A Collection of Short Stories

Chapter - 1

"Quick catch that cat! It stole my wallet!" I yelled running down the lively street after a stupid black and white spotted cat that had stolen my wallet. Let's start from the beginning, shall we? I woke up at five-thirty as normal. After which I began to do my normal routine; which includes eating breakfast, my morning workout, and then heading to the office building I own. When I reach my wonderful assistant brings my dandelion tea; then she fills me in on my work schedule and the meetings I will be attending.

 After a couple of long and boring meetings, I walk to my usual cafe and order a blueberry muffin and dandelion tea. The cafe is normal, small and free from recklessness and detestation people and things. Until a group of the teenage boy comes walking in from the southside to cause a problem. Of course, there had to be one arrogant teenage boy that has to taunt and be disrespectful. "I'm sorry boys but if you are going to be impolite, then you'll have to leave" the owner addressed the boys.

"Do you think you hold power over me old woman? I will say and do what I choose too" the arrogant teenager replies to the owner with harsh words. The woman stepped back, "I think you should leave and take your friends as well" I step in and glare at the group of boys. The boys glare and get up and walk out. "Thank You, kind sir, how can I repay you?" she asks. I only chuckle softly "no need to repay me, they should have respect for their elders".  I smile and say bye to the old woman. As you can see my day is going great. Remember those kids? Yeah well, they brought more of them and tried to beat me up but I'm respected in this town so the authorities step in. I lost my wallet trying to defend myself.

So here I am chasing this black and white cat down the streets. "Stop that cat!" I yell and run after the little furball. Running into some food carts hurting myself I run under a ladder as a paint bucket dumps all over me. I slip and fall in a fountain of water as I get up as fast as I can and chase after the cat again.  "Quick catch that cat! It stole my wallet!" I yell as I point at the cat some people look at me and just shrug as others try to help and stop it. The cat turns into an alleyway and I turn into the alleyway. I look around for the cat and it's not there "how in the hell did it disappear" I mutter to myself as I continue to look around.

The cat walked out and sits in front of me as it sits my wallet down. "There you are trouble maker," I say as I swat down and pick up my wallet. 'Meow' I hear as the cat rubs up next to me. I look at it as it looks at me cutely and purrs "don't give me that look" I say to the stubborn little cat. The cat meows again and purrs against me "okay you can come home with but don't expect me to keep you" I say as I pick the cat up and walk home with it running my hand through my hair with paint in it. It purrs against me as it falls asleep in my arms as we walk in my mansion I lay the cat at the bottom of my bed as I go shower and lay in bed falling asleep. And that's how a hard-ass got a soft spot with a stupid cat that stole his wallet.
