Bell's POV
After searching for what felt like hours, I soon found my way back to Manhattan and then to the lodging house. I walked up the stairs to get ready. All of the other newsies already left to sell papers. I soon got ready and left to get my papers.
I sold almost all of my papers by noon. I continued walking down one of the streets yelling believable headlines. As I wandered further and further away from the center of Manhattan, less people walked by me. My eyes looked all around me to find people to sell my last two papers to. It began getting darker, so I started walking back hoping to sell them on my way back. My walk back was silent, well who was I going to talk to anyway. I hummed softly as I walked. Until I saw a figure about 70 feet in front of me. I stopped walking and tried to make out who the figure was a he walked towards me.
60 feet I could see his tall frame
50 feet I could see his disheveled hair
40 feet I could see his face
Skittery
I threw my papers down and ran towards him. He saw me and stopped walking waiting for me to come to him. With each step I took, I remember every question that fills my mind every night. I finally catch up to him and wrap my arms around his neck as he holds my waist and spins around. I sob softly as I hold on relieved that he's here. That he is with me. We stay like this for what feels like forever but I don't mind. I want to be in his arms forever. I want him to always be with me forever. Everything around us seems to disappear as I try to bring him as close to me as possible. I never want to let go. I never want to go another minute without him.
He let's go of my waist and I get the hint that our little embrace is over. I let go of him and stare into his eyes as he stares back at me. One of his hands cup my face as he leans in and I meet him halfway. Our kiss was filled with much passion yet need at the same time. I didn't realize how much I actually missed his lips against mine until he kissed me. And how he cups my cheek while kissing me. We both broke away trying to catch our breathes. He smiled down at me which I gladly returned. I grabbed onto his neck and kissed him again. I moved my fingers through his hair as he held onto me more. Even though both of us haven't said a word yet, I'm guessing he already knew what I'm going to say. We pulled away.
"I missed you." he whispered.
"Oh did you now?" I joked and he laughed in return.
"I missed you too." I whispered back.
"I love you." he said the three words that have been on my mind since he left.
"I love you too." I smiled. "I'm so sorry." I wrapped my arms around him. His arms wrapped around my waist.
"It's okay. I forgive you." He replies. "I missed you"he repeats.
"I missed you, too. I love you" I repeat.
"I love you too." He replies to me as we let go of each other. We start walking away as he kisses my head. I don't care about the papers I left down the street. I have Skittery back. And that's all that matters.
A-N- They are back together!! I know it was all sappy but I had to put it in there. What can I say? I'm a hopeless romantic when it comes to Skittery! He's my favorite!! Vote, comment, and read!! Thank you all!! Love you all!!
