After lunch Paul went back to work with the biggest smile on his face. He was so happy that for he first time one of his bad ideas were actually going to plan! So you can only imagine that he wanted to finished work asap so that he could leave and go back to spending time with Stephanie. The second that Paul thought that he was done with work, he left without looking back and went home. He arrived at his apartment building and smiled at his doorman and gave him a quick greeting.

"Any mail Hector?"

"Yes but I gave it to your girlfriend and her friend. They have taken it up to your penthouse for you" Hector said. Paul wasn't going to correct him and say that Stephanie was his wife because he wasn't sure if they have gotten to the point where they were acknowledging the fact the they were married yet.

"Thank you" Paul said as he made his way to the elevator to go up and see Stephanie and Kelsey. When he arrived at his penthouse all the lights were turned off and Paul was a little sad thinking that the girls went out before he got home. He walked up the stairs to his bedroom and smiled seeing the girls cuddled up in the dark watching a movie. He quietly walked in and got changed into a t-shirt and tracksuit bottoms before climbing into bed next to Stephanie and wrapped his arm around her.

"How was work?" Stephanie asked leaning into Paul and rested her head on his shoulder

"Good, it got a lot better when I saw you" Paul said pulling her closer to him and kissed the side of his head

"Yeah it was really good seeing you too" Stephanie said turning a little so that she could face him

"Are you staying in here with me?" Paul asked hopefully

"Yes, things seem to be going well so far and I don't want to stop that by being apart" Stephanie said tilting her head up and lightly kissed Paul before Kelsey interrupted

"Oi, lovebirds! Can we finish the movie before you two start sucking face or you two can get a room?" Kelsey asked taking her attention off the movie and faced the couple.

"This is our room you know that Kelsey" Paul said laughing softly. Stephanie grinned when he said that it was their room

"Okay fine, at least let's finishing watching the movie and I'll leave you two" Kelsey compromised once she realised that Paul was right

"Deal" Paul said flicking Kelsey in the head and smiled innocently when she scowled at him. Stephanie shook her head and the two, they had become quick friends and was really happy that they were able to get along because Kelsey couldn't stand her ex-boyfriend and tank it's just nice knowing that she doesn't have to force Kelsey to try and like Paul for her sake.

About an hour later the movie finished Kelsey left the room happily because she knew that Stephanie needed time alone with Paul and vice versa. Once Kelsey left Paul started to get ready for bed and Stephanie was cleaning up the mess they made so that they could get ready for bed.

"Do you mind if I sleep in boxers? I've gotten used to it but I can put pyjama bottoms and a top on if you want" Paul said as he was taking off his shirt. Stephanie never heard one word after she looked up and saw him shirtless. She got the gist of what he was saying though, boxers or clothes? It was an obvious choice, she wasn't stupid.

"N-no, its fine with me, it's not like I haven't seen you naked before" Stephanie said laughed awkwardly once she realised what she just said, "I didn't mean it like that. I just meant that we met because of drunk sex so I've seen you naked an-"

Stephanie was cut off when Paul pressed his lips against hers. She immediately relaxed into the kiss and responded, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"You're cute when you're rambling" Paul said pulling away from her and walked into the bathroom as Stephanie started talking

"Thanks. You're hot shirtless" Stephanie quickly regretting it and mentally slapping herself, "didn't mean that . . . but I did because look at you. I don't know what came over me, I think just being with you is bring this out"

Once Stephanie stopped she looked up at Paul as he walked back into the he bedroom smiling at her, "I'm rambling again"

"But you're so cute when you do" Paul said getting in bed, Stephanie followed his actions and Paul immediately pulled her against him.

It didn't take long for Stephanie to get comfortable against Paul and just realised how natural this felt to her. She rested her head on his chest and listened to his heartbeat. After a few minutes of silence Stephanie was dying to ask him a question.

"Do you think we are doing the right thing?" Stephanie asked sitting up and looked at Paul, "you know staying married and the whole agreement?"

"At first I was scared because I knew that there was only two end results and I wasn't sure which one I wanted but now after lunch with you and how much I realise that I want you with me. I can honestly say that this was the best idea I've ever had"

"Really? I'm happy that I stayed married to you too. Even if I did think you were an idiot and a douchebag when we first met" Stephanie laughed when Paul poked her in the side, "I don't think you are now. I said were that's the key word in the sentence"

"I don't know how I feel about dating a college girl? You seem too smart" Paul joked

"Too smart? Really? You're a CEO at 26 unless you were lying to me and you are really like 40. So if anyone is too smart it would be you"

"Okay I get your point. Can I still have fun knowing I'm dating a college girl?"

"All the fun in the world. I thought that's the whole point in dating a college girl" Stephanie laughed leaning up and kissed Paul softly.

