she stole my heart

gentle caresses

Emerald: you say you are fine but you have a burst lip

Charles: I know but it's the consequences of having a fight isn't it

Emerald: won't you treat it so it won't leave a scar

Charles:I can't treat myself Emmy

Emerald:if you don't then it would leave an ugly scar and ruin your handsome face

Charles: hmm I know right ,well would you treat it for me then

Emerald: okay sure

Charles:let's go back to the water fall now so I could rinse the blood off

Emerald: well are you sure you can paddle both of us there

Charles:“he bent to her level looking her in the eye smiling”Emmy I got into a fight not entering world war ok

Emerald: ok she smiled back

They paddled to the water falls

Emerald: I thought of asking why u always have a kit with you

Charles: well I'm a kid and I go out to play most times so mom thought it was a good idea to have it Incase I got hurt

Emerald :oh I see ,that's good

Charles: yeah

Emerald: okay so are u getting into the water or what

Charles:sure okay he goes to rinse of the blood stain

Emerald:sit down Charlie do you forget you are taller than me

Charles:oh sorry

Emerald: the kit too he hands her the kit taking the Cotton ball and the metholathed liquid and dabbs the face injury

Charles:be careful

Emerald: sorry I'm sorry okay

“Charlie lost himself in the facial beauty of emerald ,being so close to him he couldn't just help it but stare at her openly”

Emerald: Charlie , Charles why are you staring,do I have dirt on my

Charles:no you are just so pretty so I can't help staring Emmy “emmy smiled shyly ”

Emerald:thank you Charlie for the compliment

Charles:you deserve it Emmy I was just being a honest gentleman

Emerald:hmmm okay ,we better head back before the rain starts

Charles:yeah true but I enjoy the swell and wind of it so just a few minutes wonts hurt and besides I brought my bicycle so it won't catch up with us

Emerald: okay if you say so “she said in a low voice knowing she was afraid of the two things rain brought but she didn't dare tell him because most kids her age weren't affected by it only she was and it was pretty embarrassing to admit that to her new friend Charlie ”

*********************************

Few minutes later they were both on their way back to the play ground when the rain started to pour down almost like it was mad at something so Emmy and Charlie went to take cover under the cave close to the water fall

Charles:it's raining cats and dogs Emmy what do we do “he said but got no response from Emmy so he called her again check her up close to find out his little damsel was in tears ”

Emmy what's wrong why you crying

Emerald: I don't like the rain

Charles:oh I didn't know you didn't and I stupidly asked you to stay longer how could I be so selfish

Emerald:it wasn't your fault I didn't tell so you didn't know

Charles: Emmy I'm so sorry I don't know why I keep getting on you hurt

Emerald:okay but you weren't the one who made me scared of the rain now where you

Charles:no I didn't ,so what exactly are you afraid of

Emerald:if I tell you are going to mock me anyways and if I don't you would find out anyway she huffed

Charles: no Emmy why do you think I would mock you , everyone afraid of something so no matter how silly it is or sounds it's okay

Emerald: how do you know it might be silly

Charles:well since u are so embarrassed to say it I thought so

Emerald: well I'm scared of lightning and it's brother the thunder

Charles:oh well that's okay I mean it's looks like the light is out to get you isn't it

Emerald: yeah and the loud rambling noises freaks me out

Charles: yeah it startled me sometimes but don't worry you aren't alone now are you

Emerald:no I'm not

Charles: I'll be glad to be your hero like Clark Kent you know super man

So I'll block your ears when I notice the sound is about coming okay

Emerald: okay It would really help thanks Charlie
