At first I wanna thank you for the ideas for Spot's proving his love. I'm still not sure, so you can still tell me if you can think of any.

Chapter fourteen

The next evening there was a poker game in Brooklyn.

"Poker?" Storm asked as her eyes began to sparkle.

"Poker? What do you find so interesting about it?" Ocean asked bored just as Sharie was.

When all the newsies of New York was there Spot first introduced Jack and Ice to the new girls.

"Well, You already know Sharie and Ocean and now you have the chance to meet Storm. And believe me Jacky-Boy, there are some reasons she got that name." Spot told Jack before the girls came down. Or at least he thought they weren't down by this time.

"Yeah, well and it seems that you want me to prove this on you!" Storm glared playfully at Spot. Jack and Ice laughed at Spot's face. Ocean went over to sit with Blue. He said she was his lucky charm. Sharie and Daisy went to an spot in the room where they wouldn't disturb anyone.

"So Spot, you're ready to lose all your money at me?" Storm smiled at him.

"That I want to see!" They sat on a table with Jack and another boy of Manhattan who was smoking a cigar.

"Hey Spot, new girl?"

"No."

"So I still have a chance?" The boy took her hand in his and kissed it.

"I'm Racetrack and you are?"

"Not interested." She smiled innocently at him as she pulled away her hand. Jack and Spot had to chuckle.

The evening went on and Storm won most of the games. It was around midnight.

"I'm out!" Jack throw his cards on the table.

"Me too!" Race did it the same way.

"So that's just me and you. You can still end it?"

"No way Spoty!" Spot glared at her.

"Well, then take this!" He laid his cards on the table and everyone gasped. It was almost impossible to beat this. Almost. Storm looked at her cards then back at Spot and in her cards again. Then she throw them on the table so no one could see them.

"Well, you won Spoty!" She stood up and went outside. While Spot Took his winnings Jack looked curious in Storm's cards. She had won! But why had she let Spot win? (I don't know much about Poker, so I don't know what they had ;P)

He went outside to saying he needed some fresh air. He found her on the steps in front of the lodging house. Storm looked up as Jack sat down next to her.

"Why let Spot win?" Storm smiled.

"You looked in my cards! That isn't very fair!" She smiled. Jack just looked sking at her. Storm shrugged.

"It was getting boring to win all evening."

"Excuse me, but what is this between you and Spot?"

"I don't know what you're talking about?"

"I know Spot way too long. And it's obvious that he likes you. But there's something different."
"What do you mean?" Storm was curious now. Jack shrugged lightning a cigarette and holding out one for Storm to take. She took it and lightened it also.

"He's just acting different. Normally he, ah, I don't know how to explain. It's just different. Do you know any of his ex-girls?" Storm nodded thinking at Cassy.

"Well, then you should know what I mean." He raised and throw his cigarette on the street.

"I don't know what's going on between you two, but it's obvious that there is something." He walked back inside leaving Storm alone with her thoughts.

It's just different. Storm sat there and looked up in the sky. Then she shook her head. She also throw her cigarette away and walked inside again.
