Chapter Three.
The Next day.
Later when morning had passed and they had their breakfast, Tim and his mother Bethany waited around the lounge whilst Lex was away to a computer club in town. A while later they got a call from Cathy Bowman who told Mrs Murphy that she was coming within half an hour and that she'll meet them down at the parkway.
Finished with the phone call, Tim went to his room to get himself dressed up whilst Bethany went to her bedroom to get dressed up herself. Spending a few minutes to search for the right clothes, Tim managed to find the right clothes before he got dressed up into a green shirt and brown trousers and a pair of trainers.
A while later after getting dressed in some smart attire, Tim went out of his room. walking through the hall he met with his mother and went out of their apartment doorway and then took the elevator down to the reception.
Reaching the ground floor they went outside the elevator, walking across the hall of the reception before they went towards the doorway. There they stood outside the door of the apartment and then waited for a few minutes together, Bethany took the time to look at Tim and brushed him down to make sure that he was all the more presentable for his own first date.
Once done She looked at him and smiled at how smart he was to her view. "I'm so proud of you my son, that you are such a handsome boy who is taking a beautiful girl out on her first date."
Tim looked up to his mum before he said to her. "Thanks mum. I needed the support." He then turned to the drive way when he heard a horn honk and then suddenly saw the car coming into view and then intro the driveway. When the car stopped at the side walk near them, the door opened up and Cathy stepped out of the car, smiling at Tim and his mom before she waved to him and spoke.
"Hi there handsome." Tim smiled at Cathy before he responded. "Hi Cathy, I wasn't sure if we were going to meet upstairs so I came down to meet you here, anyways you look so great Cathy." Tim said before he leaned forward on Cathy and he kissed her cheek. her face blushed at that kiss as she drew a grin.
"Well thank you Tim, you're looking so smart yourself. So is this your mum?" asked Cathy, looking at Tim and Bethany. Tim turned to his mum before he spoke.
"Yes Cathy, this is my mum. Mum I want you to meet Cathy bowman."
"Hello, Mrs Murphy. Its nice to meet you here in person. I hope that I didn't cause any trouble by inviting Tim to my house for lunch and having him lie to you about meeting friends." said Cathy.
"its nothing to worry on, I've already had a talk with Tim about the lie he put upon me. so I hope your family aren't too bothered with it either." said Beth.
"No, I told them that Tim wanted to offer his apology personally and ensure me that these animals wouldn't come to the main land for sure unless InGen decides to bring them back to the mainland. Anyways are you ready to go Tim?" Cathy spoke looking at Beth and then looked over to Tim, who was watching them.
"Yeah sure, I'm ready to go." Tim said, turning to hug his mum goodbye, Beth shared the hug for a moment before withdrawing. then she said to him.
"Alright now be home by 11 alright and behave yourself."
"I will mum, thank you and goodbye." Tim said to his mum before he turned around and walked towards the car with Cathy coming to the door, Tim opened the door for Cathy to climb in before he went in himself, closing the door before the car started and moved away from the lane and then drove along the drive and off to the freeway leading into the city.
Tim and Cathy were out on their date at a local restaurant which Tim knew of in the city, they shared a couple of tacos and a couple of fizzy drinks whilst they had a few laughs together about his sister Lex as well as a couple of things about Cathy's school life.
After having dinner at the local restaurant, they went for a walk along the streets for almost half an hour and then went to see a romantic comedy film.
It was enjoyable for a moment until eventually Tim took Cathy's hand and held it through out the movie.
Cathy only withdrew her hand to wipe off the sweat before she held Tim's hand again and then before the movie ended, Tim turned his head to look at Cathy, who turned to look at him. Fascinated by Tim's sweet eyes, she became entranced in bliss of the moment. They leaned in at the same time before they eventually shared their first kiss together.
It was a little weird for them at first as it was so different. Cathy smiled to him before she raised her hand and brushed the front of his hair. "You're quite a good kisser Tim, you should be proud of yourself." she said.
"Its not bad for a first time Cathy, you're such a sweetheart." said Tim. Cathy giggled at Tim's comment before she took his hand. Once the movie was finished, the two stood up and then walked out of the cinemas, hand in hand.
