Oliver Twist continued

My name is Angelica Smith 3 years have passed since I left the gang of pickpockets I am now 18 years old I live with Oliver Rose now lives in another city she sometimes visits us Mr. Branlow has become quite sad he is almost invisible a girl of my age Hannah Oliver goes to his classes of course he has changed a lot he has become a handsome young man but I'm more like a sister to him. I was even enrolled in a college for girls. I sometimes dream about Bill Sykes being hanged, then Oliver runs away and he's hanging from a rope. As usual, I had this dream Oliver came to me, he woke me up, I grab him and put my head on his knees, he strokes my hair.

"You probably need to see a doctor!" He whispers.

I pull him to me and kiss him on the lips I see Nolly's dumbfounded eyes but he responds to my kiss but asks:

"Did you have something with him?"

"With whom, Nollie?" I ask with a sweet smile.

"With Dodger, of course!" Oliver looks seriously at me, I'll have to lie to him again, I calmly answer him:

"We just had a lot of kisses!" Oliver takes me by the chin, looks into my eyes for a long time and says.

"I'm going to Australia tomorrow for a vacation!"

I take him by the shirt and say:

"Are you leaving me alone?"

"I'm only going to go for a few weeks, my uncle himself is sending me to Australia! On some of his cases."

Oliver kisses me and leaves me alone a new day comes, everyone sees Oliver off, he comes up to me and says:

"You just wait for me okay?"

He kisses me, goes to the ship, Hannah takes my arm because she was ordered not to leave me all alone, we go to a bookstore we know, I hear a scream, Hannah runs up to me and cries that her handkerchief was stolen, he was pleasing her mother and purse.

I see a guy 13 years old, he cheekily smiles at us, shows his tongue and runs away, I call Hannah with me and we find ourselves in the wild London slums, Hannah of course starts to panic, then looks at me, I grin at her.

"Ah, I forgot that you know everything here perfectly well!" She waves a relieved hand and laughs.

I see a familiar boy, I catch up with him and pull him to me, he kicks, but Hannah and I run after him for a while, I find myself on the steps that are very familiar to me, the door closes in front of me, I knock and hear a voice.

"Password?"

I call the only password I know, the door opens, I push the boy away, I lift the hem of my dress, I walk confidently, Hannah does not dare to go inside.

"Artful Dodger, I would like to return what belongs to me!I know you're here!"

"Angelica, I'm glad to see you too, dear!"

I raise my head from the Stairs, two young men are looking at me, he is going down the boys is following him.

I'm turning to Jack.

"It seems you wanted to emigrate to America, why did you change your mind?"

Jack curls his snuffbox and pulls back his brown hair with his hand. I can feel his piercing gaze on me. As if he wants to ask how much have I changed? He was wearing plaid trousers, a new coat.

Jack approaches the boy and takes the handkerchief from him, I take it away for a while and Jack and I look at each other without looking away, he and I go upstairs. He's just looking out the open window.

"So you're with Nollie now?" He asks

, "I don't know, like, yes, but he left for Australia today!" I sigh.

"Ha, wow, where did he get to!" Chuckles Jack

"Why didn't you try to contact me?" I ask and peer into his native brown eyes.

"I don't know. I wanted to start a new life!" He blows out several smoke rings.

"Oliver asked if there was something between us, I said that there were a lot of kisses! "I'm talking.

"Did he believe it? Typical Oliver!" laughs Jack.

I approach him from behind, touch his coat and snuggle up to him.

"Maybe the fate of ba is not in vain that brings us together again? "I'm whispering to him.

"Angelica!"Dodger turns abruptly and pulls me to him, then kisses me on the lips, he runs his hands into my hair and I respond to his kiss, he presses me against the wall, I lift my legs and skirt, he greedily kisses me on the neck.

"Angelica, Angelica, are you all right? Have you been kidnapped?" Hannah screams.

"And who is this?" Dodger pulls away from me irritably.

"This is Hannah, She's my friend!"

I go down, they let us go down the stairs, Hannah takes the handkerchief in gratitude and asks:

"How did you manage to take it back? "

"You need to be able to find a common language with all people!" I slap Hannah on the shoulder, take her arm, and we leave the slum in a hurry.
