Love you, Paris

🌀Aquamarine🌀

There he is again. Sitting in the cafeteria and listening to others conservationis while eating. Quietly. And thinking. But now he's thinking about her again. How he should meet her, visit her, thank her.

Armin moves his spoon around the plate and looking pretty thoughtfully into it while resting his face on his hand. Suddenly he stands up pretty fast and grabs his things. Carly and her friends look confused at him.
"Armin? Where do you go?"
"I... I got to finish something. Don't wait for me today evening, okay?"
"Oh...alright. See you then."

Armin leaves the cafeteria completely.
"What a strange guy. How can you even live with him?", asks a huge guy named Jerome.
"Shut up, he's tge nicest guy I know. And a very good friend too" she answers and goes on eating her meal.

Meanwhile Armin walks around the city, looking into windows of different stores. You are right. He's looking for something he could get her,, that woman. What was her name again? Oh yes, it was Annie. What an innocent name for a woman like her. Maybe that compensates her Charakter...

Parfume? Something to eat? What would she even like? What if she won't take anything he gives her? He still needs something... Armin walks around the stores and sighs slightly as he still got no idea. He doesn't have a clue what woman like her might like. Maybe he should just... Oh he got it! He's going to give her a few flours and some coupons for relaxation. No woman would hate such a present.
Armin immadiately gets everything he needs and leaves the mall. On his way to the police station he chews his lips as he thinks about what he should say to her. "Hello Ms. Leonhardt. I came...no. I wanted ...no, wanted sounds like I don't want it anymore. Maybe...I am here to apologize for...wait what? Apologize? Didn't I plan to thank her? Maybe I should still apologize for bothering her", he says to himself and nearly enters the police office. As he walks through the door he makes eye contact with the secretary who looks pretty serious at him.
"Hey you, hold on!", shouts the secretary and looks after Armin who tried passing this corridor in a fast way. He turns around and smiles slightly. "H-Hello... I have to meet Madame Leonhardt. Can you tell me, where I can find her?", asks Armin in a slightly nervous way. The secretary raises an eyebrow. "Do you have an appointment with her? What's your name?".
"Um... Arlert, Sir. But... I didnt organize an appointment".
"The secretary breaths sharply in and crosses his arms while looking seriously into Armins clear blue eyes.
"No appointment, no way. Have a nice day."
Armin sighs and turns away but as he's about to leave he hears that the secretary is talking on the phone with someone who had an appointment right now but can't come. As the call is finished he runs back to the man and looks at him with big eyes.
" Can I have an appointment right now with madame Leonhardt?".
".... Fine", sighs the man and let's Armin walk over the border in the corridor.

Only a view steps left.
10. 9. 8. 7. 6. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1.....
Taking the door.
Breathing deeply in.
Knocking.
Waiting.
There! Her pretty dangerous voice telling Armin to walk in! He takes a deep breath and opens the door.
As he walks in she slowly turns around, holding a cup of coffee which scent spreads through the whole room. But as she recognises Armin, she nearly coughs and looks pretty confused while leaning against her table. Armin gulbs as he sees her again. His heart is racing, body freezing, hands sweating. And her eyes...more than just scanning him.
"Didn't expect you coming here again, Arlert".
"... And I didn't expect you remembering my name ", he replies to her. Oh no. Again that view on her face. Raising an eyebrow and scanning his body and having something in mind what he unfortunately or luckily can't read. She takes a deep breath and looks very serious but also interested at him."So... What do you want?". Armin looks a while at her as he tries collecting himself by her being. He breaths in and walks a few steps closer towards her, making her cross her arms even more firmly.
"Madame Leonhardt... I-I am here to thank you for saving me the last time. Thanks to you the truth came up and I don't have to sit in jail now. That's why I got some things for you. I hope you like it", he says in a nervous but gentle way.
Oh no.
She does that again.
That face.
Pure confusion.
But why? Was that the first time someone thanked her for something?
Suddenly she takes the flowers what makes Armin smile inside himself. But as she walks towards the trashcan and throws his presents into it even his face expression changes. She turns to him and looks pretty annoyed.
Oh hell.
That ice in her eyes.
"I just did my job, nothing more. So don't feel special. That wasn't a big deal".
"Well... Maybe to you, but to me it means mu-..."
All of a sudden she grabs his collar again, making him shut his mouth by her handpalm. Her eyes...feel like they are looking right into his soul. Damn, that's fire.
"I have just told you. I just did my job. No need to thank me, did you get it? And now leave finally. I got much work to do, so stop bothering me ".
Armin nods slowly at her so she let's him go. He breaths a little faster but he's fine. That woman. Wow.

Armin keeps watching her getting to work again. He even smiles although she made him feel really bad by throwing away his presences. But suddenly she stands up, throws books after him, so he MUST leave. That's exactly what happens next. He runs out the room and leans against the door, breathing very deeply. But then he starts smirking.

"She must like me...".
