What Now Chapter 16
August. The last month of summer vacation. Stacy was not ready for the fall season and definitely was not ready to get back to her regularly scheduled college classes the following month. But, life must go on and all good things must come to an end. Only for a few months in this case. The gang spent their last few days of summer swimming and doing other summer activities. One Wednesday night, on the 8th. Pizza Steve and Stacy were lying in bed watching a movie after a long day of swimming.
They were both quietly watching the movie when Pizza Steve said "I just realized..." "What?" "When you said you couldn't read because of the sun." "Yeah... What about it?" "We were in the shade... In fact, the sun was covered by a cloud for a few minutes." "Uh... yeah... but... um... Fine! You caught me! I lied." "Why?"
Stacy hopped off her bed and went to the night stand by her bed. She opened it and pulled out a pair of blue glasses. "I wear glasses, because I have problems reading." "Why didn't you tell me?" "It was just never mentioned but I also thought you'd make fun of me." "I wouldn't do that. I don't care that you wear glasses." "Really?" "Yeah, I don't mind. Put them on, I want to see what they look like on you." Stacy put them on, and twirled her hair, nervously waiting for Pizza Steve's reaction. "Those look good on you!" "You think so?" "Yeah! Get over here!" Stacy hopped back on her bed, Pizza Steve grabbed her and kissed her.
The next day, Uncle Grandpa was out helping kids so Stacy decided to cook lunch for Pizza Steve. She was on the counter when Pizza Steve came into the kitchen. "Hey Cici, what are you up to?" "I'm cooking lunch for you!" "Oh, are you sure you want to do that?" "Of course! What do you mean?" "You not exactly the best cook." "Don't worry this will be nothing like the pancakes! I'm making some grilled cheese sandwiches." "Alright... Don't burn them!" Pizza Steve laughed.
Pizza Steve sat at the table and waited for Stacy to finish cooking. Once the sandwiches were ready, Stacy brought them over to the table. "Here you go!" Stacy exclaimed, placing a sandwich in front of Pizza Steve. He hesitated before picking up the sandwich and taking a bite. Stacy waited nervously for his response. "It's good." He said. "Yes!" Stacy sat next to him and ate with him.
Later that afternoon was pretty boring, Uncle Grandpa was still out helping kids. Pizza Steve and Stacy were on the couch watching TV. They weren't really paying attention to the TV so Pizza Steve grabbed the remote and turned it off. "Ugggghhh. There's nothing to do!" Stacy groaned. "Maybe not nothing..." Pizza Steve claimed as he hopped off the couch. "What do you mean?" Pizza Steve just smirked at Stacy. Stacy hopped off the couch, and as soon as she did, Pizza Steve grabbed her hand and started towards Stacy's bedroom. "I got something interesting..." He said as they walked into her room. He closed and locked the door.
"I'm not sure if I should be excited or nervous about what you're talking about..." Stacy said while Pizza Steve walked over to her bed. "Be excited." He whipped out a pair of hand cuffs. "Oh..." "Oh?" "I.. I just... I *nervous laugh* I thought it was going to be something else..." "Did you want it to be something else?" "No! I thought it was going to be worse..." Stacy fanned herself with her hand as she joined Pizza Steve in her bed.
Pizza Steve cuffed their hands together before getting busy... After, they were catching their breath and Pizza Steve sat up to look for the key. He started to panic when he couldn't find the key. "What's taking so long? Where did you put the key?" "I... Uh... Ooh, oops." "What? What do you mean oops? Did you lose it?" "I left it on the bed before we started." "No..." Stacy groaned.
They crawled all over the bed looking for the key but to no avail, it wasn't there. "What do we do?" "We're going to have to take everything off my bed..." "Ugh." They took all the blankets and sheets off Stacy's bed. "What? It's not here..." Stacy said, puzzled. They started to shake the sheets and blankets to see if the key would fly out. Then suddenly "Pizza Steve! Stacy!" It was Uncle Grandpa calling for them from the living room. "Oh, this is not good!" They shamefully walked to the living room. "Yeah..?" They both said with nervous smiles.
Uncle Grandpa noticed the hand cuffs and was quiet for a minute. "Sooo... What did you two do today?" "Oh. Uh... Nothing really. There wasn't anything to do." Stacy insisted. "Nothing, huh?" "Yep! Nothing!" Pizza Steve added. "Well..." Stacy started. Pizza Steve looked over at her, thinking she was going to tell about what they just did. "I made Pizza Steve some lunch since you were out for the day." "That was nice of you." "Yeah. Well! We're going to go play video games in my room!" Stacy exclaimed, then they went back to Stacy's room. "Did you see that, Belly Bag?" Uncle Grandpa asked. "Yep, they're stuck together because they lost the key." "Yep..."
