A/N: It's here! It's here, it's here it's here!!!! Hurray! Hope you like it this one is really cute! *Fangirl squee*

The next morning went by as I did the usual. Avoiding Rock. Feeding the cows. Avoiding Rock. Feeding the chickens. Oh and AVOIDING ROCK!!!

He's become so persistent lately. He waits outside of my house in the morning which is surprising, because I never knew he could get up that early. Then he would come to my house late at night if he wasn't interested in drinking.

But my annoyance with Rock was leveled out with my love for Skye. I was going to meet him tomorrow at the beach and every time I had to look at Rock's pathetic apologizing face all I had to do was to remind myself of that and I wouldn't give him a black eye. What's even more strange about him lately though is that he would walk everywhere with me. The boys all stared at us strangely and he glared or gloated with his face whenever he saw them.

When he glared at Merlin I smacked him hard in the head and yelled accusingly "Were not friends!" Merlin's face looked up. "So you lied again huh Rock?" He questioned. My mouth dropped and I stormed over to Merlin. He spun on his heels and started to walk away briskly until I caught up with him. I grabbed his collar and shook him a little. "What exactly did he say?" My eyes stormed and stared deeply into his scared ones. The red speckles I usually get when I was angry butted their way into my eyes and I allowed them hoping to strike some fear into Merlin.

"That you were fine. You weren't mad at him anymore and you still hate us." He squeaked out hoping that would satisfy me and that I wouldn't hurt him. It worked. I let go of his shirt shoving him a little but not enough to make him fall over. Rock scrambled from the dirt road and tried to escape on all fours, but it was too late. I kicked his sorry butt and sat on his back giving him a nugey. Then I shoved his face into the road and yelled "Eat dirt and say you're sorry!!"

A muffled sound came from the blonde head and I got up shoving it down forcefully one more time. I saw Cliff coming towards us with a questioning look intended for me. I walked up to him and put my arm around him yelling at the boys "For your information I like Cliff a whole lot more than any of the boys in the valley!" Cliff snickered and played along with me. I heard a large snapping sound and turned around looking at the mountain from where it had come from and saw a flash of something. I shrugged and turned my attention back to the guys.

Cliff put his arm around my waist and nodded in agreement with me. Another snapping sounded. Rock glared at Cliff from the ground and then looked at my face seeing the full anger. He stood up and dusted himself off. As he walked away I heard him mutter "No one… will have her…" I rolled my eyes and ignored him knowing I would never like him the way he liked me.

"Thanks for helping me out Cliff; those guys were being a jerk to me." I pulled my arm off his shoulder and he let go of my waist. "Sure thing. I had a hard time not breaking out in laughter though." We both laughed for a moment. "Though I will take up the position if you're offering." He commented. "Thanks but we should just be friends for now. I've already kind of have a…. boyfriend." I blushed using the word hoping Skye would think it was okay. "Kay, but save me a date in the future." He asked walking backwards away from me. "You know I actually will. You don't bother me like all of the other hopeless guys in the valley." I smiled at him and kissed his cheek. Another snapping sound.

"Okay what is that noise?" I asked and he shrugged. I turned to look at the mountain. "Bye Claire." He turned away from me and I looked back at him. He was cradling his cheek and his ears were red. I laughed quiet enough for him not to hear and continued with gathering my lumber.

Skye's POV

Making my next target I stood in the place I usually did. The whole overview of the valley folded out before me as I strategically target the unsuspecting villagers. I was about to pick Griffin's bar when I noticed the small farmhouse across from it. A chill went down my back. I don't know how I ever found it in my self-consciousness to continue my awful career. I felt bad for the fragile angel that had to love the thing she hated the most.

Speaking of the angel…. There she was. She was walking next to Rock and my knuckles turned white. He looked at every guy that passed and my angel had a questioning look on her face. After the guys passed by they would hang their heads and shuffle on. After Rock looked at the black-haired farmer Claire decked him. I laughed enjoying myself at his pain as he lay on the road.