Soon after they stepped out of the cinemas they found their car waiting for them, so Tim went forward to open the door for Cathy before she stepped inside and then Tim followed. Closing the door behind him, Tim sat still beside Cathy and told the driver their destination.
The two then rode all the way back across the city to her apartment.
After an hour riding along the road in the city, they drove to the street where her apartment was staying and the car stopped, before they stepped out of the Car Cathy turned around to look at Tim and then gave him her address so that they could write to one another over seas and keep in touch.
Later that night after coming back to his home, Tim came in through the doorway of the apartment where his mother was in the lounge sitting down on the couch and reading a magazine when she heard the door open.
She lowered her magazine down and raised her head to see Tim come in through the doorway, putting it aside she stood up from the couch as Tim was coming into the lounge, she spoke.
"Hi sweetheart, how did your date go? did you have fun with Cathy Bowman?"
Tim looked up at his mom and smiled before he spoke. "Yeah it was quite a good date." Bethany smiled at her son as she approached him and then brought him to the couch where Bethany and Tim spent the hour talking.
That night which was the very night when the ship carrying the Male Tyrannosaurus Rex had came into InGen harbour and crashed into the pier before the T-rex escaped the cargo hold and began running amuck in San Diego, Tim was in his room writing an e-mail to Cathy about their date before he went to bed for the night.
The next day when he went to visit Cathy, Tim came to the door answering Cathy's mother before entering the doorway and then coming into her home. Meeting with Cathy who was watching the news, Tim had had just learnt about the Incident of San Diego on the news in which the T-rex had roamed across the streets scaring everyone who saw it as well as causing mountains of chaos before following a red car driven by his old friend Dr. Ian Malcolm and his girlfriend Sarah Harding to the docks.
Hearing the news about the incident, Cathy took Tim's hand and brought him to the couch where they both sat together and watched the news further. watching the news, Tim found that he was surprised at how lucky he was that he and Cathy were not on their date in San Diego last night. He turned his head to look at Cathy who watched as the news was covering the dinosaurs return trip to Isla Sorna with multiple ships sailing with the container ship.
Then when Mrs bowman came into the lounge to tell them the cooks have prepared lunch, she caught a glimpse of the CEO of InGen John Hammond who is then interviewed. He was pleading that the island remain preserved and isolated, for the dinosaurs require human absence in order to survive.
He also offers a quote by Malcolm: "Life will find a way." Hearing those words, Cathy held Tim's hand in hers tightly whilst Mrs Bowman stood there with a smile on her face although she hated the Island, she knew that they were just animals that needed to just be left alone. Looking down she saw the picture of Cathy sitting with Tim side by side for a moment before she spoke. "Cathy, Tim lunch is almost ready darling, the chef says, he shall have it on the table."
Tim and Cathy turned their heads to look at her when she told them, Cathy nodded and spoke.
"Okay mom we'll be at the table in a moment." Mrs Bowman drew a grin before she turned around and went back to the kitchen whilst Cathy and Tim turned to look at one another, Cathy then spoke.
"Well at least your grandfather's dinosaurs are in safe hands."
"yeah, and with the new laws being set up, the people wont ever be coming to the island." said Tim.
Cathy looked at Tim before she stood up from her seat, and she turned around to look at him. She spoke. "Come on, let's go to the kitchen and have some lunch." Tim smiled thinking it as a good idea, he then stood up on his feet going with Cathy, they walked from the lounge and then into the kitchen where the chef was just serving their lunch.
A week later.
It had been a long week since the incident in San Diego, and the citizens who had seen the Tyrannosaurus Rex in the streets were still recovering from the whole ordeal of that night and reconstruction to the damages were underway.
Some who had lost loved ones to the dinosaur had filed lawsuits against InGen's employees for bringing the T-rex to the mainland, but the rest of the citizens in San Diego and most groups of Greenpeace, were giving their support and agreement for John Hammond's statement to preserve and isolate Isle Sorna indefinitely so that these dinosaurs won't ever be taken off the island and cause chaos in any other part or any city of the world.
