Chapter 4: The Eskimo Way
"Love is the strange bewilderment which overtakes one person on account of another person."
-James Thurber and E.B. White
January came cold and brisk in New York City. Cindy found herself walking to school in one of her old coats. Her dad wouldn't buy her a new one, and she would've bought one for herself, but she was saving up for a plane back to Retroville. So, she trekked through the snow in her worn out tennis shoes and worn out coat, clutching her arms to her chest. She turned the corner of her block and stopped.
"3..2..1," she whispered.
"CINDY!"
"Right on time," she said to herself, turning around to face Tyler. "Hey Ty," she said, smiling.
"Hey Cin," he replied, draping an arm over her shoulders. Had it been 5 months ago, Cindy might've smacked him for that, but after a while she realized that Tyler meant nothing by it, and she let him do it. They were a lot closer now, but like brother and sister; they weren't interested in each other. "Cin, what's with the coat...and the shoes?"
"What about them?"
"Well, a) they don't look very warm and b) they look like you've had them since 5th grade." Cindy giggled.
"Well, my mom sorta hated me when my dad left, so she never really bought me a new coat. And my dad...well, he doesn't exactly notice me. I can't buy myself one, because I need the money to go see Jimmy again."
"Wow, you're really dedicated to this kid," Tyler said. "I wish I had a girlfriend like you." Cindy felt her cheeks turn a little pink and smiled shyly.
"Hey, you should come to Retroville with me! I'm sure I could find a girl for you."
"You'd do that for me?"
"You need to pay for your own ticket," Cindy replied.
"Wow, you're the best! Did you know that?"
"So I've heard," Cindy said smugly. They both laughed as they reached the school. New York proved better than Cindy thought it'd be.
"OH I AM SO BEATING YOU!" Natalie shouted from Jimmy's couch.
"OH, IN YOUR DREAMS!" Jimmy replied, hitting the buttons of the controller in his hands violently. Natalie and Jimmy had been playing video games almost all day. Natalie's power had gone out due to the snow storm and she and her family went over to Jimmy's house.
"OH! I WIN! IN YOUR FACE NEUTRON!" Natalie shouted, standing up and dropping the controller.
"Oh yeah, well let's see you win against this!" He said, tackling her onto the couch and tickling her like crazy.
"OK, OK! YOU WIN!" Natalie said through tears of laughter. She wiped the tears from her face and looked up into Jimmy's eyes. "You have beautiful eyes," she whispered. Jimmy ran his hand though her hair.
"You have beautiful hair," he replied, inching closer to her. Natalie brought her hand behind Jimmy's head.
"Well you have beautiful lips," she giggled, bringing his lips down to hers.
"Mmmmm," Jimmy moaned into her lips. She tasted sweet, like butterscotch. Well, she did keep some in her purse since it was her favorite candy. Jimmy passed his tongue over her lips and she gladly opened for him. Their kiss deepened more and more. Jimmy began to slide his hand up her shirt, and Natalie shuddered at his touch.
"Your hands are cold," she whispered when they pulled away to catch their breath.
"Well, they'll be warm soon," he said, grinning as he moved her shirt up her body.
"Jim, we're in your parent's living room. Should we really be doing this now?"
"Naaat, do you have to make me wait? You're killing me here," Jimmy mumbled into her neck. Natalie gasped at the feeling of his lips on her neck. "God, I want you so bad."
"Hey Jim, do you have a way to make your room sound proof?" Natalie asked.
"Yeah, why?" Jimmy looked down into her eyes and realized what he was talking about. He picked her up bridal style and carried her up to his room. After sound proofing it, he joined her on the bed. Soon, their clothing was off, and January didn't seem as cold as it did that morning.
A/N: OK, so Natalie and Jimmy are together, and Jimmy basically forgot about Cindy. Yeah, you can flame as much as you want, because I know how pissed you guys must be. Just...DON'T KILL ME! Runs off screaming R&R and tell me how pissed you all are!