She moved on to the farmer who I believed was named Merlin. She took a fistful of his shirt and shook him around as I erupted in laughter. I heard Merlin squeak out the words my angel wanted to hear and she released him. Rock scrambled on the road his face plain with fear and my angel launched herself at him. I sank to my knees holding my sides as I laughed silently not having enough air to make a sound. I wiped a tear off of my face as I heard her yell "Eat dirt and apologize!!" I broke into another fit of laughter almost falling from the mountain side. This girl would be the death of me one way or another.

I watched giddy as a brown-haired-pony tailed man came into the scene. She shoved the blonde head into the ground and walked towards the boy. She put an arm around his shoulder and my laughter broke short. I stared at them waiting to see how this played out. "I like Cliff more than any of the boys in the valley!" I heard her yell at them. I tried to control myself. Its fine she's not supposed to be with you any way. I told myself breaking a stick to calm myself.

He put his arm around my angel's waist. I broke the stick again. She has the freedom to be with anyone she wants to. I argued with myself. I still knew that I was gonna pound the boy. The idiots (Rock and Merlin) left and Cliff talked to my angel. She said "I've already kind of have a…. boyfriend" My face broke out into a pleasant smile. I knew she meant me…

She grabbed his shoulder and lifted her toes slightly off the ground kissing him softly on the cheek. Growling, I broke the stick yet again. I couldn't do this. While I continued to see her my emotions had a war with themselves. And the thief…. And her phobia… And the possibility that she could be happy with another man. I hated that last one although I knew it was the best for her. Gaahh! This was sooo confusing.

I focused on my job. I decided that the Villa was far enough away from her. I trotted back to my house to ready myself for another shameful night of work.

After filling my sack with their gold and silver wonders I found myself (once again) wondering my way onto her farm. I put the sack down by the entrance and walked up the steep hill.

I peered through the small windows and found her staring at the television she had up against the wall. Hmm… that's new… I thought. Great! I sound like a stalker… The news woman was on talking about something. The banner at the bottom of the screen read 'Thief ruins small family business.' I shuddered.

My angel turned the TV off and shuddered herself a little. I reached inside my pocket and pulled out the paper and pen I always carried around. I wrote:

My Dear Angel,

I love you so much and this breaks my heart, but unfortunately I cannot attend our date tomorrow. Something has come up but I swear that I will make it up to you somehow.

Your Boyfriend,

Skye.

He slipped it under her door and turned to leave. There was no way he could face her after she confessed her fears and he promised to protect her. So he would see her when he could. When his conscious didn't threaten himself… But he knew that would come soon. He would never be away from her long.

Almost to the entrance he felt someone tap his shoulder. He spun around surprise clear on his face. People didn't normally surprise him. The blonde-haired beauty stood before him. "Skye?" She was gripping his note in her pale hands. He stared at it for a moment. "I love you." Skye blurted out. "I love you so much… I love you…. I love you…" He repeated it over and over.

She took his hand and led him to the small dog house. She sat him down and sat in his lap. "I love you… I love you…" He kept repeating. He didn't know if he'd ever stop. Tears ran down his cheeks as he held her sitting on the dog house leaning against the wall.

"I love you too Skye. What's wrong?" She wiped away his tears. Just as he had done on the beach she comforted him. She kissed his cheeks and stroked his hair as he held her tight and buried himself into her chest. "Claire…Claire… Don't leave me Claire." He shook his head and tears continued to fall.

"Skye." she lifted his head. "Skye sweetie. I will never leave you." He looked in to her eyes puzzled at how she could still love him. He lifted his head and she lowered hers. Their lips grazed each others. "Claire… I love you my angel…" He whispered. Their lips connected and they kissed each other passionately for a few moments.

Their lips parted allowing them to breath. "Skye…" Claire's lips brushed up his nose and he brushed his lips down her neck. "I won't leave you if you don't leave me." The kissed some more until Skye insisted that Claire go to bed.

"I promise I will see you the day after tomorrow." Skye told her as he lingered by her bedroom door.

The last thing he did that night was return the sack that he'd stolen.

A/N: Well I liked it.... I thought that it was okay for their first kiss! So you can tell me what you thought! It's called *drum roll* The reveiw button!!! Hurray! No seriously click it.
