Rainy Confrontation........
"What's not jist you, Mattie?," asked Oscar as he cupped her cheek with his free hand.
"Tell me that you feel it too. That these past few weeks have been h*** because you missed me as much as I missed you. Tell me that you don't want me to leave Manhattan."
"Yer thinkin' 'bout leavin' Manhattan? Since when? Why?," Oscar exclaimed as he tried to grasp what she was telling him.
"I've been thinking about leaving for a few days now. I think it may be easier for all of us if I just take off."
"You mean it would be easier fer you. Ya could jist disappear. You can jist turn yer back on all these emotions," said Oscar accusingly.
"Like you can talk. You've been turning your back on everything from the beginning," retorted Mattie. "I think it's my turn to turn my back."
Mattie turned to walk away but Oscarn grabbed her wrist. "Please don't Mattie. I'm....sorry. I jist don't want ya ta leave."
"I've gotta hand it to you Oscar. You've got quite a way of making a girl feel wanted," she said quietly as she turned to look him in the eyes.
Oscar laughed humorlessly at the whole situation. "Dis ain't goin' how I thought it would."
"How did you think it was going to go?"
"Like dis." He bent his head and kissed her. At first, it was gentle, as if he were testing her reaction, but the moment Mattie began to kiss him back all of the pent-up emotions let loose.
Mattie wrapped her arms around his neck as she parted her lips. Oscar took full advantage of the silent offering and slid his tongue in to met hers.
"MATTIE AND OSCAR WOULD YOU PLEASE STOP SNOGGING FOR ONE MINUTE!!," yelled an angry voice.
Mattie and Oscar jolted apart guiltily. Looking up, Mattie began to laugh as she saw Sapphire and Race standing in the rain. Sapphire stood with hands on her hips and a smirk on her face while Race had a very comical expression on his face.
"Hey, Sapph, Race. Long time no see," greeted Mattie nonchalantly.
"Yeah, sure. Now what was that about?," asked Sapph, getting straight to the matter at hand. "I mean not too long ago you were yelling at Race and I for snogging in public but look at you two go."
Mattie over at Oscar in mild embarrassment. However, she had to laugh when she saw Oscar turning pink.
"What are ya laughing at? Dey're makin' fun of you too," Oscar said in mock anger.
"Oh nothing. It's just that pink is such a nice color on you Oscar," she teased.
Oscar mumbled something to himself before suddenly grabbing Mattie around the waist and kissing her deeply. Pulling away, he began to chuckle. "Who's turnin' pink now?"
Mattie glared up at him. He let her go and turned to the other couple as if nothing had happened.
"What are you guys doing out in the rain anyways?," asked Mattie, trying to focus on anything but Oscar and her blush.
"Welp, pretty much what you two were doin'. However, unless I have been let out of da loop, you two aren't goin' together," said Sapph as she looked from Mattie to Oscar and back again.
"How 'bout we go somewhere dry ta finish dis conversation?," supplied Race.
The others agreed so Race led them to Tibby's. Once inside they picked a corner booth to sit in. Mattie and Oscar, of course, had to sit next to each other. Oscar pretended not to notice that he was taking up more than half of the seat while Mattie tried to pretend that their thighs and arms weren't touching.
"So are ya two tageddea or what?," asked Race bluntly.
"Actually," said Mattie before Oscar could speak. "I ran into him on my way to find you two. I wanted to talk to you."
"About what?," asked Sapphire.
"I'm..."
"She's runnin' away," interrupted Oscar angrily.
"I'm not running away. I'm leaving tomorrow because it's the best solution for everybody," said Mattie defensively.
"You're leavin' for good?," asked Sapphire, trying to understand.
"I'm not sure. I'll be gone for a while at least."
"DAMMIT MATTIE, I SAID I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO LEAVE!!!," shouted Oscar as he hit the table with his fist, scaring the approaching waitress.
"C'mon Sapphy, dey need some time alone," whispered Race as he pulled Sapphire out of the booth. Standing up he said, "We'll talk ta ya later." They quickly left Tibby's.
"You scared them off," stated Mattie. "You happy?"
"No, I'm not because the goil I love is leaving, possibly forever."
"The girl you love? You love me?," asked Mattie in disbelief.
"Of course I love ya. I don't want ya ta leave because I wanted to die dese last few weeks widout ya."
"This is what I meant."
"What?"
"You know when I asked you to tell me it wasn't just me. This is what I wanted. I love you, too, Oscar." Mattie stared up at him through watering eyes.
"Den don't leave. Stay 'ere wid me. Be my goil."
Mattie nodded her head, not trusting her own voice yet. Oscar wiped her tears away gently with his thumbs. Then he leaned in and claimed her lips in a gentle, loving kiss.
