Doesn't he ever go away? But deep down she knew she didn't want him too, and she was only beginning to accept it. In the meantime, I'll show him me being a slut.
She called Blink over to her, and proceeded to have him sit on the bed next to her. She told him about the day, giggling and whispering in a felicitous manner, glancing at Spot now and then to see if there was any reaction. As she noticed that she wasn't getting any, she started to get flaunt it a little more. She leaned over and kissed Blink on the cheek, telling him it was because he had been such a big help. She tried to convey to Blink that he was just a brother to her while conveying to Spot that she and Blink were on intimate relations. It was impossible.
After she had kissed Blink, Spot started in her direction.
"Blink, ya mind if I'se talk ta her fer a second? Good." Spot said and pushed Blink towards Jack. "Look, goil, if you'se doin' dat fer my pleasure, you'se be bettah off givin' up. I'se cam ovah heah ta stop dis befoah ya slept wid him 'n spite a me."
"Spot Conlon, yer so full a yerrself. Der's nothin' between us. Der is no us. I will do whatevah I want wid Blink. He actually cares 'bout me, which is more den I can say fer you. Ya don't pay any attention ta me."
"What is wrong wid you? Pay attention ta you? Its not like we're togethah. You'se shoah a needy goil. An' if dis is all 'cause I'se don' care 'bout you'se, den you'se needs ta git a life. How da hell did ya come up wid da name Harmony anyways? I think Bittah is more like it."
"Lay off. Ya think I need ta get a life? Yer da one who thinks he's all big and bad jest 'cause he's da leadah a da Brooklyn newsies." Harmony threw at him.
"No Bittah, I'se already big an' bad, dats how I'se became da leadah a da Brooklyn newsies. Git it straight."
"Don't ya have somewhere else ta be? Like a street cornah?" Harmony angrily stuttered.
"Shouldn' you'se be gettin' tucked 'n by yer parents." Spot coolly replied.
Then she slapped him, hard, and spoke in a low, tight voice. "Don't you evah talk 'bout me parents."
Still Spot seemed unmoved by the slap or change in attitude. "Looks like I hit a nerve."
"I hate you! Why can't ya jest leave me alone?!" Harmony screamed.
"Gladly." Spot said and walked to a bed only a few feet away and got in.
Oh great! She thought sarcastically, He's stayin' longah. Joy!
When Harmony had a chance to look around the room, she noticed everyone watching. As soon as they saw that she noticed, they all tried to look busy. She lay back down in bed and closed her eyes.
Trying to sleep, Harmony thought He's so infuriating'. Can't we have one conversation dat he doesn't dominate. And where does he get off thinkin' dat I'se interested in him. Probably 'cause I am, but he has no right ta assume dat. I need ta get ovah him, now. Soonah or latah I'll get sick a him, an' da soonah da bettah as far as I'm concerned.
