3rd Person
Davey holds up a paper, yelling out exaggerated headlines trying his best to sell all of his papers. He walks down the familiar street and stops at the all too familiar bakery and peers in, keeping his distance.
His eyes immediately landed on her. The girl he has been secretly crushing on every since his mother invited her over for dinner. Her enchanting hazel eyes and luscious brown hair added up to the most beautiful girl he has ever laid his eyes on.
She lived in the apartment next door to his family, and he went to the same school as her before he had to leave to become a newsie, so he saw her often, but he could never have enough courage to talk to her.
"Have a nice day," she smiles as the customer she was currently helping grabbed his food and left. Her eyes watched the customer before finding Davey watching her. She giggled and turned away as Davey looks away blushing. He turns away and begins to leave before he tripped over his own feet sending him to the ground. Becca, having seen the whole thing, rushed out to help him.
"Are you alright?" she asks worridly, helping Davey to his feet.
"Ye-yeah, I'm- I'm fine," he stuttered picking up his papers with her help. Once all of his papers were collected, they both stood up, wiping the dirt off their clothes before she spoke up.
"Well, I better get to work-"
"Wait, Becca?" Davey cuts her off, grabbing her attention before he continued, "I was wondering if you maybe wanted to come to a small newsie get together at Medda's tonight." Davey scratched the back of his neck in a nervous way as he impatiently waited for her response.
"Sure," she smiles. "I'll see you tonight," she told him before she gets back to work. He smiles and turns away before he excitedly tries to finish selling his papers.
She hummed while she worked with her radiant smile plastered on her face for the world to see. She was more than happy that Davey finally asked her out. Even though they barely talked, she has fallen for his bright blue eyes and dazzling smile, but she never thought she would ever have a chance with him.
....
Becca climbs the stairs leading to the get together eager to get inside. She could hear the laughter and the yelling from behind the double doors. And as she opened them, she was immediately greeted with the smell of cigars as the noise seemed to double. She looks around seeing newsies of all ages, some of them with their own girls.
Her eyes finally found Davey across the rather large room sitting with a few other newsies and girls. She could recognize one of the girls as Sarah making her feel more comfortable knowing at least one more person. He raised his head, his eyes meeting hers in an instant as a smile spread across his flawless face.
"Hey," she smiles giving Davey a small hug.
"Hey," he replies before letting you go. "Guys, this is Becca. Becca, this is Jack, you know Sarah, Spot, Skittery, and Abby," Davey introduces them before taking a seat. Becca sat next next to him, in between him and Abby, who happened to be Skittery's girl.
"So, how long have you and Davey been together?" Abby turns to Becca, starting a conversation.
"We're not together. We're just friends," Becca tells her making Davey's heart break with every word making him wish he didn't listen in on their conversation.
The girls continue to converse, every once in a while putting a word or two into the boys' conversation. The night ended too soon for both his and her liking, and then it was time to leave.
"I'll walk you home," Davey suggests leading her out after everyone exchanged 'good-bye's. They make small talk on the way to her apartment, but before they could walk inside, Davey stopped her.
"Becca, wait," he called before she looked to him, giving him her full attention. "I don't want to be your friend," he tells her.
"What do you mean?" she questions hoping she didn't do anything wrong.
"I want to be the person who holds you while you sleep or when you just need someone. I want to be the person you think of when you wake up and think of before you fall asleep. I want to be yours," he stops before continuing. "I've liked you ever since my mom had your family over for dinner," he finishes looking up at her hoping for the reaction her desperately needs.
"I like you, too," she smiles stepping closer to him making a smile appear on his face. Their faces were only centimeters apart, teasing Davey with the proximity.
Not being to control himself any longer, he crashes his lips into hers. She kissed back, raising her hands to the back of his neck pulling him closer. Their lips moved in sync making her knees grow weak before they both pulled away.
"Becca, will you be my girl?" Davey asks keeping her close to him.
"I thought you'd never ask."
