Dreaming

Sorry this took so long! I went to a conference for the last three days so hopefully you can all forgive me! Sorry. Thank you so much for all the excellent reviews.. Now the first few chapters of this story, are probably going to be a bit slow.. But some fluff will happen if you catch my drift... thnks for reading! All my love, -katie-

After the movie was over, everyone went into the kitchen to have supper.. Well more like toast and jelly... Cindy sat across from him.. As they ate, Cindy 'accidentally' kicked him.. And he looked at her with one eye brow raised and kicked her back. She smiled evilly and kicked him hard in the calf.

" Ow!" he cried unexpectedly. She blushed and went back to eating her toast. Finally everyone else was finished. Now for the second movie, Sheen had somehow convinced Jimmy to watch the Ultra Lord 'action' movie .. Again. Maybe the reason he agreed had something to do with the fact Cindy was here. He laughed at himself as he placed the last dish in the sink and grabbed six more purple flurps' and headed back out to the living room. He glanced at the clock.. 9:00 where were his mom and dad? They probably were still at the duck lovers meeting that took place every other week on Tuesdays. He clicked play and sat with his back resting on the coffee table. He grabbed for his purple flurp and took a sip and set it down next to him...

As the movie continued his mom and dad still hadn't come home, but he supposed that was okay.. And then he got a sudden urge of thirst and reached for his purple flurp, but instead of a soda can, all of a sudden he felt warmth, and he looked down, he had accidentally placed his hand upon Cindys'. She whipped her head towards him with one eyebrow raised.

" Sorry.." he said as he removed his hand. He could feel a blush creeping around the corners of his cheeks. She turned her head back towards the t.v. he studied his hand. His whole hand was burning like it had caught fire or something. He laughed at himself and this stupid infatuation.. but his insides .. Would not stop glowing..

Finally the second movie was finished and it was about 11:30. He stared at the clock. Where on earth were his parents? He said goodnight to Libby and Sheen... who had almost made him puke several times that night due to PDA ... and he said goodnight to Carl and Christy. " Goodnight Carl, Christy.." Carl turned to him with a smile on his face and whispered. " Goodnight Jim.. By the way I saw what happened between you and Cindy..the whole hand thing.." his smile widened as though he knew what was going through Jimmy's head.

" I don't know what your talking about Carl.." he said as he nervously rubbed the back of his neck.

" Oh yes you do to know!" he said. Just then Cindy spoke.

" What does Spewtron know? Last time I checked, it was nothing.." she laughed and he moved so she could get through. Carl smiled once more and walked off.. Now it was just him and Cindy. He looked down into her eyes.

" When did you get so tall Neutron?" she asked stupidly.

He could feel himself starting to blush.

" Umm.. About tonight.." he nervously rubbed the back of his neck again..

" Yes Jimmy.." she said with a certain amount of interest.. Did she just call him Jimmy?

" Umm.. Sorry.. I really didn't mean to embarrass you any.."

" Oh, yeah.. Just don't try it again Neutron.." she said, but he was almost certain that he could hear a tint of disappointment in her voice. " Goodnight Jimmy.." she said with a sweet smile, he could feel his heart melting..

" Yeah.. Night.." and he closed the door behind him, but hurried over to the window and watched Cindy go into her house, and still was watching when a little while later her bedroom light turned on. He let a smile cross his lips... she had no idea of his feelings for her. And if he had any say in it... she never would. He closed his eyes as he sat there on the same window cill that he had that afternoon. He imagined his arms encasing her in his warm embrace.. Hugging her until she could barely breathe.. He shook his head.

Why did he have to let these thoughts control him like this? He knew that he stood no chance with such a girl. She was like the local beauty now days... so how was he even supposed to get close enough to her.. They were practically enemies.. And he knew he could never ever.. Make her love him, like he loved her.. Sure, at one time she might've loved him.. In a school girl crush way.. But he.. He loved her.. More then he had loved anyone, he loved her, before he even knew he liked girls... his insides smiled again. She was just so beautiful, he couldn't really help himself. He leaned his forehead against the window, and the light went out in Cindys' room.. And he so wished he could know what she was dreaming about. He finally got back up to his feet, and went up to his room. He undressed and lay in bed.. Staring at the fan spinning like a wheel.. He really was beginning to wonder where his mom and dad were... but his eyes were telling him he needed to sleep, and so he finally let his eyes close.. To dream..

-----------------------------------------------------------------X-------------------------------------------------------

The next day he woke up more rested then he had been in months. He rolled over to his clock.. He checked the time.

12:00. Okay. Where on earth were his mom and dad? He got up and showered and changed. He hurried downstairs, his shirt still off he started to slip it on as he entered the living room and headed into the kitchen. As he pulled it over his head he blushed when he saw that Cindy was sitting at his kitchen table. He looked at her confused and pulled his shirt the rest of the way down and evened it out. She stared at him.

" Ah... hi.." he said blushing.

" Hey..."

" umm.. What exactly..." then she interrupted him.

" Am I doing here?" he grabbed the milk as he shook his head. He sat down in the chair across from her...

" Well.. I have to ask... do you love me?" she said blushing. He looked at her confused... but then the room got very dark, and when the light returned, she was gone.

" Cindy?" " CINDY!"

Jimmy woke up with a start. 9:00... he rolled out of bed, and rubbed his forehead. That was a weird dream.. He smiled. It was a good dream though, because he knew that she had been checking him out.. At least she admired him somewhat in his dreams. He rolled out of bed and changed... completely.. He laughed as he went downstairs. He checked his mom and dad's room, sure enough they were in there bed... sound asleep. He went into the kitchen, with a spark of hope that Cindy would be there. But she wasn't.. He sat down to breakfast...

The day passed slowly, and Libby called and told him that she and Sheen and Cindy were going to the schools' out dance tonight. He personally really didn't care.. Sure he loved Cindy, but he hated dancing, no reason to make a bigger fool out of himself...
