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

Chapter 198

"How bad do your arms feel?" I asked Andy as we sat inside at Barry and Linda's.

We had one more day before going home and Andy was completely sunburnt. He had gone out with Mo and Barry for a while in the sun and it slipped his mind for sunscreen.

"They are radiating heat but it's fine darling," Andy remarked as he felt his arms.

"It's a good thing we are flying home tomorrow so hopefully today if you put the aloe on it, they'll heal a little bit," I told him as we mindlessly watched whatever Barry had left the TV on moments prior to disappearing to the kitchen with Linda.

"Right, darling I just cannot believe how could I forget sunscreen?" Andy remarked.

"It's not that big of a deal," I replied.

"I know it's just irritating," he told me as Linda came back and joined us.

"I got those aloe cubes frozen for you Andy," Linda told him.

"What?" he asked chuckling.

"I asked Linda if there were any extra ice trays to freeze aloe vera gel in. Remember we did that many moons ago when we got sunburnt?" I asked Andy.

He paused.

"Oh right that's a great idea," Andy commented.

"It is. We do that with the kids,"  Linda commented.

"I wonder who came up with the idea," Andy asked.

"I don't know but I read it in one of those magazines a long time ago," I commented as I readjusted on the couch.

"Yeah those health magazines always have good ideas most of the time," Linda remarked.

Barry came into the living room at this time.

"Are you going to go to the studio with us later?" Barry asked Andy.

"Of course, I want to be the first to hear the new songs," Andy told him.

The Brothers Gibb were preparing to work on their first new album in several years. The recording sessions for it would start in January so we would be back out here around that time.

Andy would be working on some tracks but not necessarily a new album yet. He was up in talks with his record contract this coming year.

I zoned out as the two of them talked. Linda had gone back out of the living room while the 3 of us were sitting there.

"D-darling?" Andy's voice had me recenter.

"Huh," I remarked.

"You looked like something was bothering you," Andy told me.

"No I was just thinking and I went into my own little headspace," I told him.

"Oh," Andy remarked.

Linda called Barry so he disappeared momentarily.

"How's your nose darling? I know you must still not be 100%," Andy asked changing the subject.

"For the most part, all the congestion is gone but I still feel blah," I told him.

"No fever, right?" Andy asked as he felt my forehead.

I shook my head.

"No fever just needing to try to get back to 100%," I told him.

"We go home tomorrow so I'm sure once were in the comfort of our home, you can feel better there as well," Andy told me.

I smiled at his remark.

"I think so too. Not that Barry and Linda's house isn't comforting but being somewhere so-called "foreign" you know, you can't be as comfortable," I told him.

Around this time, Mo popped into the living room. When and how he got here, I'll never know.

"Barry and I were gonna head to the studio early Andrew, are you gonna wanna go with us now?" Mo asked Andy.

Andy looked at me.

"Go I'll be fine," I told him.

Andy kissed my forehead.

"Are you sure?" Andy asked me.

"Yes go and have fun. I'll probably be napping anyway," I told him chuckling.

Mo chuckled at my comment.

"If you need anything darling, don't hesitate to call the studio so I can come back," Andy said as he stood up.

"I'll be fine love don't worry," I told him as he stole one more kiss.

"See you later darling," Andy told me.

"Love you have fun," I told him as he and Mo disappeared.

A little bit of Florida fun before reality of life sets back in.
