Chapter 4
When she came back to the lodging house, she went inside to see Race by the steps. She was too swept over Spot, she didn't even notice him or say anything. Then, to wake her up, she ran into the wall.
"Geeze, what did he do to ya?!"
"Oh Race.... He kissed me!"
"That's exactly what happened to da last one!"
"Race!"
He Laughed
"Oh Race, what am I going to do!"
"Why, what's wrong?"
"I think I'm falling for him, that's what's wrong!"
"I don't see anythin' WRONG about that!"
"Why?"
"Because, Spot is a good guy."
"You're right Race, thank you."
She went up to him and hugged him.
"Everythin' will be ok if you really, truly, like him Angel."
"You really think so?"
"I know so."
"Thank you, Race!"
That night, she lay there in a daze, thinking about tomorrow, Spot, and her family. Mainly, Spot. "Dose he like me like I like him?" "Only time will tell."
The Next morning, Angel felt someone kiss her forehead. Thinking it was Racetrack, she rolled over to the other side of the bed. Then, he tapped her on her shoulder three times. She finally rolled over, opened her eyes, and said, "Race, I want to sleep in today!" When she rolled back over, she realized that wasn't Racetrack!
"I didn't know my name was Race, now!"
"It must be!" "I'm sorry about that!"
"It's ok."
"Ok.... Goodnight!"
"I don't think so Angel, me and you are selling taday, remembah?"
"Oh yeah, that's right."
"So, now will ya get up?"
"No!"
"Yes you are!"
"What, are you going to make me?"
"Yep!"
With that, he picked her up out of her bed. Smiling, he kissed her.
"Well.... You made me!"
"Yep, now go get ready, we're gonna be late!"
"Alright"
In the bathroom, while she was getting ready, Angel felt a strong thrust of pain come over her body. When it ended, she thought to herself, "Must be cramps."
'Are ya ready?"
"Yeah, I am."
"Ok, let's go."
When they were out and about, selling their papers, Spot stopped Angel.
"What is it, Spot?"
"Lookin' at cha, I jist realized somethin'."
"What?"
"This" he said while leaning in and kissing her.
"Angel, I've nevah been wit a goil that makes me as happy as when I'm with you."
"What are you trying to say, Spot?"
"I'm sayin' dat.... I love ya, Angel."
Angel smiled and her eyes filled with tears. She slowly turned and gave him a hug. "I love you too.... Spot." She whispered.
"Ya do?!"
"Yes, I do!"
With that, while still hugging her, he started to spin her around in circles.
"Music boxes have within Melodies they carry with them. Once they open, music fills the air.
Every Person you have known Has a song of their own, Once they open up you'll hear what's there.
It's not easy You must listen With your hear for what lies hidden.
There was a melody Locked deep inside of me, But now it's free It found a place embraced by harmony, sweet harmony.
Love more than anything Teaches our hearts to sing. Only love can brake the spell, Now I know very well The love within myself."
When he put her down, she was smiling, which made her even more beautiful.
"I better go get ready for tonight."
"Yeah, I know."
"I'll see you tonight, Spot."
"Definitely."
He kissed her goodbye and headed back to Brooklyn.
When she got back to the lodging house, she searched for a dress. She found the right one. It was one that belonged to her sister. It was the color of a red rose, silk, and had medium width straps. As she put on her make up, she couldn't help but smile!
