Chapter 11
Spot was walking up the Manhattan Lodging House fire escape as quiet as possible due to the fact that he was coming back way beyond curfew. He had attended the leaders meeting and then had taken a walk before heading back to the lodging house. He was walking past Kate's window and stopped. He thought he heard crying. Spot opened the window part way and sure enough Kate was lying on her bed sobbing. Spot opened the window the rest of the way and climbed in. He walked over to the bed and knelt beside it.
"Kate are you ok? What's wrong?" asked Spot. Kate sat up and threw her arms around Spot's neck.
"Oh Spot!" she cried, "it was awful!"
Spot knew it was one of her nightmares. She had been having a lot more nightmares lately. Spot got up and sat next to her on the bed and held her as she cried.
When Kate had stopped crying, Spot thought it best if he left.
"Kate, I'm gonna go so you can get some sleep."
Spot got up and was half way to the door when Kate rushed to him.
"Please don't go. Stay." Kate pleaded. Spot turned around and looked into her eyes. He cupped her face in his hands and wiped the remaining tears away with his thumbs.
"Oh Kate, I wish I could but I can't. It wouldn't be right." He responded. Kate threw her arms around his waist.
"Please Spot. I don't wanna be alone."
"Alright. I'll stay." Spot sighed. Kate pulled Spot into a soft kiss that became more passionate as time went on.
Kate slowly slid Spot's suspenders off his shoulders then moved to unbutton his shirt finally pulling it off. Meanwhile Spot had started to unbutton the buttons of Kate's nightgown which he let fall to the floor. They then half walked half stumbled to the bed where Spot gently laid Kate and joined her quickly. He hesitated for a moment.
"Are ya sure ya wanna do this?" he asked. Kate didn't answer but pulled him into a passionate kiss. Spot slowly moved the kisses down to her neck and a small moan escaped Kate's lips.
After awhile of kissing, Kate was becoming a little impatient. She wanted him now.
"Spot." Kate said breathlessly.
"Yeah." Spot responded between kisses.
"Just do it already."
Spot paused his kisses and looked at her. A smile was adorning his smooth, sweet lips. He knew what she meant, so he entered her with no hesitation. Kate let out a small moan of pleasure. Thus the rest of the night was filled with pleasure filled moans.
The next morning Spot woke up to find Kate wrapped up in his arms. He kissed her forehead lightly. Kate stirred and opened her eyes slightly and a smile came to her lips.
"Good mornin' sweetheart."
"Morning Spot."
"I hope ya enjoyed last night as much as I did." Spot said with a smile on his face.
"I loved last night." Kate responded rolling over and started to get out of bed.
"Where do ya thing you're goin'?" Spot asked as he grabbed her arm and pulled her to him.
"To work." Replied Kate. She turned so that her back was to him and again tried to get out of bed but Spot wrapped his arms around his waist and pulled her back to him.
"Don't go." He whispered in her ear then started to massage her neck with his lips.
"I have to go." Kate said trying to resist staying but the feeling of his lips was too much.
"Alright. You win. I'll stay." She said finally giving in. She then turned around and engaged him in a passionate kiss. A minute later they were interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Go away." Spot yelled after breaking the kiss.
"Come on Spot. We got papes ta sell." Jack said from behind the closed door.
"I'm not sellin' taday." Called Spot.
"How are ya gonna pay for tonight?" asked Jack.
"I don't know. I'll figure out a way." Spot replied.
"Hey jack. Could you go tell Medda I won't be able to come today but I'll be there tomorrow?" Kate asked.
"Yeah. I can do that."
"Thanks Jack."
"No problem. Come on Spot. We're gonna be late." Jack said growing a little impatient.
"I'm kinda busy right now." Called Spot.
"What could ya possibly be doin' that ya can't finish later?" Jack asked. The only response Jack got was a quiet moan. A smile spread across Jack's lips as he shook his head and walked out of the lodging house.
When Jack got to the distribution office, he walked to the front of the line ignoring a few greetings from some of the newsies.
Blink and Mush had seen the smile on Jack's face and wondered what he was so happy about. After kissing their girlfriends, Bookworm and Reticent, goodbye they raced after Jack.
Jack turned around when he heard running behind him and saw Blink and Mush running toward him.
"Hey guys. What's up?" Jack asked when they got closer.
"Hey Jack." They both responded.
"We were just wonderin' why you were so happy." Blink said.
"And why Spot ain't here." Mush added.
"It's nothing and Spot's busy if ya know what I mean." Said Jack and he turned and continued to walk towards Medda's. Blink and Mush looked at each other confused. A smile came to each of their lips when they realized what Jack had been talking about.
*~*~*~*~A little while later~*~*~*~*
Kate woke up in the early afternoon. She was tired and ached from head to toe. She looked over at Spot sleeping peacefully and Kate wondered why he had chosen her. He could have any girl he wanted and he chose her. Kate knew she wasn't gorgeous like some girls but she wasn't ugly either. She was just plain looking and she couldn't imagine why a gorgeous guy like Spot would want her. Kate knew though that she loved him and he loved her. The engagement ring on her finger proved that. Kate lightly traced the outline of his jaw with her fingertips. Spot stirred and his eyes fluttered open.
"Good mornin'."
"More like good afternoon."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Well, I'm gonna go back ta sleep."
"Alright."
Kate turned so that her back was to him and Spot wrapped his arms around her waist. Kate felt safe and protected in his arms. She could spend the rest of her life in those arms. A smile came to Kate's lips as she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep dreaming about what her new life with Spot would be like.
Lady had been looking for Spot all day. She decided to head back to the lodging house when she was done selling her papers. When she was close to the lodging house, she spotted Spot walking down the sidewalk with Kate at his side. She should have known he'd be with Kate. Don't get her wrong, she liked Kate but she wanted Spot. She had to talk to him.
"Spot. I need ta talk ta ya." She yelled Spot looked up at the mention of his name and saw Lady walking toward them.
"What do ya want Lady?" Spot called back.
"I need ta talk ta ya. In private."
"Kate, can we use your room ta talk?" Spot asked turning to Kate.
"Yeah, go ahead. I'll wait in the lobby." Kate replied. Spot led Lady to Kate's room and Kate went to the lobby.
"What do ya want?" Spot asked angrily as soon as they were in the room. Lady just stood there.
"What do ya want Lady? You asked ta talk ta me, so what do ya want?"
"I love you Spot."
