It was a Saturday and I was just strolling down the High Street, going nowhere in particular, when I noticed a commotion down a side alley. A largish male was pushing two girls around; they both looked pretty distressed. I grabbed the bloke as he slammed one of the girls into a door, and he went arse-over into the road, got up and took a swing at me. I dodged, and gifted him a right hook; his nose took the brunt and spurted blood instantaneously. He thought about coming again, but the blood was pouring from his nostrils; he staggered off, thinking better of it.
The two girls were a little shaken; the taller of the two checking the smaller prettier one over, to ensure she was ok. She then turned and thanked me.
“None of my business I know, but what was that all about?” The taller one half smiled and looked a tad sheepish, she was thin and quite shapely, but her face was a little angular; nothing like as pretty as the petite redhead who accompanied her.
“Oh, never mind; he’s just an estranged ‘friend’ who seem to think we still owe him something; can’t thank you enough for helping, I doubt he’ll bother us again after that!” I wasn’t so sure, so I offered to walk with them for a while, especially as the redhead gave me a very warm smile which I returned; my nether regions tingling at the warmth of her sweet face. This seemed to agitate the tall one.
“Oh thanks, but you needn’t bother, we’ll be ok, won’t we Candy?” ‘Candy’ was still looking at me with some admiration; her friend shook her.
“OK, so you’re impressed with being rescued by a knight in shining armour girl, but remember WHO you are and get a grip!” Candy looked at her friend and her smile waned a little, I was a little puzzled as to why her friend was so bothered about me walking with them for a while, after all, the thug I knuckled had simply been given a bloody nose and might be back. Candy gave a wistful look at her friend and then looked at me.
