The Sister (2) – Chapter 21
About a month later, I was healed up and the stitches had been removed...at the time Paul and I had been just getting back into the swing of things, getting used to just sitting down and having a conversation. Things were definitely way out of hand in our lives, we just needed some us time.
We loved each other a lot but just needed to get our lives back on track. We weren't spending enough time together, and we knew if we didn't get things together we'd end up divorced or separated...and neither one of us could bare that to happen. Paul took a couple of weeks off and we just spent some family time together...
I woke up one morning, and Paul was gone, I took a shower and got dressed, walked down to Xander's room cause he was usually awake by now, wanting to kill me with cartoons; but he was also gone...I thought something was pretty strange, but I didn't think anything of it...I walked down stairs and the living room was clean! Color me shocked!!
Then I thought I heard the TV on in the den, so I walked a little more down the little hallway next to the kitchen, and stood at the top of the stairs and found Paul and Xander...They were sitting on the floor in front of the TV, and Paul was giving Xander an airplane...of course if you don't know what an airplane is...it's when Paul is laying on his back with Xander laying on his stomach on Paul's feet struck up in the air. I have to tell you, it was the funniest thing I've seen in a long time.
Paul said, "Morning honey, you want an airplane too?" I said, "No, that's quite alright." Xander got down and came over and said, "C'mon mommy, daddy gives the best airplanes..." I said, "Oh I bet...but I've been on daddy's air plane before, he makes me nausea."
Paul said, "Babe, that wasn't an airplane that was a 747 jet."
My head popped up and my eyes got big. I pushed him with my foot, and he just grinned at me...
I said, "Please, I know a crop duster when I see one."
About that time someone rang the door bell, and Paul said, "Ouch!, that hurt."
I said, "Yea, well, I see I still haven't lost my touch, I still have the best insults." I went back through the house and opened the door; it was Stephanie and Marissa with the crews. I said, "C'mon in guys." Steph said, "Are you ready yet?" I said, "Almost, I have to go save Xander from Paul's airplanes."
I walked into the den and said, "C'mon Xander, Aunt Stephanie and Aunt Marissa are here, and it's time to go." Xander took off to get his jacket. Paul stood up and said, "Hi you guys." I said, "So where are you going today?" He said, "I'll be at the gym all day, and I'll have my cell-phone on." I said, "Okay, I have my phone..."
He said, "Where are you guys going today" I said, "Zoo. Something fun for the kids and then home, eat dinner with everyone, and then Xander is spending the night at Andy's." Paul said, "Hmmm, a night alone....This could be very interesting." I said, "Indeed...but we won't think about that now, but the way...stop playing with my butt." Paul looked down and said, "Oh, my bad...sorry, I couldn't help myself." Marissa said, "Shane and Andrew are waiting for you at the gym." He said, "Okay."
We started to walk out of the house when Paul slapped me on the butt, I jumped a little and looked back at him, he just smiled, and I smiled, shook my head no and left.
When we got back, we had tons of Chinese food, and the guys had already been back long enough to shower and get dressed. We were all sitting at the table talking, Paul had Xander on his lap, and Xander was showing him a book about the zoo...
Xander said, "Look daddy, we got to see the gorillas and mommy said they looked like you, because you're so big and so are they."
Paul said, "Oh really." And looked up at me...
I said, "I never said that." I had a smile on my face the whole time, so Paul saw right through that lie, Stephanie said, "Oops busted." Marissa said, "Yea just a little, Alex this is why you never say anything in front of children, they will relay the message."
I giggled a little, Paul said, "So did mommy take you by to see the elephants too?"
I said, "Paul Michael Levesque!" I couldn't help but laugh at him for saying that...I married a pervert, even after the years we'd been married, and he was still a walking-talking hormone.
