"I've been wonderin' 'bout what happened ta you'se since your grandfatha said you couldn't associate wit' us newsies anymore. An' I had everythin' I was gonna say ta ya all planned out but now I'se fergot all o' it. I'se missed ya so much. I had no one ta get advice from or talk ta," Mush said.
"You had the whole entire lodging house to talk to and give you advice," Bay laughed.
"But none o' them know my past; just you, my Astra."
"Why do you call me Astra anyway, Jeremy? You've been calling me that ever since we were little and have never told me why. Will you please tell me?"
"Well, my Astra, I'll make ya a deal. If I fall in love wit' you'se, I'll tell ya."
"Well, geez, thanks, that helps a lot."
"Oh, now where's da hoity toity accent?" Mush teased.
"Up your ass, that's where," she laughed, grabbing his hat and running away with it.
"Bay!" he cried, running after her. "Gimme back my hat, dat's my only one!"
"How about I make a deal with you? If you catch me I'll give it back!" she called, running faster as she saw that he was on her tail.
She screamed in surprise as he tackled onto her forcing them both onto the ground, him on top of her. They were both laughing hysterically and Mush finally got his hat back. They finally calmed down, but when an elderly old woman spotted him on top of her and said to them to "do that somewhere in private," they burst out laughing again.
"Oh, God, Jer, I haven't had this much fun in ages!"
"Yeah, but we're havin' too much fun in public!" he sputtered and the two started laughing again with Bay resting her head on Mush's shoulder.
"Shit. I gotta sell da aftanoon edition. Time really does fly when you're havin' fun. But, hey, uh, do ya wanna sell 'em wit' me?"
"Sure, I'd love to. But you'll have to catch up with me first," she laughed as she sprinted towards the distribution office.
Mush smiled to himself. She was just as incredible as he remembered her to be. He sighed and hurried after her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Mush reached the distribution office, Bay was already there and in a conversation with Racetrack and Blink and she held a stack of papes under her arm.
"Maybe da reason dat ya don't win is 'cause ya suck, Race," Mush overheard Blink saying.
"I'll soak ya, ya bum!" he spat back throwing his cigar onto the ground
"Now, no fighting in front of a lady, boys," Bay joked.
"Oh, yeah, Mush's here. I forgot. Sorry Mush," Racetrack teased.
"But you make a very good looking woman," Bay said lightly with amusement, casually putting his arm around his waist; he put his around her shoulders.
"But I'm not nearly as beautiful as you'se," he whispered into her ear, causing her to blush deeply.
"Alright, well I'm off ta sell. By da way, are ya stayin' at da Lodgin' House tonight, Baby?" Racetrack asked.
She looked quickly at Mush. "Yes, I mean, if I'm welcome there."
"You're always welcome dere, Baby, you'se know dat," Racetrack explained.
"Okay, then I'd love to," she smiled. "Thank you."
"Anytime, Baby," Racetrack kissed her hand. "Anytime."
"So, how are da headlines?" Mush asked as they walked to his selling spot.
"Difficult, but not impossible."
"For instance?"
"Well, for this one here, 'Mayor has non-cancerous tumor,' you could say, 'Mayor's life threatened.'"
"Not too shabby. Try it," he laughed at the thought of Bay yelling out headlines.
"Mayor's life threatened by giant tumor!" One woman walked up and placed a penny in her hand.
"Thank you, ma'am. See Jeremy? I'm better than you!"
"It's beginner's luck," he mumbled.
She snorted.
"Oh, dat's feminine. Actin' like a pig. What's next, rollin' in mud?" he teased.
Just then, lightning flashed across the sky and it became dark and pouring rain. People began searching and scrambling for cover.
"C'mon, Bay. We're getting' soaked," Mush shouted over the noise.
"So what?" she laughed, grabbing his hat and running to Central Park with him chasing after her. He finally caught up to her after a few minutes and they both collapsed onto the ground panting and heaving and soaking wet.
"My God, you're crazy, but so beautiful," Mush whispered huskily. He traced her eyebrow with his finger and Bay shivered. He looked into his eyes, searching for some sort of approval, and when he got it, he leaned in and softly placed his lips against hers.
They were oblivious to the angry pair of eyes that watched them.
To be continued. A/N So how was it? Please review and tell me what you think and any suggestions you might have.I'll love you forever if you do!