For the rest of the night they just talked and every few moments would make out but that's as far as either of them went because they didn't rush anything. It was about 2 in the morning before they decided that they were going to go sleep to get ready for the day ahead of them.


The next morning Stephanie slowly started to wake up to someone whispering and poking her, she felt weight on her stomach so she opened her eyes and saw Paul's arm draped across her and his face buried in her neck, she turned a little and got a shock seeing Kelsey kneeling next to the bed.

"Steph? Steph you awake?" Kelsey asked seeing Stephanie looking at her

"No, what do you want?" Stephanie asked turning slowly on her side so she didn't wake Paul up

"I'm hungry"

"You're 21, go and make your own food"

"But I'm in the mood for your pancakes"

"Well get out the mood, I'm sleeping" Stephanie said softly trying her best not to wake up Paul

"Please, pretty please with a cherry on top" Kelsey said begging

"Just go make her the pancakes" Paul mumbled into Stephanie's neck

"Fine" Stephanie groaned as Paul took his arm from around her waist to let her get up

"Yes, thank you and thank you big shot" Kelsey said as she followed Stephanie out of the room and into the kitchen

"I can't believe you woke me up for pancakes" Stephanie moaned as she started to make the pancakes for Kelsey

"Thank you, I owe you big time"

"Yes you do, I'm tired. Next time you need pancakes let me sleep and when I wake up I'll make you them"

"Okay. I can do that" Kelsey said sitting down on the bar stool, "So you and Paul seemed close this morning. Is there a reason for you being tired?" Kelsey asked as she arched her eyebrow

"Not what you're thinking of, we just talked all night"

"Just talked?" Kelsey said not believing a word of what she heard

"We made out a little but that's it" Stephanie said focusing on the pancakes to hide her blush

"Aww Stephy's in love" Kelsey said seeing the blush spread across Stephanie's face

"I'm not in love, I'm in like. He's a great guy but I'm not in love with him yet"

"So there's a possibility of it happening?"

"I'm not saying there isn't. What's with the twenty questions anyways?" Stephanie asked put pancakes onto a plate

"I'm curious, this was you're first night together as a married couple . . . Well actually it was your second" Kelsey winked picking up a pancake, "I want to know how it went"

"I told you. It was good, we talked, kissed and talked more before we went to sleep"

"I know I thought you was lying to me" Kelsey smirked before taking a big bit out of her pancakes, "these are great Steph, thanks"

"Can you survive out here while I go back to sleep?"

"Flatscreen, games room, fully stocked kitchen? Yeah I think I'll be fine"

"Great, and tidy up the mess I made" Stephanie stuck her tongue out and went back upstairs to bed and climbed in resting her head on Paul's chest

"Thought you was going to stay with her to make sure she doesn't burn the building to the ground" Stephanie laughed and looked up at him

"She's fine, she's just going to watch TV. I'm going back to sleep though" Stephanie said getting comfortable and was able to get to sleep

Two and a half hours later Stephanie woke up to an empty room, she picked up her phone and saw a few messages from her brother. She was about to reply to him when the bathroom door opened and Paul walked out in only a towel.

"Hey sleepyhead" Paul said seeing Stephanie sitting up in bed on her phone

"Hey, how long have you been awake?" Stephanie asked trying not to stare, even if he was her husband or boyfriend (still not sure how she was going to introduce him to people or think about him).

"About an hour, I was watching TV with Kelsey for a bit then jumped in the shower" Paul said going into the walk-in closet to get changed, "I would've woken you up but you seemed tired"

"Thank you" Stephanie said getting out of bed, "so what's the plan for today?"

"I was thinking we go shopping and you and Kelsey can enjoy dragging me around and buying things. Then I thought we might head to Manhattan for dinner?"

"That sounds fun, where are we going?"

"Umm . . . Well, it's my sister, Lynn's, house" Paul walked out in time to see the shock and panic on Stephanie's face

"Your sister? Wh-wh-wha-why?" Stephanie stuttered

"No need to panic, she found out that I got married in Vegas and she wants to meet you. When she found out it wasn't bad or anything, she was actually happy"

"She was happy for you, she can be angry at me" Stephanie said sitting down on the bed

"She won't be angry at you, trust me. She's going to love you" Paul said moving to kneel in between Stephanie's legs, "just relax, when we go shopping you buy whatever you want"

"Okay I'll relax but I can't make any promises when we get to your sister's house" Stephanie said

"Good thing we are bringing Kelsey. I told Lynn that we would be there at about 7, is that enough time to get you relaxed?"

Stephanie looked at the clock on Paul's nightstand and saw it was coming up to 11:30, "okay, let me get changed and then we can leave"

"Great, I'll let Kelsey know" Paul said standing up and walked out of the room to the den where Kelsey was sitting watching TV.

