So, yes, Jack and I had our first real argument today. It was all so incredibly stupid, too! We were having a really perfect afternoon. It was late in the day, he had sold all of his papers, it was just one of those nice and easy lazy days.
Well, we were walkingthrough Central Park, just idling about. He took one of my hands in his large ones, sending shivers running up and down my spine. That sounds kind of silly, I guess. It's true, though. He snapped off a twig from one of the apple blossom trees and tucked it into my hair. The sunlight was filtering down in through the branches , highlighting his gorgeous hair. That hair, I love how there's almost always one or two strings just brushing over his eyes – it's sexy! I know, I'm blushing. He seems to have that effect on me, though! Well, most of the time, anyway! Arrggg!
So, it all started with a very innocent comment! We were strolling around, hand in hand, smiling at each other; just being generally sappy when we came up Skittery. He was with his girl, Mary is her name, I think. Mary was really excited about something, but Skittery didn't seemed too pleased. We stood there together talking when it came out that he was upset over Mary's new job. She just got hired on to waitress at one of the restaurants in Queens.
Now, I don't claim to understand all of the inner workings of the relations between buroughs, but apparently the relationship between Queens and Manhattan is shaky. The restaurant that she started with is the big hang out for the newsboys over there. Hence, Skittery's reluctance to have her there. She says that there's nothing wrong with it and he was just being pig-headed about the whole thing.
I was just about to side with Skittery saying that maybe it would be a better idea to work someplace else when Jack just had to open his mouth. He sided with Skittery, of course, and said that she 'should be listening to her man'. Yes, he said it just like that, in such a condescending tone that I merely gawked at him a moment. I couldn't believe that he was being like that. He seemed to think that since 'the man' didn't think it was a good idea, that was the end of the discussion! It was insulting! So, of course, I had to say something against this injustice!
I'll admit, I didn't go about it the right way, ok? I said, I know it's stupid, but he was making me soo angry! I said that I thought it was a good idea and that the two of them were just being immature and arrogant. Jack looked at me like I was kidding, prompting me to rashly ask Mary exactly where this place was because I was going to apply there, too.
Haha, you should have seen Jack's face! It was priceless! He glared at me and raised his eyebrows, muttering 'excuse me'? Mary started laughing, it was so great! Jack was still stuttering, Skittery was still scowling, so Mary and I walked arm in arm away; leaving the boys in their idoicy.
It was funny, and it felt good to sort of put them in their place. But now, I really feel kind of bad over the whole thing. I mean, yes, Jack was being a Big jerk! I shouldn't have said that just to get to him, though. Now he's probably worried that I really am going to go over there and work. That really wouldn't look to good to have the Manhattan leader's girl working in so-called enemy territory. I just wanted to show him how ridiculous he was being over the entire situation.
I hate fighting with him, though. Our first fight, too. Oh, my gosh...Jack's here...I had better go! I'll let you know what happens, dear diary!

This is so sappy it kind of makes me gag, but eh, what the heck, it's fun to write. Heehee! Is it fun to read? Ah, well.
