The Sister - Chapter 15
I was sitting on the couch in Steph's office with her talking. She said, "Did you guy have a great time?" I said, "Of course.we never left the hotel room, but we had a wonderful time." Steph laughed and said, "Yea, I'd have a wonderful time too, if I spent two weeks in a hotel room with Andrew."
I said, "Yea, the last couple of days Paul was getting antsy, because he was wanting to get back to the wrestling tour.he was going through work withdrawals." Steph said, "That boy is a workaholic." I said, "Yea, tell me about it, I was pretty shocked when he told me he was taking two weeks off for our honeymoon. Obviously more dedicated to us then I thought." Steph said, "Yea, I just wish me and Andrew had the dedication to our relationship like you and Paul."
Sensing something, I said, "What's wrong?" She said, "I think me and Andrew are just about to the end of our relationship. I don't think we'll survive the rest of the month let alone the year. I just love him so much and we've been together for 5 years for Christ sakes. You and Paul were together for 3 years and got married; Andrew and I are no where near ready to get married."
I took Stephanie's hand as tears formed in her eyes, and said, "Listen, don't write Andrew off, he might surprise you yet.do you still love him as much as you did the day you met him?"
She said, "Of course."
I said, "And does the fire still burn even when you fight?"
She said, "Yea."
I said, "Do you still scream as loud as possible like the night the Cowboys beat the Raiders, when you guys are tearing it up in bed?"
She laughed and said, "Yea, but what does that have to do with anything?"
I said, "Believe me, those 3 questions are the only ones you'll ever need to ask yourself, if you think your love is fading, if all 3 answers come out to be yes, then you guys are doing good.but if one comes out no, then do some freaky shit to spice up your relationship.you know, meet Andrew at the door with nothing but a tie and a smile on.I'm pretty sure it would spice it up enough to make the answers come back to yes."
Steph said, "I thought you were the little sister, I'm supposed to be giving you advice on your relationship, not the other way around." I said, "Listen, Our marriage will never be perfect, there will be times in it when we'll fight and argue and disagree on a lot of things, that's when I'll be coming to you.you've perfected your relationship, me and Paul are still perfecting, we have a while."
We sat there in silence for a couple of minutes, when Stephanie broke the silence barrier and said, "Alex.I'm pregnant."
