Jealousy

Chapter 3

The next morning the kids of LazyTown were lining up outside the gym hall, waiting for Sportacus and Maddie to open the doors. Basketballs, hoops and mattresses were organized in stations for the kids to play.

"Ooh, I can't wait to see what Sportacus had planned for us!" Stephanie told her friends.

"Yes, oh, I bet Madeline had prepared some really fun stuff," Stingy added.

"Madeline?! Since when do you get to call her by her full name?" Trixie asked.

"Since things are getting closer between me and her," Stingy said and fixed his tie.

"SINCE WHEN?!" Trixie yelled at him.

"Well, for example, she and I had a deep, interesting conversation just last week," Stingy told his friends.

"You mean, when she came back from the grocery store and you tried to talk to her, but you were just mumbling all the time and she thought you had some kind of fever?" Pixel asked and Stingy frowned.

Meanwhile, inside the gym hall, Sportacus and Maddie made sure that everything was set and ready for the kids.

"So, I think it's time for us to open the doors," Maddie said.

"Yeah, well, I still think that something's missing..." Sportacus said and looked around.

"What? What is it?" she asked as he approached closer and kissed her on the lips.

"There it is!" he smiled and she laughed and rolled her eyes.

"Ok, now can we go?" she said as she walked towards the doors.

"Oh, wait, wait, wait!" he caught her by the shoulder.

"What?" she rolled her eyes again and he kissed her again.

"Ok, now I'm ready," he laughed again.

"You're an idiot, you know," she told him.

"I know. But I'm your idiot," he winked at her and they both opened the doors and the kids rushed in.

Stephanie immediately went to Sportacus's side, and Stingy went to see what station Maddie was instructing.

All the kids had fun playing so many kinds of games until it was lunch time. One time Stephanie even slipped on the floor and Sportacus caught her before she hit the floor. Needless to say that she didn't want him to let her go.

"Alright kids, we had a great time with you today, but unfortunately it's all over, and you guys need to go home for lunch!" Maddie said and all the kids made a sound of disappointment.

"Hey, don't worry, we can still play with you in the afternoon," Sportacus said, and the cheered them up a little.

All the kids were gone, even Stingy, but Stephanie was left behind. She wanted to be with Sportacus a little bit more. If only Maddie wasn't getting in the way...

"Hey, Stephanie, is everything ok, did you lose something?" Maddie asked as she and Sportacus started to pick up everything.

"Um, no... Just wondered if you guys needed any help cleaning up or something," Stephanie faked a smile.

"Oh, thanks, sweetie, but we got this. Now go back home for lunch and tell my dad that I'll be eating with Sportacus, ok?" Maddie told her.

"Oh, ok..." Stephanie nodded and left. Also, for the first time, she had the urge to kill someone.

"Is it just me, or that Stephanie is being weird?" Maddie asked her boyfriend.

"I don't know. Why?" he said.

"I don't know, but I'm sensing that something is wrong with her. I wonder if she's ok..." Maddie said.

"You're probably imagining things, if she had any trouble she would come to me. And if that will happen, trust me, I will tell you right away," Sportacus told her.

"Thanks. It's really important to me... She's my favorite cousin, you know..." Maddie smiled at him and the two left the gym to have lunch in his airship.

Later that day, after playing all the afternoon with the kids as they had promised, Sportacus and Maddie retired to bed. You know, the one in Sportacus's airship.

"So how about we will forget about dinner, and," she said when she took breath while they were kissing, "have the dessert right now, huh?"

"I say let's go for it!" he said and led her to his bed. She lied and he was on top of her, and they started to take the clothes off of each other.

"God, you're so beautiful and sexy I don't even know how I stop myself every day from not to tear off your clothes every time I see you!" he said as he was done and left her in her underwear.

"Tell me about it, everybody can see the way that you look at me! I mean they all raise an eyebrow every time," she slightly laughed.

He started to kiss her lips, then her neck, and then... Well, he went all the way down, until the real action started...

"So where is Maddie? I don't see or hear her anywhere," Bessie said.

"She's with Sportacus, where else?" Stephanie and switched the channel on the TV.

"Well, at least I'm glad it's summer now. When it was school year it was hard to keep them away like that, and whenever she stayed over at Sportacus, she was late in 15 minutes to school. So now at least that won't hurt her report card anymore," Milford said and joined Bessie with his cup of coffee next to the counter.

"Yeah, unless she will start the next school year pregnant," Stephanie said dryly, not taking her eyes off the screen.

"Excuse me?" both Milford and Bessie spat their coffee.

"Well, I'm 11, not stupid. We all know what they are doing there right now," she said and went back to her show.

"Well, I... They are old enough to know what they're doing and I trust them. Now, let's please not talk about this subject anymore," Milford said.

A couple of hours later, Sportacus and Maddie were cuddling under the blanket, just enjoying the lovely moment.

"God, I wish I could sleep and wake up next to you every day," Maddie told him as he kissed her shoulder.

"Well, maybe someday you will," he told her. She turned her face to him and raised an eyebrow at him.

"Hey, I promise you, you'll get the ring from me someday," he laughed and kissed her cheek.

"Well, I'll remember it for the record," she laughed too.

"Ah, I can already see that: You, walking down the aisle in the LazyTown church in a beautiful white gown. Me, waiting for you in a nice suite, and crying because you look so amazing... Say, how about we will get married tomorrow? We can fix something," Sportacus told her and she burst into laughter.

"Oh my god! And I thought only girls think about this kind of things!" she laughed and he laughed too. They even actually laughed themselves to sleep.
