Spinelli started up at TJ, still feeling irritable "come on TJ, I mean it, cut the crap! Jokes over, now let's just finish this? I've got a flight to catch!"
"Seriously? You've gotta be shitting me! You turn up here after six years without so much of a phone call? Or a hi there Teej, it's me, your wife, lookin good hun!"
"You expect me to tell you that you looked good?" snapped Spinelli, folding her arms across her chest "Seriously? I mean you've been wearing that fucking lucky red hat of yours since kindergarten! How the hell has one hat survived over twenty years? It's just yet another thing that hasn't changed around here!" Spinelli paused for a moment, pulled out a copy of the bill of divorcement from her bag, before continuing "Now all you have to do is sign! I've even put these idiot-proof tabs on there, since signing this thing seems so mentally challenging for you! You know my lawyer bills me every time you sent the fucking papers back?"
"Do they laugh at that sort of shit up north, or wherever the hell you've been?"
"Oh come on TJ, you know exactly where I've been!"
"Right" replied TJ, his tone equally irritable "It's been all over the papers, how does it feel to be engaged to the mayor's son? To think I'd been hoping you'd come down all the way down to see me, just because you missed me!"
"Oh don't even pretend like you've spent you're time missing me" snapped Spinelli, looking as TJ turned around, and began walking back inside "What the hell are you doing?"
"Leaving" snapped TJ "You did it, you should recognise the gesture!"
"TJ!" should Spinelli, storming up the wooden steps after TJ "JUST SIGN THE BOODY PAPERS SO I CAN GET BACK HOME!"
"Home?" asked TJ, turning around to face Spinelli, in the doorway "You're going to talk to me about home? When was the last time you spoke to your parents Spinelli? Hell, I bet they don't even know you're in town!"
"That's none of your damn business TJ!"
"We're still married, so technically they're still my in-laws, so it just might be my business! Those people are the only family you've got, with Vito in person for another ten years, and Joey in and out of jail constantly, you're really they only family they have too! So get your ass back in that car, drive over there and see 'em, then maybe I'll think about signing!" said TJ placing his hands either side of the doorframe, and looking down at Spinelli.
"You stupid, stubborn, redneck hick, the only reason you want sign these papers, is because I want you too!"
"Wrong! The only reason I won't sign them is because you buggered off to New York, and turned into some stuck up yankie bitch, and i'd like nothing better right now than to piss you off!" replied TJ, slamming the door in Spinelli's face.
Spinelli glared though the glass door furiously at him, while TJ leaned against the doorframe grinning at her proudly. Seeing her turn on her heal, her hair whipping behind her, as she made her way toward the back door. TJ raced through the house, locking the door before heading to fridge and rewarding himself to a beer. Cracking it open, he leant on the doorway of the kitchen, and took a swig. It took several moments for him to realise that the front door, which had been previously locked, was now open.
"Hey genius" said a voice in his ear, startling him so he coughed and sputtered on his beer. TJ turned around, to see Spinelli facing him, her shoulder leaning the wall, smiling brazenly at him "Next time you lock somebody out, make sure they don't know where the spare key is hidden!"
TJ looked at Spinelli, crossing his arms and raising is eyebrow, showing himself to be disinterested "would you look at the time, you know, it's really not convenient to have my wife dropping by"
"I'm not your wife TJ, not really. I'm just the girl that picked the short straw in the experiment and kissed you" said Spinelli, she and TJ looked at each other for a moment, before she carried on "You implied I'd changed, and you're right, I have changed. I'm a completely different person now, I don't even know that girl anymore!"
"Now that I can believe" replied TJ, turning his back on Spinelli and walking through to the bedroom "I'll be sure to remind you of who that girl is" he said, before kicking the door shut with his foot. Meanwhile Spinelli paced the living room irritably.
