Disclaimer: I do not own the Days of our Lives characters. Do not sue me... please. I am a broke college student. I do own Andrea... I guess you could say I am borrowing the last name... oh well.

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

"So, you're a biologist?" Shawn smiled at Andrea. The four had settled into the den and were awaiting the arrival of Cassie and Rex.

"Well, I majored in Biology in college, but I was pre-med... I guess I am...," Andrea looked thoughtful.

Shawn turned to Belle. "Well, now we know who to turn to for help in Bio 1107."

Andrea grinned. "I don't know how much help I can be, but if you need anything," she looked at Shawn, then Belle, and finally made eye contact with Tony. "...I'm always here for you."

"In that case, can you help us with Sociology?"

The four turned to look at Cassie and Rex, who had entered the room.

"You must be Cassie and Rex," Andrea smiled at them as they sat down, Cassie beside Shawn, and Rex beside Tony. "I'm Andrea. It's a pleasure to meet you." Andrea's slight European accent was quite evident here.

Rex reached across and shook Andrea's hand. "The pleasure is all mine," he smiled at her.

Andrea grinned and glanced at Tony, who didn't seem to notice the comment. He was looking at Cassie, worriedly.

"So, Cassie, what do you need help with in Sociology?," he asked her.

"We're conducting an experiment..." Rex started.

"... on what drives two people to have sex." Cassie shot a look at Belle.

"I see... um..." Tony chuckled nervously.

"Sorry, can't help you there..." Andrea blushed.

"I'm sorry, children, I don't think either Andrea or myself can be of much help on that topic..." Tony briefly caught Andrea's eye, causing her to blush again.

"So, what are you studying today?" Andrea tried to change the subject.

Belle was quick to respond. "Statistics," she smiled and mouthed 'Thank you' to Andrea.

Andrea nodded and laughed. "Statistics is not my subject. I'll leave you guys alone." She turned to Tony. "Can I speak with you for a minute?"

"Of course." Tony excused himself, and he and Andrea made their way out into the foyer. Tony shut the door behind them and turned to her. "What's wrong?"

Without speaking, she threw her arms around his neck and kissed him passionately.

He instantaneously wrapped his arms around her waist. As the kiss ended, he chuckled lightly. "Now, what on earth was that for?"

Andrea just smiled.

"You know, if you weren't waiting for marriage, I believe I'd be forced to take you upstairs..." Tony grinned wickedly.

I have to tell him, she thought. It's now or never... but I won't come right out and say it... "Well, I did wait for marriage, so..." She grinned back, and held up her left hand, showing Tony a wedding ring that looked vaguely familiar.

He looked somewhat confused. "So, you're cheating on your husband with me?"

"Well, if you put it that way, yes. I'm cheating on you with you."
