The next morning came rather quickly. Stephanie opened her eyes as the sun hit them. She sat up in bed yawning looking to her right. No sign of Randy and the spot seemed to be rather cold, so he must have been up for a while. Getting out of bed she stood up and stretched. She came to the stair case and heard the soft sound of the television on. Stephanie walked down the stairs and to the living room where Randy was. She went over and sat next to him folding one leg underneath her.
"I was getting worried about you." Randy smiled leaning over and kissing her.
"Really, why is that?" Stephanie questioned kissing him back.
"Well, it's 11:30 in the morning and you are usually awake before then." Randy turns his focus to the television.
"I was tired out from yesterday." Stephanie smiled a sleepy grin.
"All we did was go dancing." Randy smirked thinking of yesterday.
"You're forgetting that I did hang out with Paul yesterday too." Stephanie said standing up. "You want me to fix you anything to eat?"
"No thanks babe." Randy replies turning the channel.
Stephanie walks into the kitchen and to the fridge. She looks through it pulling out some eggs, turkey, ham, and cheese. She walks over to the oven and turns the front burner on medium. Allowing the burner to warm up she takes out the bread from the bread box and puts two slices on a plate. As she is doing this she looks out the window and smiles at the beautiful day. She then goes back over to the oven and cracks her eggs into the frying pan ready to make over easy eggs for her sandwich when Randy walks in.
"I almost forgot to tell you." Randy walks in.
"What?" Stephanie flipped one of the eggs.
"Well, you reminded me when you said you hung out with Paul the other day." Randy answered digging in the fridge for something.
"Well, what is it?" Stephanie asked now putting the bread in the toaster.
"Paul called while you were asleep." Randy stated getting the orange juice out and pouring it into a glass. "He wants us to come over for dinner."
"Really!" Stephanie questioned with excitement.
"Yeah, at 5:00 p.m." Randy took a drink of his juice. "He wants us to meet Torrie on a better level."
Stephanie looked up at Randy like he was crazy. Was he serious? Paul wanted them to meet Torrie on a better level. Like get to know her, see if she is right for him. She was either hearing things or Paul was just out of his mind.
"Don't you think that they might be moving too fast." Stephanie questioned. "I mean they just met yesterday night."
"You know what, I said the same thing." Randy smirked. "But I guess they knew each other in college and they happened to meet up again in the club and they hit it off."
"But you said you didn't know her?" Stephanie asked.
"I don't, I graduated before Paul did." Randy said putting his glass in the sink. "He said an extra year for his degree."
"Oh." Was all Stephanie could get out.
"Make sure you're ready by 4:30." Randy kisses her on the cheek and walks back into the living room.
Time passed rather quickly at Randy and Stephanie's place. Too fast for Stephanie's liking. She didn't want to go to his place and see them all over each other. She sighed to herself as she got dressed. She put on a red halter top with tight black slacks. She had curled her hair and put it half up in a pony tail and left the rest down. Next she applied her make-up. Looking at herself in the mirror she felt satisfied with her look. She continued to make her way downstairs where Randy was waiting for her. He smiled at her as he opened the door for her. They then got into Randy's car and took off to Paul's house.
Torrie sat with Paul on his couch in the living room. She was worrying way too much. She was scared that they wouldn't like her. Yeah they seemed to like her at the club, but they didn't really get to know her. Torrie kept playing with her fingers as Paul tried to calm her down.
"What if they don't like me?" Torrie questioned nervously.
"They will, don't worry." Paul smiled.
"You don't know that." Torrie played with her fingers. "What if they think I'm just some dumb blonde?"
"Torrie, you'll be fine." Paul kissed her. "Just be yourself."
"Ok, be myself got it." Torrie smiled then heard the doorbell ring. "Oh my, they are here." She freaked out.
"Torrie, I thought you said you were ok." Paul question standing up.
"That's when they weren't here." Torrie spoke biting her nails.
"It'll be ok." Paul reassured her as he answered the door. "Hey guys."
"Hey man." Randy smiled at him.
"Hey." Stephanie also smiled giving him a hug.
"Come on, she's in the living room." Paul replied leading the way to the living room.
"Hi." Torrie said shyly.
"You don't have to be shy." Randy spoke giving Torrie a hug.
"Hi." Stephanie said keeping to herself.
"I'm glad you both could make it." Torrie beamed. Maybe they did like her after all.
"Yeah, we are too." Randy answered for Steph and himself. "So what are we having?"
"I was thinking we could barbeque." Paul replied.
"That sounds great." Stephanie spoke up.
"But, I do need to run to the store for a few things." Paul stated. "You want to come Randy?"
"Yeah, why not." Randy smirks. "It'll give the girls time to get to know each other.
"That would be awesome." Torrie smiled happily.
"Yeah." Stephanie said like she really wanted to get to know this woman.
