The day went too fast for Breanna and Howie. They left the hotel around 2pm and got back around 1am. They both had to pack their things and Breanna needed to talk to Eve about their morning plans. The guys were scheduled to leave on an 11am flight which meant they had to be out of the hotel no later than 9am. The hotel rooms were booked until 2pm so both girls could leave any time before that. Breanna and Howie went out for a late lunch at a secluded restaurant and instead of taking the waiting limo they used Breanna's car. They wanted to avoid as many fans as possible so Howie wore his trademark disguise, a baseball cap. Breanna hadn't seen Kevin or Eve in the past three days and she didn't think she would until later that night or the next morning. She had a feeling that Eve and Kevin were more involved than she had previously thought. "As long as she's happy." Breanna thought to herself as she and Howie drove around town talking about some of the funnier things that had happened that week. "I can't believe Brian got that drunk!" Howie said laughing remembering their first day together. "He's never been that drunk before?" She asked him as they drove down the strip. "Never! Well, a few times but it's always been us around. But this time you both were there and he was acting like a ham. He's always a ham but he was acting like a bigger one!" He laughed. "Must be fun with you guys on tour." Breanna commented as she read the street signs trying to think of a place to go. "Want to go with us on the next tour?" He asked Breanna as he turned in his seat to look at her. "When will that be? And where?" She asked. "It probably won't be for a year at the least. We're going back into the studios in a few days and we'll be there for at least 9 months. We'll be flying back and forth between Sweden and Florida for that. When the tour starts it'll probably be a world tour so we'll be all over the place for about 9 months." He explained. "I still haven't been able to comprehend how big you guys are. I probably won't until I get back home and talk to my little cousin. She's about 12, actually she's turning 13 in two weeks! Maybe you could sing to her as a surprise!" Breanna said excitedly to Howie. "Well, I'll hopefully be there with you. I'll sing for her. Anyway, you haven't answered my question." He said to Breanna as the stopped at a red light. "Come'ere." Breanna told Howie as he leaned in for a kiss. "Yes. You know I would love to go with you." She smiled at him as the light turned green.

They spent the entire afternoon and evening talking about everything from movies, to music, to world politics and religion. He realized that she was incredibly intelligent and had a strong mind. She was ambitious and knew what she wanted in life. She told him about how she wants to own a record label one day. She explained that she was studying music production and business while Eve was studying business and law. They both planned to get together on that idea of theirs when they graduated from college. Throughout the entire conversation with Breanna, Howie realized that she probably knew more about the business side of music that he did. He was thoroughly impressed. By the end of the evening they were both in high spirits laughing, talking, hugging, and stealing kisses here and there. Luckily none of the fans noticed Howie, and Breanna was glad. She loved his fans but she wanted their last day together to be just theirs. After 11 o'clock they decided it would be best if they headed back to the hotel and packed up everything. Howie estimated that he had about an hour worth of packing to do and Breanna had possibly more. He made a mental note to remember that Breanna loved clothes with a passion and she wore a size 8. He knew of a boutique near his house that had so many things that would look nice on her and he planned to send as many outfits as he could find in the limited amount of free time that he would be having soon. As they left the restaurant, he led her to a small nicely landscaped park for a walk in the moonlight. "Ya know, I've thought about this week over and over in my mind and I feel like I've known you forever." He said as she smiled at him. "I know what you mean. It's only been a week." She murmured to herself as he looked up at the sky. "See that?" Howie said pointing at the sky. "See what? The stars?" She asked him. "Yeah, the stars. See that one, the orange colored one?" He asked as he pointed at the all-too-familiar star. "Yeah, that's Betelgeuse, the armpit star of the constellation Orion the Hunter." She explained to Howie. His jaw dropped as he looked at her in awe. "What!?" She asked laughing. "I wanted to be an astronaut when I was younger because I loved astronomy so much and I wanted to be the first woman on Mars." She explained as he stared back and forth between Breanna and the star. "An astronaut? What changed your mind?" He asked. "Physics. I hate math with a passion, especially scientific math that uses long systems of equations. I don't have the attention span to work on those. Anyway, I'm barely 5'2". I would barely qualify for the program, if I qualified at all." She explained the inner workings of NASA to Howie as he kept staring between the star and Breanna. "I'm sorry...why did you point to the star?" She asked remembering that there was a reason for it. "I wanted it to be our star, that's all. If you're lonely at home and I can't call you cause I'm in the studio or something then just look at the star and think of me. I'll probably be looking at it at the same time." He explained. This was the first mention of the next day and it pained her more than she thought possible. "I'll see him in two weeks!" She told herself as Howie stared at her frowning face. "You okay?" He asked. She shook her head. "Not really but I'm going to have to get used to it. I can't expect you to be by my side all the time." She said smiling. "So, Betelgeuse is our star?" She asked him as he held her in his arms, the both of them staring at the star. "Yup!" He said happily. "We better get going!" She said as she glanced down at his pager to see the time. "What time is it?" He asked. "Past midnight." She said looking up at him as she shivered. A cool breeze blew through her dress. He pumped his hands up and down her arms to help warm her while he stared back at the sky. "Howie? Hun? Wanna go?" She asked. "Give me a minute." He whispered. "Okay, whatever you want." She said as she leaned her head against his chest while he warmed her arms. He was acting odd and she couldn't figure it out. He wouldn't look at her, opting to look at the sky instead. She finally pulled herself away from him so she could see his face. She couldn't figure out why he had a love for the stars all of a sudden. "Howie!" She said quietly as she reached up to touch his face. He had been crying but he didn't want her to see. "I'm sorry." He whispered looking down at her while trying to wipe away the tears. "Sorry for what?" She asked. Breanna grabbed his hand and led him over to a bench and sat him down so he could talk. "I'm just as upset about leaving you as you are, I just couldn't show you. I didn't want to make you more upset. I wanted to be strong for you, but I can't." He explained. He wasn't exactly crying but the tears rolling down his cheeks weren't for happiness. "Hun, don't worry. You're not making me more upset cause I don't think it's possible. I just keep reminding myself that I'll see in a couple of weeks. No biggie. I'm not going to worry cause you're a phone call away and now you're a star away, too." She said smiling at him. He felt better and smiled back at her. She had a way with him that made him feel so much better. "You're right but I'm going to miss you." He said to her. "Me too." She whispered as he kissed her softly. "Okay, we really gotta get going or we'll never be ready to leave tomorrow." He stated as he pulled her up. They walked hand in hand back to her car and this time he drove while Breanna told him how to get back to the hotel. When they got back to the hotel Breanna jumped on Howie's back as they played around in the lobby on the way back to their room. It was a Friday evening and the hotel was abnormally quiet. The hotel employees all stopped working to watch how happy Breanna and Howie were together. Mark was on a break downstairs talking to the manager as he watched them go by to the elevator. "I give them a year before they announce an engagement." Mark said smiling to himself.

