While Gun signaled for the car to start, Vick hung the man like a sack of potatoes over his shoulder and left the cafe.
-I'll take my break, boss- he said as he passed in front of Gun.
-I will report you, right now. For theft and abuse.
-Wait- with the camera in my hand review the photos, each and every one was of Kira, from behind, going to the bathroom, returning from the bathroom, drinking her hot chocolate, Kira looking out the window.
-I can't give you this, it's evidence of your crime.
-There is no crime.
-Yep, harassment to start.I know those stuff, I'm a police cadet- Vick smiled-.I should report you, but I'll let it go. Go away.
-I won't leave without my camera.
-You will- Vick nodded-, be smart, leave while I'm being nice.
-Give me my camera- the man tried to take him by the shoulder, Vick grabbed his wrist and turned it forcefully upward.The man's body twisted and he screamed.
-The time for kindness is over. If I see you here again we will serve a strawberry smoothie with your intestines, understood? - He pressed to make him understand the seriousness of the matter -.Good boy, now go - the man ran towards the parking lot.
Kira watched the scene from the car, and seeing his smile made her heart begin to pound.
It was Vick, the same boy he had met three years ago.
When the car finally started on the way to her apartment, she felt relieved.
The next day, she would sign the renewal of his contract with the company, and that afternoon, she had met with his manager to discuss the new terms.
She had a lot of things to think about, and, among all of it, there was Vick. He had recognized her.
Even with the change, even without seeing his full face, only one touch was necessary to know.
She looked at his hands. It was the same electricity as before, a light tingling that spread throughout her body.
-Lyra, we're here. Are you sure you don't want company?
-Yes- she smiled carefree-. You have a meeting. I'll be fine on my own, remember what we talked about today.
-I will, I'll call you when it's done.
-OK. Goodbye- she took his things and got out of the car.
Walking towards the entrance, before entering the code he turned around, waved his hand and the car drove away.
While waiting for the elevator she look for the keys in the shoulder bag.
The couple from the eleventh floor below the elevator laughing, when they saw her they smiled. Kira did the same and entered the elevator.
The keys jingled as he turned them in his door. She wanted to take a bath, be herself again, and organize her week.
When she tried to close the door couldn't do it.
A foot was getting in the way.
He jumped when he saw him: Vick was holding the door, sweat visible on his face and neck,he was out of breath.
-Hi.
