Chapter 7: John + camera phones not good
A few weeks after John's incident with the "green mamba", him and Aidan were in the mall.
"Aw, c'mon love, I really want one!" John pleaded.
"I don't know, I'll think about it." Aidan said.
"Okay." John said reluctantly.
After a few hours of shopping, John was becoming restless. He sat on the bench in the middle of the mall with the shopping bags as Aidan bought him a pretzel. She came back with the pretzels and sat down.
"You know, I've been thinking and I'm going to let you have a phone." Aidan said.
John looked up with half his pretzel in his mouth and said, "Really? Oh thank you darlin'! I love ya!"
So they went into Cellular One and got John a phone. Not just any phone…. a picture phone. Big mistake.
About a week later everyone had gone out to the movies, except John and Aidan. She was stuck babysitting.
"Aidan!" John called from the bathroom.
"What?" She yelled.
"Come 'ere! The cola alone is worth the trek! And bring me camera phone!" He yelled.
Aidan got up and brought John's phone to him in the bathroom. When she got there he was standing over the toilet with his pants around his ankles. Thank God his boxers were in their proper place, on his body.
"What do you want?" She asked handing him the phone.
"Look in there! " He said pointing to the toilet.
"For what?" She asked.
"Just do it." He said as he took a picture of whatever was in there.
Aidan cautiously looked in the bowl. She looked dumbfounded.
"How did you get it that color? What is it? Purple?" She asked.
"Yes buddy! I had to eat A LOT of Kool-Aid powder to get I that color." John said snapping another picture from a different angle.
"You are disgusting." Aidan said leaving.
Over the next few days John had taken pictures of everything he had seen.
One day John and Aidan had gone out to spend the day together. Jennie was putting clothes in the rooms and she saw John's phone on his bed. Tempted, she picked it up and started looking at the pictures. She saw a picture of Remy's mouth with drool coming from it and Piotr's kneecap. At seeing that last picture she screamed. "FERYAL!"
Feryal came running into John's room jumped on his bed to sit next to Jennie. "Yeah?"
"Look at these pictures John has." Jennie said revisiting Remy and Piotr.
"He has no life does he?" Feryal said.
"Let's gon on." Jennie said looking at the next picture, which was a shot up John's nose. The next ones were as follows:
Feryal's left pinky toe, Jennie's right thumb, Aidan's underwear drawer, and two pictures of something purple floating in the toilet.
"Are thinking the same thing I am?" Jennie asked.
"If you're thinking that that is purple shit, then yes I am thinking what you're thinking." Feryal said.
"How did he get it that color?" Jennie asked.
"He must have eaten A HELL OF A LOT of Kool-Aid powder to get it that color." Feryal said.
"Maybe we should put this back and never touch it again." Jennie said closing the phone and setting it back on the bed.
"Yes, now let's go and do something productive." Feryal said.
"Yes… but what do we do that's productive?" Jennie asked.
"I have no idea, wanna go watch Piotr clean the living room?" Feryal asked.
"Sure." Jennie said getting up and walking into the living room with Feryal.
In the living room Piotr was indeed cleaning. Jennie and Feryal came in and sat on the couch. Piotr looked up from vacuuming and looked up at the two girls. They just sat there on the couch smiling. He just went back to his vacuuming.
A few hours later Remy walked in the door with bags of groceries and walked towards the kitchen.
Jennie ran into Feryal's room and said, "Feryal I need your help."
"Okay hold on." Feryal said getting down from the stool. "Sorry Piotr, this'll only take a second."
In Jennie's room,
"Which one?" Jennie asked holding up two dresses.
"The black one." Feryal said.
"With these shoes?" Jennie asked wearing these hideous things she calls shoes.
"NO! Those ones." Feryal said pointing to the black heels that had the ballerina type lacing up the leg.
"Okay, thank you so much!" Jennie said running into her bathroom and changing.
"No problem." Feryal said leaving.
Feryal walked back into her room. She shut the door and headed towards the stool. She got up and sat on it.
"Sorry about that, crisis in Jennie world." Feryal said.
"That's okay, just don't move." Piotr said beginning to paint again.
In the kitchen,
Remy just finished putting the last of the groceries away when he turned to see Jennie sitting in a very hot and skimpy black dress on the table.
"Whoa chère, you look amazin'." He said walking over to her.
"Thanks, now how about you go get cleaned up and I'll cook us something for dinner." She said.
"Alright, Gambit be right back." He said leaving the room rather quickly.
In the doorway,
"John, remind me to never let you pick what we do ever again." Aidan said falling onto the couch.
"Aw, love, I thought it was a good a idea and a good day." John said sitting next to her on the couch.
"Yeah, well, there ya go thinkin' again. I'm hurting in places thatI didn't even know existed." She said.
"But I thought you'd have liked extreme ping-pong." John said rubbing Aidan's back.
"Like I said before, there ya go thinkin' again." She said getting up from the couch.
"Where ya going?" John asked.
"I'm going to go and take a long hot bath." Aidan said heading towards the bathroom.
John got up and walked towards his bedroom to go and play with his phone. On his way back he passed Remy, who was in a suit and tie and he smelled good.
'Note to self, use 'at when Remy ain't 'ome.' John thought.
Later that night there was a lot of screaming going on between Remy and Jennie.
"Ya know, I would go out there to get a drink but I'm afraid I'm not gonna come back." Feryal said.
"I know what you mean." Piotr said as he finished painting.
"I wonder what they are fighting about now?" Piotr asked as he put his stuff away.
"Well, I kind of know. Jennie said it was their anniversary, but Remy must have thought other wise." Feryal said helping Piotr with his stuff.
"I've got it." Piotr said getting all of his things.
Feryal opened the door and stood in the doorway.
"Thank you." He said walking down the hall.
"Are you sure you don't need help with anything?" Feryal half asked half yelled to Piotr.
"I am sure but thank you anyways." Piotr said.
On his way to his room, Piotr saw John sitting in his doorway playing with his lighter and his phone.
"Anyone know what's goin' on 'tween the two love birds?" John asked Piotr.
"I have no idea, my best bet would be to go to bed." Piotr said walking into his room.
John took Piotr's advice and went to bed.
Aidan came out of the bathroom and went to her room. Eventually she went to sleep.
The next morning,
Feryal woke up to silence. She got out of bed and walked to the living room. It was totally destroyed.
Aidan came and stood beside Feryal.
"What happened?" Feryal asked.
"Remy and Jennie happened." Aidan said walking into the kitchen.
"They did all that?" Feryal asked getting herself a glass of orange juice.
"Yup, I'm surprised at them." Aidan said.
"Why?" Feryal asked.
"This is worse than the last time it happened." Aidan said taking a sip of coffee and reading the paper.