After they got back to their room they both ran around trying to sort out who's things belonged to who and how they were going to pack everything. "I want to finish getting packed in an hour!" Breanna shouted from downstairs as she looked under the couch for anything she may have left. "An hour? Hun, I don't think that's possible. You have too much stuff!" He laughed. "Oh shuddup!" She said as she ran back upstairs with a pair of shoes that she found. "Make me!" He teased her while he finished zipping his last suitcase. "I will when I'm done packing. You're done already? How?" She asked as she looked around the room. The only thing left in their room were her belongings. "I started packing yesterday. Need help?" He asked. "Yeah, fold all of that but leave my white mini skirt and black tank top out. Oh, and my black bra and panties. I'll just wear these sandals." She said pointing to a pile of clothes. "Um, okay." He said smiling. It was nice to have someone in his life again and she was definitely more different than any other girl he had dated in the past. After an hour she sat on her suitcase as he helped her zip it. "God girl, how much did you bring?" He asked laughing. "Not a lot but I went shopping with you this week! Oh, stop spoiling me, by the way." She said kissing him. "I'm not spoiling you. You deserve everything I can give you." He smiled back. "Oh puh-leze!" She laughed. "Oh please? What are you asking for?" He said slyly. "I'd give you a heart attack! You couldn't handle me, Hun." She said getting off the suitcase with Howie's assistance. "I probably couldn't. But oh well!" He said picking her up and throwing her on the bed. They didn't do anything that they hadn't done before but it was a lot harder to control themselves. "I still want to wait." He said to her in between kisses. "I know. I don't really want to but I can handle it...for now." She said smiling at him with her arms wrapped around his neck. The spent most of the early morning hours in each others arms talking and laughing and wrestling around. Howie knew Breanna was ticklish. He tickled her until they both tumbled out of bed with her screaming "Stop Howie! Stop!!" It wasn't until 6am that they actually fell asleep.

Two hours later came the wake-up call. Actually it was a visit. "Get your horny ass out of bed, D!" AJ screamed from downstairs. "Oh shit..." Howie mumbled as Breanna turned towards him half-asleep burring her head under the covers. "Alright, I'm awake AJ! Give me half an hour before I'm ready to leave!" Howie yelled half asleep. "Alright, want me to have these taken to the lobby?" AJ shouted upstairs indicating the luggage. "Yeah, thanks!" Howie yelled back. "See ya!" AJ yelled as Howie heard the door close. "I gotta get up." He told Breanna. "NO!" She shouted while throwing her arms around him. "C'mon Hun. You know I have to go." He said quietly. "I know. Can I go with you to the airport?" She asked. "Of course you can." "Okay, let me jump in the shower first." She told him. "We don't have that much time." He explained. "That's easy. C'mon!" She grabbed his hand and pulled him out of bed. They showered together and got dressed quickly. "You're wearing that?" Howie asked. "I told you yesterday." She said laughing. "Yeah, but I didn't know it would be that short. I mean, it looks great, but everyone's going to be staring." He told her. "And that's a problem for you? They can stare all they want but it's you I'll be going home with, soon." She smiled. "I know. Well, okay, we gotta go!" He stated as he took one last look around the hotel room. Nothing was left that belonged to him. The only thing left was Breanna's laptop and her luggage downstairs. They walked hand-in-hand to the elevator while he pulled his small pilot suitcase that he planned to carry-on. There were fans in the lobby but Q explained that the guys were going to be late if they didn't get going soon. Everyone piled into the limo except for Kevin and Eve. "They went ahead." Q explained as everyone nodded. "Hey Mya." Breanna said as a very sleepy Mya smiled back. She had on her sunglasses and her hair in a ponytail. "I had to drag her lazy ass outta bed." AJ explained as Mya playful nudged him in the ribs with her elbow. "When are you coming to Orlando for a visit?" Mya asked while yawning. "Soon I hope. I really don't know. I have school until May. That entire month is going to be out for me cause I'll be studying for finals. Eve and I were planning on moving out there in August but I don't think I'm gonna be able to wait that long." Breanna said smiling as she leaned back into Howie's chest while he kissed the top of her head.
