Scarlett

I stood in the kitchen with a frying pan in my hands waiting for the time to jump out and hit him in the head. I moved here last week and already there is someone breaking in. I looked next to me where the invention was sideways on the counter. I sighed. "I'm guessing it's because of the toy pistol." I kept staring at it and kept wondering what was so important with it that he had to break in. I kept hearing a lot of things breaking. I started getting annoyed. That dude better pay for the items he damaged. Suddenly I heard him. He was saying something.

"U-uhm listen sorry for breaking in but uh can you please come and help me? I got stuck between all these boxes, so please?" He said with a sad and sincere voice. I'm not really the kind to fall for these kinds of things but let's just say that I believed him. I walked slowly towards the man with the pan in my hands ready to attack if he tried to do anything. When I arrived at the living room I saw that he was indeed stuck between all the boxes. The boxes that I had stacked up had fallen down and some were on top of him. When he saw that I was holding a frying pan in my hand he started getting a bit nervous and scared. "H-hey, I told you I wont hurt you, so please put the pan down and help me out of here? It's really uncomfortable." He said.

I looked at him confused. Isn't he gonna tell me how he got stuck in the first place? If he wasn't going to tell me then I was gonna be the one asking him first.

"Wait, aren't you gonna tell me how you got stuck there in the first place?"

He smiled and looked at me with the sweetest eyes.

"Do you want to know how I got stuck here?" He asked, then moving his head and glaring at something behind me. When I looked behind and saw a broken plant vase on the floor I quickly understood what had happened. It seemed like he had gotten his foot stuck and fell while trying to get it off his foot and had broken the vase. I looked down at his foot and saw blood running down. I started getting worried. "Is your foot okay?" I asked worryingly. The only thing that went through my head was, why am I worried about a man that literally broke into my apartment?

As he looked up at me I started getting nervous. His beautiful blue eyes and his amazing hair. Half white and half blue. I was mesmerised. When he noticed me looking at him all amazed he started getting flustered.

"D-does it look alright to you..?" He asked as he looked away with a flustered face. The room was filled with silence for some minutes which felt like hours. After some minutes the silence broke when the man decided to talk.

"Are you gonna help me up?" He asked with his head down, but his eyes pointing at me.

"O-Oh right, yes!" I said as I got closer, reaching my hand out. When he took my hand I could feel butterflies in my stomach. My face started getting red. When he looked at me he noticed my flustered face.

"Oh god! Are you alright?" He asked with worry in his voice.

I shaked my head up and down to say yes. But if I'm being honest I wasn't. My heart was beating like crazy and my stomach was all tingly. I sat him down on the couch. "I'm gonna go and get the medical kit, so just stay here." I said then walking away. Behind me I could hear him saying: "It's not like I can go anywhere right now anyways."

I giggled to myself and then went into the kitchen where the kit was. I took it out and walked back into the living room to put the bandage on and try to stop the bleeding. I sat next to him and started talking. "Okay I am back with all the stuff that I need to help you. So now please give me your foot so I can clean it a little." I said with open arms. I put a cloth on my lap so he could place his foot there. The cloth would now be a bloody cloth, but hopefully I could wash it off later. He placed his foot on the cloth making a bit of the blood stain it. I took a tissue and started cleaning up the blood on his foot. It was quiet for a while, until I started talking. "What's your name?" I asked, still looking at the foot and cleaning it as gently as I could. "Onyx." He said while looking at his foot. "My name is Scarlett." I said while smiling. I continued to clean the blood off his foot. I then looked at him seriously and asked him: "You wanna tell me why you broke into my apartment?!" I asked with an angry voice. He looked down a bit and then looked away. "My invention. I want it back." He said. "I don't have it." I said clearly lying. He started getting a bit annoyed. "I know you have it, I saw you!" I then started getting annoyed too. I knew I wasn't being honest and he probably knew that too but I just needed to know what was so important with it that he needed to literally break in just to get it back.

"I don't have it, and what do you mean you saw me? How could you see me take it if you were too busy running from the cops?"

He got quiet. He didn't see me.

"Cat got your tongue?" I said. I continued to clean his foot and then took out the bandages to put on his foot. "Dont move, okay? This needs to be put on properly and hopefully I can do that." I tried putting on the bandage but when it touched the scars he flinched a bit. I sighed. "Please, stay still. You're making it a lot harder for me to help you."

"Sorry.." He said with a tone that actually made me feel bad for him. He stayed still for some time, and during that time I put on the bandage. I did notice him being in pain for a while when I put on the bandage. But it had to be done. "Your foot is not broken, that's for sure. But it is a bit hurt so be careful."

"Okay." He had a cold voice. It made me a bit annoyed for some reason. I should be the one with the cold voice, he is the one who broke into my apartment so why is he acting like I'm the one that did something!?

I stood up with annoyance and a bit of anger. "Listen, what is your problem!?" He looked up at me with confusion. "I'm sorry?"

Gosh, how dumb was this guy. "You're acting like I was the one who did something!" I said yelling at him. He looked at me apologetic and said: "Im sorry it wasn't really my intention, I was just.. Thinking about something."

For some reason I believed him. Maybe he was just `thinking about something`. I sighed. "No. im sorry, I guess I was just a bit annoyed by someone breaking into my apartment!"

He had a little smile on his face. "Sorry about that.." He seemed genuine, and kinda cute. Gosh. Why was my heart beating so fast? It felt like a billion butterflies were inside me, flying around. God damn.

"Whatever." I said, pretending that I wasn't flustered even though I was, and he must have noticed that too. Since he started smirking. "You alright? You seem quite red. Are you flustered from looking at my handsome face?" He said, closing his eyes and acting like a diva.

Some time went on with us talking. We talked like we had been friends for years. Even though we had known each other for some hours. But soon after we had to end that conversation since it was getting pretty late.

We were outside on my balcony saying bye. Until he mentioned:

"Hey! Wait a second! You still haven't given back my invention!"

I laughed. I couldn't believe he still remembered that. "Oh, right! Wait here just a second!" I went inside to get the invention for the kitchen counter and then went back outside. "Is this what you were looking for?" I said with a smirk on my face and after a second I started laughing. "Hah! I knew you had it! You liar!" I continued laughing.

"Oh no! Please don't put me in jail!" I said sarcastically and then started laughing again. "Ugh whatever. Give me it."

I handed the invention back into his hands and he was on his way. I saw him jump down from the apartment building and just as I thought he wouldn't make it, he did. That man certainly can never disappoint. Except when he is breaking into apartments and making a mess.
