Colder Nights

Jimmy Neutron was in their house. It was a cozy house made for 2, but he was the only one there. He felt sad and lonely. Alone and miserable.

''It's been one year since she left,'' Jimmy thought. He was sitting on the floor of the living room, he did not feel like sitting on the couch, he would just feel more lonesome. There were a number of beer bottles on the clear low-table in front of him, meaning, he was celebrating something. 32-year-old Jimmy Neutron only drank during special occasions. What exactly was the special occasion?

Jimmy looked around the room and saw the picture frames lined up on the side of television, all of them were photos of him and her. Jimmy can't help but give in to a faint smile.

''Happy Anniversary, Hon,'' Jimmy mumbled to himself as he stood up and proceeded to his room. Jimmy opened their room and lied down on the bed. He patted the empty spot beside him. The bed was spacious, but he wanted someone to cuddle him, to hold him and hug him. It was so quiet and peaceful, yes, that's what he wanted, but he missed her loud, nagging voice, her rather rough touch and her brutal words. Jimmy has never felt so empty and hollow. Jimmy decided to read the scientific books he never read before. Then made a mental note to himself that he would sleep soon after.

After you go, I can catch up on my reading

After you go, I'll have more time for sleeping

He read and read but he did not understand the words, the sentences he was reading. He continued reading but nothing was entering his brilliant mind.

And when you're gone, it looks like things gonna be a lot easier

His mind was clouded with images of his beloved wife, Cindy Vortex. Where was she now? She never contacted him nor try to see what he's been up to.

Life will be a breeze, you know

I really should be glad

Jimmy realized he did not get anything from the book he was reading. He stared at the ceiling, frustrated. Having realized how much he misses her, Jimmy finally broke down and released all the feelings he's been bottling up. Tears started falling and his vision became blurred and full of wet tears formed by sadness.

But I'm bluer than blue

Sadder than sad

You're the only light this empty room has ever had

Life without you is gonna be

Blue than blue

Jimmy put down the book he was reading and sat up on their bed. He recollected and reminisced. The way her hair smelled like jasmine when she lied down beside him, the way she would constantly nag at him for not being able to go with her on a date, and the simple things she would do to show her love for him like by reminding him incessantly every night to sleep early and not tire himself.

''Jimmy! I thought you said we would go to Chef Lollie's Bistro tonight! You promised!'' Cindy Vortex's voice started to echo in Jimmy's ears.

''Jimmy, you have to sleep already, you have to. Just look at yourself in the mirror, you're a mess! I'm serious! You can't go to your meeting tomorrow looking like that, Jimmy,'' Jimmy remembered his precious wife saying these words, holding his shoulders as he typed in his computer.

As he did not move an inch from where he was from, Cindy Vortex's soft, gentle smile transformed into a clench.

''Jimmy! I'm serious! Ugh, this won't do, let's go,'' Cindy said as she pulled Jimmy up from his seat and pulled him to their bedroom.

''Cindy,'' Jimmy uttered as she tucked him in bed, making him feel like a kid begging his mother to listen to his explanation.

''Not tonight,'' Cindy simply replied as she walked around the bed and lied down beside him closely. They were facing each other and Jimmy sniffed the jasmine scent coming from her blonde hair as he closed his eyes. After a while, he opened them and saw Cindy, half asleep.

He looked at her lovingly, his gaze travelling from her eyes to her soft-looking, pink, plump lips. It looked kissable and irresistible. In less than a second, his lips closed the gap between them and Cindy's eyes swiftly opened. She saw Jimmy smiling at her. She looked away, shy and blushing.

''What was that for?'' Cindy asked as she looked at Jimmy's chest, her cheeks still flaming with pink tint.

''I'm your husband, remember? Am I not allowed to do that?'' Jimmy smirked.

''Gosh Cindy! After all we've been through!'' Jimmy added after noticing Cindy's unwavering timid expression.

Cindy remembered the day Jimmy proposed to her. She bombarded him with lots of questions, ruining the romantic mood of the proposal.

''Why should I marry you?'' Cindy asked, her eyebrows raised.

''Because you love me, and I love you'' Jimmy answered confidently.

''That's it?'' Cindy replied, she looked bored and sounded like she was waiting for something else.

After a long moment of silence, ''C'mon Neutron, I'm waiting,'' Cindy said, her arms crossed.

''So I can kiss you… anytime I want,'' At this point, Jimmy lost confidence in his unbelievably childish answer and avoided Cindy's eyes.

While Cindy just stood motionless and rigid. She didn't expect the answer, it was way better than what she had in mind. It was just so sweet and so genuine that she lost all of her strength to fight the very sheepish smile forming in her face.

''Jimmy!''

''So, will you accept me or not? It's hard to kneel for a long time you know?'' Jimmy asked as he looked up once more before being pulled by Cindy.

''Oh, sorry, sorry. Of course, James, I accept you, do I have another choice?'' Cindy replied as she hugged Jimmy.

But where were they now?

I'm bluer than blue

Sadder than sad

You're the only light this empty room has ever had

Life without you is gonna be

Bluer than blue

Jimmy, who was still sitting upright, lied down again and closed his eyes.

''I guess I have to accept the fact that she's gone forever,'' Jimmy thought but at the same time, he wondered where Cindy could be. Perhaps, if he finds out, he could visit her even juts once or twice. But it was unlikely.

He never stopped thinking of her. He never stopped loving her. He never got tired of worrying about her. He never got tired of praying that someday, they would meet again and start over.

Jimmy knew the nights would surely be colder.

~~~Who wants a sequel? I already have something in mind :)) ~~~
