Emmas POV:

We were about an hour into the carnival and we have been through more than ten games at least, Tyler was so hooked on buying me a stuffed animal and I honestly thought it was the most cheesiest, cutest thing ever. You would understand if you saw this rugged bad boy known as the schools biggest playboy, going from game to game, frustratedly trying to win you a $5 stuffed toy.

The thought brought a smile to my face as I watched him standing in front of the basketball game, waiting for the basketballs to appear in front of him.

"Tyler you know half of these games are rigged, you don't have to keep at this, just you doing it is sweet enough..."

He glanced back at me "All those others were just a warm up, I'm telling you beautiful, I got this one."

I couldn't help the amused smile spread across my face and mumbled "That's what you said at the last four games..."

"I heard that!" He shouted before I heard a bell go off and the basketball come tumbling down to him.

I suppressed a giggle and watched as he grabbed each ball taking shot after shot, and I was truly impressed, he was making ever single one. I don't know why I was so impressed he is extremely athletic and plays football, I just didn't think basketball was his thing.

Tyler shouting suddenly awoke me from my daze "Yes baby!!" He laughed and ran up to me grabbing me by the waist and spinning me around.

His excitement caused me to giggle and shout "Tyler put me down!"

He smirked and stopped spinning me, pointing his head towards the booth where he was just playing "Go pick whatever you want."

I gasped with a smile "You actually won?"

He grabbed me hand, leading me over to the booth"You sound shocked, It hurts baby girl." he held his chest, feigning hurt, before smiling down at me and wrapping his arms around me from behind.

The small gesture had butterflies swarming in my stomach and heat rising up to my cheeks. I felt precious to him and for once safe. He nodded his head towards the stuffed animals hanging at the booth in front of me.

"Pick." he said before resting his chin on my shoulder.

I bit my lower lip looking at the stuffed animals in front of me, they ranged from smaller to bigger and there were crocodiles, monkeys, bears, and lobsters. Upon seeing the red lobster hanging to my right I gasped "Oh can I get the lobster?!"

I felt Tyler move his chin from my shoulder and I knew he was looking down at me, I looked up and saw a confused smile on his face "Really?"

"Yes!" I nodded with a hint of blush.

"The lobster it is then." he said with a chuckle before telling the man in the booth what I wanted and luckily the medium sized lobster was one of the choices I was allowed to choose from.

After receiving my much awaited prize, Tyler wraps his hand around mine and pulls me close to him letting his warm breath fan my ear "Don't say I never gave you anything."

I shivered slightly from the effect of him being so close, his thumb was rubbing soft circles across the top of my hand, while his lips grazed my ear lightly.

I smiled and nudged him gently with my elbow "Alright casanova, moving on..." I said playfully.

He let out a light laugh and began walking with my hand still in his as I followed. There was a small silence that swept through us but it only lasted a couple minutes before Tyler spoke up.
