Shout-outs to all my reviewers! I love you!!!
Blink pulled Olivia in close. He never wanted the song to end. She looked so pretty and he couldn't help but smile when he saw her. As the music faded and the lights brightened, he leaned in to kiss her. Olivia panicked and turned her head.
"I'm sorry, Blink. I'm not really ready yet..I'm sorry." Blink's heart dropped, but he had to respect her decision. He knew forcing it wouldn't help.
"Ok." was all he could say.

As they sat down, Blink heard a gasp come out of Olivia and looked in the direction she was facing. There, a few tables away, were Rachel and Specs kissing. He couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy. *If SPECS can get kissed, then why can't I?* He supported his four-eyed friend and cheered him on. After all, Blink felt a special connection towards Specs. It was kind of like he made up for the eye Blink didn't have.
Right after Rachel and Specs left, Medda started to sing another song that would end the night. However, Blink paid no attention to to the song; it was all on Olivia. The strangest feeling brewed inside him. He liked her. He really, truly liked her. She was on his mind all the time. *This is crazy! I just met the girl this morning and I already feel like this?!* He must have been completely zoned out because he jumped when someone touched his arm.
"Blink, it's time to go. Are you all right?" Olivia was concerned about him. Since the whole kiss scene, he hadn't said a word to her.
"No, I'm not all right. I need to talk to you." He took her hand and led her through the crowd of newsies (A/N: wow, isn't that every girl's dream? To be in a crowd of newsies? *drools*). They got outside and Blink started running towards the LH.
"Um...where are we going?" Olivia asked breathless, still not not knowing where anything was in the New York City of 1899. Blink didn't answer so she kept her mouth shut the rest of the way.
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
The door to the LH was already open, so Blink ran through it and bounded up the steps. When they reached the bunk room, she was prepared to stop, but Blink kept on going towards the end of the room. He hastily opened the window and stepped out onto the fire escape.

Neither said a word for a few minutes. The awkward silence hung over them, invading them. Blink couldn't stand it anymore.
"Livvy, I don't what's going on with me. It's like you have a spell on me or something (A/N: Sapphy, he thinks she's a witch!! See, you're not the only one my darling!!!). I cannot stop thinking about you and I know we just met this morning, but I've never felt like this for any girl...ever." He was pacing back and forth, running his fingers through his dirty blonde hair. Olivia was flattered to say the least. No guy had said that to her before and meant it as much as Blink did. She grabbed his shoulder and hugged him tightly. "When you turned away from my kiss, it felt like you didn't like me anymore." He knew he had sounded like a little, whiny boy just then, but he was hurt. Olivia hugged him tighter and rubbed his back.
"Blink, I know. But I'm 14 years old. I'm still a kid! I know Rachel has probably told you that I've kissed tons of guys, but the truth is, I haven't. I haven't kissed any guy at all. And I know I'm not ready yet." She didn't want to see Blink this way, but she had to tell him the truth.
"When will you be?" Blink knew that she wasn't sure, but he needed to ask, just in case.
"Right now, I don't know. But when the time is right, it'll happen. Blink, all that stuff you said, about having a spell on you, I feel like that, too." They hugged for a long time; both feeling safe in each other's arms. When Olivia finally pulled away, she kissed Blink's cheek, hoping it might lift his spirits.
Suddenly, Olivia's phone rang again. Blink was still in awe over it. *Maybe she's a witch...hmm.* (A/N: That one's for you, Sapph!)
"Hello?" Olivia turned away so her back was to Blink. "Oh, hey Eva! Sorry I didn't call you back, I've been really busy." Now being from 1899, Blink probably didn't know that whenever you talk remotely near a phone, the person on the other line can hear you. He came up directly behind Olivia and rested his chin on her shoulder, his cheek touching hers.
"So, did you have a good time tonight?" Olivia quickly put her index finger over his mouth.
"Oh, that was nobody. Really, Eva! It was some guy walking on the street that wasn't even talking to me. Come on, Eva. Would I lie to you? Well, that was only time! But--. You see--. No---. Ok, that's enough! You're right,ok? I met this guy and it's really long story, but I'm too tired to tell it. I'll see ya when I get home." She turned off her phone and muttered something under her breath along the lines of "If I ever GET home." Blink couldn't quite hear her, she was speaking so softly.
"Did you say something?"
"No, nothing. Blink can we go inside please? I'm really tired." It was only 9 o'clock. Wasn't it a bit early to be going to bed? Blink was a newsie who got up at sunrise and he didn't even go to bed until 10 at least.
"Yeah, I guess. If that's what you want."
