Chapter 12: He flirts with me?
"We should be there by tomorrow night boss." Josh said.
"Good. Josh, well make assignments tonight so that way we can start right when we get there."
"Alright." Josh said. Then they both heard someone else speak.
"Boss, why are you doing this? She's a sweet girl, you even said it yourself." one of the guys said.
"Because a life for a life. She killed my father and now she needs to die Jon."
"But it doesn't make sense. You didn't like what your father was doing to her, so why are you trying to avenge his death?" Jon asked.
"Are you trying to talk me out of this. Because if you are I think we have a traitor on our hands. And you know what we do to do traitors." He said with his voice rising. The rest of the men were looking at them.
"No boss, I'm not a traitor." He said and looked down.
In Manhattan
It was five days after Spot and Accent had their adventure around New York. Spot had just walked into the lodging house. He came from Brooklyn and was going to Medda's tonight. In fact, practically every newsie was going. It was one of those special nights the newsies declared Irving Hall for themselves. They did about once a month.
"Hey Jack." he said walking up to him in the bunkroom.
"Spot, why don't you just move here." he said joking with him and saying the truth. He seen Spot here more times in the past couple of weeks then before.
"What can I say, I just can't stay away." He said smirking.
"Are you ready?" Jack asked, just finishing up.
"Ya, I'm heading over to pick up Accent once she gets off work. Why don't you join me. You can pick up Green too." Spot said.
"Sure. How much time do we have?"
"Umm about half an hour." They boys tried to fix whatever they thought was wrong with their hair and clothes and watched the other newsies get ready. The other boys were running around trying find things they misplaced. Some were yelling for others to get out of the shower. Spot noticed it was time to go so he and Jack left. The apartment wasn't that far from the lodging house so it wouldn't take long.
"So Spot, how did your date go?" Jack asked him.
"It wasn't a date. I was showing her around." Spot stated as a matter of fact with a smile.
"Ok, how was your day of showing her around?"
"It was good." he said smiling. "It was good and then it rained. So we went up to my room and since I only had an extra set of clothes, she took the shirt and blanket to wear and I took the pants. And then it was getting late so she slept over and the next morning I walked her home."
"Ooo, she slept over. So what happened?"
"What do you mean what happened?" Spot knew he was just trying to play with Jack.
"O come on Spot." Jack said elbowing his friend lightly.
"Ok. I get it. Nothing. I just merely suggested we sleep because it was getting late and that in the morning I would walk her home." He said and Jack nodded. "But man Jack. She was... I don't know how to explain it."
"What come on."
"Ok. She changed into the shirt and she asked me where she could hang her clothes to dry. I had told her the line in my bathroom but she said she was too short. So I went to help her and O man. Jack. I was going to die. She was in nothing but my shirt and she just looked incredible. And then later we were just sitting on my bed and we went to sleep. I was in dreamland feeling her next to me. But as much as I couldn't help thinking how good she looked, I didn't want to sleep with her."
"What? Jack interrupted him.
"I mean I do want to do with her but I want it to be something not that meaningless shit I always did. She told me that she never done anything with a guy and well I want to be that person she does it with first. But I what it to be special to her. You know?"
"Wow, Spot. I don't know what to say. I guess you're really in love man. But I guess it's about time." Jack said smiling to himself. "Spot in love, funny to think." he thought to himself.
"But the thing is I think I screwed it up. I said that I would do anything for her because she was a friend."
"Ooo Spot. You called her a friend to her face? Smooth move there buddy."
"I know. But I'm going to try and make it up to her tonight."
"That's good."
"I guess." Spot smiled at the thought of being in love with Accent. It was just funny to him. "So what's happening with you and Green?"
"Me and Green. We're good friends but we both decided that we would like to stay friends right now. We can both go out with other people but ya. We'll see what happens." Jack said.
"That's nice." he said and they came to the girl's building. They walked to the third story and Spot knocked on the door. Green opened the door.
"Hey guys come in. FC and Accent just got back home five minutes ago. They should be done in a minute and then we can go."
"Ok." they both said as they walked in. Jack gave her a hug and Spot went to sit on the couch.
"I didn't know you were coming?" Green poked him lightly in the stomach.
"Ya well I decided to surprise you." he said smiling and went to sit with Spot.
Accent decided that she was going to wear her mother's dress. She wore her hair down just like she did all five days before. She had been wearing her hair down ever since Spot said he liked it that way because it made her always think of him. But she couldn't help thinking that they were just friends. But she could still like him and what to impress him even if he didn't feel the same, right?
"Hey Accent, can I put some makeup on you?" FC asked.
