Battling for a Man's Heart

Chapter 1: A Lie

Why did I let him come along? I should have yelled at him till he ran back to his game. When he pulled me out of that NesQuik trap, he looked heroic. He was tough to let me hit him and then after I ditched him, he wasn't angry at all. The look he gave me full of joy and hope. What an annoying, goo-goo eyed, pansy, little twerp. I shouldn't have done that. I was never supposed to feel anything again. Yet, that kiss oh why did I kiss him? When he kissed my cheek I should have pounded him, kicked him, make him wish he never was coded. Instead I glared at him but gave him a sly smile and kissed him back. Now I have to do the hardest thing ever, break his heart.

Normal P.O.V

Tamora Calhoun was in her office, remembering her time with Fix-It Felix Jr. He was a half pint of a hero that wormed his way into her heart. She wanted to hate him but every time she looked at him, it was like back when she was in the NesQuik sand. His eyes turned serious as he held onto her trying to save them both. It may have been her imagination but she could have sworn he was glowing in light. She remembered looking at him as he smiled proudly at her. For the first time in her life her heart began to beat again. Yet it always went back to that kiss, that mod dang kiss. If only she slapped him or made him regret it. Instead she kissed his lips and enjoyed every second of it. Only now she realized what she had done.

Felix was such a nice guy. A girl like her had no business being with him. She was so cold, calculating, and had too many issues. He was sweet, kind, thoughtful, and most of all patient. No way did she deserve a guy like him. Sooner or later she would get him killed if he got too close and not even his hammer would be able to save him. Then she would lose him like she did Brad only this would be real and then once Felix was gone, a whole game would be destroyed and it would be her fault. Tamora knew she had no choice but to tell Felix a lie so they both wouldn't be harmed. A tiny knock was heard and she knew who it was. "Enter!" she shouted.

The door opened and a man that barely came to her hip entered the room. His hair was brown with the prettiest shade of blue eyes. A small ball cap was on his head and he wore a blue handyman's out fit and a golden hammer was on his tool belt. "Hello ma'am I got your note," he said.

"Thank you for coming Fix-It, I will make this quick so not to waste any of your time," she said standing up.

"You never wasted my time ma'am," Felix said firmly. The look he gave her was the same look he had on his face when he pulled her out of the NesQuik sand. She stood there unable to move her mouth remembering that moment. Snap out of it Calhoun, you know what you have to do, her mind scolded her.

"Anyway, I wanted to thank you for your service in helping me. I wanted to apologize about three things. Now understand I am not good with apologies for in my mind I never had to say sorry or admit I was wrong. Yet, I did do wrong one for hitting you even though you allowed it and it did help us escape I still feel bad for doing it," she began her face firm and serious.

"It is fine ma'am I accept your apology but you have nothing to apologize for," Felix told her.

"Yes, well allow me to continue," Tamora said trying to regain her composure. Man why does he have to be so mod forgiving? She asked herself. "The second thing was for abandoning you after my um "episode" I need to explain, the name you called me was the name my ex-fiancee called me. He was eaten by a Cy-Bug on the day of our wedding," she explained a tear threatening to fall.

"I am so sorry ma'am I feel like such a cad. No wonder you were so cross with me you can slap me again if you like?" Felix said his face full of concern. You eight-bit idiot, how could you call her that. Why couldn't you call her amazing or wonderful? But all no, you had to call her dynamite gal, you are so stupid, Felix's mind told him crossly.

"Easy, short stack it is not like you knew," she told him gently. She wanted to place her hands on his shoulders but she was afraid if she got too close that dang emotion would come over her. Then she would end up hugging him and not wanting to let go. Or worse kiss him again and she really wanted to do that more than anything. "Finally, after we defeated the enemy we well I did something," she began her throat going dry.

"Oh um you mean the kiss?" Felix asked the honey glows all over his face. He was looking so cute right now giving her the exact same look he had when he kissed her cheek. She was fighting her urge to kiss him again but mod it he was not making it easy.

"Yes, about the kiss," she began, but before she could finish he took off his hat and spoke again.

"I am truly sorry ma'am I was just so happy everyone was okay. I saw you and I jumped I meant to hug you are maybe give you what your men call a high five. Yet my lips reacted before I did and I kissed your cheek. I am so sorry I was a cad and then you kissed me back, clearly you were caught up in the moment as your men would say right?" he asked her.

Tamora was shocked she was about to make up some lie and here he was saving her the trouble, by apologizing for kissing her. "Um yes, that is exactly what I was going to say. I wanted to apologize if I mislead you, you are a good man Fix-It but I just see you as a comrade or in your game a good friend. If I hurt you I am sorry," she said softly but firmly.

"It is fine ma'am I understand completely. I would love to be your friend, and if you need anything, just let me know and I will help with whatever it is," Felix told her smiling a small smile.

"Thank you and I appreciate that, but call me Tamora since we are friends," she told him.

"Of course and call me Felix ma'am I mean Tamora," he said gently. "Well I better go it is getting late and I have a busy day tomorrow. Maybe we could meet later at Tappers tomorrow night. It would give you a chance to relax," Felix said.

"I will think about it," Tamora told him smiling a bit. Yet on the inside whatever was left of her heart was slowly breaking. She watched him leave and it took every bit of will power she had not to go after him.

Felix walked back to his game in deep thought. You see it was an accident that she kissed you. You are just a scrawny handy man that she saw as a friend. She never fell in love with you and she never would fall in love with you. You were a fool to think otherwise for you don't deserve to even look at her. She is a tough, strong, smart, beautiful warrior who deals with death and laughs in it's face. You are just a handyman that fixes things with a hammer and is easily killed by ducks. You would never be good enough for her. When Felix got that note he was hoping beyond hope that Tamora would tell him that she liked the kiss. That maybe, just maybe she wanted to be his girl, or at least go on one date with him. Wishful thinking for once he told her that he didn't mean to kiss her for he really didn't mean too. He was hoping once he said she only kissed him for she was caught in the moment that she would deny it. She would say that she wanted to kiss him and enjoyed it. Sadly, he was right and slowly headed home. "At least she agreed to be my friend," Felix said softly. "I should be grateful for that," he added.

"Hello Hero, why the long face?" asked a voice.

"Hero? No one has called me Hero since," Felix began to say as he slowly turned around. Standing behind him was a woman about three inches shorter than Tamora but had the same build. Her hair was blonde yet was longer. Still like Tamora a few strands went over her eyes. Speaking of her eyes they were crystal blue. The woman wore a tight vest that exposed her belly yet she wore a white shirt. On the vest was a police badge, her pants were tight leather, and she wore boots. Her skin was a light tan and her hands wore gloves. The woman held her blonde hair in a ponytail and around her waist was a gun. She placed one hand on her hip and smiled at Felix. "Sonya?" Felix said in disbelief.

"Hey Hero, long time no see," Sonya said smiling and Felix felt himself smile back.
