This weather was as Bi-polar as the leader and co-leader of Staten Island Hope thought as she walked through Harlem she didn't even know how she got to Harlem the wind might have blown her or the huge snow flurries. Hope giggled as she stepped in a puddle of slush she scowled. "Oh crap!" She sobbed. Maybe these other 70 papes she'd have to eat. She could sell a few more though. She hated the thought but the weather was horrible and she was sure she could try to convince someone to spot her dinner money. Hope sighed as she walked through the alley. The writing on the walls scared her a little. It was dark and she saw the homeless men gathered by a fire started in a trash bin. Hope walked a little quicker hearing voices behind her. They shouted as she almost ran out the alley looking back as she heard a horse scream as she watched it buck and she ran out of the way dropping all of her papers in a slush puddle.
Hope looked at the papers and sighed she could feel his finger tips burn and her wet toes so the same. The tears came to her eyes yet she wasn't too sure if it was because of the cold or because of fact that she just wasted 70 papes. Hope looked down as her long brown hair fell into her face. She looked at a stoop as she felt a little light headed she walked over to it sitting down resting her face in her hands as she cried softly to herself. This is why she was called Hope, the fault hope in her heart that always will remain Hopeless.

Ryder wasn't much to let weather phase him as he made his way back toward home, he had come a long way from Manhattan today but he had had much business to take care of. He watched as a brunette haired girl walked down an alley, she looked quite familiar as he adjusted his fedora and decided to follow her. He saw the girl get spooked and drop her papes and he walked by the slush puddle looking down, that was alot of papes for a newsie to eat and he knew it, knowing Hysteria that was why he knew she had become a pickpocket when she couldn't fully sell. He shoved his hands in the pockets of his slacks and walked out of the alleyway and saw the girl sit down on the stoop. Now she looked even more familiar, and he knew why, it was Hope. He had fancied her about a week or two ago at the Christmas event at Irving Hall, hadn't gotten much but a kiss from it, but with her that was enough.
He walked over and leaned his side against the brick wall as he kept his eyes covered slightly by the fedora and he glanced over at her,"Rough day? looks like you could use some food, a drink, and a few dollars for eating those papes," he mused as he now flipped up the brim of his hat to fully look at her and he offerred her a genuine smile and a wink.

The sound of the raspy voice made her tears go away and she thought back to Christmas and how she left the guy with a kiss and a thought in his mind. Hope looked up rubbing her eyes as she smiled the snow seemed to slow down a little and she stood up. She looked down kicking some snow and when she brought her blue eyes back to his green she seemed to be in better spirits. She shook a little as she blushed. "Rough? Is a warm day no one wants to read the papes this...this is tragic." Hope corrected as she took his warm hand in hers as she smiled. She thought for a moment its was a while since she last saw Ryder looking him over searching his neck for hickeys before she smiled in satisfaction.
"Yes food and a drink sound amazing with ya Ryder. I've missed you silly, nevah see ya anymoah." She said a bit hyper as she walked with him hopefully to someplace that served steak she was starving she wouldn't let a free meal to go waste. Hope didn't want to assume, nor would she take money from him she rather not be in debt with anyone unless she knew where they would be twenty four seven. It was just a Hope thing, or a pride issue.

Ryder felt her take his hand and when she spoke, he listened, he actually listened, not the fake attention he would give Love or his men, but the focus he gave to Jade when she spoke, that type of listening. He thought for a moment of where he could take her to eat and he knew a good place a few blocks over,"Sounds like a date then beautiful, lemme treat ya to the best place I know round here," he told her as he took off his suit jacket and draped it over her shoulders before wrapping his arm around her shoulders and leading her down the street.
"I missed ya too, jus' been real busy lately lass, I don't mean ta not visit ya trust meh if I had more time in da day ya'd neveh get rid of meh..." he said before soon enough he opened the door to a restaraunt for her and led her inside, he waved to one of the waitresses who just nodded and he led Hope to the best booth in the place in the far back corner where the table had a lit candle in the middle. He sat down and looked her over,"Ya can sit eida next to or across from meh yer choice," he said before he turned to the waitress and ordered their finest bottle of wine.

Hope looked down at her outfit she wasn't suitable for a nice place she didn't want to embarrass him she sighed as he was being so sweet. This was the second time she got his jacket. She walked beside him close he smelled quite nice, not like the lodge house boys thought Angel himself was quite clean. Hope walked looking at the restaurant. It was high end as she bit her bottom lip as he walked in she walked beside him she smiled at the host as she walked with him listening to his words. Hope blushed and giggled a little. "I's a Newsie not da first lady to da Teddy Roosevelt Ry." Hope took a seat next to him and scooted a little closer.
She looked at Ryder a he ordered the wine then she skimmed over the menu they stuff was quite expensive. This place was no 5 cent burger fry combo place. She watched as she wine was poured into glasses as placed in front of her her eyes sparkled in the candle light she had never done this before it was exciting as her hyperactiveness kicked in a little. "Thanks Ryder no one ever treats a goil like meh like dis, though I'm in horrible clothes I feel like the prettiest goil in da woirld." She said as she kissed his cheek and took the glass swirling it in her hand as she watched one of the rich ladies then she mimicked the women and smelled it before taking a tiny sip. Hope giggled a little as she showed Ryder what she was doing mimicking the lady as she took a real sip setting down the glass.

