How To Steal A Heart // Neco Williams

Chapter 10

"Aunt Emmy, Aunt Emmy. Wake up." Emily awoke to the sound of her nephew's voice and he jumped up and down on her bed. Trying to saviour the last few moments of freedom she had, the brunette girl cuddled into the chest of the footballer who as laid next to her.

"You can't ignore him forever." Neco spoke as he placed a kiss on the top of her head and leant his head against hers.

"I know but let's just lay here for one more minute." Emily said as she wrapped her arms tightly around his toned, bare chest.

"Neco, Emily come onnn." Rocco dragged out as he sat down in the empty space on Emily's side of the bed as she laid cuddled up with the Welsh boy.

"We're coming buddy. Go downstairs and we'll be down in a minute." Neco informed the little boy as he lifted his head slightly of the pillow and made eye contact with his teammate's son.

"Fine." Rocco replied before standing up and disappearing out the door. Once the three year old closed the door behind him, Emily started to sit up.

"Okay how did you do that? I can never get him to leave my room if I'm not out of bed. He doesn't believe that I'll actually get up if he doesn't watch me do it." Emily explained as she leant against her elbow looking down on the footballer.

"Guess I just have the magic touch." He answered with his cheeky smile written across his face.

"I guess you do." The brunette replied before leaning down and placing a kiss on his lips.

"Can I ask you something?" Neco questioned as he sat up in Emily's bed and rested his back against the headboard behind him.

"Of course. Should I be worried?" Emily spoke as she sat up in the bed and crossed her legs.

'No." He assured her while nervously laughing. This was probably the first time Emily had ever seen him so nervous and not full of confidence.

"Come on. You know you can ask me anything." The brown haired girl promised him as she took his hand in her own.

"I don't know if you're gonna this is way to soon or what but I'm just gonna say it anyway. I love spending time with you Em. I've never felt like this before in my life. My mom tells me she didn't know I had dimples until I met you. I guess what I'm trying to say is, Emily Robertson. Will you be my girlfriend?" Neco asked as he looked down at their hands that were still connect. He was afraid that if he looked her in the eye, his words would become real and she would say no.

"Neco." She whispered using her hand to lift his head up so his eyes met hers. She moved over slightly so she was closer to him. She placed her hands on either side of his face and used them to connect their lips together.

"Is that a no kiss or a yes kiss?" He questioned as the kiss ended.

"That was definitely a yes kiss." Emily promised with a smile.

"Good because you have no idea how nervous I was to ask you that." The footballer informed her. Before either of them could say anything else a voice called out from downstairs.

"Aunt Emmy. Come onnn." Rocco yelled out. The boy may have only been three but his voice could be heard throughout the entire house.
