Sorry for the late update! I had a busy week. Thanks for the reviews and for loving my story!
Disclaimer: Jimmy Neutron is not mine.
JIMMY'S POV.
Its been a few days since that argument/confession scene with Cindy, and we didn't talk, or should I say we didn't argue like normal.
Carl and Sheen knew of our situation, and they keep insisting me to reconcile with Cindy, but I just ignored their idea. That's why I always carry this heavy thing on my chest.
I sighed while I'm doing the antidote here in the lab. Just a little bit more Jimmy, and this thing will end soon, and everything is going to be back to normal again.
I hear my stomach growl and decided to take a little break from my work. I make my way to the kitchen, but mom's not there. I looked at the fridge and saw a note, saying that she's gone to a duck conference with Dad and that they will be back at night before dinner.
But I'm so hungry! And there's nothing to eat in the fridge. I decided to order some pizza to satisfy my hunger.
I grab my phone to call Carl, so I can share the pizza with him, when I saw Cindy in front of her house, talking with some guy.
I don't know why, but my blood started to boil with this scene.
The guy started to do some weird moves that made Cindy laughed. My feet started to move on their own and went outside in their direction.
I saw that Cindy noticed me, walking on their way, that's why her expression started to change, and it made the guy looked at me too.
"Why hello there, little man! Got any business here?" That guy asked me. Did he just call me little?
"What did you call me?" I asked him while glaring.
"Okay Neutron, what are you doing here?" Cindy asked me while crossing her arms across her chest.
"Who is this guy?" I asked her, or should I say kinda commanded her.
"And why do you care?"
"Uhm, excuse me. I thought you don't have a boyfriend." That guy interrupted. Wait? Is he planning to?
"Yes, I don't have, and if you're thinking that Neutron is my boyfriend, then get that MESS out of your head!" she said, emphasizing the word "mess".
"Ohh.. then who are you, little man?" he asked me again.
"WHAT. DID. YOU. CALLED. ME. AGAIN?!" I said while holding my fists tightly, and while gritting my teeth.
"Just go away Neutron! I don't mind with your businesses so don't mind mine! I don't want you here!" she screamed. I looked at her, then back to the guy and walked away.
"Is he deaf? He keeps asking me about what did I call him." I heard the guy said that pisses me off more.
My pizza arrived and decided to eat it in the kitchen. Damn that guy! Calling me little.
After eating, I decided to come back in the lab, then I saw Cindy standing beside the tree in my backyard. She looked at me, but I looked away at her and started to walk on my way to the lab.
I started to feel her walking towards me that's why I walked faster to enter my lab.
"Let's talk." She said, but I ignored her.
"Don't act like I'm not here, and speak to me." She said. I looked at her with furrowed eyebrows.
"I don't know what to say to you anymore Vortex. I have enough of everything. Just face it, we both don't want these feelings. We can't fix anything by just talking, the problem will just continue if we don't get rid of these stupid feelings and if you're going to ask me if I think that these feelings are stupid. Then yes! This is the stupidest thing that I have ever felt in my entire life!" I said while catching my breath.
"Yes. You're right. This is stupid. We are both stupid, but you are stupider than me. You wanna know why? Because you always conclude on things, you don't ask me to make things clear, and I expected that because you're a genius, but I wanted to remind you that these that we are having are not just a thing that you can explain easily. It's feelings, and feelings are complicated, they are not an equation that you can solve using that lab of yours!" she said. My face started to soften, and I looked down.
I don't want to admit it, but she's right.
"We don't know that unless we try."
"Oh, come on, don't argue things in a stupid way. I know that you know that I'm right. Just admit it. We can't keep leaving our problem in your lab because not all things have a scientific explanation."
"I'm halfway through my research, I'm almost done, so please just leave me alone, and don't interfere."
"Don't shut me off Neutron, I have problems with you too."
"Oh yeah? Then, what did you just do to me earlier? You shut me off too, remember?" I said, and she started to be silent.
"Just like you said, I don't mind your business, so don't mind mine." I said and about to enter my lab, but I stopped when Cindy started to talk again.
"I l-love you Neutron, that's why I think I have a right to mind your business." She said, and I just looked at her with my mouth hanging down.
"D-did you just said…?"
"Yeah! Why? Are you deaf!"
"W-well... I'm just shocked, yeah I'm aware of your feelings because of what you just said to me these past few days, but I-I just got shocked when you said the exact words to me…" I said, having a tough time expressing my thoughts to her.
"O-oh yeah? I didn't hear the exact words from you though."
"Hey! I told you! I said that you're the one that I really like!" I said fast but suddenly blushed when I realized, what I just have said. She smiled at me and started to come closer to me.
"See Jimmy? Our feelings are mutual. S-so, why don't we give a try?" she said, looking shy.
"Uh.. well.. uhh.. wait… did you just call me Jimmy?" I asked, looking confused at her. Well, she always calls me Neutron or other weird nicknames.
"Of course, that's your name, well, that's not the point."
I looked at the door to my lab; I'm almost finished with the antidote, and I'm almost done with solving this problem. Then, I looked at Cindy; I wanted to try this relationship thing with her, I mean I really really like her, hell, I even love her, and I don't want to hurt her feelings, I just can't take it.
"You don't want it?" she asked me, looking impatient.
I looked at her, then at the door, at her, at the door, at her, at the door…
Then, I sighed and smiled. Of course, I know what I'm going to pick.
It is the most important thing to me.
CARL: What did you think Jimmy pick?
LIBBY: I don't know. I'm not a hundred percent sure. How about you Sheen?
SHEEN: Something's not right.
CARLLIBBY: What is it?
SHEEN: I'm not included in today's chapter! And Jimmy didn't even plan to invite me for pizza! This is so horrible!
LIBBY: *rolls her eyes on Sheen* Jimmy and Cindy are busy today, so please keep reading and reviewing.