Ryder chuckled at the mimmicking she did and he took the glass and downed his entire glass as well before reaching for the bottle and filling their glasses again."Ya look beautiful in anythin ya wear Hope, its not da clothes dat matteh its the person in da clothes," he said almost charmingly as he looked the menu over,"Ya can have anythin ya want, I suggest the steak with blue cheese crumble, its great, but have whatever ya want," he told her as he handed the waitress his menu,ordering his steak with baked potato and salad before looking to Hope to order.
After the waitress walked away he gently put his arm over Hope's shoulders and looked down into her eyes,"Ya know, I'll give ya meh address so wheneveh ya feel lonely ya can stop by alright? If I aint home, someone can tell ya where I am sound good?" he offered as he sipped on his wine now.

Hope blushed and looked down at his comment maybe he was right, it was the girl in the clothes but she wasn't that excited for goodness sakes she was an Newsie. Hope still liked the comment. She listened to him speak about the steak with the cheese on it she squished her nose a little at the thought of cheese taking away the steak taste. "Anything hmm I'll have steak-tips over salad with Caesar dressing" she said as she handed the woman her menu and she took the glass coping Ryder drinking it down in one gulp. "What like a goil who can out drink you?" She smirked cocky then giggled.
When Ryder put his arm around her she moved closer resting her head on his chest looking up at him feeling mellow. She smiled at his offer. "I's will come by when I's feel like I's can't bare the separation anymoah." She said sarcastically and she knew it wouldn't take long but she wouldn't let him feel that need in his ego. Hope watched as she food was placed in front of them her eyes lit up. "Wow dats a huge proportion I's havn't eaten that much for Christmas and Thanksgiving combined in the last four years." She said honestly picking up the fork tasting the salad as she smiled looking at him nodding her mouth full assuring him it was amazing as it looked.

Ryder grinned, downed the rest of his wine and poured them both more,"We'll see who out drinks who there love," he said. He chuckled at her words when she was presented with her food and he felt kind of bad, he had always been wealthy, he grew up with full meals 3 times a day, snacks when he wanted. He held her close but loosened his arm when she straightened up to eat. He pulled his arm away for a moment to cut up his steak before he put it back over her shoulders, took his fork with his free hand and ate slowly enough to savor it. He smiled at how happy she was, he wished he could take care of her, but he knew she had pride as he did.
"Well wheneveh ya see meh I'll feed ya evereh time, can't let ya starve now can I?" he said with a smile as he ate half his steak and downed his third glass of wine. "Afteh all I'd spoil ya wheneveh given da chance, yer worth spoilin," he said, being abit unRyder like in his sweetness.

Hope took her knife and cut a piece of steak and brought it to her mouth it was really good, before when she had a home she didn't like to eat in front of guys. But being a newsie your lucky if your lodge house has enough supper at night to feed all the kids and she always let the younger ones and the girls go in front of her she didn't mind as long as people were happy. She reached over to the wine glass as it was filled and she downed it. Matching him on his three cups she smiled swallowing what was in her mouth. "I's take that challenge Ry Ry but don't let me fall in that cold snow." She said innocently and wide eyed as she progressed in eating.
Hope listened to his words as he spoke them, her pride stood up as she looked at him licking her lips. "I's don't starve I's..I's eat it just just today." She said looking down as her long hair fell into her face she didn't like to lie to him even if it was to save her ego as she looked at him pouring them both another cup of wine and she took some back. "I's worth spoiling huh?" She smiled and looked at him as she brought the fork with a tomato on it to her mouth looking at him wide eyed now.

He nodded at her words and let her defend her pride as she would,"Yeah yer worth spoilin at least in my eyes," he said as he downed his fourth glass and refilled his glass. He chuckled abit as he finished off his steak and began poking at the potato,"I aint gonna let ya fall in da snow, I'll carry ya back ta da lodge house if I hafta ta make sure ya stay warm," he said. When she looked at him with wide eyes he tilted his head,"Ya ok? Ya aint sick are ya?" he asked, his eyes showing concern as he reached over and felt her forehead with his hand to double check she wasn't getting sick or something, he'd feel an obligation to take her home and nurse her to health if she was.

His eyes gazed at him now glossed over. "You's crazy I's not sick unless you's the doctor." She said faking a cough. She smiled and finished her dinner then looked to the wine taking another sip as she found herself leaning on him a little she looked up. "Your eyes have green in them, so many colors very handsome." She said looking into his eyes blushing a little as she complimented him in an attempt to flirt, wine did that to her she wasn't naturally flirty, she was always protective and shy but flirty? Nope. "You's know I's not like this with anyone consider this a privilege Mistah Ryder." She said being silly and cute now.

Ryder chuckled abit as he downed another glass of wine and held her closer to him looking down at her as she spoke,"I do consider it a privledge Miss Hope... and thank ya fer yer compliments... are ya gettin just a tad bit drunk dere lass?" he asked her,noting the change in her behavior. He chuckled abit it was quite cute that she was flirting with him and he brought a hand through her hair and smiled down at her,"Are ya done eating? Should I carry ya home?" he asked her not wanting to keep her out too late, the last thing he needed was suspicious newsies on his ass for her not getting back at a decent time.
