No own Jimmy!! No own Rhianna:) 3 Kte
Unfaithful
Of course Jimmy's press conference had gone very well indeed. He impressed his interviewers, they were very curious as to who this mystery girl in his life was, but he refused to disclose Tiffany's identity.
He looked great, that was for sure. His hair perfect as usual, his blue eyes shining, in black pants and a blue shirt that really brought them out… She sighed as she turned off the T.V.
She brushed her hair quickly and threw it up into a ponytail and got dressed and was ready for work.
The day was just like any other. No Jimmy mysteriously showed up in the Parlor, but se knew that if she was completely honest with herself, she wanted him to. The day passed slowly, like a turtle. It was impossible to describe it any other way. 9:00, 10:00, 11:00, 12:00, the hours seemed more like years. She played nervously with a lose hair. Couldn't seven come any faster then this??
Tiffany smiled.
" Got a date with Alex tonight?"
" Uhm, yeah, sure!" She lied through her teeth.
" I wonder if he'll purpose! Word on the street is that he's thinking about it! Just think Cinds, you'll be one of the richest women in the world!" She squealed.
Cindy smiled.
" Yeah."
Just then Nick walked in the back, he had a smirk on his face.
" Your really nervous for just going on a date with good ol' Alex," he smiled, as if he knew. Maybe he did know? They were just going as friends, so what was the big deal? Why was she lying? Why did she feel like she had to? Why did she feel like she was being unfaithful?
" I am!" She responded with a well-placed chirp in her voice, she was defiantly a trained actress.
" Well, here are some dishes for you to do my dear, and while you are off thinking about your handsome prince, just remember, you have a choice, you have a life, do what you feel is right," and with that he disappeared out the front door. Nick knew her way too well; he was too gay for his own good.
" What was that about?"
" I have no idea!" She said, and Tiffany just shrugged her shoulders.
And then she looked into the dishwater; Jimmy's bright blue eyes stared back at her. She closed her eyes and she could feel his touch lightly upon her arm, and hear his voice. She stared down into them. Maybe tonight really was more then she was letting herself believe it was, perhaps tonight was really a date…
She had a date with Jimmy Neutron! It was almost too good to be true! But it was, it really was. She smiled to herself because it was, it was reality, and it wasn't just a dream, because tonight at seven p.m. she would be out with Jimmy Neutron, in public.
In public!
At this realization she dropped a plate, and it came crashing down on the floor.
She hadn't thought of this before! It would ruin everything! Alex would break up with her, Tiffany would never speak to her again, Libby would catch on, the whole thing would be ruined, and her love for her ex-boyfriend would be revealed to the world.
She gulped nervously. And not only that, but going on a date with another man, meant being unfaithful to her man. No wonder she felt so dirty about this whole business. She sighed deeply. A choice had to be made this night. A life changing decision, she stared into the dishwater image of Jimmy, his blue eyes sparkled. She had too much; she couldn't give up, for this dream, this apparition.
And with no more of a second thought, she made her decision.
She called Jimmy's cell phone.
" Hello?"
" Hello.. Jimmy this is Cindy, and I have some bad news for you," she said quietly.
" Yes?" His voice sounded so sad… she just couldn't do it she just couldn't do it!
" I'm excited for tonight," was all that she could say.
" I am too Cindy, I am too, but I am really busy right now, so I will see you tonight, okay?"
" Okay," she responded.
She had the right motives and all, but she just couldn't do it! She just couldn't let down her friend like that! That was it, she wasn't being unfaithful, and her mind was just getting carried away. She was just being a good friend, giving the best advice that she knew how. She looked down at her painted nails. Then why on earth did she want to try so hard to catch his attention again?
It was war between logic, and her heart.
This war made the time go a lot faster. Soon six rolled around, and it was time for her to go home.
" Good luck tonight, it will change your life I am sure!" Tiffany called.
Little did they both know how right she was.
When Cindy got home she took a quick shower, losing her problems down the drain. Her sweetest shampoo went in her hair, and she shaved her legs, to perfect, smooth perfection. She then dried off, slipped on the robe from Alex and walked to their closet. She opened the closet and hidden in the back behind everything else, was a dress that she hadn't worn in ages. The dress she had worn on her first date with Alex. She sighed deeply, it was just crying to be worn and she was going to obey. She pulled the plastic cover off of it and laid it down on the bed. Staring at it.
