Ch.5
"What's wrong with sandy?" Pearl asked as she sipped on her soda. Today the gal pals had decided to stop by the mall to go shopping, Pearls Idea, they were in the food court snacking on the concessions.
"My guess, it has to do with a certain lil sponge again, what happened this time." Mrs. Puff asked as she sipped on a beverage. Sandy shook her head, "Nothin.. Everything is just fine." she said as she played with her food.
"You're not fine, my readers indicate that you are sad, dare i say, heart broken?" Karen said as she pulled a sensor back into her computer monitor just as Puff nudged the computer.
"You wanna talk about it?" Mrs. Puff asked, Sandy just shook her head before reaching her hand inside her suit to wipe her eyes, "heh, stupid dust, stuff gets everywhere." she faked a laugh while the other three exchanged glances.
"Did something happen between you and the yellow guy? Or is it not related?" Karen asked.
"Spongebob?" Pearl asked since she had missed a majority of the past brunches, she hadn't been caught up on the latest drama.
"You know, I was at goo lagoon the other day, and i could of sworn I seen Spongebob, and you wouldn't believe what he was doing." Pearl began to speak as she nibbled on a salad.
The women all looked at Pearl for her to continue, "I heard that he shacked up with someone, and from what mouths speak, he's pretty good, I almost didn't believe it until I saw him make out with some woman on the beach." Pearl shook her head.
Sandy's jaw hung open a little, "I thought he was joking. You actually saw him with someone?" Sandy asked, it must have been when he had invited her to go to the beach with him, the woman he had started to see.
"What did she look like?" Sandy asked with some urgency.
Pearl sat still for a moment to read Sandy's body language, "I don't know, it was kind of hard to tell, she was pink, and kind of short. She really seemed to like what he was giving." Pearl responded.
"Why? Is there something wrong?" Pearl asked.
"Turns out her and Spongebob had a thing going on for a few months, they've been using each other bodies for pleasure while not actually being a couple. What happened, did he break it off?" Karen asked before Sandy started to cry out loud.
"I'm so Stupid! If I hadn't been So mean to em, and given em what he wanted, none of this would be happening right now." Sandy continued to cry as the girls rushed to comfort her.
"So wait, before. Does that mean you were fuck buddies? People have been talking about Spongebob's affairs for weeks now, are you saying that it was you? I gotta ask, is any of it true?" Pearl asked before she laughed a little, "I never thought that Spongebob would be such a little pervert," Pearl said before Mrs. Puff jabbed her in the side to get her to shut up..
"You know what I think this is good for him. I know it sounds harsh but, how long were you planning on using him? You all know he can be annoying but you also know that he is a good honest man, and who appears to be an amazing lover, based on what you've said, it's really not a surprise." Karen said.
"She's right, this girl could be the one for him, he seemed so happy after she left the beach. You didn't expect him to not find someone, did you? I mean with all the gossip." Pearl shrugged before she turned back to Sandy.
"You didn't fall in love with him, did you?" Pearl asked, Sandy looked at her, unable to answer, "because if you have that's sad, but if you haven't and you just want to keep being F buddies, instead of letting him be happy with someone else, that's messed up." Pearl pointed a fork at her.
"Hey, look to your 3 o'clock, i think that's her." Karen said, sure enough it was her with her friends, "Are you sure that's her?" Mrs. Puff asked, "Positive, shes been coming to the Krusty Krab everyday for the last few weeks, just to see him." Karen said.
"That's the same girl from the beach." Pearl confirmed, "except, with more clothes."
"You know, I can't say I blame him. Shes kind of hot, and sorry Sandy, with the jugs she's carrying, I bet he couldn't take his eyes off them." Mrs. Puff admitted as they watched them go into the clothes department.
"Oh girl look at this, this dress looks so sexy, you wear something like this, and he'll want to tear it off you." One of them, who we will call Barbra said as she held up a silk dress.
"So, are you gonna do it?" another one of the girls who we'll call Amber said as she held up another dress, "If you plan to do it, you need to get you one of these." another one named Holly, said as she held up some very sexy and revealing lingerie.
"I don't know, I really don't think Spongebob cares for things like that." Carla tried speaking up before she was slapped on the back by Amber who was laughing.
"He's a guy, of course he'll love it, better yet, you can wear this dress, and nothing else under it, and then he won't need to tear it off you, he can just stick it in." Amber said as she hugged Carla from behind.
