True love waits

chapter 3: If at first you don't succeed...

"Congratulations you won a frog!" I said standing behind the carnival game.

Every year Mama's church has a carnival for the city, it's a pretty big thing, and everyone that is anyone is usually there, this year mama volunteered me to work a couple of hours at a couple of booths.

"How much?" I heard a voice in the crowd ask.

"Five dollars for every five balls, half the product will go to the Als association" I answered.

"Lou Gehrig's disease, right?"

"Yup that's it, their goal is to discover treatment and a cure for Als."

Stepping out of the crowd Noah said."Sounds like good cause, I'll buy fifty balls."

My eyes growing wide I reply."That's  one hundred dollars!"

Shrugging his shoulders Noah says."What can I say, I'm a giver especially when I like the cause!"

Slamming two fifty on the counter Noah demands. "Fifty balls please."

Rolling my eyes, I reach for the bucket. "Here you go sir!"

"Ma'am I don't think you're supposed to be rolling your eyes at your customers." Noah says.

Rolling my chocolate brown eyes once more I replied."Yeah, yeah, yeah, just throw your balls sir!"

Grabbing his chest Noah asked "Throw my what?"

Laughing as I rolled my eyes once more."Goooo!"

"Alright, alright, at least I made you laugh!"

"That wasn't a laugh!" I said folding my arms.

"Call it whatever you want sweet heart."

As Noah picked up his first ball some jerk cuts between Noah and the counter and hocks a big one and spits it at me, Noah was shocked, I was used to it I just picked up a paper towel and continued with what I was doing.

"Stupid Jeesabus!" The guy mumbles as he runs off.

Snapping his head back, shocked at how many people were okay with saying such hateful words, without an ounce of guilt, pointing in the direction the guy went with his thumb Noah asked."Do you want me to say something to him?"

"For what- its only going to make life harder for the both of us, just leave it alone!"

Throwing his hands up in surrender Noah says. "Fine."

As I watched him knock down each duck I roll my eyes, which only made him laugh. Finally, all out of balls I walk to the back and grab arm full of stuffed animals.

"Your stuffed animals SIR!" I barked as I dropped the stuffed animals infront of him.

Waving his hands with a sort of smirk on his face Noah says."No, thank you sweet heart, that was just for fun, keep the dolls."

Turning on the balls of his feet Noah walks away as I stood there almost annoyed.

"Five balls!" The next customer demands slapping five dollars on the counter.

Ignoring the customer as I watch Noah walk away."I said five balls!"

"Just a second!" I stated as I walked around the counter.

"Noah!"

Turning around with a closed smile Noah answers."Yes, sweet heart!"

"First off, my name is Scarlett, not sweet heart and why did you just do that!"

"Well Scarlett Elizabeth Prince, like I said before I liked the cause, but if you want to give me the money back that's fine, I'll take it back if you want."
