Chapter 14: I'm going to get you!

Later that night, Accent was getting pretty tired. She was always use to a hard days work and getting to bed early, so her staying up late at night was something she was going to have to get use to. She was now sitting on the chair in front of Spot. Her right elbow was the table and her hand was supporting her head. He was leaning forward and she could feel his chest against her back. It was a new feeling for her, to feel a man's touch and feel protected. She liked the feeling. he was throwing in some coins when he noticed her head bob up a couple of times. It looked like she was falling asleep and was snapping her head up. He rubbed his hand on her arm. He waited till the end of the game to talk to her.

"Do you want to go home?" he saw her nod. Spot noticed that she was getting tired as time went on and felt it best to get her home to rest. Including after everything that happened. "Ok, let's go." He helped her up out of the chair and they said bye to their friends.

They were outside and started heading off to her apartment. They were walking side by side, not even holding hands.

"I hope you had fun?" he asked.

"Ya. I got to learn poker, make new friends, dance a little. It's a girl's dream." She said smiling at him. She looked down blushing and then straight ahead. They walked in silence for a couple of minutes and she noticed that the Horce Greeley statue was coming up. She looked over at Spot and got a sneaky smile on her face. Spot noticed this.

"What?" he asked carefully.

"O nothing." They walked a couple of more minutes. Then all of sudden she jumped in front of him and he stopped. They were inches apart and Spot didn't know what she was up to. She was standing there smiling at him with rose color cheeks. She reached up to touch his face. She was rubbing her fingers lightly over his cheek. It was the first time touching him for her. His skin felt smoothed and she could feel the warmth from his face. She moved her hand from his face to the back of his head and she stepped closer. She ran her hand through his hair. She moved up to his hat and grabbed it from his head. She started running and when he realized what she had done she was already half way to the statue. He took off running after her.

"I'm going to get you!" he said smiling.

"O no you're not." she said leading him around the statue.

"Get back here." Even though she had stolen his hat he was having fun playing cat and mouse.

"Umm no." She lead him around the statue a few more times and stopped when she didn't hear his footsteps. She walked around the statue once more thinking that he was hiding around the corner from her. When she didn't find him, she started getting worried. She was looking around the square now circling in place. She started panicking.

"Spot?" she said. "Spot where are you?" She started clutching on his hat. "This isn't funny. Spot?" She couldn't find him anywhere. She felt a hand on her shoulder and turned around quickly. Too quickly that she tripped on her feet. Spot caught her before she touched the ground and helped her back on her feet. His arms were around her and she clutched his hat holding it up to her heart. "You scared me!"

"I'm sorry. Are you alright?" he asked worried.

"Now I am. Where were you?"

"Well when you were running around the statue I went on top of it. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."

"I know. I'm just still a little out there after what happened."

"I swear I won't let that happen to you. I won't let anyone hurt you alright?" she nodded, looking down at the hat in her hands. There wasn't much room between them because Spot was holding onto her tightly. He brought his right hand up to chin and lifted it. She looked at him, wondering what he was doing. "I give you my word." Her eyes wondered his face. He couldn't believe that she wasn't moving away. Standing still as if she planned the whole thing up to that moment. He leaned down and she waited for him. Just when he got close enough to kiss he stopped. Looking at her. He wanted to make sure that it was real. She couldn't wait any longer for him and knew if she wanted to happen then she would have to do it herself. Then she closed the gap between them. Accent didn't know what to expect really, where to put her hands, should she let him do all the work? So she did what was natural. She brought her hands up to his neck and followed his lead. They broke apart after a couple of moments. Spot didn't want it to over to do. So he kept the kiss sweet. He looked at her. Her eyes were still closed as if she was reliving the moment just seconds ago. She took a deep breathe in and let out. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at him. A smile slowly crept upon her lips. She looked down and blushed. They looked at each other. Then they heard footsteps and saw that it was Pie bringing Cakes home. They looked at each other.

"Well I guess let's get you home." Spot said. They started walking again but she stopped. "Everything ok?" he asked.

"Ya, I just forgot one thing." she said.

"What?"

"This." and she put his hat back on his head. He smiled and she fixed it. They started walking side by side again. She was swinging her arms and then she placed her hand in his. He looked at her and smiled. And he brought her back to her house. She bent down and took her key out of her boot. Spot raised his eyebrow at this. Accent stood up straight and looked down at her hands. So did Spot. She was fiddling with the key in her hands.

"I had fun tonight Spot." she said looking up.

"I'm glad." he smiled. He looked at her. She looked so innocence just standing there waiting for him to make a move. "Hey, I know we've only known each other for a few weeks now but I was wondering... um" this was harder for him than what he thought. "Well would you like to go out sometime? I mean as a date not friends." he looked at her. She smiled even bigger. Her eyes glowed with happiness.

"I love to!" she said quickly.

"Ok." he laughed at her excitement. She stood there embarrassed. "Ok, so how about tomorrow night?"

"Sure." she nodded her head.

"Ok. I'll pick you up around six?"

"Ok. I'll see you then."

"Um, If I'm late don't start worrying ok. I have to do somethings back in Brooklyn so if I get held up don't worry."

"Alright. Have a good night Spot."

"You too." he watched her turn around and put the key in the door and open it. She was about to walk in. "Accent." Spot said taking step towards her.

"Ya" she looked at him. They were inches apart. He leaned down and gave her a small kiss. He looked at her and he knew he had a special feeling for her.

"Bye." he said and he walked away backwards.

"Bye." she watched him go. She went inside and closed the door.

Jon was walking down the streets as he saw a young man come out of a building. He couldn't believe that he was doing this. Betraying one of his best friends and the girl he could never get out of his mind. He passed the guy and gave him a nod. He didn't know where to begin. All he knew was that she could be anywhere. All he could hope is that he found her first. And as luck would have it. He looked up to the sky and saw a light being turned on in one of the apartments. He saw the figure of a women looking out. The light surrounding her figure. The figure that looked so familiar to him. Then he saw it. Her face. The blue eyes that could cheer up any room that she walked into. The innocent face that would appear in his dreams at night. But now that he found her he didn't know what to do. He looked at the address of the building so he would know where she lived. He would come back later for her. And with that he left. Trying to think about how he should approach her.
