Chapter 3
At 6:30 the next morning, Race came into the bunkroom and shook Angel's shoulder.
"Angel!" "Angel!" "Cmon Angel, wake up!" "We gots papes ta sell!"
She opened her eyes, sat up, and looked at the clock.
"Oh hell no, Race!" "Don't expect me to be getting up this early EVERY morning!"
"Well, if ya want to get paid, you gots ta get up eoileir!
"Ok fine, I'm up!"
"Do you need ta have someone show you da ropes, or not?"
"That's ok Race, I'll be fine."
She started the day off easy and only bought 20. To her surprise, she sold every one of them! Now it was to Brooklyn to see Spot.
When she arrived in Brooklyn, she didn't think it looked much different that Manhattan. Now.... Where again did he say that he wanted to meet her? Oh yes, at the docks.
When she got down to the docks, two men came infront of her.
"What are you doin' down ere', goil?"
"Yeah, goils ain't allowed down here."
"Well I...."
"I'se don't care if you are Queen of England, you ain't allowed ere'!"
The, Spot walked up behind the first guy and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Sappy, this goil is a friend of mine and she is, from now on, always allowed in me territry."
"Alright Spot, if it's ok with you."
He looked at Angel and smiled. "Of course it's ok wit me!"
Angel Blushed
"So, did ja get all settled in?"
"Pretty much.... And you know what?"
"What?"
"Last night, I got drunk, I smoked, and I gambled!"
"Are those bad things?"
"According to my family, they are!" "And you know what Race told me this morning?"
"What?"
"Last night, when I was drunk, Race told me that I had to go sleep it off." "And when I was walking up the stairs, I passed out, and fell down the steps head first!"
"Geeze, yer a wild woman!" "Did ja get hoit at all?"
"No, but I got a bad headache this morning!"
"I'm sure ya did!"
"Yep!"
"You know what I wanna do?!"
"What, Spot?"
"I wanna go swimmin'!"
"It sounds like fun!"
"Cmon!"
He took his cane and sling shot off his pants and took his shirt off. Then, he popped of his shoes. All angel took off were her shoes. Spot was the first one to jump in, while Angel followed. As soon as she jumped in the water, she let out a scream. When Spot resurfaced, Angel was no where to be found. Spot was frantic.... She must've not known how to swim! He kept on going underwater, but didn't see her anywhere. When he came up out of the water, there she was, sitting up on the dock. Spot climbed the rope ladder and sat down beside her.
"Oh god.... I thought I lost ya!"
"I'm sorry Spot, but it was fun watching you look for me!"
Spot shot her and evil look, but then smiled.
"Cmon, now that I know ya won't drown, let's go back in da water!"
"Hell No, Spot Conlon!" "That water is freezing!" "That's the reason I came out in the first place!"
"Oh ok, I won't either then."
Spot then noticed that she had goose bumps and was shivering.
"Are ya cold?"
"Yeah, freezing to be exact!"
"Ere', does this help?" he said as he put his arms around her.
Angel felt her heart melt! That was the sweetest thing he's ever done for her! She was warm, now! Actually, sweating! She put her head on his shoulder and softly said, "Yeah it helps!"
"Good, wouldn't want you ta die from hypothermia or someptin' like dat!"
Angel looked deep into his beautiful blue-gray eyes. There was something about them that just made you want to die!
Spot's POV
"I wanna kiss er' real bad! I don't know if I'd be moovin' too fast with er', though! God, she is beautiful! She's just like a sparklin' diamond shinin' into me. God, how I wanna kiss er!"
End of Spot's POV
Angel lifted her head off Spot's shoulder and looked at his with a smile on her face.
"Spot?"
"Yeah?"
"Thank you.... For everything!"
Then to his surprise, she kissed him! A kiss which he gladly returned. Angel's arms went around his neck and his arms to her waist. When they broke the kiss, she hugged him tightly.
As she hugged him, he felt a strange feeling come over him. Could he be falling in love with Angel? Yes, he was!
Angel's POV
"Did I just kiss him? Yeah.... I think I did! Man, I don't ever want to stop hugging him! Oh, did I just think that? Oh man! I think I am falling for him!"
End of Angel's POV
"Cmon Angel, we better get ya back to the lodgin' house, or Race will ave' a fit!"
"You're right.... We better go."
When they got to the Brooklyn Bridge, Angel stopped.
"Cmon Angel, if we don't get goin', we'll never get there before dark!"
"I always wanted to be carried across a bridge, ever since I was little."
"Really?"
"Yeah.... Oh well.... Let's go."
Just as she started walking, Spot came up behind her and picked her up in his arms.
"Spot, what are you doing?!"
"What does it look like I'm doin'?" "I'm carrying you!"
"You're crazy!"
"Only fer you, Angel!"
She looked at him with wide eyes and smiled. Then, he leaned down and kissed her while she was still in his arms.
When they got to the end of the bridge, he put her down gently. Then, kissed her lightly.
"I had a real good time today, Spot!"
"I could only say the same, Angel!"
"I'll come to Manhattan tomorrow and see you."
"Really?"
"Really"
"That sounds good, but I'll be lonely until then!"
Spot laughed and kissed her.
'I'll come and sell with ya, and den tomorrah night we'll go to Medda's party at Irving Hall." "How's that sound?"
"Fantastic!"
"I guess I'll see you tomorrah then?"
"Yes, of course!"
He hugged her and gave her a kiss. She then headed back to the lodging house.
At 6:30 the next morning, Race came into the bunkroom and shook Angel's shoulder.