Since finding out that she got herself a day off, Lex sitting in the passenger seat in the taxi, driving across to Ian Malcolm's apartment building to give her congrats to him on behalf of her Grandfather in regaining his university reputation.
During the ride, Lex took the time to reflect on the time after she returned to the mainland and had to go through a series of psychiatric therapy to get herself back into life in the city since she had so many scares in Jurassic park.
She thought about the days she spent with her psychiatrist who was so fascinated by the story of her days in the theme park, How scared she was when seeing the tyrannosaurus rex and how she faced against the velociraptor inside the Kitchen, but spoke of how she used her hacker skills to save her brother and Doctor Grant.
Eventually she was able to live with her experience and live a normal life and her brother too was given medication for his injuries. Lex was still in her day dream when she felt the car slow down near an apartment building within the city where Ian Malcolm was staying and the car was just making its parking into an empty parking spot.
When the Car parked on the side of the road in front of the building, the driver stepped out first and went to open the door for Lex, who then stepped out of the car. Standing up, she then walked forward, from the car across the front lawn to the front door of the building. After coming to the door Lex, pressed a number on the side which buzzed Ian's apartment.
She waited for her friend Ian to answer the speaker.
Soon after buzzing the building number, a girl responded on the other line. "Hello,"
"Hi there, is Ian Malcolm around?" said Lex. "And what's your name?" Asked the Girl on the speaker.
"I'm Lex murphy, John Hammond's granddaughter. I'm just wondering if I could come inside please." said Lex. After a short while the buzzer sounded and unlocked the door for Lex to open it up, she went inside and then closed the door before walking towards the stairs and went up a couple of floors until she got to the top floor and then walked along the line of doors.
When she got to a door at the end she knocked on the door. Lex waited a short while before the door opened up.
Lex was surprised to see Ian's daughter Kelly who answered the door to see Lex Murphy standing there before her. Upon seeing her she too was surprised to see Lex. Kelly was the first to speak. "Miss Lex murphy, I didn't expect to see you here at Ian's door." Lex nodded before she responded. "Oh, um sorry to come unexpected, but I'm here to see Ian Malcolm." Kelly grinned before she spoke. "My name is Kelly Curtis Malcolm, I'm Ian Malcolm's daughter."
"Oh, well how do you do Miss Malcolm?" said Lex, offering her hand to Kate before she spoke. "Its nice to meet you in person."
"Its very nice to meet the granddaughter of the famous John Hammond of InGen, please come in." Kelly said, opening the door for Lex to enter. Upon entering the house Lex walked forward through the hallway whilst Kelly closed the door and followed Lex before she led her through the hallway towards the kitchen. "So can I get you a cup of tea or juice?" asked Kelly.
"Um, tea is fine thank you Kelly." Lex said, standing by the table before sitting down whilst Kelly was handling the kettle.
She brought it to the sink before turning the water on to fill it up, once it was half full she brought it to the stove and turned it on before turning back to Lex who sat at the table. Whilst they waited for the kettle to boil, Kelly was the first to speak to Lex. "I have to tell you that I was a little surprised that your grandfather decided to send my dad to the Island in a humanitarian cause, it was almost noble of you." said Kelly as she sat down.
"Hmm, truth be told I was glad that I didn't go straight to Isle Sorna to help my grandfather." said Lex.
"Well unlike yourself, I went there and seen the dinosaurs up close. I even faced off against a velociraptor." said Kelly.
"Really?" asked Lex when the kettle started to whistle signalling that it's boiling up.
Kelly turned her head at the sound of the whistle before she then stood up from her seat and walked towards the stove to turn it off, she grabbed an oven glove from the hanger and then took the kettle off the stove, bringing it to the counter.
"Yeah, that's true. it happened when me, my dad and his girlfriend Sarah were walking around in the compound, looking for our other friend nick." She spoke telling the whole story whilst putting the kettle upon the counter and then went to the cupboard.
She picked up a couple of cups before she placed them on the counter.
Lex listened to Kelly's story whilst she then picked up a pot full of teabags, picking two out from the pot and putting it aside, she took placed them into a teapot on the counter before filling it with the hot water from the kettle. Once the teapot was full, she placed the kettle back on the stove before bring the teapot and two cups to the table. "Here you go, one cup of tea for you Lex. So would you like some milk?" asked Kelly.