"Just make sure you tell us every last detail, better yet why not make a movie. If he is as good as they say we can get rich of that content." Amber said before they started to laugh.
A FEW MINUTES LATER
The gal pals had made it outside the store, all surprised about what they had heard.
"That no good sponge stealin, did y'all hear that? That fish doesn't even care about Spongebob, theyre just using him to get beneath his pants and-" Sandy began to pace, fuming with anger.
"What makes what she's doing any different then what you were doing?" Pearl asked as she crossed her arms.
"Yer just a teenager so you wouldn't understand any of this." Sandy defended before she let out a sigh.
"SpongeBob knew what we had and what we were doing, he knew the details. Unlike this one, she doesn't actually love him. You heard them talking in there!" Sandy gestures back to the store.
"They just want to take em for a joy ride so they can brag about it to their friends and social media, she knows nothing about him! She hasnt spent nearly enough time with him to understand him, and He doesn't know the truth." Sandy shook her head.
"What are you going to do? Tell him? So you can sleep with him instead?" Mrs. Puff asked nonchalantly.
Sandy blushed at the statement, "what? No! SpongeBob is my best friend and as his friend it's my responsibility ta tell him anything important."
Sandy sighed under her breath, what would she tell him? Hey Spongebob, your girlfriend is a fraud.
Would he even listen? Would he turn her away? How could she make him listen?
"What if you made one last effort, maybe secure the relationship like he's always wanted? It's obvious you have feelings for him, Sandy." Karen suggested while Sandy just listened.
"Yeah, what Karen said. If you say that he had loved you for a long time, I seriously doubt his feelings would go away like that." Mrs. Puff nod her head.
"I may be a teenager and might not understand like you said, Sandy but, their ideas might sound great and all but, would any of it work? And the Real question is, Do You Actually love him?" Pearl asked while crossing her arms, "Spongebob was like a sweet older brother to me, and as much as I love our group, I just have to ask. Do you love him the way he loves you, or are your feeling for another reason?" Pearl asked again.
"I think Pearl is right, Sandy. If you really love him you need to confess before it's too late, but if you're only doing this for yourself for the wrong benefits, wouldn't it be best if you left him alone?" Karen asked.
Tears began to flow from Sandy's eyes once again but she quickly wiped them away, "I don't know, ok? It's all so confusing." Sandy said as she looked back to her friends.
"I say why not try and give it to him one last time? Make the effort and show him you've changed your mind, it might not work out, but at least you would know you tried." Mrs. Puff said.
"I dunno." Sandy sighed while looking away, what could she do? Spongebob made it clear that he was no longer interested, but then again, that's what she said all those other times before the whole goofy arrangement.
"The best you can do is try, and then at least you'd know that you tried." Mrs. Puff said as she looked towards her phone.
"I gotta go ladies, I've got some tests to grade, and good luck Sandy." Mrs. Puff waved before she left.
A FEW HOURS LATER
His shift just finished at the Krusty Krab and it was time for the sponge to head home. It had been a few days since he and Carla had decided to give each other a chance.
Tonight would be their first date and Spongebob was a little nervous. He barely knew Carla and for her to ask him out, but that's what dates were for and it was exciting.
Maybe this was what was meant to happen, Carla was a beautiful young lady and she was sweet and smart. Carla could breathe water and they could kiss almost anywhere, there was no stupid helmet to get in the way of things.
The date wouldn't start for another couple hours and so that gave Spongebob time to get ready, and he wanted to look his best.
"Gary, I'm home!" SpongeBob announced from the door that he proceeded to lock shut.
"Why is it so dark in here?" Spongebob asked as he turned around to find a small water candle on the floor, as he stepped closer he began to notice that there were more, and around the candles were, rose petals?
"Gary? Did you do this? You know you're not supposed to leave candles unattended." Spongebob said as he proceeded to extinguish each candle he found that lead upstairs.
"Meow" Gary appeared at the bottom of the stairs.
"You didn't do this?" Spongebob asked, confused as ever, "well if you didn't do this, then who did?" Spongebob asked before he began to sweat a little, "um.. Carla? Are you here, Sweetie?" Spongebob asked as he began to make his way up the stairs.
A smile crossed his lips as he began to think that his new girlfriend would make such a romantic gesture.
"I guess you didn't want to wait for our date tonight, did you?" he laughed a little as he made it to his room, the door was cracked open a little.
