Sand and Water... and a million years gone by.

Reaching the staircase, Tony began re-buttoning his shirt, as Andrea attempted to put her sweater back on.

"Funny, when I left you an hour ago, you were both fully clothed..."

Tony and Andrea looked up as they descended the stairs, and were greeted again by John Black.

"Yes, well, the air conditioner is broken upstairs..." Tony tried to play it off.

"It's 50 degrees outside...." John raised his eyebrows.

"I'm sorry, was there something you wanted?"

"Just dropping the kids off. Shawn's truck broke down, so I volunteered to give them a ride."

"Wonderful..." Tony muttered.

Shawn and Belle made their way through the door. Belle gave John a kiss on the cheek. "Thanks, Dad."

Shawn turned to Tony. "Are Cassie and Rex here yet?"

"Uh, no, not yet. But they should be here any minute. Why don't you wait for them in here?" Tony opened the door to the den for them.

"Okay, thanks." Shawn and Belle made their way into the den, shutting the door behind them.

"Well, guess I'll be going now..." John turned to leave. "Oh," he turned his head back to Tony and Andrea "And next time, I'll try not to interrupt." He winked and shut the door behind him.

Andrea put a hand over her mouth, trying to contain her laughter.

"Oh, you think that's funny, do you?" Tony smiled and slid his arms around her waist.

"Yes..." she grinned and laughed from behind her hand.

It was Tony's turn to grin. "You know, there are other ways to keep you from laughing..."

"Oh, really..." Andrea let her hand drop down to her side, and placed her other arm around his neck.

Tony was still grinning as he leaned in to kiss her. "Really." His lips enveloped hers in a brief but passionate kiss.

As the kiss ended, Andrea smiled. "My, aren't you feeling physical today..." She finished buttoning his shirt for him.

"Well, I'm not the only one..." Tony looked down as he buttoned her pants.

Andrea blushed bright red. "Why didn't you tell me they were still unbuttoned?!," she hissed. "Knowing my luck, they probably saw my underwear!..."

Tony smiled and shrugged. "No complaints from me." He winked and gave her a quick kiss before he opened the door to the den and walked in.

She grinned and shook her head. It's good to be back... she thought as she followed him through the doors.