"Sure." said Lex. Kelly turned and went to the fridge, picking up a carton of milk before closing the fridge door. She then brought it to the table and gave it to Lex who filled her cup with tea before she took the carton and topped up the cup of tea with it. Sitting down, Kelly then helped herself to filling her cup with tea before she spoke to Lex. "So what about you, did you have any encounters with those Velociraptors?"
Lex was silent as she thought back to her experience on Isla Nublar but shivered she held her teacup with the images of her experience in Jurassic park before she returned to the mainland.
Seeing her discomfort at the question, Kelly spoke. "I'm sorry if I've asked that question, I didn't mean to bring up some bad memories." Lex snapped out of her daze before she replied to Kelly's comment.
"No, its okay I was just thinking. Well I did have encounters with Velociraptors, in fact I once tricked one into running into a reflection and helped my brother trap another in a freezer. of course my brother lowered it into the freezer before I helped him lock it. and then I accessed the system locking the doors before we ran into the other two again in the main hallway of Jurassic park. Thankfully the tyrannosaurus rex killed them both."
"Wow, you must have had such an adventure. You used your hacking skills to save Dr. Alan grant and Ellie Sattler, and your own brother, it must have been so scared by those raptors." commented Kelly.
"Well It was a frightening experience but my only goal was to keep them from eating me." Lex agreed with her before she sipped some tea from her cup. "In the end my and my brother Tim got close as siblings." Lex said after she laid her cup down on the table. The two girls shared a comforting moment of silence as they thought of their past.
Kelly drew a small grin before she commented. "I'm glad that something good came out of the experience."
Lex gave a nod to that and Kelly spoke. "My dad and I became close as well after the incident of Isla Sorna but luckily I wasn't around when the T-rex was in the streets of San Diego."
Kelly continued to speak about her father Ian Malcolm when the door opened up suddenly and a voice came into the room. "Kelly, I'm home. Are you there?" Ian Malcolm's voice was heard when he stepped into the apartment, Kelly turned her head to her dad's voice before she turned herself and then slipped off the stool to head out of the kitchen. "Hi Dad, yes I'm here but we have a visitor as well." said Kelly, seeing her dad take off his jacket whilst the door closed up behind him. Ian looked up at Kelly before he asked her. "Who is it honey?" Kelly turned her head to Lex before she turned back to him and answered him.
"Lex Murphy is here, she came down here to visit us."
"Lex Murphy is here?" asked Ian coming forward towards her, Kelly then led him into the kitchen where Lex was still sitting down on the stood sipping her cup of tea. She just placed it back on the counter when she looked up at Ian.
Seeing Ian come into the kitchen she spoke with a grin on her face.
"Ian, its very good to see you again, the last time I saw you."
"Lex, its actually very good to see you again too, Especially after the events of those weeks in San Diego." said Ian, approaching Lex who stepped off the stool and then shook his hand. "I'm thankful that I wasn't in the city with that Tyrannosaurus got out and wreck havoc." said Lex.
"You should be thankful. The last time I saw you I was meeting your grandfather to talk about the second island which has become inhabited with dinosaurs." Ian said, looking at her from top to bottom and then hugger her before they withdrew. Lex was the one to speak. "Well I'm glad that you got your reputation back after the incident of San Diego, The news papers have been saying that the boards of the university has been asking to apologise for not believing you."
"Well my girlfriend Sarah have got some credit together in luring the T-rex back into the boat I'm just glad that it was all over with. I'm not going back to Isla Sorna again at least unless a friend ends up there." said Ian, looking around the room before looking back down to Lex. Both Lex and Ian continued to talk about his adventures and the publicity with his girlfriend who was now gaining so much credit with her involvement.
After some time they moved on to a different subject to Lex's success in prep school, especially with her abilities with computers which sparked Kelly's interest in which she could use some help in computer work.
Eventually the hour passed as Lex, Ian and Kelly had their chat together. They covered as much as the news that Tim has been going out with the little British girl who was injured on the beach of Isla Sorna and said that her name was Cathy Bowman.