Spongebob straightened his tie as he cleared his throat, "I thought we were taking this-" Spongebob pushed the door open, "Slow? Sandy?" Spongebob stepped into his room, confused.
Sandy was laying in his bed, a smile displayed across her face, which is when the sponge noticed her outfit which caused his jaw to drop.
"Sandy, what are you doing? Why are you wearing that?" Spongebob asked as he stepped back a little to create some more room between each other.
"Y'all like what ya see, Squarepants?" Sandy asked as she leaned back and spread her legs for him. It was an outfit that she had found at the womens clothing department, never before had she thought she'd be wearing lingerie, and especially not for him.
Spongebob wiped some drool from the corner of his mouth, his heart began to pound, of course she had to look so fucking hot, and hnn fuckable right now.
"You can't be in here, Sandy." Spongebob shook his head, trying to clear his imagination of her.
"Hnn. Why not? Don't y'all wanna play with me?" Sandy asked as she ran her hand between her legs towards her partially split panties where she began to play with herself.
"Oh, Spongebob." she moaned softly as she mouth hung open before she made eye contact with him, as their eyes locked she proceeded to bite her lip and started to touch herself harder and faster.
"Sandy." Spongebob slowly approached her but he stopped himself, slapping himself in the face.
"I know what you're doing, Sandy. I already told you, we can't do this anymore, I have a girlfriend now." Spongebob said with a stern voice this time.
"Why not for old times sake? I want you to make love to me, and then fuck me like the bad squirrel I am." she moaned as she squeezed her breast before she freed them of the thin cloth.
"Make love to you? Sandy, we can't." Spongebob shook his head, "Please?" Sandy asked as she sat up before she slid off his bed and approached him.
Spongebob stepped back, sweat dripping from his face, "Sandy, I said no, don't make this harder then it has to be." Spongebob closed his eyes for a moment, as much as he wanted to take her at this moment, he couldn't. He made a commitment to Carla.
Spongebob gasped as he felt Sandy press her body against his, her bare chest pressed against his face.
"Sandy!" Spongebob pushed back, oh she looked so much better closer, and the smell of her perfume.
"You're making things difficult." he looked up at her, out of breath already, he bit his lip as she reached to unbutton his shirt but he stopped her.
"I said NO! Sandy, i'm sorry but I meant what I said, We are done with this, I can't be your toy anymore, I Have A Girlfriend!" Spongebob pushed back finally, fixing his shirt.
"Oh please, she doesn't even love you." Sandy finally broke crossing her arms over her chest.
"What did you say? Carla Does love me, unlike you, we have a date this evening, and if you don't mind, I'd like to prepare for it, so I need you to leave." Spongebob said as he gestured towards the door.
"I'm not leavin, and yer a fool if you think that stranger cares bout ya. I heard her and her friends talking about ya, and I heard what they said. That Carla lady, is just using ya because she wants ta sleep with ya!" Sandy yelled at him.
Spongebob gasped, "How can you say that? You don't even Know her, but then again, of course You would make up those stories. I don't even know why you care to begin with." Spongebob said as he began to walk out of his room.
"Where are ya going?" Sandy followed after as Spongebob entered another room where a few massive wardrobes were.
"I was thinking about taking her to Fancy, or some other nice place." Spongebob answered as he opened one of the doors that contained his formal tuxedos.
"Yer not taking her on that date, Squarepants." Sandy said as she pulled him back. This only angered the sponge even more, "Sandy, let go! I am going on this date, whether you like it or not, barnacles Sandy, I don't know why you're so upset about this, you act like we're dating and that I'm cheating on you." Spongebob pulled away.
"Let's refresh this, you said you didn't Want a relationship with me. I respect that, but I want a relationship. I want someone that I can love, and love me in return, I want to get married, have children and be happy." Spongebob said before he rubbed the side of his face.
"Do You Want to marry me, Sandy? Do you want to have children together?" Spongebob asked. Sandy hesitated, "That hesitation is all the answer I need, Sandy. Even now, you don't want me, and that is fine. Let me be happy with someone else, Sandy. Please?" Spongebob asked.
Tears started to fill Sandy's eyes, "Spongebob."
"Sandy, please. No more, we can still be friends, that won't change." Spongebob smiled at her before he turned back to the wardrobe and proceeded to pull out an outfit.
"Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get ready. I trust that you can show yourself out, right?" Spongebob turned to her for a second before leaving the room to start a shower.
