Two Of Us, No Reply, Girl, Things We Said Today

Serena and Paul weren't your typical couple. They once went in a cave in Kentucky and it wasn't modern. Paul wore a hat like Indiana Jones and Serena was a damsel in distress. They annoyed the tour guide and entertained the others who were at the cave.

The two of us. Paul always said she was his girl.

Serena saw Paul with another woman at Bob Evans. She had walked back out before he saw her. Paul had seen her. He text Serena to meet him later. No reply.

Serena reminded herself that Paul and her weren't engaged. They weren't committed but if he wanted to see other girls, he could have been honest with her. He was holding hands with this woman. It hurt. He had the nerve to text her. What? So they could break up. What happened to the two of us?

Paul text her again. She text she would meet him at his house.

Serena drove to Paul's house. She slowly got out of the car. She would be brave about this. Serena knocked on the door. Paul opened the door. Serena always hugged him when ever she saw him but not this time.

"Okay. I saw you with that other girl today. Is this the part where we break up?"

"Serena, sit down."

Serena sat down on the couch. Paul sat beside her.

"Darling. We aren't going to break up. The girl you saw me with at Bob Evans was my sister. She just got home from Africa. She is a freelance photographer and has also done mission work. I told you about her. I haven't seen her in three years. She is home for six weeks. I want you to meet her. You will love her and she will love you like I do. We will never break up. I love you. Since my sister is home, I want us to make a commitment
Marry me." Paul pulled out a big diamond ring.

Serena was in shock but then was happy. She hugged Paul and said yes. They hugged and kissed. Paul put the ring on her finger. Serena would always remember this as things they said today. She was his girl and it was the two of us, the two of them.

Serena met Paul's sister Angie who helped her plan the wedding and took beautiful pictures of the wedding. Serena and Paul were happily married and he loved pretending to be Indiana Jones when ever they went on vacation to the desert and visiting caves. It would always be the two of them and she would always reply to him no matter what.
