"Just to Love"
By: Laney Sanchez
==============
Note: I do not own any of the newsies characters except for Reina. I really dunno WHY I'm taking on one more story, but I love Newsies and especially Spot [Who doesn't? ^_~]. Also incase you were wondering, it isn't a typo that Reina doesn't speak like Spot. She wasn't originally from New York. So therefore she doesn't have an accent. Hope that cleared it up a bit.
Enjoy.

Chapter Five ~ And In He Strolled

"Kyle Harrington" said the young man. He looked to be about Spot's age and he was equally as handsome, if not more. Reina noted that his eyes were a shade of jade green, more vibrant than even her own. His raven black hair hung a bit in his face but was mostly swept back.

Reina tried not to stare.

"But call me Kid. Everyone else does" he added with a smile. Reina couldn't help but smile along with him.

"Okay you two, dats enough" Spot Conlon said, barging in between the two. Spot turned to Kid and gave him a look which was something between pissed off and tired.

"Kid yous gotta train dis little firecracker here" Spot said with a jerk of his thumb towards Reina. Reina glared a bit. She was thankful Spot had given her a job and deep down part of her really admired his cockiness and "screw-you-I'm-better-than-you" attitude. But something about him also greatly annoyed her...

However Reina felt her annoyance flutter away like a small feather on the wind as Kid shot her a smile that seemed to say "Don't worry..."

"An I'm warning ya. One slip up an she's outta 'ere" and with that Spot turned, glancing her over. He curled his lip a bit and grabbed a handful of her old dress. Reina jumped back and slapped his hand away, but she was too slow.

"An get 'er some new rags"

With that Spot retreated back to the docks to round up most of the boys.

Reina shot a look after Spot. That boy would drive her mad yet...

"Don't let 'im getcha down" Kid said resting a hand on her shoulder. Reina's eyes widened and a blush crept across her cheeks.

"I-ee..."

The blush deepened. Reina had meant to say "I don't" but had only managed a squeek.

"Come on...keep going. You're working your way to the title of 'moron'" a little voice chided her in her head.

Kid laughed and Reina turned to face him, a bit taken back. "What's so-"
Kid gently put a hand under her chin and lifted her face to hers, silencing the rest of her sentance. Reina felt her entire body heat up and she knew her face was beet red. Kid smiled comfortingly and Reina felt ready to jump him and kiss him right then and there. "Your with me now...so don't go gettin' all jittery on me" he said and gently pulled his hand back.

"Now...to get yous some real clothes" he said with a smirk.
