Heartbreaker

Chapter 6

"I should play the 'test your strength game'," Rocky joked, "Look at these guns." he flexed his arms showing off his muscles. 

"Impressive," Emily giggled, "You should put those those to work by winning me a stuffed panda." 

She shot him a cheeky smile. Her eyes formed into crescents, and her bright pink lips showed off her teeth. 

Rocky sighed, "You're hard to resist...you know that?" 

"I do now," she smiled, rocking back and forth on her heels and toes. 

Rocky handed over $2 to the lady running the game, and he picked up the hammer. 

"This is for Asgard!" Rocky yelled while slamming down the hammer. DING! He had hit the bell with no problem. Emily clapped as the lady handed him the prize. 

"One panda, as promised," Rocky handed her the stuffed bear. 

Emily giggled, "Aww, thanks Thor." 

"You're welcome Jane," he chuckled. 

"Ooo let's get funnel cake!" Rocky insisted. 

"Okay, okay," Emily grinned following him. 

They sat together to share the cake, one on each end of the table. 

"You did great at the show today," Rocky smiled, "But I wanna' show you a few things on the guitar." 

"Oh, uh-huh," she replied sarcasticly, adding a smirk at the end. 

"Yes, uh-huh," Rocky smiled, replying with the same tone. 

He dipped his finger in the funnel cake power, and booped Emily's nose; getting it on her. 

"Oh we're playing that game!" She dipped her finger in the powder, and ran it across Rocky's cheek. 

Next thing they knew, they were having a sugar powder fight; and it ended up all over them. 

"Here," Rocky said, picking up a napkin and gently running it across her face, getting all the powder off. 

"Thanks," she smiled. 

Rocky then wiped all the power off his face as well, and they got up to walk around again. 

It began to get chilly, and Emily ran her hands across her goosebumps. 

"Here," Rocky said wrapping his hoodie around her. "Just remember to give it back this time," he smiled. His hands lingered longer than needed. 

"Oh, that's right," she giggled, recalling the jacket that still sat on her chair. 

"So what do you wanna' do now?" Rocky asked her. 

"I dunno," she shrugged, "My feet are getting a little tired." 

Rocky bend down for her. 

"What are you doing?" she questioned. 

"Hop on," he insisted. 

Emily hopped onto his back. Rocky grabbed her legs, and wrapped them around his body. He carried her to game after game, trying to win her prizes. They would even compete against each other at some games. 

"The fair will be closing in 10 minutes," someone announced over the speakers. 

"Awww," Emily whined resting her head on Rocky's shoulder. 

"Come on, let's get you home." 

Rocky bend down so she could hop on again, and he carried her all the way to his car. He set her down in front of the door, and he opened it for her again, like a gentlemen. Once she was secured in her seat, he walked around to his side and hopped in. He drove her back to her place, and walked her to the door as usual. 

Emily sighed as they walked up to her front door. 

"What's wrong?" Rocky asked concerned. 

"Listen Rocky... you're cute," she smiled, "But...I've had my heard broken multiple times...and I-" 

"Shhh..." Rocky whispered. 

He tucked a piece of her blonde hair behind her ear. 

"I'm not like those toher guys," he reassured her, "And I would never want to hurt you." 

"That's what they all say," she mumbled staring at her feet. 

"Hey," he shighed, lifting up her chin so her eyes met his. "I've been searching...and searching for my perfect girl. Emily...you're her. You're different, and you're willing to put up with me." 

Emily smirked.

"I don't know what those other guys did to you...but i can promise you...I'm not them." 

"But...how can I make sure?" she shrugged. 

Rocky leaned in and pressed his soft warm lips to her cheek, sending butterflies through her. Her eyes fluttered up at him in surprise. 

"Take your chances with me," Rocky pleaded. 

"I will," Emily nodded. 

Rocky's lips quicklly formed into a smile. And he wrapped his hands around Emily's waist. She smiled, wrapping her hands around his neck. They stood in each other's arms for minutes, until they finally had to part. 

"I'll call you," Rocky smiled. 

"Okay," she smiled back as she opened her door. She gave a small wave before closing it. Then Rocky headed for his car.
