You're My Rock ( A Rocky Lynch Story )

Chapter 6

Jules POV

It had been 3 weeks since mine and Rocky's first date. We'd hung out almost everyday. We would hug and often kiss, yet he still hadn't asked me to be his girlfriend. When I was with him, I felt so happy, and when we kiss, I feel so special and all these butterflies flutter around my stomach. I think I really like Rocky, I just hope he likes me back.

He'd been over to my house a lot and met my mum, which went surprisingly well. I think she approves of him. He still hadn't taken me to meet his family yet. I know that they aren't getting on at the moment, but he hasn't even taken me to his house.

It kind of annoyed me, how rude he was about his family. I used to have an older brother, an older sister and a dad. It was summer, and they were going to the beach, my mum was at work and I wasn't feeling well. On the way back from their trip, they were in a car accident. All of them died, except from my dad who has been in a coma for the past year since the accident.

I was about to meet up with Rocky now, at the ice cream shop. I made my way to the entrance and saw him standing outside, playing with his phone. He looked really attractive in his plain white shirt and ripped baggy jeans. He was also wearing a grey beanie. I love it when he wears beanies.

I walked up to him, and when he saw me, a huge smile spread across his face. My stomach went funny at the thought of him being happy to see me. He came up to me and pulled me into a tight hug. He still smelt like men's cologne and mint. He actually let me keep his jumper from the day he spilt coffee all over me. On cold nights I usually sleep in it. It makes me feel safe. We pulled away, and he grabbed my hand before leading me into the store. It was weird he was walking with a skip in his step and he still hasn't stopped smiling.


"What would you like today?"


I looked up and saw the girl behind the counter mentally undressing Rocky with her eyes. I gripped his hand tighter and gave her a fake smile.


"I'll have 2 scoops of cookies and cream in a cup"

"I'll have the same" Rocky told her, seeming oblivious to her attraction towards him.


The girl gave me the biggest death glare before going and getting our ice cream. Rocky gave me a strange look.


"What's wrong?"

"Did you seriously not see her checking you out?"


He just laughed and put his arm around me. I moved closer to him as the girl came back. She gave me mine and nicely handed Rocky his. I noticed a small slip of paper being shoved into Rocky's hand. He noticed me looking at it and gave me a reassuring smile.


"Oh I think this is yours" he handed her the slip of paper back.


The girl turned a deep shade of red and I couldn't help but let out a little giggle. She glared at me again before Rocky and I walked away.

We found a bench across the road and sat down to eat our ice cream. Rocky sat really close to me and kept rubbing his knee against mine. He still was smiling and seemed overly happy.


"Hey are you ok?"

"I am fabulous. Why?"


See that's weird. He's not normally like this.


"You seem different. You're really happy. It's strange"


Rocky just shrugged and went back to eating his ice cream. I just shoved it to the back of my mind and focused on enjoying our....date?

Rocky turned to me and seemed as if he was trying to ask me something.


"Jules?"

"Yeah?"

"I.....I wanted to...uhh... I wanted to ask you something" he stuttered out.

"Ok....?"

"I wanted to know if you would...." He paused.

"If I would what?" I was now completely confused.

"Bemygirlfriend" he mumbled quickly.

"What? Slow down I can't understand"

"I was wondering if you would be my girlfriend"


It took me a while to take in what he had just asked. His girlfriend?! He looked at me with hopeful eyes.


"Rocky...of course I'll be your girlfriend"


I can't even describe how happy I felt at the moment and judging by the huge grin on Rocky's face, he was happy too. His face became more serious as he leant in and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear.

I put my hand at the back of his neck and pulled him into a kiss. He kissed back and put his hands around my waist, pulling me closer. An almost electric sensation spread throughout my whole body. We pulled away and rested our foreheads together.


"That was amazing" we said in unison.

Rocky POV


I waved goodbye once again, somewhat thankful to be leaving Jules. Don't get me wrong, I loved spending time with her, it's just that the pills were wearing off and I'm almost at the stage where my moods are the worst and I get really violent and angry. I only took the pills today to help me have the confidence to ask Jules to be my girlfriend.
