"Was it as good for you as it was for me?"

Unable to keep a straight face Angela burst out laughing at Tony's comment.

"Well at least I can still make you laugh." Tony sighed as he moved to the table and sat down the jar still gripped in his hands.

Perplexed Angela sat down beside him and took the jar from him and placed it on the table. She intertwined their fingers together and asked what he meant.

"Well it's just that I want so much to give you everything you desire that..."

"That you spend $2,000 on a painting?"

"Yeah. I mean I keep thinking of the guys you used to date and I never feel like I measure up to them."

"You have that backwards honey."

"What do you mean?"

"They don't measure up to you."

He looked down at their hands still clasped together then up into her eyes. Those eyes that were always filled with warmth and love whenever he looked at her.

"Angela..."

"I'm serious Tony."

"How did you know what I was.." but he didn't finish his sentence. Of course she knew what he was thinking and what he was going to say. That was just the way they were.

"I mean Tony the years spent with you have meant more to me than anything else in my life, except for having Jonathon of course."

A smile came then to his face softly at first then lightning up his whole face like the sun coming out on a cloudy day.

"Yeah?"

"Yeah. I mean you make sure that I always have butter brickle ice cream, you buy me pink roses whenever I need cheering up, you console me when I lose an account, and you celebrate with me when I win one. There are so many things that you do for me that mean so much more than what Michael and Geoffrey and Andy ever did."

All that she has said causes a tear to run down his cheek. She gets off her chair and goes to sit on his lap. She kisses him softly on the lips and lies her head on his shoulder.

"So you see Tony you don't have to try so hard. You know I love you."

"I love you too"

They kissed once more and then Angela grinned at him and said "Now if you're really good I'll make you my special peanut butter and jelly sandwich."

"Um yeah okay. But just please don't make it like last time."