"How'd she take the news?" Kelsey asked when she heard Paul walking back into the den. She was sitting with Paul when his sister phone and heard the debate going on with the siblings

"She's nervous, but I'm sure that she'll be fine. I'm taking you guys shopping though to help her relax, Steph said that she was getting ready so why don't you do the same and then we can leave"

"Happily" Kelsey said jumping off the couch to go and get changed.

About an hour later the three made their way out of the building and started to go shopping. Much to the dismay and arguing with it, Paul had been given the job of carrying bags and holding the girls bags while they were trying on their clothes.

"So what do we have to wear for dinner at your sister's?" Stephanie asked as they walked into their next shop.

"It's Saturday so it will be smart casual. She tries to get her kids to in a routine and have family dinners like my mom" Paul said letting go of Stephanie's hand so that her and Kelsey could go looking around, "if it helps, I'm wearing a dress shirt and jeans"

"It does, a little" Stephanie said looking around to find he perfect outfit. In the other shops it was to get her mind away from actually having to meet Paul's sister but she knew she needed to bring it up at some point.

Two hours! That's how long he had been sitting in the changing rooms waiting for Kelsey and Stephanie to make up their mind on what they were going to wear to his sister's dinner.

"Are you two going to make your mind up yet?"

"You can't rush these things Paul!" Stephanie said walking out in a mid thigh red dress, it was free flowing and Paul was speechless, "what do you think?"

"So many things" Paul muttered under his breath, "you look great! That is perfect for the dinner"

"Thanks" Stephanie said grinning, she was going to ignore what Paul said before about the many thoughts but was happy that she found a dress he liked, "bad news though, it's $350 and I can't ask you to pay for that"

"It's a good thing you wasn't asking then" Paul stood up and her a peck on the lips, "Kelsey, what about you? You found the perfect dress yet?"

"I think so, if you thought Steph looked great get ready for a divorce because I look fucking stunning" Kelsey said making her way out in a white mid thigh dress with a low cut show a bit of cleavage. Paul laughed at her introduction but don't disagree that she looked great, not as good as Stephanie but still great.

"You look amazing" Stephanie said walking up to Kelsey and grabbed her hand and made her do a twirl so Stephanie could see the whole outfit

"Thanks, you don't look too bad yourself" Kelsey joked, then looked at Paul who had a smile plastered on his face, "even your husband thinks I look great"

"You're a joker, come get changed and then we can pay for those and you can do more shopping, but I won't be able to join you in the next shop"

"What, why?" Stephanie asked a little disappointed, she was really enjoying spending time with Paul.

"I have a work call to take and I can't miss it. I'll give you my card though" Paul lied, he wanted to surprise Stephanie with his present and she couldn't have any suspicions about the present. Plus he had the perfect time to give it to her, so he didn't want her thinking was up.

"I thought you said you wasn't going to work this weekend while I was here?" Stephanie asked a little upset that he was going to be working instead of being with her.

"I know, and I'm sorry. It came so quickly, I tried to move it but I couldn't. I'll make it up to you, baby. I promise" Paul said kissing her cheek and let her go back to get changed.

Paul walked the girls to the next shop and gave them one of his credit cards so that they didn't pay for anything, this day was on him. He quickly went off to do his own shopping to get Stephanie the perfect present. He knew there was no reason for it but he really wanted to do it and that was enough reason for him.


After a long day shopping they finally went home and got changed before making their way to Manhattan. Paul decided to drive so that he could keep himself distracted. He couldn't lie, he was a little nervous about this dinner but he couldn't show Stephanie that. It seemed that she was nervous enough for both of them at the moment.

"You nervous?" Kelsey asked from the backseat, she could feel the nerves coming off of Stephanie

"That obvious?"

"Only a little, you have no reason to be nervous. It's not like your meeting the parents"

"Kels is right, my sister is a lot worse" Paul joked trying to lightening the mood but realise it only made her more nervous, "I'm joking, just relax. It will be perfectly fine. I'll make sure she goes easy on you as well"

"Thank you" Stephanie said breathing out as she started to relax. About ten minutes later they arrived at Lynn's house and Paul parked the car outside it and helped both women out the car before letting himself into the house like he always did.

"Oh my-" Kelsey said when she walked in looking at the huge fully decorated house. It's a painted white and had marble spiral stairs, a few family photos and paintings on the walls. They hadn't even stepped fully into the house yet they were still standing at the front door and they were shocked at how great the house was.

"Fucking hell" Stephanie said in as much shock as Kelsey, "Husband, I don't think your penthouse is that impressive anymore. This house is unbelievable"

"Yeah I know, still can't believe I didn't buy it first" Paul said, he remembers the first time he saw the house and was trying to buy it off Lynn because he loved it so much, "you ready to meet my sister?"

"Not really but I don't have much of a choice" Stephanie said taking hold of both Kelsey and Paul's hand as they walked further into the house.