"I don't think he noticed." Pizza Steve said. "Yeah, it could've been worse." They went back to looking for the key. Another hour passed and they still hadn't found the key yet. Stacy lied down on the floor as she got real frustrated. She noticed a glare come from under her bed. Stacy sat up and looked under her bed. "Oh you've got to be kidding me!" She yelled as she was under her bed. "What?" Stacy came out from under her bed with the key in her hand. "All that time, and it was just under my bed!" "Ugh!" They went to unlock the hand cuffs but the key didn't work. "Why won't this work!?" Stacy shouted in anger as she violently turned it repeatedly. "Let me see that." Pizza Steve said as he snatched the key from Stacy. He went over to her closet door, put the key in, and turned it. It worked, and locked the closet.
"No!" They shouted. They dropped down to the floor. "I say we give up and just live like this." Pizza Steve insisted. "Let's ask Uncle G." "No! He'll ask what we were doing!" "Then we'll say we were trying something out. But truthfully, we don't have to tell him, it's out business." They went out to the living room. Uncle Grandpa was watching TV on the couch. "Hey Uncle G." They both greeted. "Hey little slices. What's going on?" "We're stuck, we need your help!" Stacy said. "Alright." Uncle Grandpa whipped out a hair pin and unlocked them. "Why didn't I think about that? I have tons of those!" Stacy exclaimed.
They went back to Stacy's room and put her bed back together. When they were done, they hopped on the bed to relax for a bit. Stacy grabbed her phone and found a pleasant little surprise waiting for her. "Oh! This is better than under the bed!" She fumed. The key was under for phone the whole time.
The next day was a Friday. Stacy had to work but had the whole weekend off. The gang had plans to go to the mall on Saturday, and once Stacy got off work Friday afternoon the gang went to the library to hang out since they had nothing else to do. Mr. Gus sat at a table with a stack of books to read. Uncle Grandpa was looking at books in the children's section, and Tiger was reading some teen novels. Pizza Steve and Stacy were running around playing hide and seek.
Mr. Gus stopped them a couple times when they ran past him. They hated reading, and didn't even want to go to the library. When Mr. Gus made them stop running around, Pizza Steve and Stacy found a computer to mess with. Once Mr. Gus caught them messing around on the computers, he made them stop. Pizza Steve and Stacy sat on some nearby chairs. "This sucks!" Stacy whispered. "Why'd we have to come to the stupid library?" Pizza Steve added.
A few minutes passed before Pizza Steve and Stacy fell asleep in the chairs. When it was time to leave the library, Uncle Grandpa picked up Pizza Steve; Mr. Gus picked up Stacy, and they headed back to the RV. They put Pizza Steve and Stacy in their beds to get some rest. Stacy woke up before Pizza Steve a couple hours later. She went to the kitchen to get a snack then went to wake up Pizza Steve. She woke him up, then they went outside to ride Pizza Steve's speedcycle for a little bit before dinner.
When dinner was ready, they went inside to eat. After dinner, Stacy took a warm bubble bath in her bathroom and Pizza Steve watched TV on her bed while Stacy was in the tub. Stacy got out of the bath, got into super soft pajamas, and joined Pizza Steve in her bed. They cuddled until they fell asleep in each other's arms. The next morning was very slow. Pizza Steve and Stacy went swimming for about an hour than sat around bored, they had at least two hours before it was time to go to the mall.
"You'd think I'd have a bunch of things I want to do since I'm always at work and don't have time to do things I want but, there's nothing I want to do. I'm not surprised that you're bored though." Stacy said. "What do you mean?" "You're always sitting around at home, of course there's nothing you want to do. You've probably done it all now." "That's not true! I'm always going with Uncle G to help kids." "Oh yeah? Try being at work for hours, not having the option to do cool things at home." "Maybe I will try. I'll go to work with you on Monday." "No, forget it." "No! I'm going to work with you. We'll see how hard you have it." "Alright, fine. This will be interesting."
The gang headed for the mall around noon, and spent the rest of the day there. They ate lunch and dinner at the food court. They all gathered around the TV to watch a movie when they got home. Pizza Steve and Stacy went to bed late, and slept in the next morning. Even when they did wake up, they cuddled for at least an hour before they got hungry. When they went to the kitchen, Uncle Grandpa put together a couple bowls of cereal for them before heading out for the day to help kids.
Pizza Steve and Stacy had gotten bored of swimming since it's all they really did for the last few days. So, the chilled in Stacy's bed and watched some sad movies. As they were watching movies, Pizza Steve heard Stacy crying. "What's wrong?" He asked. "It's just so sad." She sobbed. Pizza Steve pulled her closer and wipped her tears. He grabbed the remote and turned on some more comedic movies. They stayed in bed and watched movies the whole day. When it was getting closer to their bedtime, Stacy took a quick shower. She suggested Pizza Steve do so as well, since he insisted on going to work with her the next morning.
