Ocean Spongebob Novels & Stories

*** “This is Spongebob. He is Barbie’s boyfriend.” “Why Spongebob? Hulk is a lot better. He is strong, and he’s a superhero.” “He’s ugly! And he can’t even talk. Hulk only smashes.” “Then Barbie is not a nice person. She doesn’t like Hulk just because he’s ugly?” “She isn’t mean. You are mean! MOM!!” “Mica, you chose Barbie, let Manu choose the toy he wants to use.” The two women were watching this exchange through the large glass doors that connected the garden to the living room.

“Tell Ivan he’s wrong. SpongeBob is the funniest. Everyone knows it!” “Nu-uh!” little Ivan shot back, his tiny fists pumping in mock outrage. His cheeks flushed pink, and his soft gray eyes so painfully reminiscent of his father’s, sparkled with mischief. “Tom and Jerry! They’re the best. Right, Uncle Dave?” I chuckled, letting some of the tension ease from my shoulders. “Now, that’s a tricky one. See, SpongeBob makes me laugh until my stomach hurts, but Tom and Jerry? Classic. You can’t beat classic.”

“SpongeBob?” “And you,” Sophia added, tapping her iPad and turning it toward me. “Look at this. ‘The Dangerous Lawyer, the Billionaire Dad, and the Internet’s Favorite Toddler of the Week.’” In the photo, I was laughing, hair flying, sunlight catching on the side of my face. Zane sat next to me, arm draped casually over the back of my chair, looking like a man who knew exactly how handsome, rich, and dangerously addictive he was, more potent than espresso shots mixed with unresolved daddy issues.

Finally. Johnny, the little rascal, took the chance and curled like a puppy by my side. I shook my head but let him. It was barely past noon and we were having a SpongeBob marathon. Maybe it was my way of bribing him for the past few days, maybe it wasn’t.

Halos maubo siya at inilapag kaagad ang tasa ng iniinom na kape saka madaliang nilunok ang likidong nasa bibig. Over ang kanyang reaction, alam niya 'yon pero hindi niya lang mapigilan ang halo-halong emosyon na lumukob sa kanya. "Talaga? Isasama niya ako?" nanlaki ang kanyang mata at halos maiiyak na dahil sa galak.

Bruna gasps as her mouth draws an 'o'. Troy looks at his watch. "It's 7:10 pm." "Noooo!" Bruna cries out. "I'm 10 minutes late for SpongeBob!" Really? A cartoon? She kicks my legs from her lap and sinks on the couch to watch SpongeBob. She's acting as if this is her house. It's not. "Oh," Bruna sits up on the couch looking at Troy and me. "I almost forgot!" She taps her forehead. "Guess what?"

Her cries eventually died down, and Pierce followed them with sweet pecks on her lips. “Pierce?” “Hmm?” “Mark your calendar. Next Saturday, it’s on and popping.” “Why next Saturday?” Pierce curiously asked. “We’re going to the coast. Don’t you remember?” “I completely forgot about that with everything that happened since Bingo Night. Are you sure you’re ready?” “I’m SpongeBob ready,” Arianna answered. “You lost me. I don’t know what that means.” “You know how Spongebob says-” “No, I don’t know what SpongeBob says. I don’t have any kids. So, there’s no reason for me to be watching SpongeBob.”

"Just teasing, baby girl. Anyway, in the 80s too many of the sponges were found to be contaminated by pollution. Pretty much shut down the industry. But Captain Filippo was telling me about a guy who is trying to get the sponge business up and running again." They rode to the island of Symi, where they were met on the dock by Kadmos Drivas. Luke filmed as Kadmos greeted Bella with a kiss on each cheek. As he watched through his lens, Luke reflected that the guy was probably the kind of man women would find attractive, all tanned with jet black hair and flashing dark eyes. He hoped the dude minded his manners. It would be a shame to have to kick the guy's ass, he thought.

"Hala! SpongeBob!" Tumawa na ako gano'n din si Nanay na nasa kusina ng makita naming dahan dahang mag lakad si Seb palapit sa malaking SpongeBob at saka ito marahang hinawakan at maya maya pa ay sinakayan na. "Ate naman eh! Syempre hindi na ako galit sa'yo ang galing galing mo kayang manlambing." Umirap ako at hindi na mapawi ang ngiti. Nang biglang tumunog ang cellphone ko.