"I hope you don't have any plans to go rushing back to New York tonight" said TJ, emerging from the bedroom ten minutes later, as he said this, Spinelli noticed a red flashing light, reflecting off the walls, turning around, she could see a police car pulling up outside.
"You called the sheriff? Really TJ? You know that old bastard has hated me ever since we TPed his house!" snapped Spinelli, making a run for the back door, as TJ opened the front door.
"No way!" said a familiar voice from behind her excitedly "SPINELLI?"
"Gus?" said Spinelli turning and looking at her friend a little uncertainly, recognising him, she hurried over and hugged him "since when are you the sheriff? Last I heard you were enrolled in the army?"
"Yeah, I was" said Gus "But I injured by back when a roadside bomb went off, and its left me unable to be on the front lines, and that was the only thing I wanted to do in the army, so I decided to make a fresh start"
"Sorry" replied Spinelli, simply, the smiling again as she noticed Gus was wearing a wedding ring "You're married? Who to?"
"-I called you because Spinelli's broken into my house" said TJ, interrupting.
"I didn't!" snapped Spinelli, "I used the spare key, the one that used to be mine!"
"Well it's still not your house Spinelli, sorry but I'm going to have to escort you out" explained Gus
"Gus, if you can just get him to sign these divorce papers, I'll let you escort me out, in fact you can run me right outa town!" replied Spinelli, as she held the papers, feeling determined to get what she wanted.
"Hell TJ, I thought you said you took care of this" said Gus, looking over his shoulder at TJ
"Yeah, and I thought I did" muttered TJ, looking at the ground.
"Obviously not" replied Spinelli sarcastically.
"Well if you two are still married, it's her house too" said Gus making his way to the door "Not that it wasn't nice to see you Spinelli, but I've got to get back to work. Plus, you two have a whole lot of catching up to do"
"Hey Gus" said TJ suddenly, as his friend reached the front door "Isn't there some outstanding warrant for whoever dumped Principle Prickly's old golf cart into the outdoor swimming pool? That was Spinelli!"
"I'm sorry Spinelli, but there is, I'm going to have to take you in" said Gus, Spinelli cooperated fully, glaring daggers at TJ as she allowed Gus to escort her from the house.

So there was chapter 3! I hope you guys enjoyed it! A lot of emotions running between TJ and Spinelli! What do you think will happen? Will he sign? Will they get along any better? What brought them here in the first place?
Last time I was posting in a rush, and managed to space and completly forget to post my replys and whatnot to your reviews, So i'll do it for both chapters here!
BayBee-Gurl19: Ch1: I love this movie as well! It's such a classic! I was watching and was like 'omg! I have to make this recess style!' and several long months later, I have!
Ch2: mwahahah! I love leaving cliff hangers! They're so fun as a writer! This will have a few different bits to the film here and there where i've tried to change it up, but if you've seen the film, you'll definetly have an idea about what may happen! I hope you liked this chapter!
Rose-Aki: Ch1: I'm glad you think it was right for me to start off the story with the kissing scene, the film started off with a dream of Mel and Jakes first kiss, so I thought it would be good to start out mine the same! TJ is now in the picture! And we'll have to see if Spinelli's 'gut feeling' crops up again, and see if it has anything to do with TJ!
Ch2: Yup, chapter 2 was eventful, and this one was too! What do you think to the start of the TJ/Spinelli moments? We'll have to see how (or if) they progress! :) I hope you liked chapter 3!
Omgpear: Ch1: Its so cool you've not seen sweet home alabama, just because there's more of a mystery about what may, or may not happen! I do recommend you watch it if you like that sort of film! The song features in the film.
Ch2: Yup! TJ and Spinelli are married! And she wants too divorce him, so she can marry her new man! Lots of drama! I hope you enjoyed this chapter! Keep reading to find out if they warm to each other, or if he signs the papers, and of course, what led them to be in this position in the first place!
I really hope you've enjoyed this chapter, if you had please review, or if you didn't, and could offer me some constructive criticism please do!
