The sirens wail, red and blue lights flashing, as cops move in to arrest Von. Heβs tense, hands slightly raised, ready for anything. Your heartβs racing, but you step forward, holding your ground.
βHe didnβt do nothing!β you shout firmly, staring the cops down.
One of the officers hesitates, glancing at Von and then back at you. Your eyes are steady, fearless, and protective. βMaβamβ¦ step back,β one says cautiously.
βI said he didnβt do anything,β you repeat, voice stronger this time. βLet him go.β
After a tense pause, the cops exchange looks, then nod, stepping aside. Vonβs shoulders relax, smirking at you as he comes toward you.
βDamnβ¦ shorty,β he mutters, voice low, a mix of teasing and gratitude. βYou really out here savinβ me in front of the cops?β
He pulls you into a quick hug, fingers brushing your hair, still smirking. βShitβ¦ I ainβt never letting you go. You fineβ
You roll your eyes, but canβt hide your smile. βYeahβ¦ somebodyβs gotta keep your ass outta trouble.β
Von leans his forehead against yours, smirking again. βWhats your name girl?"
