R&R is a good thing!
Steph looked at the house and gave a small sigh, this was going to suck. But it had to happen, it wasn't right to stay with Joe anymore, and it would be better for the both of them to go their separate ways. She just hoped that they could still be friends; she would need to eat pizza and meatball subs with maybe watch a game on TV.
She opened her car door and got out, reaching back in to grab the food. Steph took a good look at the house, took a deep breath and started to make her way to the front door. This was it, there was no turning back, Steph stood there for a minute and then knocked.
When Joe opened the door she could see that he was still angry. This was not going to be easy, but at least the cop face wasn't on. They stood there looking at each other for a few moments, not saying anything and not moving; one of them was bound to crack.
"So," Steph started "I brought a peace offering." She hoped that this could be done inside without everyone within a six block radius staring out their window to see and hear what was going on. Steph was a bit relieved when Joe moved aside to let her in, it was a good start.
She walked into the house and set the food down on the living room table when Steph looked back up Joe was standing there arms crossed over his chest looking like an imposing Greek statue. This was definitely not good.
Joe sees that this is going to be it; he knows that it's all or nothing; whatever happens here will determine his future, he just hopes that it's the future he wants. She wants Manoso out of their lives and for Steph to become his wife and stay at home and take care of the house like she should. One of them should start to speak though.
Steph takes a deep breath and looks up at Joe. She needs to say this, it will be better for everyone and the sooner the better.
"Ok so here is the thing. It seems that all we ever do is fight. We fight about everything; Ranger, My job, my friends, me working for Ranger, us getting married, me helping Ranger, the way I live my life, me having so many stalkers, Ranger helping me, just everything." Steph pauses then to gather her thoughts, when Joe starts up.
"We would not fight so much if you just listen to what everyone is telling you. You get lucky at your job, that's it; its just luck, your not capable to handle it and Manoso is only helping you out for kicks. You don't really mean anything to him; he is just twisted enough to use for a good laugh, a good lay, or both. That's all that people do where your concerned, you're a laugh to them, a joke. You need to grow up and---------" His words were cut off as Steph picked up two meatball subs, one in each hand, and decided to use them to make her own sandwich; meatball sub, Joe's head, meatball sub, a facewich.
She just stood there watching as the sauce ran down Joe's face, landing on to his shirt and falling to the floor. There were pieces of meatballs stuck in his hair and on his shoulders. Steph let the sandwiches drop; watched as they hit other parts of his body on the way down. Slowly one of her hands came down to rest on her hip and the other she used to stab her finger in Joe's face.
"That's enough. We fight because you won't or can't let me be me. You want me to be someone else, my mom or your mom or damn it even Val! Newsflash! I'm not them, I am never going to be them and I never wanted to be." With that said she turned and walked out of the house leaving Joe standing there covered in food substance and not knowing what went wrong.
She got into her car and drove away. She needed to think, clear her head and just take a moment to breath. This was not what she wanted; yet, somehow in the back of her mind she knew that breaking things off with Joe was never going to be easy. That even though they were not what each other needed they would still fight, cause its what they did and they could both be so stubborn. Would they be friends? If they both calmed down would they be able to be civil toward each other? Would they end up like her and Dickie?
this did happen to Marco - R.I.P cuz- but it was with a peanut butter and banana sandwich