They slept in Stacy's bed that night and had to get up at 6am. Stacy got all dressed and ready before waking up Pizza Steve. When she got him out of bed, they stopped at the kitchen to grab some quick breakfast. They rode Pizza Steve's speedcycle to the dinner. Right before they went in, Stacy snatched Pizza Steve's shades. "Hey!" He shouted. "Sorry, no shades at work. Dress code." Stacy put the sunglasses on the seat of the speedcycle, and they went inside. Stacy introduced Pizza Steve to her boss and informed her that Pizza Steve was watching for the day. Stacy's boss was fine with it and thought it was very cute of Pizza Steve to come watch his girlfriend at work.
Stacy had planned on Pizza Steve helping her some, but he mostly just sat around. Stacy didn't get off until 5pm and Pizza Steve was already bored at 11am. While Stacy was too distracted with waiting people, Pizza Steve snuck away to go take a quick nap on his speedcycle. When Stacy noticed Pizza Steve was gone, she went to look for him. She searched everywhere, and his speedcycle was the last place she looked. "What are you doing?" She asked. "Sleeping." "Yeah, why?" "Because, I'm tired." "You don't think I'm tired? I would love to take a nap right now, especially since I'm the one working." "You're the one with the job." "You're the one that insisted on coming to work with me." Pizza Steve groaned as he got up and followed Stacy back inside. Instead of sitting around, Pizza Steve allowed Stacy to show him how to be a waiter.
When they finally had a lunch break, Pizza Steve and Stacy went outside to eat. They didn't have long to eat, then they had to head back inside. Once it was finally 5pm, Pizza Steve and Stacy went back home and arrived just in time for dinner. They told their friends about their day as they ate. Later that night, Stacy had to go to bed early because she had to return to work again the next morning. Stacy worked everyday that week and would be exhausted when she got home.
That Saturday night, the gang went to the arcade for a few hours. They had plans to go to the movies after playing some games, but Stacy was too tired. Pizza Steve walked her back to the RV and met the rest of the gang at the movies once he made sure Stacy arrived home safely. They got home late and when Pizza Steve went into Stacy's room, he found her fast asleep in her bed. She had been doing stuff on her laptop and fell asleep. Pizza Steve closed her laptop, put it on her desk, and tucked her into bed. Pizza Steve decided to just let Stacy get some sleep and slept in his own bed that night.
Since Stacy had fallen asleep so early, she woke up early. She had an hour before she had to leave for work. Stacy got out of bed and went to wake up Pizza Steve. "Goodmorning!" She exclaimed as she got in Pizza Steve's face. "Hey sleepyhead." He replied as he stretched and yawned. "How was your movie last night?" Stacy asked. "It was good." Stacy sat by Pizza Steve as he laid in bed. "Wanna go see what Uncle G made for breakfast?" Pizza Steve asked, breaking the silence. "Sure!" They got up and made their way to the kitchen. Uncle Grandpa made oatmeal that morning. As soon as they finished eating, Stacy went back to room to listen to music and play with Cali. She was in her room for about an hour before Pizza Steve came in looking for her. "Hey babe. Watcha' up to?" He said as he entered the room. "Nothing much, just hanging with Cali." Pizza Steve walked over and began to pet Cali.
"I can't believe she hasn't tried to eat you yet." "She's a trained duck, Pizza Steve!" "So she's trained not to eat you?" "Yes. However, she is trained to do what I say so don't push it." She smirked. "Where did your Grandma find her?" "She told me she found her all alone by a lake and that Cali wouldn't leave her alone once she gave her some bread. She watched the other ducks reject Cali so she took her home." "So, Cali didn't try to eat her?" "Nope, she wasn't sure why but trained her anyway so it wouldn't happen." "Why do you want a kitten if you have a duck already?" "I've always wanted a cat! Just because I have a duck doesn't mean I want a cat any less!" "Well anyway, how about we take Cali outside?" "I don't know remember in Italy?" "We can put her on a leash or tie her up." "I'll put a leash on her but I'm not tying her up!" Stacy put Cali's leash on then they went out to the front yard to hang out for the rest of the day. When the sunset, Stacy and Pizza Steve went inside. Stacy gave Cali a bath while Pizza Steve watched TV on her bed.
That upcoming week; Stacy worked on the 20th through the 24th. At the end of the week, she slept most of the day on Saturday and Sunday. After the weekend she worked on Monday but then every other day that week. Luckily, she didn't work on Thursday, because that was their anniversary.
On Thursday, Pizza Steve and Stacy planned to re-create the night they got together. They were going to have a candle light dinner in the ballroom then dance late into the night.
On the last day of the month, Stacy worked early but got off around noon. So, after work, Pizza Steve and Stacy hung out at the mall. Then later that night they stayed up late fooling around and flirting until they fell asleep.
