CHAPTER ELEVEN
Since the re-unification of Jack and Mush, things had been going pretty well. Mush could finally breathe again, and was not worried about his position with Bobbie. One day as he was out strolling along the streets (hey! He could relax. He had sold all his papes and was now home free!), he bumped right into Bobbie! "Oh, I'm so sorry!" Bobbie gasped. She looked up into the startled, yet pleased face of Mush, and then smiled. "Imagine meeting you out here," she said. When Mush could regain his composure, he stammered, "What are you doing out here all by yourself?" If Mush wouldhave stopped staring at Bobbie and looked past her, he would have seen Racetrack with a smile from ear to ear. "Oh, I'm not here alone. Race is right behind me. We were just on the way back to the lodging house, or so Race said," Bobbie quickly tried to explain. It was then that Mush DID look up and see the mischievous smile on his best friend's face. Then he knew. It was then that he realized how lucky he was to have Race as a friend. Race had purposely led Bobbie to go the way of Mush's home route so the two would bump into each other. How it had happened that the two literally bumped into each other was a mystery- maybe even fate. Mush looked into the eyes of his best friend and said a silent thank you that only Race could hear. Race, when he had caught up with Bobbie, casually stated, "Oh, hiya der Mush! Imagine meeting you heah. I was just takin' Bobbie back to da Lodging House, but I just now remembered-I gotta meet Blink at Tibby's. Wouldja mind takin her the rest of da way home?" Mush's heart leaped for joy, but he remained calm-outwardly. He coolly said, "oh, yeah. Sure. I wouldn't mind. You go ahead. We'll see ya latuh tonite at da Lodging House." "Thanks, Mushy-boy! You're a real pal!" and with that, Race was off, strangely though not in the direction of Tibby's. he was most likely going off to Brooklyn to the Lodging House there to play a few rounds of poker. When race went to the poker matches, nobody stood a chance. As Mush watched Race head off, he thought, 'I could say the same thing about you.' "Mush?" The sound of his name brought him back to reality. "Mush? Are we going home?" Bobbie questioned. "Yeah. Sorry. I'm outta it today," he admitted with a half smile, "but now, let's go." ~*~*~*~*~*~ Up in her room, Bobbie reflected on her walk home with Mush. She couldn't believe what he was like when he really opened up and shared his thoughts, humor, and ideas. He was sweet, kind, gentle, and Bobbie knew that she had fallen for him. But she couldn't let him know. The feeling of rejection would sweep over her again, like it had before when Mush had avoided her after the Delancey incidence. But she guessed that it was over with now, and he was back to normal. 'If I tell him the way I feel, what will happen if he doesn't return those feelings? I will have to live in the same house, same floor, RIGHT NEXT DOOR to him, and he won't feel the same way about me. I couldn't handle that,' she thought, despair filling her entire being. 'We should just be friends.' But even as she tried to make this resolution, she felt herself going back to earlier when he had made her laugh, made her want to cry with how sincere he was, and how he had shared his innermost dreams. She sighed. 'This is going to be harder than I thought.'
