Until the men tugged the shirt of the little boy and with a sharp voice said: "Do I have to repeat myself? Did you steel this bag from this girl?"

My gaze was now also on the little kid focused, but when I saw the terrified look on his face, I felt guilty. This men doesn't need to be to harsh to this little guy, I just wanted my bag back.

Before I could further think, my mouth just opened and I rambled: "Ah... You know, ... It's okay, really. Someone stole my bag and this little guy here just was about to return it, am I right?" My gaze was now on the little kid.
Eagerly his little head nodded.

After I saw this, a small smile was on my lips and I turned my intention back to mysterious guy. Yeah I gave him a nickname, what's the problem?!
But when I Sam his frowning, angry face, I stopped with all my self-talking and arched an eyebrow.
"W-wha-at..?", I asked unsure.
And back is the shyness., I thought sarcastically, angry about myself. The shyness was always a huge problem in my boring life.
I couldn't even say a plain thank you. to our postman without slightly stuttering and I doesn't even consider him anymore as a stranger. I mean I knew him for over 15 years now, you would think I got used to it, but nope.

Anyway, the mysterious guy gave a little grunt from him -which was actually really sexy, no what am I saying here?- before he answered in a sarcastic tone. "Well it didn't look like that just 2 minutes ago."
Shut, he was right! I totally forgot about the fact, that I just screamed a few minutes ago "Hey, stop don't move! Give me my bag back!" What should I say now? I don't want that this little kid get in trouble..

" C-could you pleas-se ... just let-t him g-go, I ... mean I ca-an handle thi-is situation ... on my ow-wn." I brought out finally. Probably wasn't the cleverest idea, but then again my mum always told me not to lie and to tell the truth. It wasn't really the truth, I was telling, but at least I wasn't lying, and that's what matters, right?!

Without paying any attention to me anymore, the mysterious guy turned towards the little kid and said with an scary tone. "Give now the bag back to this girl and apologize. I don't know why she's helping you, but if I should catch you again, stealing something I will put you behind steel grids and there you watch you starve to death. Did I make myself clear?"

A little shudder ran down my back by his words and a horrified expression was on my face. Did this guy not see, that there was a little kid in front of him? How could he say so cruel words in front of this little guy, I'm pretty sure this kid will now have nightmares.
Without him needing to repeat anything, the little kid nodded his head with big scared eyes. When mysterious guy let slowly go of the little kid, he walks over to where I stand and gives with a shaky hand my bag back to me.

"I'm sorry, miss.", said the little kid in a quiet tone. For a couple of seconds I was really surprised, his tone let you hear clearly out the regret. Instantly my heart gutted at his sight and I took my bag and without thinking, I did the first impulse out from my heart.

When I gave the little kid 50£ his eyes and also, even if I didn't really payed attention to him, mysterious guy's eyes widened. Before anyone could even react, the small arms from the little kid where tightly wrapped around my hip and a really quiet -so that I wasn't even quiet sure if he did said it - "thank you." was heard and then he was gone. All of a sudden.
Huh, I thought and turned around, looking for this little kid. But he was nowhere to be seen. A frustrated sigh lead my attention back to the mysterious guy.

"You do know that you just helped a thief? Actually I should now arrest you."
Was he being seriously right now? It was a little kid, who was plain hungry. I just wanted to help.
"And do you know that it is not unlawful to help people in need? You can surely arrest me, but I still don't think I did something bad.", I angrily fought back.
"Or the kid will right now buy new weed with the 50£ you gave him. Did you even considered that as an opportunity?" The eyes from mysterious guy got into slits. His veins on the neck were standing out, a clear sign, that he was angry.
Well he's not the only one!, I thought.
I don't know why, but this guy makes me angry. And that doesn't happen often, I can tell you!

"Arg, do you always have to see the negative in people?" I asked. I didn't even realized, that my stuttering wasn't there anymore. All I could just think of was of how angry this guy makes me.
"And do you have to see always the positive in everybody? It's not like a stupid book, where everyone is happy and good, this is the reality, sweetheart. Wake up!"
By now mysterious guy stepped even closer to me and even if I tried to ignore it, his words stung.
"Whatever...", I murmured, turned around and left.

What an arrogant prick, I thought to myself. I do know the reality, I had it already often seen in my job, but that wasn't a reason to just see the negative in people.

But whatever. I will not let my first day be ruined by a stupid, egoistic, hot guy, who... What, hot?? Ok, stop it right now. From now on no thoughts of this beautiful.. Arg!!!

And with that conversation in my head I went back to my apartment.
