A
week after the strike's conclusion and life seems great, the Newsies
are all Carrying the Banner for 50 cents a hundred and Pulitzer, the
Delancey Brothers, and Snyder are gone! Denton gave up his job as an
ace war correspondent to remain in New York where he took control
over The New York Sun. Jack "Cowboy" Kelly is sitting on
the escape staircase waiting for Sarah Jacobs to wake up.
"Jack,
you've got it bad for her" a recognizable voice said. when Jack
turned he saw David chuckling.
"Oh, real smooth Dave."
Jack mumbled. David was laughing again,
"why not go in &
wake her up?" but this time, Jack's eyes never left the curtains
of Sarah's room.
"I dunno, Davey. I just can't" David
started to feel uncomfortable that his good friend and his sister
were in love. stuttering, he said,
"why not come in for
breakfast with my family?" but Jack just rejected it..
"naw..
I'm okay. Me, Race & Spot was gonna go to the diner." he
started to get up... "Cya later, Dave"
Just as Jack was
leaving, Sarah woke up and came over to the window, a broad smile
across her face which turned merely to shock and then back to a grin.
"Davey? what are you doing out there?" but David merely
replied,
"I live here, Sarah... Jack Was here, but he
left"
"Well, why didn't he wake me? I wouldn't have
min-" David laughed and then that faded to a smile. "How
did you know he's the one I was looking for?"
"Oh, come
on, Sarah, he likes you & you like him... It was a little weird
for Les & me at first, but now, the only thing weird is that you
2 are waiting so long." Sarah smiled in the winter sun and told
her brother she was going to get ready for work. the whole time, she
couldn't help but wonder why "The Cowboy" of the Newsies
was afraid to do something with barely any risk because she knew
she'd go along with anything he said. Maybe it's because it's too
predictable and he'd feel weird, a Newsie held down... then why did
he meet me for a kiss that day? her thoughts were interrupted by
a knock on her door.
"Come in"she half-mindedly
answered. but noone entered, just the sound of her mother's
voice,
"Sarah, there is no way I'm allowing you to work, look
outside." well, there must be something extreme if her mother
wasn't allowing her to work and once her head was out the
window, she noticed that Manhattan was completely covered in snow and
the few Newsies that were out were headed toward the diner.. she
recognized Race by his cigar, Spot Conlon by his black cane and his
voice, and, the third was "Jack!" she whispered excitedly.
There was another knock at her door.
"Yes mother?" but
Les barged in,
"no, Sarah, me, Les! Mom said that if you come
with me & Dave, we can go to the diner." he got on his knees
and prepared to beg, but Sarah put her hand on his shoulder and
nodded her head "yes".
"OH thanks, Sarah!"Les
yelled happily and rand out slamming the door behind him.
"No,"
she said smiling, "thank you." but why would mother make
me take them, after all, Davey is responsible ...then it hit her,
"Davey!" he walked in, as if on cue with a handsome grin on
his face.
"your welcome," he replied..."now come
on, Les is being a pain in the ass, now we've gotta go!" Sarah
laughed and got her coat and the three were on the way to the
diner...
A/N: THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS... DON'T WORRY I CAN'T WRITE ANGST STORIES.. WELL THE SONG IS "I'LL COVER YOU"-RENT!
Chapter 2: Dining at the Diner
The Jacobs' family walked into the diner, freezing from the below zero temperatures of a New York winter. Davey was trying to keep a straight face as he saw Jack Kelly miss his mouth with food, a phenomenon that would probably not be repeated.
JACK'S POV
Aw shit... hope nobody saw that... I dunno why I can't just talk to her... oh wait, yeah I do... it would only come out something like
"Hey" I blurted out before I could take it back, maybe if I start the conversation, she'd feel like she's gotta talk... woith A/N: worth a shot...
"What ahya skippin woik today Sarah?" She gave me a joking grin, god she can see right through me...
"Well Jack," she began, pulling her coat around her shoulders, attempting to get warm, "I don't know if you realize, but it happens to be snowing and..
I couldn't pay attention, all I'se thinking was how cold she looked and how I thought she was lookin at me..
If
you're cold and you're lonely
You've got one nickel only
With a
thousand sweet kisses
I'll cover you
With a thousand sweet
kisses
I'll cover you
Oh lover... I'll cover you
END POV
SARAH'S POV
"Jack... Ja-aack!" I repeated... he wasn't even listening... he's just staring at me with that dumbfounded, irresistible smile that makes me weak at the knees.
"Excuse me..." I interrupted, it was awkward and too quiet. "Jack!" He shook his head, waking him up from whatever it was he was doing.
"Um... sarry..." He added with a sweet grin
"N-no problem..."I replied... returning the grin.
"Tell ya what, whaddaya say we go fer a walk?" he asked with a hopeful look.
"Sure" I replied... my mind was racing.. Is this a date? ..I guess we'll find out.. Wait a minute, Spot and David are high fiving... they planned this! Oh I don't believe it! .. But I'll have to wait to thank them...
So
with a thousand sweet kisses
I'll cover you
With a thousand
sweet kisses
I'll cover you
When you're worn
Out and
tired
When your heart has expired
Oh Lover... I'll cover you
