Hidden Desire

Chapter 6: Skittery's Date

I went downstairs where I saw Skittery looking at the floor. I said, "Don't be so nervous, Emma said she likes you too." Skittery nodded. I said, "Okay come on then." Skittery threw me a look and asked, "Youse coming wid me?" I replied, "Just in case you make a big fool of yourself, which you will I'll be there to cover it up." Skittery said offended, "Hey!" I laughed, "Come on now." Skittery and I made our way to Central Park. When we got there Emma was nowhere to be seen. I said, "She will come don't worry, if not I'll just beat the crap out of her." Skittery sat on the bench waiting while I stood. We both heard footsteps coming our way. I turned around to see Emma. I said, "Hey Emma." Emma said, "Hi" Skittery got up from the bench and said, "Heya Emma." Emma blushed when Skittery addressed her. I said, "Well, I'll just be going." I walked away, but I stopped when I found a tree in Central Park. I then climbed the tree. Perfect view of Emma and Skittery...I sat there what seemed like hours. They sat down didn't say a word to each other and kept stealing glances at each other. I sighed in annoyance. I yelled to them, "Kiss already!" Emma looked up, "What was that, who is that?" I realized my mistake I yelled back, "Uh...its god...I want you guys to kiss..." Real smooth Mandy...real smooth...Emma just looked around and shrugged it off. Wow is she that much of a air head at times...I wonder why I'm friends with her...oh well...she is smart...and nice...right for Skittery...Skittery saw his move and quickly leaned in and kissed her. I said loudly, "All right Skittery!" Darn it...I did it again...I said loudly again fixing my mistake, "Now that you guys kissed...I'm going back to heaven..." I climbed out of the tree and leaned on the truck. Come on Skittery...ask her to be your girl and then this would be all over...I glanced over their way to find them talking and laughing. I smiled. Finally that dork found someone...I decided to leave them alone. I walked to the Brooklyn Bridge. I leaned over the railing dropping rocks into the water.

I looked down at my shirt to find the guitar pick still hanging from my neck. I ripped it off my neck. I don't need need this anymore. I was about to drop it in the water, but I stopped. I looked at it. I sighed and put it in my pocket along with the ring. I'm not giving these up, even if that jackass gave them to me. I walked back to Manhattan lodging house. Jack greeted me, "Heya Mandy, want ta play a little game of poka?" I said, "Sure." I sat next to Jack. As I got my cards I felt someone was staring at me. Ah come on now! I looked up to find Spot staring at me. I looked down again, he was just trying to read my face to see if I have a good hand right? Later since I had such a bad hand I folded and got up from the table. Still feeling a pair of eyes on me. Who is the freakin one who keeps staring at me! Jack joined me on the couch after he folded. Jack asked, "So hear any word on that Somebody you know?" I replied, "No, he was just a jackass." Jack nodded not saying another word. I then heard someone behind me. "What made him a jerk?" I turned to find Spot staring at me waiting for an answer.

I replied, "He didn't really like me, and you should probably know, he is from Brooklyn." Spot's eyes flashed with anger. He asked in anger, "Who told ya that!" I replied, "I just figured that since it was no one is Manhattan." Oh, Skittery owns me big time...Spot calmed down and asked, "Oh, who do youse think it is?" I answered, "I don't know, and don't care." I got up and went upstairs.

Spot's Point Of View

I watched her go. I wanted to tell her that I was the one sending her letters....and that I love her... But I can't. My rep is way too important. But I love her. No. I can't. Just want to hug her and kiss her. No. But I can't. She doesn't love me, she is not wearing her guitar pick and ring...I was snapped out of my deep thoughts when Jacky boy asked me, "So Spots wheahs youse new goil of the week." I answered, "Don't have one." Jack heard the tone in my voice and didn't ask any further questions. I said, "Well Ise goin." Jack nodded as I made my way out. But I didn't go back to Brooklyn. I walked to Central Park to find Skittery and that Emma goil. Looks like they were just ending their date, seeing in as she was leaving. When she was gone, I walked up to Skittery. He saw me and glared at me. Skittery said, "What are youse doin heah?" I replied, "What a guy can't play poka in Manhattan?" Skittery warned, "Youse betta not of even talked to Mandy." I said angry, "Oh, don't worry, she left before Ise could tell her that Ise love her, like some lovesick puppy." Skittery said, "So youse still love her do ya, what about back in Brooklyn?" I growled, "Just cause my rep is important doesn't mean Ise don't love her anymore cause Ise got news fore youse buddy, Ise do." Skittery asked, "Then just tell her." He walked away. Maybe...I should tell her...then...just maybe she would feel the same way...and she can move to Brooklyn...and we would love each other forever...snap out of it Spot, this goil is makin youse soft. I was about to head back to Brooklyn, but it started raining. Damn rain. It started thundering so I made my way back to the Manhattan lodging house. I said as I entered, "Heya Jacky boy can Ise stay heah tanight?" Jack said, "Alright...but the only bunk left is next ta Mandy's bunk. My stomach dropped. Next...to Mandy...great...just great... I nodded and went upstairs. I stripped off my wet shirt showing my bare muscle skin. I sat down on the bunk right near Mandy's about a a few inches apart for a walkway. She didn't notice me. Notice me, god damn it! But she still remained involved in her music book. I finally asked, "What ya readin?" She answered not looking up, "Music..." I nodded. This was going to be harder than I thought...
