Chapter #8Just walk away by: SimonLF   You start to walk away, deciding to leave the guy as fast as possible when suddenly "There it is, that's my purse"
You gulp, coming up towards you is both the cop AND the woman you stole the purse from. You're not sure the disguise is going to hold up but running away would make things worse (not that you'd go fast in these heels).
The cop seemed less certain "Now, now miss," it took a second to realise he was speaking to you. "Would you mind if we took a look at your bag?
You put on a shocked expression, trying to look like you were indignant at the thought. The woman spoke again.
"I'm telling you its my bag, I recognise the crease. I don't know where she got it but it's mine. Give it back."
"No its hers," it was the guy who asked you out, you'd forgotten he was still there.
"And who might you be?" asked the cop.
"Her boyfriend." Your heart leapt in your stomach, why was he doing this? "I got it for her for her birthday, I think it's a popular model. I can understand the confusion."
The woman halted, stunned. She looked back at you as if asking for confirmation and feeling the emotion she held back you simply nodded.
The cop wasn't quite ready to settle the matter just yet. "We've had a theft about an hour ago, some boy stole a purse and we've been looking for him. Do you know anything about...."
"We've been together all day," the guy interjected, "and no, we haven't seen anything like that."
By the stage, some of the guy's friends had come up and enthusiastically said how they'd all been together all day.
The cop nodded, and giving an apologetic expression to the woman, the two walked off.
You let out a breath you didn't know you'd been holding. You looked back at the guy and his friends and found they were all looking at you.
"Thank you," you said, keeping your voice high.
"You're welcome," he replied. "And I get it that you don't want to go out with me."
You take in a breath. You didn't want to, but after what he just did you felt you couldn't just leave him high and dry....
"Go out with him," one of his friends said.
"Yeah, he had your back, not easy to get a man like that." another friend piped up.
"Okay," you said, "Just one."
The guy burst into a wide smile. "Thank you, you won't regret it, I'm Terry by the way."
"Veronica," you blurt out, not sure where you go the name from.
"So Vera, where would you like to go?"  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
