I love you, Milo Chapter 1
It happened again. The cops found evidence of the break-in I did a couple of days ago and are now standing right on my doorstep. Ding dong. "Well I guess it's that time of the month again". Sighing, I opened the door, only to have 2 policemen tackle me to the ground and handcuff me. "Metro city police, we are arresting you for over 50 break-ins and robberies you committed. You have the right to remained silent". If he said anything else I wasn't listening, my mind drifted off to that nice prison cell they'll stick me in. You're probably wondering who I am. Well my name is Valyna Skywing, I know weird name, and I'm Metro city's number 1 thief extraordinaire. My record is 5 break-ins in a month without being caught. I would have broken it if the cops weren't here. I have brown hair with blue highlights that reaches my mid-back. I have deep blue eyes and faintly tanned skin. I usually wear black tank-tops, camo shorts and black boots that reach below my knee. Being the idiot I am I decided to wear a dress, I have no idea why, and stiletto heels. I just felt like a change. Yeah it will be a nice change going to prison. I'm also very good at lying; I think it will be difficult lying about the break-in during a break-in.how do I get myself into these things, and why the hell did I wear a dress during a break-in? Before I could answer that question, the police dragged me to the front gates of the prison. That was quick; I don't even remember getting in the car. From my current position, I saw my brother playing a game of cards. I shouted hello and he looked up. He must not smile a lot because everyone looked confused when he gave me a massive smile and a wave. It was good to see him again, he was the one who taught me everything I know, apparently how to get caught aswell. You see, when I was young I tried everything to be good and fit-in. No matter how hard I tried, I was always in trouble and picked-on. One night, my brother saw me crying and asked what was wrong. When I told him he laughed, "You want to know why you're always in trouble Val? It's because you weren't supposed to be good. If I taught you how to steal, I bet you'd be brilliant. What do you say?" I agreed and I soon became a master of theft. The prison guards brought me to one of the jail cells and literally threw me in. My back connected to the wall and I collapsed to the ground. "You'll stay in here for the rest of the day; you can go to 'the pit' tomorrow". With that said, they were gone. The cell was nothing special: a bed, window, toilet and surprisingly a chair and table. This must be the luxury suite. When I looked through the window, there was nothing but miles of open road and 'the pit'. When I turned around I almost screamed. There was a blue man, with some sort of fish, staring at me through the bars of the opposite cell. "Never seen you before" he said, giving me a one-over before looking at me with those eyes. Those deep forest green eyes showing nothing but pain and rejection. That makes 2 of us, but I must admit he looks kinda cute. Smiling at him I replied "I just came here, my name's Valyna, but you can call me Val, and yours?" He stared at me before he spoke "Everyone around here just calls me 'the Thing' " he said suddenly sadden by his name. " Well they shouldn't, everyone deserves a proper name. I'll call you...Milo" I said, giving him the most beautiful smile he'd ever seen.
Milo's POV
Seeing her smile gave him butterflies. I've only just met her and I'm falling for her over a name. What's wrong with me? I stopped day dreaming long enough to see her looking curiously at me. "Are you ok? You've been staring at me for 3 minutes". When the words left her mouth I couldn't stop stuttering."Have I-I mean-its because-I-I think" I sighed, but what caught me off guard was her laughing, her laugh was music to my ears. Just then 2 guards can by and unlocked our cells "you're allowed in the pit for a couple of hours, get moving". When they left I turned to look, only then realizing she was wearing a ripped dress showing a bit of cleavage. She looked at me and said "well, ready to go?" she asked. When she saw me in a daze she laughed again. God I love her laugh
