"One second, I'se gonna stop at the lodgin' house for a skirt so I
look more like 'dem other goils. You'se got a jacket?" she asked me as we
walked.
"Nope, sorry," I apologized. She looked downtrodden for a minute but her eyes lit up again quickly.
"Dat's alright. Jacky's got one. We'll 'borrow' it for now," she said.
"Jacky-boy's got a suit jacket?" I asked in disbelief
"Yeah, for when he takes out dat Sarah goil." I shook my head in understanding and we walked to the Manhattan lodging house. Slider ran inside to change and steal Jacky-boy's coat while I stood outside, hoping no one would notice me. Of course, I wasn't that lucky.
"Whatcha doin' heah?" I heard Racetrack's heavily accented voice ask me. I remembered his name! Amazing. Anyway,
"None of ya business," I told him mysteriously, but just then Slider came bouncing down. She didn't see Race and I knew exactly what was going to happen then.
"So, ya ready ta go dancin'?" she asked, just like I figured she would. Race snorted behind her. She must have realized her mistake because next she said, "Oh, shit. I'm sorry, Spot."
"S'all right," I said grimly. "Can we just go now?"
"Of course," she promised. When we got a safe distance from the lodging house she apologized once again. I promised her it wasn't a big deal and she let it go, though we both still knew it was a big deal. Soon we were in Central Park. I hadn't seen it at night before, living in Brooklyn you don't spend many nights in the 'Hattan area. Lamps were set up everywhere for light and there was a live band off to the side. Couples were dancing in the romantic moonlight, it was a sight that made me want to kiss Slider. "Heah's ya coat," she said, handing me Jacky-boy's black coat and breaking my silent reverie.
"Thank ya," I told her and slid into it. I looked over her ensemble. I'm not one to be impressed much by a girls clothes, but these were something else. She had a blood red skirt and a black top that somehow puffed out in a way that made her look more gorgeous then she already was. As she turned around I noticed a flash of something on her back beneath her collar. "What's on ya back?" I asked.
"Me back? Oh, dats me tattoo," she said, as if it was the most ordinary thing in the world. She pulled down the back of her shirt to reveal an intricate dragon on her back. "What ya think?"
"Its gorgeous." Then I couldn't help myself, I added, "Just like you."
She looked at me and I could see a smile in her eyes, no matter how much she battled it from creeping onto her face. I smiled back at her. "Want to dance?" she asked, and pulled me into an embrace and started rocking back and forth to the music. She set her head down on my shoulder, and I bent in and kissed her.
I was in love. And it felt good.
A/N: Alright, its done. That's all folks. Ya know. the whole shebang. Sprite/Mush romance to come soon though. Also, check my other story, Wish Upon A Star. There's some Spottie romance in there too. Once you get to a point.
Raven's Wing: I am supposed to tell you that Slider had nothing to do with the creation of this story and therefore you may not be angry with her for standing him up. And she had a reason. But I am required to say that or Katz (Sli) will kill me. Well, that's all. Hope ya like the ending!
Sprite: Yes, yes. You and Mush next. Ain't you lucky. I need to think of a plot line, but I promise I'll have something soon. Thank you, I am the bestest, ain't I? LOL. No, I'm not. I just have way too much spare time. XD
