(Sequel) You and I | 70s Teen Dream Story

Chapter 30

Though Andy was better, he liked the treatment he had been receiving from me. He was cleared of the infection but occasionally, he would pull the sick card at any given moment. 

"Darling," Andy pleaded while we sat at the kitchen table paying bills.

"What?" I asked him.

"Do I look better than yesterday? I feel like I'm getting worse again," Andy replied.

I sighed. He had been cleared by the doctor and luckily, I had not gotten strep from him.

"Love, you know it'll take a while for you to get your mojo back but you look fine. And by the feels of your forehead, you don't have a fever," I replied trying to console my "sick" husband.

 Andy sighed as his ploy wasn't working on me this time.

"I promise you though if you continue resting, you'll feel better," I also told him.

"I know darling," Andy replied as he grabbed his checkbook. 

For a while, we both stayed to ourselves as we wrote out the envelopes and stamping for the bills.

"After this, what else do we need to do?" I asked Andy.

"Well we could go pick up the film we dropped off yesterday," Andy commented.

"Oh, that's right. I forgot we did that," I replied standing up to stretch my legs.

"So we can run to the post office and then head to Walgreens," Andy replied.

"Shouldn't we drive?" I asked jokingly.

"What?" Andy asked confused.

"You said for us to run to the post office," I stated as he looked at me confused.

Andy rolled his eyes.

"I swear darling you are crazy," Andy replied as he stood up.

"I know I am," I replied smirking.

"Ok so let's go ahead and drive to the post office shall we?" Andy asked. 

"Yes," I replied heading out of the kitchen to grab my purse.

"Do we need to stop anywhere else?" Andy asked as we headed out the front door.

"Not that I know of. I may stop and look at the makeup and stuff at Walgreens though," I told him as he opened the car door for me.

"You and your makeup," Andy replied chuckling.

"Yes me and my makeup," I replied before shutting the door.

Andy got in and we were ready to go off.

"Oh darling I forgot to ask on Friday will you be able to go to the studio with me to hear some playback of songs?" Andy asked as we arrived at a stop sign.

"Of course I would love to. Are they the songs you were supposed to finish before you got sick?" I asked him.

"Yes and we were able to finally get the overdubbing done a few days ago. And thankfully, no one is sick in the studio anymore too," Andy replied.

"I still couldn't believe that all your recording guys had got strep throat. One sneeze contaminated you all," I told him.

"I'm just glad you never got it. That throat pain is the worse no matter what you try to do to soothe it," Andy told me.

"I had got it a few years back before we were together and it was just the worse because of course I had to work and Big Boss didn't exactly like giving us off days," I replied as we turned on the street where the post office was.