It was a black off the shoulder dress, with a hot pink sash in the middle. And a thin piece of hot pink ribbon decorating the hem and neckline, it was one of her favorite dresses on the face of the planet. She pulled out her black high heels…
First she plugged in her straightener as she blow-dried her hair quickly. Then she put on the dress and plugged in her curling iron. As it warmed up she did her make-up carefully. Spending time on each detail and how each color would blend with another. Then she carefully spiral curled her hair, and pulled half of it up into a clip at the top of her head. Leaving only a few strands of perfectly curled hair near her eyes. She placed on her black necklace with a pink heart at the end, and the matching earrings. She walked to the door and grabbed her white coat. Her heels clicked along the floor. It was exactly six fifty. She walked back into her room, and grabbed her favorite scent, in the travel sized bottle, sprayed herself and then placed it in her purse along with her favorite lipstick and lip gloss. She then stopped in front of a mirror, and she had to stop and stare.
It was the best she had looked in ages. She looked; dare she say it, beautiful? She looked like a princess, and more then that, she felt like one. Just then there was a knock at the door. Jimmy stood there in a tux, with not a hair out of place, looking more handsome then ever. He smiled as he took out a single rose.
" You look stunning," he said as he took her hand and kissed it softly.
" Thank you Neutron, you look pretty good yourself," she responded as she took the rose and put it in a vase.
" Ready?"
" Yes, sir I believe I am," she said as she took his arm bravely and walked with him out the door.
They drove over the skyline, to the sky roof of Jimmy's hotel. It was beautiful!
Set up with white roses with pink tips, and pink roses, and in the center of the table set for two, were a dozen of the most beautiful whit roses she had ever seen, and even in the center of those, was one single red rose. It was a breathtaking sight. Soft lights decorated the garden like surroundings, and a violin softly played. He stepped out of the hover car and she put down her jacket and soon followed.
" Jimmy, this is, amazing!"
He pulled out her chair for her and she sat down. She stared at her surroundings, trying to suck it all in. Candlelight danced upon their faces. She breathed a sigh.
" Thanks," he blushed. " I hoped you would like it."
" Like it? I love it!" She responded. " So what is on the menu tonight?"
" Only the best Fettuccini Alfredo that I could find in NY!"
Cindy smiled and sighed. There was sparkling grape juice too. It was amazing, and of course, strawberries and chocolate.
" Oh Jimmy, I feel so spoiled!"
They talked and laughed about memories, about future plans, about the fights that they had, which meant nothing now, and things that they hoped would happen in the next few days. Finally they had both finished eating.
" So, Jimmy, when do you plan to tell your girlfriend that you love her?"
" When the time is right, just like you suggested."
" Hopefully that goes well, but if you aren't careful, she will lose her patience because I know Tiffany," just then he held up a finger to her lips softly.
" Would you like to dance with me?"
Who could resist that face? She took his hand with a smile of warm acceptance.
The music started softly, and slowly. Just the violin by itself playing Love Me Tender, it was twice in two days!! He took her by the waist, and she buried her face in his shoulder. Inhaling his scent, losing bit by bit of her sense in it. Tonight, Alex did not exist, or so she would try to convince herself. Around the top of the roof they danced.
At the end of the song, she looked up into those mysterious blue eyes and instantly her stomach filled with butterflies…
" Cindy," in one word, all of her last defenses melted away.
" Yes?"
" Can I kiss you?"
The question caught her off guard. Her breath seemed to leave her body. Her mind went blank. All she could hear was can I kiss you? She nodded, numb to every argument that her body was screaming. She knew in that moment, he could steal her heart.
He smiled and placed one finger under her chin. Cindy's heart was going so fast that she could barely see straight, she could hear it in her ears like a bass drum. He softly touched her cheek, and bit his lower lip. She just looked up into his eyes as he pulled her lips slowly towards his, and then, his soft lips ever so lightly touched hers. So lightly that she could barely feel it, electricity shot through her every limb, like a sweet lightning bolt. The breath left her lungs.
He pulled away, but his taste lingered wonderfully on her lips. She opened her eyes; his face was so content, so happy. There was a deep, loving, sparkle in his eyes. In that moment, She loved him; she loved him with everything that she had! He held her heart safely in his palm.
Just then, without thinking, she pulled his lips forcefully back into hers passionately, and that's when everything began to go hazy…
But just then she stopped. He stared at her confused.
One tear fell down from her eye. What was she thinking?
" Jimmy, I'm sorry, but this is wrong! I have a boyfriend and you will soon have a finance!"
He sighed and nodded.
" I agree, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean for it to go that far," he responded quietly.
Tears fell down her cheeks in a steady stream as she sat down on a chair.
