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

Chapter 197

"Well, darling?" Andy asked me as we were on the boat in Florida.

Our anniversary came rather quickly and I had just been sick with a cold. I was still not 100%.

"It looks beautiful," I told him.

He had spent all morning cleaning the boat up and setting up a little area for us to relax and dine as we sailed around the Florida coast.

"Are you sure you want to still go boating? I know you aren't feeling good still," he told me as he felt my forehead.

I didn't have a fever. It was just head and nose congestion. Oh and a slight cough.

"We didn't spend all this time getting here not enjoying a few hours out in the sun. Maybe I need that," I told him.

He smiled at me. I always compromised even if I wasn't feeling good.

"Okay then with the boat cleaned, we just need to head back into the house to get the stuff," he remarked as he helped me off the boat.

The good thing was the Gibb Compound was off the ocean deck. So Andy easily brought his boat over to the Gibb houses.

I walked inside to the fridge to get the lunch out and packed.

"If you don't feel good, just tell Andy to bring the boat back. I can send Barry out there with him for a while," Linda told me.

I chuckled.

"Thanks, Linda," I told her as I grabbed napkins to pack.

"Also make sure to take these with you," she handed me nausea medication.

"Why?" I asked her.

"Cause even though you've never gotten seasick, I just don't want you getting sicker before you leave Sunday," she told me.

I sighed.

"Thanks I mean I don't know it's just like a head cold now with an occasional cough," I replied.

Andy came in around this time.

"Ready darling?" Andy asked.

"Yes one second," I remarked as I went to grab sunscreen.

I came back and Andy was already holding the lunch pack.

"Ready now?" Andy asked me.

"Yes," I remarked as he grabbed my hand.

We walked out to the dock.

The sun wasn't too bad since the Florida sun was being covered by the passing clouds.

Andy got on the boat first and then helped me into the boat.

"Thank you," I told him.

He smiled at me.

"Okay darling if you feel blah anytime soon, just let me know and I will re-dock the boat," Andy explained.

"Thank you for being so concerned about me," I told him as he got the boat started.

He went and put the lunch and water in the fridge.

"Of course darling I don't want you turning green on me," he replied as we began to drive away from the dock area.

"I don't think I would turn green but," I replied chuckling as I went to look out over the side of the boat.

The water was so murky compared to when we went to Greece last year. It was crazy to see how different water is across the globe.

We stayed quiet for a few. 

"You doing okay?" Andy asked after a while.

He was looking for a place to throw out the anchor so we could dock for a little bit.

"Yes, I'm fine love. Honestly, they always say the sun is a natural healer," I remarked as I yawned.

 "No wonder I've always loved the sunshine," Andy told me.

"For the longest time that I can remember, you've always had a tan," I told him.

"Just call me "Tanner," right?" he chuckled as he parked the boat.

We were off in the middle of the ocean. We could see in the distance the dock of the Gibb Compound.

"You really want me to call you Tanner?" I asked chuckling.

Andy shook his head.

"No not really darling I'm just being silly per usual," he remarked as he went to get some water out of the fridge.

He came back and handed me water.

"Thanks love," I told him.

My nose was now burning from the ocean water.

"Of course," he replied as we just stared out into the ocean.

I started sniffling.

"Do you need a tissue darling?" Andy asked.

"Yeah," I sniffled again.

Andy chuckled as he went to find one of the napkins I had packed.

For some dumb reason, I didn't even think of bringing tissue even though I've been sick.

"There ya go," Andy remarked as he handed me the napkin.

"Thanks love again," I told him as I blew my nose.

"Of course darling just let me know if we need to go back to the house," Andy replied as he felt my forehead.

"I don't have a fever," I told him again.

"Just making sure darling," Andy replied as kissed my forehead.

What a sick anniversary.
