It's definitely been forever and a day since I've last updated and I'm sorry for that. There's going to be one more chapter to this fic after this one. Thanks to everyone who's stuck with it for so long =)

If there was a non-physical aspect about her boyfriend that completely drew her in, she'd have to say that it would be his personality. It sounds unbelievably cliché, but that was the truth of it all.

The fact that they were so completely different and polar opposites fascinated her, even when they were just starting out their friendship. She had the reputation of being the town's resident hot-head, of being sometimes a bit too passionate and also known for being the type to act before thinking. She wasn't patient, not really, and she was known for arguing first and listening later.

He, on the other hand, was known to be level-headed. He could remain calm in the most stressful of situations—though, it was hard for him not to be, since he caused most of these situations during his younger years—and he was known to be the type to think things through before acting on them. He wasn't easily angered; it definitely took a lot to get him to that point. He was patient, extremely so; and he always listened first, even in a heated argument, he could keep himself at a level where he could hear out the opposing opinion before giving one of his own. He just balanced her out that way.

During the times that she'd get upset or frustrated, he'd be one of the few that would be able to calm her down. If she was going to do something stupid because of some rash decision that she made, he'd be there to stop her and get her to listen to reason.

Then there were sides to his personality that weren't as well known by most; these were the sides that were reserved for the closest people in his life, which of course, included her. He was passionate. So passionate, that there were times when she'd think he was definitely had more of it than her.

She'd see it in him when he worked on his inventions, and she'd be able to see the spark in his eyes as he fully invested his attention into whatever he was working on. Then there were their fights and arguments that happened from time to time. During those times, the passion in his eyes were blazing blue infernos. But, during the times that they weren't arguing or bickering, he'd always have that passion in his eyes whenever he looked at her. It made her feel loved, knowing that someone was passionate about her.

Then there was his majorly protective side. He was protective of her, his family and his friends. He was always subtle in the way that he looked out for all of them. He'd always make small mental notes to the things that made them upset and unknown to them, he'd go confront or fix whatever or whoever it was as soon as he could. Even she had rarely seen this side to him and hadn't known how deep his protectiveness ran until he had gotten suspended for getting in a fight with Butch since the school bully was insulting her.

Jimmy's personality could be divided into what people could see every day and to what only a select few could. Either way, both sides all together made up an amazing person. He cared for people, unconditionally and deeply and he took care of the people that he loved. With a personality that great, it definitely became one of the biggest factors to Cindy falling in love with him.