The guys said goodbye to their ladies and left to the store. There was a dead silence between Stephanie and Torrie. They were both sitting on the couch now, but neither saying a word. It was so quiet you could hear a cricket chirp. Soon, Torrie finally spoke up.
"So, I've heard about you." Torrie spoke first.
"I'm sure you have." Stephanie stated looking at the floor.
"Yeah, he talked about you all the time when we were in college." Torrie confessed.
"Really?" Stephanie now seemed interested.
"Yeah, he said you two use to date." Torrie smiled. "But now you two are just friends because you're marrying his best friend."
"Yeah, that's right." Stephanie turned away rolling her eyes. She just had to remind her.
"I only hope I can live up to you." Torrie said honestly.
"What are you talking about?" Stephanie questioned.
"He was so crazy about you." Torrie replied. "He moved and you two were broken up for maybe 4 years and he still talked about you like you two were still together."
"Oh." Stephanie softly smiled.
"I really like him." Torrie smiled.
Stephanie looked at her. How could she let this blonde replace her. Well, she's not. It's not going to happen if it's under her watch. She smirked as she thought of something.
"You know, I could always give you advice if you'd like." Stephanie smirked.
"Really, you would do that?" Torrie beamed.
"Yeah, why not?" Stephanie spoke.
"Well, because of your history with him." Torrie replied.
"Our history is the past." Stephanie stated. "You and Paul are now."
"Thanks Steph." Torrie exclaimed giving her a hug.
"It's no big deal." Stephanie grinned standing up making her way to the small bar Paul had in his living room. "How about a toast?"
"To what?" Torrie asked innocently.
"To you and Paul and me helping you." Stephanie said pouring Torrie a glass and handing it to her.
"To Paul and I and Steph helping." Torrie clinked glasses with Stephanie as they drank up.
About an hour went by. Torrie and Stephanie kept drinking. Torrie drank more then Stephanie though. She didn't know Torrie could handle that much alcohol. Stephanie smiled to herself as the guys walked in. Torrie was just laughing on the couch hysterically. She was laughing at something Stephanie had said.
"Hey guys." Stephanie smirked.
"Hey, what is she laughing at?" Randy asked as Paul went to the kitchen.
"I really don't know." Stephanie lied. "But, why don't you and Paul go ahead and cook and let us know when you're done."
"Ok, will do." Randy replied kissing her then walking back into the kitchen.
"Hey man, I guess the girls like each other." Randy spoke.
"Oh really, that's great." Paul smiled. "Torrie was worried you both wouldn't like her."
"She's a great girl." Randy stated. "I like her."
"Thanks." Paul opened the sliding glass door and walked outside. "I really like her."
"I couldn't really tell you did." Randy replied.
"What do you mean?" Paul asked.
"You don't really talk about her." Randy stated.
"Oh, yeah huh." Paul shook it off.
Another hour went by and dinner was done. They guys set the table outside and got everything ready. As Paul put all the food on the table Randy went in to get the girls. Randy gave Stephanie a questionable look as he noticed Torrie was still laughing and talking gibberish. The girls followed Randy outside and Torrie had stopped laughing finally. They all sat down and dug in. Torrie was extremely quiet.
"So, when is the wedding?" Paul asked as he stared at Stephanie.
"We haven't set a date yet." Stephanie smirked looking at Torrie.
"Oh, really." Paul nodded taking a bite of his food.
"We should figure that out soon." Randy said patting Stephanie's leg.
"Guess so." Stephanie stated putting a fork full of food into her mouth.
Torrie then looked up suddenly and just started laughing again.
"Torrie, what's so funny?" Paul asked.
"Oh nothing Paulie." Torrie slurred. "Just I'm a having time good."
"Tor, are you drunk?" Paul whispered.
"Maybe." Torrie smirked.
"Why did you get drunk?" Paul questioned.
"Don't you like me when I'm drunk?" Torrie stated wrapping her arms around his neck.
Randy and Stephanie sat there watching. No one noticed the big smirk on Stephanie's face as she watched on in amusement.
"No, I don't like it when you're drunk." Paul replied.
"Oh, come on." Torrie kissed him. "You know you do!"
"Torrie, maybe you should go inside and chill." Paul said standing up.
"Um, fine." Torrie then ran into the house.
"I think I should go check on her." Paul was about to go inside when Torrie came running back outside.
Torrie ran around Paul's back yard in her bra and panties. Stephanie couldn't believe it, she just had to laugh. Paul chased after Torrie to stop herself from embarrassment. Torrie continued to run in circles until she got sick and threw up on the grass. Torrie then stood up and walk over to the table and picked up a glass that was filled with cranberry juice.
"Look what you've done." Torrie stumbled. "You said he liked it when his girlfriend were drunk."
Paul shot Stephanie a painful look. How could she have done that. He was angry with her at the moment. Paul then grabbed Torrie to take her back inside. The next thing he knew Torrie had thrown the drink in Stephanie's face.
"You're a lying no good bitch." Torrie screamed as Paul pulled her inside.
