Chapter 14: Da Harbor
Sprite stuck it out, acting as Alicat's aid. They were done, and Alicat had just left to wash up.
"Heys, I'se don't know ya. I'se Vixen, thanks fer helpin me!" I told Sprite before she could leave.
She smiled at me, "I'se Sprite, er Liz. Its aight, I'se a'ways had to fix me dad up. He's a'ways sick, er was..."
I saw the change in her expression, but I didn't try to press on, "Sprite, well, thanks, and if ya evah need tah talk I'se here. Aight?"
She was once again showing off her pearly whites. The door opened, and Spot walked in. He was starring at me, until he noticed Sprite. He tensed up, looking stern and made a motion for the door.
"Spot!" He shrugged and followed to shut the door behind her.
Sprite watched as all the girls made their ways with their men. Even with me being hurt, I was with my man. She sighed heavily, and walked to the wash room. After washing up, she found a bunk and lied down. Thats when she noticed it.
'Mush.. and a girl! Who da hell does she think she is?' Sprite screamed to herself.
The girl was laughing, and carrying on with him and another boy she had never seen before. The girl was beautiful, and Liz felt as if she didn't stand a chance.
'No wondah he ran.. he went from me to a goddess!' Sprite once again put herself down, something she had always done refusing to except her own beauty.
Mush, the boy, and the girl were walking towards her. Mush sat on the bed across from her with the girl and the other boy on the window sill.
"Heya Sprite!" Mush said enthusiastically, smiling at her.
"Heys," Liz murmured, and then she stood, "I'se not feelin too well. I'se be back."
Mush watched with concern as Sprite walked to the door, and down the stairs.
He turned to the other two, and Skittery asked, "Wha's mattah wit her?"
Mush shook his head, not understanding. But Kat simply sighed, "No wondah you'se bois don't have long relationships. She's jealous! She's madly in love with you, can't you see the love sparkle in her eyes? And she thinks something is goin on between me and you Mush. She's jealous, God! Look, if you'se only loin(learn) one thing remember this, if you ever want to read someone look into their eyes. The eyes says it all, now Mush go find her and explain this all to her."
Kat didn't give Mush anytime to reply, but simply pushed him in the right direction. He was so confused, 'But its Sprite! She's me best friend, she can't like me let alone love me! But den why do I'se feel dis way? If she can't love me, den I'se shouldn't be able to love her. Right?' He walked down the stairs knowing exactly where to look for her. She'd always be there, a whole month after he left, he'd still see her sitting there crying, but of course she didn't know he saw her.
Sprite sat on a bench, curled up, crying. 'He's so stupid! He's so annoying! Why can't he jist undahstand?!?'
She didn't notice the footsteps coming through bottle alley or stepping onto the the harbor's platform(AN: sorry if Bottle Alley and the Harbor aren't near each other- deal with it! lol). There he stood, 'Dammit! Why'se he gotta look so fine, yet be such a jerk? Why'se he here and not with his lil' goil?'
He was smiling and then he saw the tears. He sat down next to her and wiped away the tears. He placed her in his arms, and held her close.
"Wha's da mattah? Someone hoit ya?" He questioned with concern.
"No," She said, her voice full of jealousy and anger, "I'se fine!"
Then he remembered what Kat had told him, 'Do I'se love her? Dat has tah be da feelin, like I'se can't live witout her. Damn, I'se supposed tah take care o' her not love her... but I do love her, more than I knew I could.'
"Sprite, baby,"She rolled her eyes when he said 'baby' and thought he didn't have a right, but listened, "I'se gotta tell ya somethin. Dat goil, Kat, she ain't me goil. Nevah has been and nevah will! I mean I'se love you!"
The last part he mumbled all together, but Sprite heard, "Wha you say?"
He looked in her eyes, "I'se.. uh, I'se love.. I'se love ya, okay?"
"You'se love me?"
"Yeah, and dats why ya so upset! You'se love me too and you thought me and Kat were datin!! But we'se not, I'se not datin anyone 'less its you!"
Sprite couldn't believe what he was saying, and neither could he.
"I'se love you? Who told ya that?" Sprite was a little angry that he knew her secret.
"Yeah, you'se do! Don't ya?" He began to worry.
"I.. I.. No!" Sprite looked down, hanging her head.
"Yes ya do! Don' lie tah me!"
"How? You'se me Mushy! I'se mean, me best friend, me guardian! No, I'se can't."
"But ya do, and I'se can prove it!"
"How? Try me!" And with that Sprite was adjusted in his arms, and now had her lips locked with his. The deep passionate kiss lasted minutes, that seemed like hours. Mush's hand held her small waist, as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Her height being 5'7 and 1/2 inches made it perfect to fit in Mush's arms. She no longer had to stand on her tip toes like she did when they were kids, nor it was a simple tilt of the head. Their bodies fit together like puzzel pieces, and now it was finished. They fit, and its perfect. Their missing pieces have been found, and now its solved, put back together.