"Um, I guess." Accent never wore makeup and decided to give it a shot.
"So what's happening with you and Spot?"
"Nothing. We're friends for the millionth time." she said not really looking happy. She didn't really want to admit it but ever since he said it, it hurt her deep down.
"I know that but what do you think of him?" She was curious to hear what she had to say.
"Um, he's nice and sweet and caring and... gorgeous." she said with a smile and a blush.
"So do you like him, more than a friend I mean?"
"I don't know." she said blushing.
"Yes you do. I see you blushing. Oooo Accent gots a boyfriend."
"I do not." she said lightly hitting FC on the arm. "Anyways I might like him but I know nothing is going to happen."
"And why not?"
"Because I gave up on guys remember." she said knowing that wasn't true anymore. "Plus we're only friends. And that's straight from the cow's mouth." she said getting her western tang.
"O. You know he didn't mean just as friends. Ya you guys are friends but... Well just as you me told I'm going to tell you. He likes you."
"What!" Accent said surprised.
"Ya. You don't notice how he flirts with you?" she saw Accent shaking her head no. "Man you must be something special to him because normally he would have done something with you a day after you met if you know what I mean."
"He flirts with me?" she said and FC nodded her head. "I didn't know he was flirting with me."
"Really. All of us can tell. Well I guess you're just naive there." FC said. "Ok, done." FC has put some light blush and eye shadow on her along with some lip gloss. Entice had gotten it from Medda and the girls used it sometimes.
"Thanks." she said looking in the little mirror that hung on their bedroom wall.
"No problem. I'm going to go out there now."
"Ok. I just have to change."
"Ok" and with that FC walked out to the front.
"Hey boys."
"Hey FC." Jack said.
"Where's Accent." Spot asked.
"O, she'll be out in minute." FC said smiling and giving him a wink.
Jenna looked at herself again the mirror and noticed how much she looked like her mom. Her mom was beautiful, but Accent didn't think she looked nearly as pretty, just cute. She turned around and walked to the door.
They saw the door open and Spot stood up right away. He saw her walk out and she looked beautiful. She was wearing a blue dress, not light but not dark, but it brought out her eyes. The neckline was low but also modest, it almost went off the shoulders but didn't and it fitted her just right. He was speechless.
"Hi." Accent said with a smile. She seemed a bit more shy now but FC knew why. Spot walked over to her and took her hand.
"Hi." he said and kissed it.
"Well, should we get going?" She said a little too fast and headed straight to the door. She went out in the hallway and when she realized that no one was following her she poked her back inside. She saw everybody standing around looking at her. "Well, come on. Let's get the party started!" And went back to the hall. Everyone stood around looking at one another. They were all waiting for somebody to explain her sudden attitude. They all started going to the door.
"Hey, Spot."
"FC do you know what just happened?" he said whispering.
"I might. I told her before I came out that I noticed how you flirt with her. She didn't even know you were even though all of us could tell. She might be surprised still. Or now that she knows you like her she doesn't know how to act. Maybe." FC said.
"FC!" he yelled in a whisper.
"Sorry. But you agreed to let me help. How was I suppose to know she doesn't know what flirting is? I thought she would have known. But that's why she was also hurt when you said friends because she didn't know you were flirting with her."
"Well I guess I'll have to be extra careful now. Thank you! I don't think you're really helping me." he said not really liking the situation FC just put him in. They both left the apartment and ran to catch up with the others.
On the other side of New York
"OK, y'all know what to do. Meet back here in two days time. If you find anything out before hand, you know where I'll be." the man said.
"Yes boss." the men replied.
"Now go." he snapped at them. He wanted to find her soon. Get back at her for what she did to his father. "Jon. Come over here."
"Ya." Jon said walking over. He had dirty blonde hair that could be mistaken for brown and Hazel eyes. Just like the rest of the men, he had well developed muscles from the chores he did on the farm. He made any girl swoon with his height and rugged looks.
"Now. I'm not going to have any problems with you am I?"
"No, boss." Jon said looking at him. The man nodded his headed as if he was thinking.
"Good. Now get going." he said. Jon nodded his head and left. A couple of minutes later.
"O Jon, what did you get yourself into this time. I should have listened to her." He said to himself. He was remembering his childhood friend. The girl he liked when they were still kids. Her blonde hair that went to the middle of her back. Her eyes and smile that would light up any room she entered. He remembered how carefree she use to be but with the recent events, he saw her spirit die inside of her. She was innocent like a child. Nothing bothered her and she didn't understand the worries that haunted the adults. "Stop it. You got to concentrate Jon. Concentrate!" And with that he headed off to Manhattan to do what he came here for.
