Chapter 22: Lost In Love

Peabody sat his desk and started thinking. While thinking Peabody stood up and walked over to the window and stood there for a few minutes. After a few minutes there was a knock at the door. "Come in," Peabody said still looking out the window. Marina walked in the office with her papers in her hand. "Hi. Mr. Peabody," Marina said as she walked forward closing the door behind her. Peabody looked at Marina and smiled. "Marina! Good morning," Peabody said cheerfully. Marina smiled as she sat down at Peabody's desk. "Morning sir," Marina said as Peabody walked over to his desk. "How's Thomas doing?" Marina asked. "Well... We haven't talked since last night and he just went to school with out talking to me," Peabody said sitting down at his desk. Marina nodded. "I'm sure he'll turn up," Marina said with a smile. Peabody smiled as he pushed his glasses up. "I'm sure he will too," Peabody replied. "So... Um are you free at the moment?" Marina asked feeling a little bit awkward. Peabody looked up at Marina and smiled. "I am," Peabody said with a smile. "Um... Do you want to go get lunch with me?" Marina asked. Peabody chuckled. "Yeah I would like that," Peabody said as he stood up.

Marina smiled. "Okay. I'll be next to my car," Marina said as she walked towards the door. Peabody nodded as she left. Peabody then heard his phone go off on his desk. Peabody picked up his phone and saw that it was a text message from Thomas. Peabody felt his spirit go up, seeing that it was his son but then his spirit went down as soon as he read the text.

"No need to wait up for me after school. I'm going to the library to study and Sherman is doing homework at Penny's house," Thomas texted.

...

"Oh okay," Peabody texted back

...

"K cool," Thomas texted back.

Peabody felt a little bit hurt by this. But he had to shake it off and get his mind off of what happened last night. Peabody grabbed his phone and his coat and headed out of his office and locked his door. Marina felt really nervous since last night. She felt sick since trying to get pudding out of her hair. Marina could get hear the girls from the bathroom talking in her head. "Sorry it took me so long," Peabody said walking up the Marina's car. Marina was startled as she turned and looked at Peabody. "Oh. It's okay sure we're in no hurry," Marina said with a smile. Peabody chuckled. "Okay great," Peabody said as he got into Marina's. Marina nodded as she got in her car and then they here off. They drove to a pizza parlor that was a crossed from the library.

Peabody and Marina sat down at a table next to the window. As they waited for their pizza they started talking. "Marina are you alright from last night?" Peabody asked. Marina places her drink down and looks up at Peabody. "I guess... Sorta... No not really," Marina said looking down from Peabody. Peabody then puts his paw on Marinas hand. "You want to know something funny?" Peabody said with a smile. Marina looked at Peabody as she was biting the bottom part of her lip. "What?" Marina asked. Peabody chucked. "When Sherman was a baby I was feeding him in a high chair and he threw his food at me and it was in front of everyone," Peabody explained with a laugh. Marina started laughing. Peabody nodded. "Yeah that's what happened," Peabody added. Marina looked into Peabody's green eyes. "Was Sherman hard to handle?" Marina asked. Peabody took a drink before answering. "No. Not really. He was a good boy for the most part and well... I never really knew how to take care of a human child. But I was up for the challenge," Peabody said with smile.

Marina chuckled. "And what about Thomas?" Marina asked. Peabody lost his eye contact with Marina as he started think of what to say. "He... How can I put this... He's a great kid don't get me wrong and he's my son and I'll always love him. I just never had the experience with him as a small child or a baby," Peabody said as his voice choked up. Marina felt awkward at the moment. "May I ask what happened?" Marina asked biting down at her lower lip. Peabody looked up at Marina and took a deep breath. "Thomas's mother never told me about her pregnancy and I just... Some times I just wished she could told," Peabody said as he looked out the window. Marinas heart felt broken for Peabody. "Mr. Peabody I'm sorry I asked it wasn't my place to ask about your past," Marina said moving her hand away from Peabody's paw. Peabody grabbed Marinas hand before she moved it away. "It's okay you didn't know. Besides that over and done with and right now... I'm hearts here," Peabody said with a smile. Marina's heart skipped a beat. Marina only smiled as she nodded. After lunch Peabody and Marina walked out of the pizza parlor and went to Marina's car. "Thank you for lunch today that was nice," Peabody said as he looked up at Marina. Marina looked down at Peabody and smiled. "It's no problem Mr. Peabody it was nice just to have a normal chat and lunch," Marina said still looking at Peabody. "Please you call me Hector," Peabody said with a smile. Marina was a little surprised by this. "Are you sure sir?" Marina asked. Peabody chuckled. "Marina... I would be offended if you didn't," Peabody said looking into marina's gray eyes. Marina just looked into Peabody's green eyes. They just looked into each other's eyes for the longest time . Eventually they moved closer to each. Staying lost in what could be love they kissed.

"Does your dad know your here?" Ashlind asked. Thomas looked Ashlind. "Nope," Thomas answered. Ashlind nodded. "Good. Now this is my friend Zayn and he is going to teach you how to drive this Chevy," Ashlind said as she got into the back seat. Thomas and Zayn then shook hands. "You ready to do this?" Zayn asked getting into the passenger side. "Ready as I'll ever be," Thomas replied as he got into the driver seat.
