When Friends are More Than Friends.

Ch. 4

Spot.

After Catwalk and I were done for the day, we walked to the docks. I dove into the water. I love the water and the way you feel when your in it. Catwalk, on the other hand, didn't get in today. I tried really hard to get in but nothing worked.

"I'm so glad I went swimming because it's so hot!" I said making sure she could hear me. But all she did was smile and shake her head. I frowned knowing my charm didn't work on her no matter how hard I tried.

"Just give up! Your never gonna get her to get in," Squints yelled over at me. I tried this for about 15 more minutes and gave up. I climbed the rope ladder, walked over to Catwalk and sat down and out of nowhere, I give her this huge hug. Because I'm soaking wet, she jumps up and try's to hide from me. I laugh and go looking for her. I see her running behind an empty crate. As quietly as I could run, I went behind a box labeled Coffee. I pick her up and she screamed. I loosen my grip and she runs to the Lodging House. That's where she always runs to whenever I'm chasing her. As I opened the door, I hear her running up the stairs and going to the bunkroom. As ran up the stairs, I could hear Catwalk looking for a place to hide. Just as I opened the door, I see Catwalk climbing onto the fire escape I know she's going on to the roof so I go into the washroom and change out of my wet clothes so I won't get her wet. I climbed out on to the fire escape and climbed up it to get to Catwalk. When I get up to the roof, I see her sitting in the corner and I walk over to her and sit down.

"What are you'se doin' up here?" I asked her. She laughed at what I said.

"Hiding from a boy in wet clothes," She replies half blushing.

"I see no wet boy," I said half mocking her.

"The boy I saw earlier, he was really hot. I wish I could see him again." I knew she was toying with me but I still shot up and heading to the fire escape to change back into my wet clothes. She gave me a weird look as I sat back down, rubbing the back of my head with my hand.

"Sorry 'bout dat, I thought I herd somethin'," I lied. She nodded her head slowly and looked the other way. I ran my finger though my hair and looked down. I felt like an idiot. I looked up and saw that Catwalk was gone. I sighed and slowly got up to go find her. I climbed down the fire escape and walked to Martha's, knowing that Catwalk would be there. I walked as slow as I could, not wanting to look stalkerish. When I got to Martha's I looked inside to see Catwalk sitting in a corner booth. I went inside and sat next to Catwalk.

"Hey Spot, ya want somethin' to?" Billy, the waiter asked.

"Whatever Catwalk's having," I replied reaching for Catwalk's Coke.

"Touch it, and ya won't be able to touch anythin' else for a week," Catwalk said as she grabbed my hand. My whole body felt like an electrical shock went though it. When she gave it back, I rubbed it to make it feel better. Billy came by right after that with my coke. I shielded it from Catwalk. I started to drink my coke when Catwalk coked on hers. I looked up to see Jordan leaning his hand against our table.

"I didn't catch your name when I saw ya earlier. What is it?" Jordan asked Catwalk. I looked over at her and say sweat beads coming out from her forehead.

"It's Catwalk. And this is Spot." She replied, pointing to me. I nodded my head as if to say Hey.

"I'm Jordan," He said.

"I know, ya uncle told me,"

"Oh, ok. I'll see ya around," He said before leaving. I looked over at Catwalk and felt a wave of jealousy come over me.

"What da hell was dat all about?" I asked trying not to lose my cool.

"I have no idea, I saw him while I'se was sellin' and I sold him one but I thought he would just leave me alone after dat," She replied looking a little nervous.

"I guess not. Foods here." I said pointing to Billy, who was walking over with our food.

"Enjoy," He said as he placed the sandwiches on the table. I took 4 large bites out of my sandwich before Catwalk even took one. She laughed and started eating hers.

"Ya eat to fast," She said before taking a second bite.

"No, ya just eat to slow," I said finishing my lunch with my coke. Out of nowhere Catwalk starts talking.

"Why did ya follow me?" She asked.

"Why do ya ask?" I asked while sucking on the ice that was in my glass.

"I just wanna know. Were ya hungry? Were ya bored? Did ya have nothin' to do?"

"Ya really wanna know?"

"Yeah,"

"I didn't want dat wet boy to be around ya," I said as I laughed almost choking on my ice. She looked into my eyes and started to back away. She might have seen my desire for her. She never leaves my mind. I looked up and saw Billy coming by with the check.

"I'll take it, Billy." She said pulling out some money that was in her pocket.

"I don't have enough, Billy. Could I wash dishes to make up da money?" She asked. My hand went to my pocket and started to get some money.

"Don't worry 'bout it Catwalk, some weird guy already paid for ya and Spot." Billy replied. Catwalk shot me a worried glance.

"Jordan?" She asked.

"Probably. Come on let's go home." I said as I got up and pulled out her chair for her.
