I stand back crossing my arms in front of my chest when Vy checks the small kids knees and asks her.
"You okay? You're a tough cookie."
I’m not sure how she does it. How she switches from tough as nails bitch to this caring, nice person. It must be a façade she’s putting up. It’s interesting to see this side of her though. To be honest I like it much better than the mouthy chick, who occupies the bunk below me.
I don’t think I could ever be like this with a kid though. The question has never come up and I’ve never given it any thought. One day I might think about it but not now.
Although I must admit that little snuggle and closeness of the two looks very heart warming.
There’s another notion though. Something is happening to me lately. I used to be very sure of all the things I was doing, of my bad attitude towards women in general, knowing their all stuck up, man eating bitches. Maybe my way was worng but it was mine.
Now, however, I find myself confused by new information, new feelings, especially because of Kyanite but also Gala, whom I befriended. It makes me unsure of how to act and who I really am. Am I becoming soft? Do I allow this development? Or do I hate it and stop it because it interferes with my ability to be tough in fights or as a peace keeper? I don’t need a heart there. It’s useless. I need to follow regualtions and enforce the law. The last thing I need is soft spots for kids and girls.
Vy tears me out of my thoughts while I watch them. "So you're not too good with toddlers, but you know how to find them. You're full of surprises Dunham."
I’m not good with toddlers…thank you, Vy…seriously.
“I guess so.”
Then she’s going all soft on me when she tells me from the bottom of her heart. "Really though, thank you."
“Yeah.” I suddenly feel like I’d better make a quick escape from the scene before she wants me to hold the girl again or be a nice and social with them. I did what I had to do. That’s it. I need to get myself in order before I’m starting to wonder about myself and kids…and Kyanite. Holy shit. Get out, Matt. Run, quickly.
“I think she’s okay. It was good to see you. I gotta go now.”
With a small grin I wave to the girl and then Vy before I turn to leave…at a rather fast pace.
