Not Want, But Need (A Racetrack Higgins Love Story) COMPLETED

Chapter 19: Whateva ya wanna call this

Meg P.O.V.
Once we left the hospital Race started getting very curious. "For the millionth time Meg, why aren't we goin back ta Brooklyn?" He asks. "Ise told ya already Race! Spot's foot got betta and he didn't need us ta take o'er anymore!" I roll my eyes. How much longer can I take of this?
"But, then why is all of our stuff still there?" He turns to me. "It's gonna be personally shipped by Spot's newsies." I look both ways before crossing the road. "Why can't wese go and get 'em ourselves?" He stops. I turn around to look at him, "youse jus came outta da hospital, and youse wanna carry all ya luggage around da city?" He crosses his arms. "I ratha do dat then have Spot look through 'em!"

"Why would Spot look through your stuff?" I ask him. "Why wouldn't he?" "Dat makes no sense." I say as I walk away. "Youse jus gonna leave me hea?" He asks. "Yeah well, if youse not comin then Ise guess dats what youse call it." I continue to walk. Why can't he just get his ass over here and ACTUALLY make it home to the lodging house where it is safe before dark?

"What about us?" He asks. I stop dead in my tracks, "Ise dunno, what about us?" "Are we still, ya know, a thing?" I think about that for a moment. We are just arguing. But if he decides to stand there and doesn't come back to the lodging house then I guess we're not a thing. What are we then? "We are jus arguing, but if youse choose ta keep asking questions dat Ise obviously don't wanna answer right now then no, we ain't." His eyes widen. "Ise sorry," he mumbles and he runs over to me and walks while looking down at the ground.

"Youse is really gullible Higgins, ya know dat?"
"How?" Asks Race.
"Well, youse believe anything that people tell ya. And youse also jus follow and obey, don't fight back." I say.
"I fight back!" He stops. I grab his collar and start to drag him to the lodging house. "No, youse don't."

All was quiet the rest of the way until the lodging house came into view. "Jus how we left it." Race smiles. "Yeah," I whisper. We walk inside and nobody is there. "Where they all at?" Race asks. "Ise dunno? Wanna try Medda's?" I look at Race. "Meg, we just walked all the way from Brooklyn Hospital, just to get back hea, ta leave AGAIN? Ise lucky enough to stay awake right now!" He lays down on his bed. I turn to look where Spot stayed and see his cane still there. I pick it up and play with it. I twirl it in my hand and I feel a cold hand on my shoulder. I turn around to see Race, smiling at me and twist my long blonde hair around his finger. "Race what are youse-" His lips smash into mine and he pulls me closer to him. We lay down on the bed and he lays on top of me. I start to unbutton his vest and he speaks. "Youse sure ya wanna do dis?"
"Ise was savin for the right person, and Ise pretty sure it's you." I smirk.

I finish unbuttoning it and he starts to unbutton mine. He takes the bandage off revealing my bra, and we unbutton each others' pants and he starts at my neck, finding my sweet spot instantly. I start to moan. His soft gentle hands are feeling it's way around my body and unclips the bra. Everything that was once on us was in a pile on the floor...

Y'all are very welcome that I used a time skip!

We are laying on the bed, both breathing heavily until we hear the front door close and a bunch of footsteps coming up the steps. Voices echoing we are rushing to get dressed. I finish and shove Race in a closet as I finish buttoning up my shirt and putting my hair back in my newsie cap. Mush is the first one to walk in. He looks at me and I'm still panting heavily. He starts to laugh.

"Come hea!" He grabs my wrist and brings me up to the roof. "So...how was it?" He asks.

"How was what?" I start to tap my foot.
"Youse know! How's Race? He good? How bout the south side..."
"Mush! Please don't tell Blink!" I beg him. "Ise won't! Didya use protection?" He asks. "Uh...."

"Holy fuck Meg! How much dumber can youse get? In two weeks remind me about this okay?"
"Okay?"