Meanwhile in the city.
Asking Cathy's parent if they could go into town, Cathy's mother decided to have one of her bodyguards go with them so that they won't get lost in the city alone, they went to the arcade where Cathy played a couple of videogames.
Tim played a video games and eventually, in a ball toss game Tim won a small prize for Cathy which was a stuffed toy dolphin. Giving the dolphin to her, he received a hug from Cathy who then kissed him on the cheek. He blushed after that kiss and he almost thought that he'd trip and fall or something.
Having such a nice time it brought Tim and Cathy close together as they talked about the future with their bodyguard looking out for the two, later that night when Tim and Cathy returned to her parents house he stayed to have dinner with her parents who were kind to him.
They found him to be a nice and trustworthy boy as well as a hard worker who hopes to get to be an ambitious person someday and more.
As the hour of the night with the parents wore on, they shared some funny stories which happened before Isla Nublar but he also shared the time that he climbed up an electric fence and almost wound up electrocuted. That story almost startled Mrs Bowman as she thought that he might have died but he told her that a paleontologist named Doctor Alan grant saved him from dying by performing mouth to mouth resuscitation on him.
After that time in Isla Nublar, he studied CPR and first aid so that one day if he went back to the island, he'd be fully prepared for anything bad that might happen on the island.
Mr Bowman found his story about Doctor Grant to be so fascinating especially at the fact that he saved Tim's life, so he suddenly took more of a shine to him. After the night Mr bowman had Tim sent home by a hired car but not before Cathy gave him a small early valentine's day card with a hidden message inside it.
Opening the valentine's day card on the long ride home, Tim read the message from Cathy which said.
To Timmy Murphy.
Its strange to think that if my parents hadn't come to Isla Sorna and if I hadn't been attacked by your grandfather's dinosaurs, then I wouldn't have met you in person and that our dates together were fun but then I started to develop feelings for you. So I'm glad that you and I would go steady in this relationship.
Therefore I want you to know that no matter what happens there's a chance that I have fallen in love with you Tim Murphy.
I ask you if you would be my boyfriend?
If time between us is good, then you'll always be in my loving heart. Here's a poem I've written for you:
"I always knew that love would come find me someday
but never did I know that it would be you who was headed my way
you caught me off guard and took me by surprise
but you simply captivated me, the same way you do when I look into your eyes
It's true that every good and perfect gift is from above
you were presented to me as a beautifully packaged gift full of humor, talent, intelligence, beauty and love
"it isn't finding the perfect person but learning to see an imperfect person perfectly"
we all have our flaws but when I view you through my eyes, perfection is all I see
I know I don't need to prove my feelings to know they're true
because what I've known in my past, doesn't come close to the experience I've shared with you
I've had the experience of being in relationships before
however, this is the first time I've been truly happy... I couldn't ask for anything more
it's an honor to know that I am yours, as you are mine
and I trust God that He'll bring us together in His beautiful time
For now, I'll be waiting patiently for that day when we'll be together
that precious moment in time when I'll say, "it's you that I want to be with forever"
God made everything beautiful, precious and new
just as beautiful and precious as the day will be, when I look into your eyes and say, "I Love You"
Love always C Bowman.
After reading the letter, Timmy placed the valentine back into the letter and held there as he drew a small grin of happiness that he's found that Cathy has professed her love for him and more.
He smiled also knowing he's in love with her.
It was following the next year after that day, Timmy sent a valentine's day card back to Cathy, declaring his love for her in a small poem which was her favourite, soon after that the two then kept in touch through the internet as well as writing e-mails and letters to one another, they went to different schools before they went and applied for the same college at the same time.
They continued to carry on with their relationship together as a couple.
Well that's the end of chapter three, be sure to look out for Chapter four which will take place four years after their date and during Jurassic park 3 when Alan Grant had to go with Paul and Amanda Kirby to straight to Isla Sorna to find their lost son Eric in the jungle. Hope you loved the chapter, be sure to leave your comment and thoughts about the story so far and stay tuned for chapter four on the horizon. life will always find a way.
