A New Chance

Chapter 6

I'm standing by a pond near my grandmas house. I look at the time and Killian should be at the house. I am too scared to go with him. I know he helped us get out of jail but I can't open myself up again. That's why I act cold with him, I want him to hate me.

20 minutes pass and my phone goes off, it was my grandma I sent it to voicemail. That's when I hear footsteps behind me. I turn around and it's Killian. I scoff. "Go away." He walks up to me. "What's wrong?" I stayed quiet. "Emma." I sigh. "Why don't you just leave...." He sighs then stands in front of me.

"Emma why are you acting like this?" I chuckle. "This is how I am, if you don't like it bug off." He sighs. "Emma..." I sigh and look away. "Go away." He nods. "I'm sorry for making you feel uncomfortable, I will not bother you again." He then grabs my hand and kisses it.

"Have a nice evening Emma." He then walks away. I stare at my hand and I close my eyes. I sigh and turned around. "Killian!" I scream out. He stops and turns around. I run up to him and sigh. "I'm sorry Killian." He nods.

"I'm just...." He nods. "I'm not pressuring you or anything Emma, just give me a chance to show you how love really is." I smile. "I would like that." He smiles. "So how about we go on that date?" I laugh. "Let's go." He looks at his watch and gasps. "Umm slight problem we missed our reservation." I sigh. "I'm sorry it's all my fault." He smiles.

"I have an idea in mind, do you trust me?" I nod. "Let's go." I smile and nod. We walked over to his car and got in. After 15 minutes we arrived to the state fair. "I know it's not what you're used to, but..." I smile. "I said I trust you so..." He smiles. We get off and walked in.

As soon as I walked in memories of when I was a little girl playing here flooded my mind. I sighed. Killian gives me a concerned look. "Emma are you ok?" I nod. "Just nostalgia." He smiles. "Well how about we make new memories." I nod.

We walk in and went on many rides and played a lot of games. I was having so much fun, I honestly felt like a little kid again. I had gone to sit down on one of the picnic tables as Killian went to buy food. He comes with different things and places them on the table.

"I know it's not caviar..." I scoff and grabbed a corn dog. "Who said I liked caviar?" He laughed. We started to eat and just smiled at each other. My stomach did hurt a bit because it had been a while since I've eaten that but I was sure enjoying it. That's when I see fried pickles.

"Are you kidding me, fried pickles?" He laughs. "What you haven't tried them?" I shake my head. "That's disgusting." He laughs. "You can't say it's disgusting until after you try it." I shake my head. "You will not make me eat it Mr. Jones." He lifts his eyebrow. "Is that a challenge?" I grin.

"Maybe." He smiles. "It's on." I laugh. That's when we hear someone scream. We both get up and run towards the person. That's when I see a woman kneeling over a man that was laying on the ground. "Someone get me a doctor, my husband is not breathing." Killian kneels down.

"I'm a paramedic." She smiles. "Can you Please help him?" The woman asks with tears in her eyes. Killian nods. I stand by Killian side as he starts to check the man. "What exactly happened?" The woman starts to tell him everything as Killian checks his neck and everything.

"Love can you go get me a steril knife in one of the stands?" I run towards one of the food stands and ask for the knife and something to sterilize it with. That's when it hit me that he called me love. Why did he call me that? That's when they give me a knife then a bunch of disinfecting wipes. I run towards Killian and he starts to perform a procedure. Once he's done the man starts to breathe.

I smile. Killian just saved a mans life. That's when I see paramedics arrive on the scene. The paramedics come and take him away. The woman walks up to the both of us and hugs us. "Thank you so much for saving my husband." Killian nods.

"Dear, your husband is amazing you are sure blessed." She walks away leaving the both of us standing awkwardly there. I look at my ring and take it off. Killian chuckles. "Sorry about that comment and for calling you love." I smile as I throw my ring away.

"I don't mind it at all." He smiles. "Good job Mr Jones, you just saved a mans life." He smiles. "That I did." He smiles. "How about we get out of here?" I nod. We leave and he drove me back to my grandmas house. We got off and walked up to the door. "Thanks for today." He smiles.

"Hope you had a good evening." I smiled. "I did, it was awesome even though I was a jerk earlier this evening." He smiles. "I think you're going to have to make it up to me by eating those fried pickles." I shake my head. "How about I make it up to you by doing this..." He stood there and I kissed him.

I could sense he didn't expect it but in a matter of seconds he kissed me back. He caresses my cheek as he's kissing me. The door opens and my grandma smiles. "About damn time y'all kiss." We let go and I give her a death glare. "Grandma, seriously?" She smiles. "What?" Killian smiles. "I'll see you around Emma." I nod. He then goes and gives me a kiss on the cheek.

"Good night," he says to both of us and walks away. I walk in and my grandma closes the door. "Man if I hadn't open the door you would have probably eaten him by now, if you know what I mean." I give her a glare. "Grandma!" She laughs as she sits down on the couch.

"I love messing with you." I shake my head as I walk to the bathroom. "I'm so happy I sent Killian to the pond." I gasp. "You sent him?" She smiles and nods. "Grandmas are never wrong." I laugh as I walk into the bathroom. Maybe now is my time to give Love a new chance, and I think Killian will help me out with that.