She loved him! She really loved him!!! She really loved this stupid genius in front of her, with the eyes like sapphires, and the brain of Einstein. She did with everything inside of her. She had never been over him, and she had been stupid to think so. She closed her eyes, his lips were so amazing, like lips of an angel!
" Dang Vortex you kiss good," he said with a smile. And all she could do was smile back.
" Same to you Neutron, Tiffany is so very lucky," she said as she took the barrette out of her hair, causing her hair to fall down upon her shoulders. Jimmy's eyes stared at her, and she just smiled.
" Yes?"
" You look so beautiful," he responded, as though transfixed.
" Oh, thank you," she said, as a blush crept upon her cheeks.
" Want something to drink?"
" Water please," she responded. The air outside was so cool and refreshing, it felt so nice on her skin. She took a deep breath as he placed the glass of water in front of her. It was so cold and so tasty. She sighed in happiness. She felt so dirty for cheating on her boyfriend, but at the same time, it was the most wonderful kiss she had ever had. Neutron was defiantly a worthy man to be kissing that way He was sweet, and she had just been caught up in the moment, and more then all else, she loved him.
" What are you thinking Cind?"
She blushed.
" About tonight," she responded honestly.
He nodded.
" I could tell, I am really sorry, if Alex asks, just tell him it was my fault, I was drunk or something like that…"
" But you weren't! It takes two to tango!" Tears fell down from her eyes. If only he could see what was inside her heart he would understand why this was so hard for her. In this one night, she had realized something she had always known, but just denied. Something that had been in her mind as a question, but now was a fact, and she was becoming amazed at how much of a fact it was. She was in love, but not with the man who might purpose in a few days, with this man that was sitting there, staring at her, holding a Kleenex in his hand.
" Here, wipe your eyes.." he sweetly said as he dried her tears. Then he softly kissed her cheek. " There is nothing to worry about my sweet Cindy, he will understand," he whispered. " If he really loves you, he will understand and forgive you," he looked her directly in the eye. "He will," he responded.
" Your right, he will," she said quietly.
She smiled lightly. It was now nearly eleven. The eleven o clock news would be on soon.
" I should get home," she responded as she dabbed her eyes.
"Anything else you want?" he asked as he touched her hand lightly.
" Yeah, some hot chocolate with whipped cream always makes me feel better!" She said with a happy chirp in her voice.
"One hot cocoa with whipped cream coming right up!"
She smiled and made herself comfortable in the chair.
He started to warm up the water.
" Here, why don't you do me a favor and turn on the news?" He asked as he handed her the remote.
" Oh, sure," she responded.
She turned on the huge T.V. and there was the newscaster, Anne Landon.
" Welcome New York to News Night! This is Anne Landon reporting. Tonight's top story, Jimmy Neutron confesses that he might have his eye on someone," Cindy rolled her eyes. Just then Anne's face went wide. " Just a minute folks! It seems as though we have a new update on this story," she said loudly. " Now it's to you Jake," a red haired, well built man appeared on the screen. He was standing in the New York night.
" Well Anne, it seems as though that Jimmy has more then just his eyes on a local girl, tonight he was seen going with a certain Cindy Vortex to his local suite," then there appeared a large photo of Cindy. Cindy stopped breathing. " I have some footage that is to die for! And New York will be the first to see it."
Jimmy had now started to watch.
Sure enough, there they were, dancing on their roof, Cindy felt like she was going to puke. She could almost smell his cologne again, feel his intoxicating touch.. She closed her eyes for a minute. Just then she opened and it showed Jimmy touching her chin lightly. She could feel it, she could! And then it showed their lips slowly meet, in a sweet kiss. She could feel his sweet touch, and in that moment she was on Saturn, how she had felt like she was flying. The video was stopped there.
" It certainly appears as though Jimmy Neutron has picked a mate, and Cindy Vortex, wherever you are, you are one lucky girl," he said with a smile, and now back to you Anne.
" Yes, one lucky girl has finally caught the attention of Jimmy Neutron, it is the same blonde girl that we saw with him at the beginning of the week, you are so lucky!" Uh-oh! And what is this? It certainly seems to me that this Cindy Vortex is the Cindy Vortex that is Alex Caldwin's live in girlfriend! Oh this is a juicy web we have here people! Cindy Vortex has now tangled with the richest man in the world, and one who is not far behind. What a lucky girl she is…" Tears were falling down Anne's face, " And now to the weather."
" Oh my gosh," and just then the water started to boil. It was the sound of her life, falling, crashing and breaking into a million little pieces.
