The guys were all standing outside of the car, examining it. I
smiled, then pulled open the doors with a sweeping bow. "Okay, Itey, Davvy,
Crutchy, Bumlets, and Skittery, get in the very back. Then Kid, Mush,
Racetrack, Dutchy, and Specs get in the middle. Jack and Spot, hop up
front!" I barked out orers. They quickly obeyed, and I hopped behind the
wheel.
We droe for about five minutes, until we reached Walmart. Now, this is a weird Walmart. It's green. Anyways, we piled out, and I took them to the guys' clothing section and let them pick out swimsuits.
"What do we need swimsuits for?" Racetrack asked, holding up a pair. I smiled.
"Well, 'round here, we swim in swimsuits, instead of our undergarments. So, you guys gotta have 'em!" Sighing, they picked out the ones they wanted, after quite a few fights, and I purchased them. All of the customers were giving me funny looks as I led around twelve guys who were dressed funny. I glanced down at myself and realized I was dressed the same way. Once or twice I had to hold back a newsie 'cause "some old lady looked at him funny."
Imagine that.
Once again, we got in the car, and this time we drove out to Jenny's house. She was waiting for me on her front step. I ordered the guys to keep in the car and keep their heads down as we pulled into the driveway. I hopped out of the car, and Jenny jumped at me, immediately bedgering me with questions.
"What the heck is going on? Why do you have to come over? What's the surprise?" she demanded.
I grinned, then yelled, "Come on out!"
Jenny watched as the curious newsies piled out of the car and lined up behind me. I burst out laughing at the expression on her face.
Swimsuits: $67 Gas money: $10 Expression on Jenny's face as she laid eyes on Jack Kelly: priceless
She was staring right at Jack, and he was staring back. He stepped forward and kissed her hand, and she turned to me, a dreamy look on her face.
"Please tell me I'm not dreaming!" Jenny sighed. I laughed.
"You're not dreaming. But you're not gonna believe it, either. Newsies! Let me introduce you to Jenny, my best friend!"" I said. They all took their hats off, and Jenny giggled.
"I love it when they do that!"
"You know what you'll love even more? We went to Walmart, and I got them swimming suits. I need to keep them occupied today. Can we use your pool?" I said in a rush.
"Sure! Sounds great!" she said, eagerly. "My mom's on a buisness trip in Boston. She won't be back till Wednesday, and David is out at the skate park with Kirk."
"Good. Guys, go inside and put your swimsuits on! We'll wait outside," I added, knowingly grabbing Jenny's wrist as she moved to follow them. "Who knows how many of them'll strip in your living room!" I muttered.
"I wouldn't mind..." Jenny muttered back. I grinned and smacked her. "What? You were thinking it!"
"'Thinking' being the key word! At least I didn't SAY it!" I shot back. She nodded. Within a few minutes, the newsies filed out in their trunks. "Okay, Jenny, you go inside and change. I'll watch them, then we'll switch." She nodded, and I led the guys down to her pool.
"Woo HOO!" Mush yelled, and jumped in the water. I laughed, and watched them jump in, some of them off the diving board. Jenny came out, and the guys whistled and catcalled. Jack glared at them, and they shut up. I left Jenny blushing like mad.
Muahahahahaha...I sense a love interest, don't you?
I changed and walked out to the pool. The guys were wrestling in the water, and Jack was lying on the warm cement, his head next to Jenny's ear. She was lying on the cement as well, and he was whispering 'sweet nothings' to her while he played with a strand of her blonde hair.
"Jenny!" I scolded. "You were suppose to WATCH them, not...Nevermind." I decided not to finish my sentence. She knew what I was going to say. I laughed, and dived into the water, which was at perfect temperature.
