Night At The Museum

Love Me

Chapter 10:

(Larry)

In order to get the answers from the Einsteins, we had to leave the museum we were in, which backfired because Kahmunrah's guards started to chase us once we exited the building. Amelia ran towards a sign as I followed her, she pressed her back against the sign and looked at the guards who were blocking the other museum "I'm afraid we're Jimmy-Jacked" she mentioned, I looked down at her "funny" I said, she looked up at me like I was crazy. "What?" She asked "the word, Jimmy-Jacked, it doesn't sound like something you'd say" I said looking at the other museum. Amelia continued to look at me "the guards know we're out here and headed towards the other museum which leaves us. . ." She trailed off "Jimmy-Jacked" we said together, I put a hand on Amelia's shoulder to gesture her towards the statue of Abraham Lincoln, we hid behind the pillars so the guards wouldn't find us.

"So, do you like your job?" Amelia asked, she pressed herself against the pillar, I looked at her in disbelief. "Y-yeah I love my job. . ." I hesitated, but I did miss my old job as a night guard.

I missed Atilla and his comrades  yelling and walking around happily, the tiny duo and their buddy, I have to make sure that I don't step on them  or anything, I miss Teddy giving me advice about anything, I also miss seeing him and Sacagawea together taking a ride on Tex throughout the museum, I miss little dexter who drove me insane. I also miss the young love between Ahkmenrah and Maco, who enjoy chasing after each other in the halls, or dancing with each other in the main hall, or sharing kisses when the sun starts to come up. To be honest, I'm sort of jealous when it comes to Teddy, Sacagawea, Ahkmenrah, and Maco. They're love for each other makes me wish I had someone to love, I mean, I enjoyed the kiss that Amelia gave me inside of the other museum felt nice and warm. I felt wanted, I felt needed when I was with Amelia. But, this was wrong, she was wax. And I was human.

We couldn't be together.
But, Maco was with an Egyptian Pharaoh. We fall in love whether we liked it or not. It wasn't wrong to fall in love.

Was it?

When I left Nicky's mother. I felt like I lost a piece of myself. And that was the same thing that happened to Maco, when she left Ahkmenrah, to come get back her her friends, her family, she lost a piece of herself. She felt horrible leaving him behind.

But what didn't kill you made you stronger.

I still wondered why Maco found love for Ahkmenrah. He was a 4,000 year old mummy, who was kind and generous to her.

Wait, I started to figure out why she loved him. Because no matter what she said to him, he was intrigued, when she was cried, he comforted her. He made her feel like she was the only girl in the world. His eyes were always on her. She was his world.

There was no guy out here like him. Maybe that's what Amelia saw in me. Maybe I was handsome to her, maybe my actions made her feel alive, I was giving her an adventure by trying to save Maco and Jedediah. And who was I to not look at Amelia, she was outgoing, she was brave, and beautiful.

Who wouldn't love a girl like that?

I didn't gawk at her body, just her face. The face and personality is what I usually see on a woman.

What I would give to find someone who loved me.
