Hello =) here is the next chapter for Tornado. Thanks to everyone who reviews! You make me want to keep going! Enjoy the chapter! =)
Jeanette could not decide what to wear. There were so many pretty clothes in the dresser drawer, but she wasn't sure how they would look on her. She had already taken out most of the shirts, and some skirts, but she couldn't find a good match. She didn't want to go out looking like a wreck. She finally settled on a jean skirt, and a simple purple t-shirt, which reminded her of how she used to dress when she was younger. Simon also had an issue on decided what to wear, but he chose clothes that reminded him of his childhood, like Jeanette. They searched around the hotel room for the car and room keys, and finally found them after turning the whole apartment upside-down. After running around the rooms for an hour, they were both exhausted. And now, they had to go do the grocery shopping. Jeanette stood in one place for a moment, attempting to catch her breath, and then Simon approached her. He kissed her, and she once again found herself out of breath.
"You always take my breath away," she told him.
"And you take mine,"
"My heart belongs to you,"
"Mmhmm," he said, hugging her.
"Hey, do you know why the wedding ring goes on the ring finger of the left hand?"
"I already know, but tell me anyway,"
"What's the point if you already know?"
"I love the sound of your voice,"
"You make me melt inside, you know,"
"I know. You do the same thing for me. Now, please tell me why,"
"Because the only vein that connects to the heart is in the ring finger of the left hand."
"You made it sound way better than the person who originally told me that,"
"Thank you! Not only do you make me melt, you also make me blush,"
"And you look so adorable when you blush,"
"You're only making me blush deeper!"
"I know. And like I said, you're adorable when you blush,"
"And you are the sweetest person on earth. You are going to give me cavities, because of all of the sweet things you say to me,"
"I don't want to ruin the moment, so I won't tell you the truth about cavities,"
"I already know the truth. I should've said high blood sugar."
"Well I appreciate the comment, regardless,"
"You leave me speechless,"
He kissed her again.
"And you take my breath away," she said.
"We really have to go food shopping. Don't get me wrong, I could stay here all day with you, and I most definitely would, but we really have to go,"
"I know," she sighed. "Let's go find our car,"
They walked out of the hotel room, and Simon locked the door behind him, taking note of the room number. Jeanette waited, and then he walked down the hallway, his arm resting around her shoulders, and her arm wrapped around his waist. They held each other close, as if to never let go. They walked into the elevator, and pressed the button labeled "Lobby". They were on the twenty-fifth floor. The elevator slowly inched down the shaft, and they stepped out into the lobby. Which they didn't recognize. Several people greeted them, but they only waved back, for they didn't recognize anybody.
"Mr. and Mrs. Seville!" the voice of a female called out. A blond haired, green-eyed woman was running up to them. She was very thin, and there was an eerie look about her. Her name tag read "Giselle".
"I have this for you. I suggest that you wait until you have enough information to open this," she held out a small, square box.
Jeanette reached her arm out and took the package. "Thank you," she replied.
"Remember, if you need help, call me. I'm always available for the two of you,"
"Uh, thanks again,"
"No problem," she turned around and walked away.
"That was odd," Simon said as they walked through the doors of the hotel.
"Tell me about it,"
They walked into a large parking garage.
"Hey, look! The parking spaces have room numbers on them!" Jeanette exclaimed.
"We can find our car that way, I guess,"
They wandered around the parking lot.
"I found it!" Jeanette yelled.
There was a blue BMW parked in a space marked "2536", which was their room number. Simon pressed the button on the key, and the doors unlocked.
"I guess its ours," he said, climbing into the drivers side. Jeanette climbed into the passenger side, and Simon put the key in the ignition. He slowly backed out of the space, and then drove out of the garage.
"Where am I going exactly?"
"I have no idea. Maybe we can ask the GPS?"
Jeanette typed in supermarket on the GPS, and a list of grocery stores popped up.
"Here. The closest one is only a mile away." she pressed the button, and it gave them the directions to the store. They drove out of the beach area, and into town. It didn't take long before they arrived at the supermarket, which was surprisingly empty.
"I guess everyone is at the beach, on this hot day," Jeanette concluded.
"I don't have to be at the beach. I'd rather be with you,"
"Once again, you leave me speechless,"
He parked the car, and they got out. Simon locked it behind him, while Jeanette got a shopping cart.
"What exactly do we need?" she asked.
"I have no clue. Maybe we should just go down every aisle and see what we might need. We don't want to be here everyday getting something different. We could just stock up now."
