A/N: OMG I UPDATED… It's been so long since I've actually updated. I'm sorry everyone for the major delay. I've had major writer's block and other personal issues. But lets hope that I can keep this up now. LoL

Paul and Stephanie were laughing and talking again. It seemed as if the two had never drifted apart in the first place when he moved. Time was passing by so slowly to the two of them while they waited for sponge bob to come on. Paul stood up and walked over to the entertainment center and turned on the music.

"Do you still like all the same music babe?" Paul questioned going through some cds that he had.

"Yeah, pretty much" Stephanie smiled at the familiar pet name he used to call her when they dated.

Stephanie watched as Paul looked through some cds. She smiled to herself. He hadn't changed. Well besides becoming more handsome then he already was. Randy had upset her earlier that day and her heart ached from the fight. Whenever she was upset when she was younger she would always run to Paul. He always knew how to make her feel better. So maybe that was why she ran to him today when her and Randy got into that fight she wondered. It was just instant reaction to the past.

"I'll be right back, someone is at the door." Paul spoke exiting the living room

Her eyes followed Paul as he left her in the living room. She sat there quietly for a moment until she heard laughter. After sitting there a few more minutes, Stephanie stood up and walked over to the door where Paul was with his guest.

"Why didn't you just tell me it was you?" Paul asked the male at the door.

"Because then it wouldn't have been a surprise when I stopped in" He spoke. "Well can I come in?"

"Yeah, come on in, you can meet my best friend." Paul replied.

"The girl you broke up with because you had to move?" He responded.

"Yeah, that's the one." Paul answered as the male walked further into the house.

"RANDY!" Stephanie screeched.

"STEPHANIE!" Randy said loudly staring at her.

Paul looks at the two of them and scratches his head. He thought for a minute or two and finally came to the conclusion. Randy, his best friend was Stephanie's fiancé. Why hadn't he put it together in the first place.

"I can't believe this?" Paul stood at the door.

"You're the friend that was on the phone?" Stephanie asked shock taking over her.

"Yeah, surprise isn't it." Randy said surprised himself.

"This is your fiancé?" Paul questioned out loud.

"Yes." Stephanie and Randy answered at the same time.

"You're his ex-girlfriend and you didn't tell me?" Randy said anger in his voice.

"Yeah, I am, and there should be no problem!" Stephanie stated firmly.

"There is a problem." Randy said his voice getting louder. "You only said he was your best friend, you didn't tell me that the two of you dated."

Paul looked at the two arguing. He didn't know what to do or what to say. He didn't want to get the middle, but he already had a feeling he was. His ex-girlfriend the love of his life and his best friend were engaged. How could he not be in the middle.

"I only told you that we were friends because I knew you didn't have to worry about anything." Steph replied at the verge of tears again.

"Nothing to worry about?" Randy exclaimed.

"That's what I said!" Stephanie said anger clear in her voice now.

"It's nothing to worry about, but I've heard all the stories and how if the chance came and you two re-met that he'd do anything to get you back in his life." Randy said glaring at Stephanie.

"That's enough" Paul said ending the argument. "Randy, nothing is going on with Stephanie and I. She told me in the beginning that she's was happily engaged to you. Also, it so happens that I've moved on since I told you those stories" Paul lied.

Stephanie looked at Paul when he had said those last few words. He had moved on. Moved on from her. It stung her in the heart, as if a bee had stung her. She didn't know why it upset her when he said that, because she had moved on too.

Randy looked at his fiancé and then to his best friend. He believed his best friend and that nothing was going on. He was angry though, because you would have figured she would have told him about Paul and her dating if they were the past. Right? Unless she still had feelings for him and that's why she didn't say anything, and she wasn't expecting him to come back into her life.

"Sorry, but I'll get going now." Randy said looking at Stephanie. "I'll see you tomorrow?"

"I don't' know." Stephanie said in a low voice.

"Alright." Randy spoke and looked at Paul. "Sorry about all of that."

"Its no problem." Paul replied patting him on the back. "I'll see yaw later."

And with that Randy walked out the door and Paul shut it. He looked back at Stephanie who was looking down at the ground. He felt bad and upset for her. But she hadn't told Randy that they dated. He was curious as to why she hadn't. The only thing she could think of was that maybe she still had feelings for him. He shook that thought out of his head. There was no way she still had fillings for him, she was engaged. Right? Paul looked at his watch and smirked. He knew this would make her smile.

"Steph?" He questioned.

"What?" She said looking down playing with her engagement ring.

"Only 15 minutes!" Paul said with excitement.

"YAY!" Stephanie shot her head up with a smile.

They both ran to their rooms, Stephanie of course running to the guest room. They grabbed their pillows and blankets and ran back into the living room. Then Paul ran into the kitchen and got the two 2 liter bottles of soda and some popcorn and brought it back out to the living room and set it on the coffee table. The two got comfortable on the couch all wrapped up in their blankets and Paul grabbed the remote and turned the T.V. on.

"Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?" Paul sang with the cartoon show.

"Sponge Bob Square Pants!" Stephanie replied sings along.
