The Angel of Brooklyn, Bianca Gray [read this if TXT] 📗

you the truth...I think...I think I'm in love with you," I finally said. He looked at me. His eyes searching my violet-blue eyes. Then before I knew what was happening, his lips were mashed onto mine. I pulled away and looked into his blue-gray eyes.
"I think I'm in love with you too, Mattie," he whispered. Did he just say-? I thought.
"But, you've always thought I was a boy," I told him.
"Yeah. But yous a pretty lady," he told me. I laughed.
"So they tell me," I said. He frowned.
"Who says yous pretty?" he asked angrily.
"Just...people," I said shrugging. I smiled at him innocently.
"So, yous a goil," he said looking at me.
"Obviously," I said.
"You know most likely people would buy newspapahs from you 'cause yous a goil out on the streets. Yous probably canst stay with old man Klopp can ya?" he asked me. I shrugged.
"Well...yous can stay wid me," he said pulling my arm. I jerked him back.
"Wait, what about Reggie?" I asked. He frowned.
"What about Reggie?" he asked confused.
"SPOT! HE's my brother! I can't just leave him," I said. Besides he'll punch your face in, I added in my thoughts.
"So? Yous gunna have to leave him someday. Like when you gets married or something," said Spot rubbing his arm sheepishly.
"Spot Conlon, are you saying what I think you're saying?" I asked him.
"Whad do ya think im saying, Mattie? I kinda want yous to marry me..." he said softly. I put up one finger then I turned around and screamed, "OH LORD SPOT CONLON WANTS TO MARRY ME!!!!" and then I turned back around to look at him. He looked somewhat shocked.
"Did you jusd...?" he asked.
"Yep," I said.
"So is that a yes?" he asked.
"That depends," I said. He looked at me confused and wanting me to go on.
"Don't EVER push me off this bridge again," I said sternly.
"Whatever you say, my queen," he said smiling.

EPILOGUE

So, Mattie and Spot, or Spattie as their friends like to say, got married in Brooklyn near the crates. Her brother got to punch Spot's face in and then a letter came addressed to Reggie and Mattie Ricks. Reggie and Mattie opened it together and inside was $150 and a letter from the President saying that their parents were respected greatly. Reggie and Mattie were of course confused and then they saw the other letter that had their parents handwriting on it. It said:

Dear Reggie and Mattie,
If you have gotten this letter that means that we have passed away. We love you dearly, don't ever think any different. We just couldn't tell you this. We didn't work in any factory. We worked for the government. That's why we trained you, you know. In case some bad person tried to kill one of us, you guys had to know how to protect yourselves. We taught you everything we know, so use it wisely. Probably with this letter is a lot of money. Split it between you two. We are so sorry that we couldn't have told you earlier...it was just confidential. Oh and our real names are not Hiedi and Paul. It's Rebecca and Jonathan. I'm sorry we couldn't even trust you with that. We love you.

Love,
Mom and Dad

Mattie cried and Reggie was astonished but when Reggie found out, he wanted to do more than sell newspapers. So he signed up to work in the government. A spy. Reggie had permission to let Mattie know that he was a spy and to send money to her every month. She was going to need it because she had another Conlon on the way....


A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR

So, I wanted to write this story because I was obsessed (still kind of am) with the movie Newsies and the character Spot. Now I don't own any of the characters except maybe Reggie and Mattie. I hope you enjoyed this story, it took a lot of effort and a lot of time. What? It's been...a month? I didn't write as much as I could but I wasn't really feeling the story by the end.

I want to thank winterhead123 for trying to get me to write everyday and write more. I love you, girl!

I want to thank my best friend, Olivia. She gave me a lot of ideas. Not all of them I elaborated on or put in but thanks all the same!

I want to thank my family. You guys encourage me a lot. INSPIRATIONAL!! Ha Ha.

I want to thank Kenny Ortega for directing the movie Newsies. IF it wasn't for you, Mr. Ortega, I don't think I would be writing this right now.

I also want to thank Gabrielle Damon for so darn HOT he is!!! Or was....