"I like that idea. It will work,"
The first area in the store was the produce section. They picked out the fruit and vegetables they needed, for dinner and snacks. They went through the whole store in no time. Their team work got them through the store faster than if they would've went alone. Before they knew it, they were in the checkout line. Simon was loading things onto the conveyor belt, when Jeanette saw something out of the corner of her eye.
"Uh, Simon? I'll be right back,"
"Ok," he replied, slightly confused.
Jeanette walked over to a magazine rack. She saw a magazine that certainly wasn't new. It was dated "twenty-twelve", the year she was a senior in high school. The year the tornado happened. On the cover was her, her sisters, Simon, and his brothers. She picked up the magazine, and before reading it, decided she had to buy it. Especially since the other magazines were all dated "twenty-seventeen".
"Simon, look at what I found!" she exclaimed, holding her prize. "The date is from twenty-twelve. It has to be fate that I found it!"
He shrugged. She put it on the conveyor belt, and then walked around to the other side to bag the groceries. Simon pulled out the wallet he had found in a drawer in the kitchenette, which he had assumed was his, considering his driver's license was in it. He paid the check out girl, while Jeanette finished bagging the groceries. She purposely bagged the magazine separately so she could read it on the way home. She put the bags in the cart, and Simon pushed the cart out of the store, Jeanette walking at the same pace as him. She couldn't help but to wonder about the magazine. And Giselle. Maybe that's what Giselle had meant when she said "information". Jeanette decided not to put to much thought into it, and started up a conversation with Simon.
"Do you know what the downside to buying groceries is?"
"Putting them away?"
"Bingo,"
"With a little teamwork, it won't take too long. After all, we were out of the store in forty-five minutes,"
"True. We work so efficiently together,"
"I completely agree,"
They approached their car. Simon unlocked it, and pressed the picture of the trunk on the key. The trunk opened. They put all of the groceries in the trunk except for the bag with the magazine. Jeanette carried that into the front seat with her. She flipped the magazine open immediately. She started reading. She was halfway through the magazine when they were back at the hotel.
"How're we going to do this now?" she asked Simon.
"Maybe next time we should have the grocery store deliver,"
"I didn't think of that,"
"Neither did I. I was too lost in your eyes to think properly,"
She giggled, and blushed.
"Well, there aren't that many packages anyway. How hard can it be?" he asked.
They each took two armfuls of groceries. And Jeanette carried the package that Giselle had given them, and the magazine. They would have to make another trip. They walked through the lobby, and pushed the button on the elevator. The elevator seemed to take forever, but they finally got on. The elevator reached the twenty-fifth floor without any stops. They walked down the hall to their room, and Simon unlocked the door. They gently put the groceries on the floor.
"Stay here. I'll get the rest of the groceries,"
"You don't have to do that. I can help,"
"I insist. Stay here, and don't worry your pretty little face," then he kissed her on the cheek and walked out of the room.
"Well, if he's getting the rest of the groceries, I'm putting all of these away by myself," she said to no one.
She moved all of the bags to the kitchen, and sorted through them. She put everything where it needed to be, making a separate pile for things that had to go in the bathroom, so she wouldn't have to make several trips. After she put all of the kitchen necessities away, she walked to the bathroom and put the bathroom necessities away. Finally, she rubber banded the bags together, and put them in one of the empty cabinets. Just as she finished, Simon entered the hotel room again.
"You didn't have to put all of the groceries away,"
"You didn't have to get the rest of the groceries by yourself,"
He sighed. "I can never win with you, can I?"
"Nope," she said, smiling.
"Isn't the man supposed to do everything for his lady?"
"You do enough for me. You love me, and in that mind, that's enough,"
"I think I should do more for you. You're my princess, and you deserve to be treated like royalty,"
"And you're my prince. You deserve to be treated like royalty, also,"
"Now you're making me blush,"
"Aha, now you know what it feels like!"
"That's it," he said.
He ran across the room, and scooped her up into his arms. Then he spun around in circles.
"Ahh, stop it!" she giggled.
"Never!"
He finally stopped, and then kissed her again.
"First you spin me around, and then you make my head spin even more by kissing me,"
"That's my job,"
He gently put her down on the floor. The room finally stopped spinning after a minute of standing still. Then, they continued to put the rest of the groceries away.
So, how was it? I hope you enjoyed it! As you can probably tell, I've been putting most of my free time into this. So please, review. It means so much. Thanks for reading! Have a great day! Peace, Love and Chipmunks =)
