlfriend. He smiled as he took her hand to lead her to his house. She could since that he was a little shaky, and it was mildly understandable. She was about to meet his parents. "They're going to ask a lot of questions." He warned her.

"You'll get pay back when you come to dinner with my parents." She smiled at him innocently making him even more nervous. "Calm down." She whispered before kissing him, and then entering his house pulling him along behind her. His arm went around her waist protectively looking around to see if his parents were there. He had explained to them why meeting Emma was so important, and practically begged them to come home just for one night before two in the morning. Apparently he wasn't persuasive enough. Emma noticed that they weren't there too, and then saw the disappointment in his eyes. "It's okay. The sky ain't gonna fall just yet."

"I'm sorry." He said turning her into a hug. He figured that if Emma meet his parents that she would know how serious he was. He wanted this to work out, and prove the world that he wasn't going to screw his life up. Emma was going to make him better like a medication that once worked on his best friend.

"Show me to your room." She smiled as he reluctently pulled her along. He found himself disappointed by the fact that she was going to find out he was a slob. He seemed to forget she had seen the back of his car before.

Once they had gotten to his room she fell on the bed pulling him with her. She kissed him lightly smiling up at him. He fell beside her and wrapped his arms around her from behind. "I'm sorry that your parents didn't show up." She said softly. "I think I'll keep you anyways." She reached back putting her fingers in his hair. He closed his eyes and kissed her neck. His hands playing at the bottom of her shirt slowly moving up. She pulled her hand back placing it on his hand. "Jay..." She whispered softly in protest. She turned over to face him bring a hand to his cheek as she kissed him. "When it's gone." She said softly. "After that I'm yours." He nodded knowing it wouldn't be right to have sex with her especially after her STD test results came out negative. He held her as close to him as he could manage, and they laid there until it was finally time to take Emma home.
