Chapter seventeen
The person released her mouth from his hands.
"Shh!"
"Spot! Damn it! It's in the middle of the night! What are you doing here? You should lay in your bed and sleep! And me too!!!!" Storm whispered harshly.
"Put some clothes on and come with me! I want to show you something!"
"Can't this wait till it's morning?"
"No. Now, C'mon, I wait outside on the fire escape." With this Spot left. Storm sighed but did like she was `ask' for.
"So what is it, you wanna show me?"
"Just follow me!" Spot went down the fire escape and waited on the ground for her to follow. When she was down Spot looked at her.
"Where's your cap?"
"I must have forgotten it. If you remember it's still in the middle of the night. I'm glad that I made the way down here without falling!"
"here take mine. It's saver at this time for you when you hide your hair." Storm mumbled something but pulled all her hair under Spot's cap.
"You sure aren't a morning person." Spot grinned.
"Right. And I'm even less a get-up-in-the-middle-of-the-night-person!" Spot laughed and pulled her along with him.
"Where are we going?" Storm yawned.
"Surprise."
"Have I told you that I hate surprises?!" Storm wasn't in the right mood for this she wanted her bed. In this minute. She didn't know where they were going to. They few streets that she had seen by now when they were selling wouldn't she recognize at day. And then at night...
Spot pulled her suddenly away from the streets and down and small way. Storm was really confused now. She looked around every now and then to make sure nobody was here trying to kill them or anything like this. As Spot stopped suddenly she walked right into his back.
"Ouch."
"Okay, close your eyes and let me take your hand. I'm leading you." Storm closed her eyes. She was sure she would be asleep any minute and Spot would have to carry her back to the lodging house. But she was wrong. She noticed that they walked around a corner when Spot stopped again.
"Okay, now, open your eyes." Storm opened her eyes and opened her mouth to say something but then her gaze fell right in front of her.
"wow!" Was all that she could whisper. They were at the docks and Spot had made them a midnight's picnic. Everywhere around the place were candles burning and the stars were shining double: in the sky and in the river. Spot took again Storm's hand and lead her to the blanket which laid on the ground.
"How d'you like it?" He asked her smiling shyly. It took Storm some time to gain her voice again.
"It's wonderful. How did you know I would like it?"
"I just hoped you would. It's the most beautiful place here in New York. So I thought it would match..."
"Spot! Don't ruin it!" Storm smiled. Spot nodded and they hold their picnic mostly in silence. When they had finished Storm yawned again.
"Tired?"
"Well, it's still in the night and..."
"I got the hint. Let's go back." Spot blew the candles off and laid them with the blanket and the rests of their picnic on the side.
"I'll clean up tomorrow." He mumbled when he lead Storm back to the lodging house. He took her hand all the way because she was almost asleep and he didn't want her to get lost on the way back.
They went in the same way that they had went away. They stopped in front of the window of the girl's room. Spot was almost on his way when Storm grabbed his arm.
"Hey Spot, I liked it." Storm said giving Spot a small kiss on the cheek before heading inside and finally back to bed.
Spot Stood there for some seconds then a BIG smile spread across his face and he went back to his own room to get some sleep himself.
The person released her mouth from his hands.
