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.
Chapter 7: Have I told you lately...
"Wait... wait..." Tony sat down on the bottom of the stairs. "Are you telling me that we're still...."
Andrea nodded and smiled a sad smile as she sat down beside him. "I'm so sorry I didn't tell you sooner...."
"We're still married..." He grinned in disbelief.
"Are you happy?" Andrea asked nervously.
Tony grinned, taking her face in his hands and looking deep into her eyes. "Of course I am! I love you, Andrea. You know that." He kissed her sweetly. "I'm just confused as to how this is possible."
"Maybe one day I'll tell you..." she grinned.
"Maybe..." Tony trailed off, closing his eyes as he brought her lips to his in a passionate kiss.
The door burst open. "TONY! Tony, you have to help me! T..."
Tony and Andrea quickly ended the kiss and stood up. The visitor looked around. "Oh... I'm sorry, did I interrupt something?"
Tony looked rather annoyed. "No, no, Sami. Nothing important. Just a perfect kiss between a man and his..." Andrea put two fingers over his lips, interrupting him. "Sami? Sami Brady?"
Sami's eyes darted around the room nervously. "Um, yeah. Do I know you?"
"Well, you used to..." Andrea laughed. "It's been a long time. We used to play together when we were children." She removed her fingers from Tony's lips and slid her arm around his shoulder.
Sami studied Andrea's face. "Oh my gosh...Andy?! Little Andy Tyler?"
"Yes, that'd be me..." Andrea winced at the old nickname.
Sami grinned. " I remember... you used to go play hockey with the boys..."
"Yes, and I've paid greatly for that. Broken bones, multiple soft tissue and tendon tears, a touch of asthma...."
"I used to think you were so weird sometimes," she continued.
"Yes, well, some still think so." Andrea smiled. "Sami, would you mind if we continued this conversation at another time? Tony and I have some things we need to attend to." She pulled a business card from her back pocket. "My cell phone number is on here. Give me a call, and we'll do lunch sometime."
"All right, sounds good." Sami slipped the card into her coat pocket, handed Andrea one of her own business cards, and walked towards the door. Pausing for a second, she turned back to look at Tony and Andrea. "Tony, I'll drop by first thing tomorrow. I really need to talk to you... and please don't kiss me this time!" With that, she exited the house, slamming the door behind her.
Andrea turned to face Tony. "You kissed her?," she asked with an amused look on her face.
Tony cleared his throat. "Maybe... I'm so sorry Andrea. I didn't know..."
She interrupted him with a gentle kiss. "You know you're going to have to make it up to me..." she teased.
He smiled, so happy she wasn't angry. "What did you have in mind?"
"Oh, I'm sure I can think of something..." she took his hands and placed them on her waist.
Tony grinned. "So, I get to be a bit of a bad boy?," he asked in a low voice.
"Oh, absolutely. I'm counting on it..." she grinned back. "But first, I must tell you about the wonderful idea I just had."
"Uh huh..." he started to gently kiss her neck.
"I figured out how to go about destroying the Brady's."
Tony looked up and smiled. "Oh really...do tell."
Andrea nodded, turning Sami's card over and over in her hand. "We're going to do it... from the inside."
Tony grinned and chuckled. "Have I told you lately that I love you?"
"I love you too..." Andrea smiled as Tony kissed her passionately...
