Chapter 7
A/N- Thanks so much for your reviews everyone! I wouldn't continue the story if it wasn't for all of you. Thistle, to answer your question, I decided to have Kit go for Mush because as you get to know her character more, you'll see she's more interested in the sweet, non-player type of guys. Plus, everyone always goes for Spot, so I thought it would be cool to have something different. I still don't know if her and Mush are going to stay together.
"So, Kit, ya interested in Mush?" asked Spot. They were walking to the Manhattan Newsies Lodge House.
"I dunno, besides, what's it to ya?" Kit shot him a cocky grin.
"Now whose bein cocky?"
"Yeah, but the difference between you and me is I joke about it, you're serious."
"I gots every right ta be."
Kit rolled her eyes. Changing the subject she asked, "so, tell me about Mush."
"Well, I dunno da guy real well, but I tell ya what I do know. He ain't big wit da goils. Goils like him, but he just hasn't had much luck."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, he's had a few goils he really liked reject him or just break his heaht. But I tell ya, he's had some fine lookin goilfriends."
"Okay, well other than his dating life, what else do you know?"
"What's ta say? He's a good guy and a good fightah-"
"Hey Angelface!" said a voice. Kit and Spot looked at where the voice came from. It was Mush. He was sitting up on a ledge staring down at Kit with a big smile on his face. He jumped down. Kit then noticed he had a red rose in his hand. He gently grabbed her hand and kissed it. "I got dis foh ya." He handed her the rose. Kit was surprised because no guy had ever given her a rose. She gladly accepted it and smelled it. She looked at Mush and smiled.
"Thanks, that was really sweet of you," she finally said. Spot was trying not to laugh. He looked away and noticed two pretty girls smiling and waving at him. He looked back at Kit and Mush.
"Well, dos goils are beckoning me, so see ya." He turned around and walked towards the girls.
"See ya, Spot," said Kit not looking away from Mush. Kit couldn't resist the way Mush was looking at her. No guy had ever looked at her that way.
"Please take ya hat off so I can see ya angel face and ya beautiful haih bettah," requested Mush. Kit took off her hat and her hair fell on her shoulders and back. She ran her fingers threw it to make it look a little better.
"Poifect," said Mush.
"You know, you don't have to call me Angel or Angelface. You can just call me Kit."
"But ya are an angel and ya do have an angelface. Why, do ya not like it?"
"It's not that, it's just- nevermind, it doesn't matter."
"Listen, I want ya to meet da guys. Most of dem are in da Lodging House." Mush immediately grabbed her hand and led her inside the LH. They walked upstairs to where the bunks were. The newsies were scattered around playing cards, eating, talking, making out with their girlfriends or just any girl, and things like that. He walked over to where they were playing cards.
"Hey fellahs, I want ya to meet Ang-Kit." They all looked up at her.
They greeted her and Race stood up with a cigar in his mouth. "Dump da chump and come away wit me!" he joked. They all laughed and Mush jokingly shoved him.
"Dese guys heah are Snitch, Goose, and Crutchy. Dave, Boots and Blink you've already met," said Mush as he pointed to each one.
"Ya look bettah when yous awake, but Mush heah likes ya edah way. I mean, aftah we left dat night, ya shoulda heaid what he was sayin, 'Kit is beautiful, she's an angel-"
"Dat's enough, Blink!" interrupted Mush. His face was completely red. The other guys started laughing. Kit just smiled. He's so cute when he blushes, she thought.
"Why don't you two join us?" asked Dave.
Mush looked at Kit. "Ya want to?"
"Sure," she said smiling. Mush and Kit sat in-between Dave and Race. They all played Poker until Kit decided she didn't want to play anymore because she was getting tired, even though she was having fun.
"Mush, I'm tired," she said, her eyes beginning to grow heavier.
"Do ya want me ta take ya back ta Brooklyn? You could even stay heah if ya want to," suggested Mush putting his arm around her.
"Can I just rest for a minute?" Now Kit was growing even more tired.
"Sure, come wit me." As Mush stood up, he brought Kit with him too.
"See you two loveboids latah!" Race said, still focusing on his cards. The others said bye.
Mush led Kit over to his bunk and laid her down on the bottom bunk. "Will you lay with me?" pleaded Kit in a tired voice. Mush smiled.
"Gladly," he said as he lay down beside her. She moved her head onto his chest and shut her eyes. Mush secured his arms around her. I'm in heaven, he thought.
"Mush?" Kit was now beginning to fall asleep.
"Yeah?"
"I had fun tonight." Now her voice was trailing off.
"Me too." Mush sighed as he closed his eyes.
