Hope all is well with you guys. This is my take on the conversation that Kirsten and Sandy should have had after the kiss between Kirsten and Jimmy in 1x12 "The Secret". This story is a fluff fic but even the greatest couples have their issues. It's how they resolve their problems that truly made them inspiration. Kirsten and Sandy were pretty good about that (minus Season 2 and the hospital stuff but I would have written those different)
Italics are words of Josh, I didn't copy all of them word for word but you get the idea.
Kirsten, fresh from her shower stood in the doorframe of her closet, looking over at Sandy. He was hiding behind his book, ignoring her presence. She knew him how hurt and angry he was that Jimmy told him about the kiss. She saw the dig he threw across the table during dinner.
"The secrets always come out"
"Some marriages can handle them and some can't"
"Which one are we going to be," she asked him with her eyes, and he avoided the eye contact not ready to talk yet.
Kirsten walked over to her side of the bed, rubbing her vanilla scented hand lotion in the palms of her hands. She knew that Sandy loves holding her hands at night and feeling how soft she was. He always told her he loved how soft her skin was.
Sandy shifted awkwardly in the bed, when she moved into her side. He was so upset he couldn't think straight, he wanted to keep ignoring her but also was worried and upset inside. Jimmy was always being thrown back into their face. He hated dealing with his wife's ex boyfriend all the time. He finally thought that he and Jimmy could be friends; Sandy had been so generous helping him out of his dilemma. But Jimmy had to ruin that by kissing his wife. He could smell the familiar scents moving closer to him. He felt her soft hand rub against his arm. But he refused to look up, not wanting her to see the hurt in his eyes.
"I'm sorry. It meant nothing Sandy"
"Bullshit" he said under his breath. But Kirsten could hear it.
"Excuse me?" she said appalled by his statement
"You heard me bullshit!" his voice got louder; he throws his book towards the ground as the rage and angry fill his body giving him the courage to speak up.
"Why is he always involved with us so much? Huh? Why have we been arguing about him since college? Why did you kiss him," the last part came out in a whisper, Kirsten could hear the crack of his voice, his emotions coming over him.
"Is that what this is about?" she said gently. "What are you insecure about?"
Sandy stood up out of the bed and pasted around the room. He wanted to gather his thoughts and emotions; he didn't want to yell at her again.
"You kissed another man, and not just any man. You kissed Jimmy Cooper"
"It wasn't like that Sandy. He kissed me. I was over there painting his apartment, I was stepping off a ladder and he kissed me. I pushed him away immediately and I left."
He looked at her skeptically and Kirsten got out of the bed and walked over to him.
"I don't have feelings for him, I haven't had feeling for him since high school. I love you so much Sandy, and I wouldn't do anything to hurt you. I would never jeopardize our relationship. It didn't mean anything, your kisses are the only ones that matter to me."
"Then why didn't you tell me?" he said quietly, he hated being jealous, insecure and weak. He was suppose to be strong and protective and now he just so mad at Jimmy for trying to make a move on his wife. After all these years, why couldn't he understand that she wasn't coming back to him.
"It stupid now I know, I don't like keeping things from you but it didn't mean anything, I didn't think I should bring it up. I knew you would be upset and I didn't want you to be upset over nothing. I didn't think he was going to tell you."
"It hurt evens more because he did, like you were trying to hide something."
"I'm not okay" she took his face in her hands and kissed his forehead, before rest his head in the crock of her neck. . He slowly let his walls back down and wrapped his arm around his waist, taking comfort in her warmth and intoxicating smell. She left a kiss against the side of his head.
"I'm sorry you had to find out this way, but it really didn't mean a thing. I love you so much Sandy. I hope you know that" he lifted his head up and look into the blue eyes he loved so much.
"I do baby. I love you too. Just trust me, you gotta trust me to tell me things even if you think I may not want to here them."
"I will I swear" she pressed her lips against his, and gave him a passionate reassuring kiss.
"I love you"
"I love you too."
She took his hand and walked him over to his side of the bed and tucked him in, she skipped over to her side and pulled him over to rest against her chest. Sandy felt better by talking with her. He let the comfort of her warm body; soft skin and eternal love for her let him drifted into a deep slumber. Kirsten ran her fingers through his hair to soothe him and placed gently kisses on the top of his head. Once she was sure he was asleep she too let herself drift off.
I hope you liked it. Please review, more chapters soon :)
