Chapter 14
A Surprise
In a few minutes Olivia was walking into Tibby's. She expected to see Mush at their usual booth waiting for her. When she looked, however, she saw someone there that she didn't expect.
She walked over to the booth. "What are ya doin here, Spot?"
He looked up. "Olivia!" he smiled, standing up in a gentlemanly fashion. "Don't I get a hello, tanks for da flowahs?"
She sat down across from him. "Thanks for those," she said, nodding in appreciation.
"Don't mention it," he smiled. There was a long pause between them, neither knowing what to say. "Say someptin, Liv," he urged.
Olivia decided it was time to break the silence and say what she'd wanted to for a long time. "Do ya know how much ya pissed me off, Spot? How much ya hoit me?" She looked at him, stony eyed. "I ain't forgotten how bad it hoit."
Spot's jaw dropped, bewildered by what he had just stirred up. He couldn't think of what to say to her, but a simple, "Yeah. Sorry bout dat."
"Why, Spot? Wasn't I always a good goilfriend to ya? Wasn't I always nice to ya friends, even the ones I didn't like?" she accused.
"You was a great goilfriend," he replied, still shocked.
"You bettah give me someptin, Spot," she said, threateningly. "Gimme reasons, facts. Gimme someptin!"
He sighed loudly. "I can't tell ya nothin cuz I don't have nothin ta tell ya."
"What'a ya mean?" she asked sternly.
"I mean I was drunk when dat happened, it shouldn't count. You'se still da only goil for me, Livy," he shrugged.
She rolled her eyes. "Maybelle dump ya, Spot?"
He grinned. She had always been very perceptive. "Like a rock," he sighed affirmatively.
She shook her head and chuckled. "When will ya learn?"
He shrugged. "Nevah, probably. So how bout it, Liv? Be me goil again?"
Olivia rolled her eyes. "Aftah that offah? Well I'd be crazy to pass it up, you ol' romantic you," she said sarcastically. "Whatta ya think, I'm stupid?"
He shook his head. "If dere's one ting ya ain't, it's stupid."
Olivia grinned. "Let's be friends, huh Spot?" she spat in her hand and offered it to him.
Spot sighed. "For now," he said, and did the same.
