Super mega date disaster

Emma's POV

Me and Troy were laughing at nothing and I loved it. We were relaxed and I felt like nothing could hurt us in those few moments. Unfortunately, like all good things, it ended too soon; Gia came over to us saying how she was going to head home as her mum had texted her.

"Ok but before you go give me the present. I'll finish it for you." I said with obvious hints as to what I would be doing with it. She looked at Troy before looking back to me and nervously handing the back with the ball in to me. I couldn't help but looking at Troy as she did as she honestly looked like we were monsters or something. We again broke into laughter before we too decided to leave still nudging each other as we went.

We decided to head straight to the meeting place to get the ball signed ASAP and returned to Gia so she could have it for Valentine's. Turns out Troy had arranged for the meet up to be at our old milk bottle training area so we strolled to the forest chatting all the way.

Once we got there I was surprised to see a young man completely our obstacle course with relative ease. Granted he didn't have a blindfold on and he wasn't exactly perfect, you could see him working up a sweat but he wasn't exactly hopeless at it.

We watched in aw for a few minutes until he noticed us whilst doing a black flip dismounting from the balance beam. "Hey Troy, what took you so long?" He asked cheerfully and slightly out of breath, how long had he been training?

"Hey Max, long time no see." Troy said lightly skipping to his old friend. They clasped hands as patted each other's backs in what boys call a hug. I giggled slightly at their greeting; they haven't seen each other for years and they act like it's been a day. If it were me I'd be squealing and talking and acting all girly, but these two just act as tho it's been no time at all. It's sweet when you think about it.

My giggle seemed to have attracted their attention as they both turned to look at me.

"And who might this gorgeous young lady be?" Max asked in a flirtatious tone as he sauntered per to me. He took my hand and placed a delicate kiss upon it, bowing as he did like they did in ye olden days. I couldn't stop another giggle from escaping me.

"I'm Emma, it's a pleasure to meet you" I said with a slight hint of flirtyness just to play with him.

"Why Troy, you didn't tell me you had such a lovely girlfriend." He said very playfully as he turned to Troy and let go of my hand.

"Oh we're not a couple" I blurted out 'though as soon as I said it I was immediately brought back to me and Troy on the beach and everything that happened and OMG I wish i was his girlfriend!

I looked at Troy who seemed slightly hurt by my words but they were technically true. I again couldn't hide my feelings and my face became even more hurt that I had noticed I was showing. Luckily Max came to rescue the situation by braking the silence after what felt like an eternity.

"Well then, would a lovely lady like yourself have room in her heart to love another such as myself? Perhaps you could decide over a fancy meal?" He said sarcasm and cheesy flirting dripping from his voice.

"No thank you, I'm afraid you aren't quite my type." I said trying to let him down easily like Gia did back in school. And on that note, I remembered why we were here.

Max did a fake, overly dramatic sad face but quickly changed the subject.

"So Troy, you said something about me being able to help with the best Valentine's Day gift of all time?"

"Yeah, our best friends Gia and Jake are finally together and Gia wanted to give Jake the best Valentine's Day gift possible and a football signed by his favourite player, as well as best of all time, would be the perfect gift. We already have a ball but we were wondering if you would be able to help." Troy was really good at stroking his friends obviously growing ego.

"This is them" I showed him a photo on my phone which I was planning on printing and framing for them at a later date. I also took out the ball which he held for a few seconds to test it out. Max then looked at the photo and smiled.

"Ok" he said after a while. "But I can do one better than just a football."

Troy and I shared a look. What could he possibly be talking about?

"Tell your friends they both got a kick about with a professional football player." He proclaimed as he stood back arms folded with the smuggest look I'd ever seen.

Troy's POV

I don't know who's jaw dropped lover mine or Emma's. I knew max was a bit crazy at times but this was mad.

"No Max. I can't ask you to do that."

"Your not asking. I'm telling you what I'm going to do. Besides I've got nothing to do all week and it'll be fun" he said.

When Max got an idea, he didn't stop. This would be interesting.
