Hidden Desire
Chapter 7: Strange Ways to Tell Someone You Love Them
I placed my book down to see Spot in the next bunk asleep. Was he there the whole time? I shrugged and pull the blankets over myself. I then heard Spot mumble something in his sleep it sounded like, "Mandy...Mandy...Irish..." Uh...okay...that is very very strange...oh well...I turned over to my side and in minutes I fell asleep. Hours later I woke up from the sunlight that was coming through the window. I pulled the blankets and sheets off of my me and sat up. Spot was still asleep. I decided to not wake him and walked into the washroom. I turned on the sink and started washing my face. I heard someone come in, I glanced up to find Skittery. I said, "Hey Skittery, how was your date with Emma?" Skittery answered, "Uh, it was fine..." I turned off the sink, "Just fine, after all I did for you." Skittery laughed, "Fine, it was okay then fine, it was great, Ise think Emma really likes me, thanks ta god." I replied, "God was very happy to help." I walked out of the washroom and to my bunk to fetch my clouthes. Spot was awake but didn't see me, his back was turned. I made one noise and he jumped and turned around. I said, "Woah, what are you so jumpy about." Spot shot back, "Nothing." He walked out so I got dressed. When I was finished I went downstairs to find Spot was still there. What is he selling here? Once I was about to head off to the office someone grabbed my arm. I turned around to find Spot staring at me. He asked, "Youse selling wid anyone taday?" Before I could answer Skittery came by my side and said, "Yeah, wid me." Spot said, "Alright whatevea." He stepped outside. I asked Skittery, "What was that all about?" Skittery shrugged, "Come on let's get our papes."
Spot's Point of View
I had the most awesome dream I've had in a long time. Mandy and I were in Brooklyn...we were in my room...kissing...wonderful...As I got up glanced over at Mandy's bed to find it empty. I took my shirt put it on me. Found my pants and pulled them over my long johns. Mandy...wonder if...I should...start hitting on her...giving her hints...But I heard a noise behind me. I jumped and turned around. I saw Mandy kneeling beside her bunk. She said, "Woah, what are you so jumpy about." I said right away, "Nothing." I wasn't about to tell her Ise had a dream about her...I left leaving her to get dressed. If my plan was going to work then I have to stay in Manhattan as long as possible. I waited for her to come down, which was in a matter of seconds. She looks really great in the morning...stop...remember plan...I saw her about to head out but I grabbed her arm. She stopped and turned around. Mandy shot me a confused look. I asked, "Youse selling wid anyone taday." But before she could answer Skittery was at her side. He said, "Yeah wid me." I replied, "Yeah whateva." Damn, guess Ise gonna get her anotha way...
My Point of View
The gates opened and Skittery and I got our 100 papes. I said, "Really what is going on with Spot, acting weird around me." Skittery just shrugged and started yelling out headlines. I could tell he was hiding something, but I decided to leave it at that for now. After an hour went by Skittery and I went into Tibby's. I took a seat and ordered some food. The Tibby's door opened and I saw Spot sat next to me. I didn't take notice to him anymore since Skittery started distracting me. Skittery said, "soooo...hows life." I answered, "Okay..." Then I felt something stroke my foot. I jumped a little. But the unknown object kept playing with my foot. I then felt a hand on my knee. Holy shit! I got up and said to Skittery, "Uh, gotta go..." As I left I thought, My god, who was that teasing me?
Spot's Point of View
Once I finished selling I saw Mandy and Skittery going into Tibby's. The only reason why Skittery is close to her is cause he doesn't want me ta get ta her...we'll just see bout that...I walked into Tibby's getting many greetings, I nodded at all of them. Then I saw the both of them sitting at a table near the window talking. I then decided to make my move. I sat next to Mandy who only gave me a glance then started talking to Skittery again. I stroked her foot with my foot. She jumped a little. It might be working...god she is beautiful...I then decided to make another move. I put my hand on her knee. She jumped again. She then got up and said, "I gotta go." She left, she looked a little freaked. I went after her getting a glare from Skittery. I think I got her right where I want her...
