Chapter Thirteen
As Blink neared Bobbie's room, he heard the melodious sound of Bobbie's humming inside her room. 'She sounds like she's in a good mood,' blink thought to himself. He knocked lightly on her door, yet loud enough so she could hear. Getting caught in her daydream, the humming abruptly stopped and she called, "Who is it?" "It's me, Blink. Ya know, Mush's friend?" was his reply. He was a bit nervous, but he was determined to help Mush out and to get to the bottom of this. 'Besides,' he thought, 'Mush is my friend too. I mean, Race might need a little help playin' cupid heah.' His musings came to an end when he heard the door handle turn and a head popped out of the doorway and said, "Yes?" Blink suddenly froze and forgot everything he was gonna say. As he stood in the doorway, looking like a silent fool, he was brought back to reality as she said, "oh, I know you! Mush talks about you all the time. You and Race. He always tells me what a good friend you are." "Oh-Oh really?" He stammered. 'Maybe dis was not such a good idea after all,' he thought. 'I mean, there's no rushin fate heah.' But he had crossed the point of no return. He gulped as he began. "Uh, yeah, I guess so. I mean he's a really great pal. And he's da reason dat I'm heah." He pretended not to notice that her eyes grew considerably larger as he said that statement. "Word on da street is dat you'se has gotta thing for my pal Mush." Her eyes got even larger, and her jaw dropped open. "Now I'm gonna ask ya a question, and the answer'll be kept jus between da two of us. Okay?" She gulped and slowly nodded her head. By this time, she was standing in the threshold, and her door was wide open. Blink, having gotten over his nervousness, took a deep breath and breathed out the question, "Do ya like 'im?" ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Bobbie stood silent for a moment.'should I tell the truth, or lie? I mean, it would be easier to lie, but I couldn't live with myself.well, he said it would be kept between the two of us, and Mush trusts him, so I will too.' Blink did not prod her or pressure her for an answer, so he just remained there silently, waiting for an answer. Finally, she answered, "Blink, yes, I do have feelings for him, but I don't know if he returns them or not. That is why I have been trying to make myself be his friend, and not make it into anything other than what it is meant to be." After the confession of the feelings that had pressured her for a long while, she sagged with relief. Upon seeing the questioning look in Blink's eyes, she explained, "Uh, it has just been a while since I've felt this way, and it's all new to me, and it has been plaguing me ever since it has happened and with no one to tell, I am just relieved that I got it out." Blink gave her an understanding smile, hugged her, and said, "Hey, dontcha worry 'bout it, kay? It'll be alright. Trust me." They broke, and Bobbie gave him a watery smile. "Mush was right. You are a good friend," she told him. "In dat case, I'd like ta ask you out ta dinnah tonight ta Tibby's, and we'll have fun. How's dat sound?" he asked, as a plan started formulating in his mind. At her nod of approval, he said, "I'll have Jackie take ya to Tibby's at seven o'clock, an meet me in da corner table on da left side." They bade farewell, and as Bobbie went into her room to daydream about her unfolding love for Mush, Blink walked off to fulfill his unfolding task: Talk to Race and plan it out to get Mush and Bobbie together. Whistling as he walked down the corridor to his room, he triumphantly thought to himself, 'Man! I nevah knew dat playin' Cupid could be so much fun!'
A.N. How was it? Review for me. I'm trying to get good at the cliff hanger type of thing. I'll be writing more, actually I think I'll write more now. Read on! ~lindi
