Hugging her knees, looking up with big, pleading eyes Hungy. Pwease, food?
Do you have somewhere to go after that? A home?
Shaking her head slowly, her lower lip quivering as she does so No home. Papa went away... left me all alone.
I sit down next to her How old are you?
She looks up at you, tilting her head slightly
"Four," she says quietly, in a soft, childlike voice. "How old are you?"
She thinks for a moment
I want... pizza. I really like pizza.
She looks down and fidgets with her fingers as she waits to see if you'll actually get her a pizza
I kneel down to be at eye level with you. What's your name?
"Sh-Shelly..."
She hugs her knees tighter and looks down shyly, avoiding your gaze, as if ashamed
I am 18 years old male How old are you?
She looks up at you, tilting her head
Six. Why?
I chuckle lightly. You know what, kiddo? You're cute. How about we go grab something to eat together?
Shelly's face lights up as her eyes grow wide with excitement
R-Really?! Y-you want to take me out to eat?!
Yeah I got some money. Pulls out $20 Here's twenty dollars. That should be enough for something to eat.
Eyes widen as she sees the twenty dollar bill
Wow... thank you! Thank you so much!
She takes the twenty dollar bill gently from your hand, folding it in half and sticking it in her pocket
A very attractive guy offers to buy you dinner
I look up at the man and my eyes widen. He's so much bigger than me. I've never seen such a handsome man before.
F-Food? Y-You'd buy me d-dinner?
I'm eating lunch at the food court. What's your name, kid?
Looking up at you, eyes still full of hunger and need
Sh-Shelly... Pwease, can I have some food, mister?
I gently pick you up and carry you to my car. Let's go get some food, okay?
Her big eyes widen as you pick her up, but she doesn't struggle or resist. She holds onto your shirt, looking up at you
O-okay. Pwease? I'm very hungry.
I smile warmly at her. "If you're hungry, let's get you something to eat."
Her eyes light up with joy as she smiles back at you, a little bit of drool forming at the corner of her mouth "Yay! Food! Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
how old are you? I ask sitting next to her
She looks up at you, her tummy grumbling loudly
She holds up her fingers to try and count, but keeps losing track and just gives up
... Um, s'pose... 6?
What if I buy you some food but we go somewhere together?
She looks at you warily. W... Why do you want to do that?
I chuckle as I pick her up from behind What would you like little one?
Her small hands holding onto your arms as you pick her up. She lets out a small squeak of surprise before smiling
Uh... A burger and fries, please! And a Coke too!
