The night of the party had arrived and Kara once again donned the fantasy costume she deemed appropriate for the occasion. It was incredibly hard to find her way through the massive endorsement Nick called home as she tried to find the indoor gymnasium; complete with the basketball court and wooden pull out bleachers that adorned every high school gym. "Cute, very cute,"she heard the familiar voice ring out from behind her as she turned to him in the dimmed hallway.
"Do you have a reason to be following me?"she growled.
"You know this isn't gonna work if you have PMS sweetie."
"I take it your still with Angela."
"Yes I am. Not that it makes any difference to you."
"You're right. It doesn't but one thing about it does bother me."
"And what's that?"He moved closer.
"You don't treat her like you love her."
"As opposed to the way I treat you,"his free hand drew her against his body.
She shivered with his touch against the bared skin from her costume but kept her composure.
"I wouldn't know. You seem to think I'm some sort of slut."
"Well it wouldn't have anything to do with your line of work now would it?"
"Fair enough but it seems your little girl has been seen running around town with everything she can get her hands on and she's not getting paid for her services. Besides, my main line of business is wedding planning. So if you find yourself in the market for a wedding planner, give me a call. Otherwise, leave me alone,"the heat of her breath danced on his lips
"And how do you know so much about my girlfriend?"
"Let's just say we run in some of the same circles."
"What are you talking about?" he disgustly released her.
"I only state facts honey. I saw her at a party hanging all over your buddy AJ not too long ago. Then there was that one guy from NSYNC. Didn't quite catch his name but they were getting very chummy."
"Weren't you the one that told me to go back to her?"
"I told you that because I thought you were in love with her."
"How can I be in love with her when my heart belongs to you?"
Her heart sank. She was speechless. She'd only met him a number of occasions and they weren't always friendly." Look, I don't know what you're trying to pull but don't. I have a job to do right now."

"And I just made it a little more difficult to do. Good. Because you've been plaguing my thoughts since the day I met you," he drew her body to his once again fiercely claiming her lips. She responded to his sudden outburst and melted into his touch as her fingers wove through his dark curly strands while the other found it's way down his back. The taste of alcohol intruded upon her breath as he found his way through her tight lips. Dear God! What was happening? She was responding to a man with emotion. The first time in two years that it had happened to her. The heat of their bodies rose as his touch lowered. She knew she had to end this and shoved him away.
"You bastard!"
"Why am I a bastard? Because I made you feel something?"
"Leave me alone," she straightened herself in the hall mirror. She re-applied her cherry red lipstick which was now smeared upon his lips.
"If that's really what you want."
"Run along and play with your friends."
"This is far from being over."
"Because you say it is."
"Because it's the truth,"he walked away. Damn her! he found his way into the next available bath.
He leaned upon the marble lavatory counter and looked up into the mirror. She can't be telling the truth about Angie. She wouldn't do that to me. Then again, Kara was the one that suggested I work things out with Angela. Maybe she just wants to see me suffer. Now why would she do that? She responded to me. She responded.
"Hey D!"AJ interrupted his thoughts.
"Sorry."
"Man we were looking for you everywhere. And I can see you're taking part in the festivities."
"Not quite."
"You have red lipstick smeared all over your lips,"He pointed out.
Howie rose to see his swollen lips smeared with remnants of their encounter.
"Don't tell me she's taking on extras at this point."
"Age. You just don't know when to quit."
"You've a got a thing for her."
"Tell me something Age. Was Angela hanging all over you a couple of weeks ago."
"Who told you that?"
"Was she?"Howie demanded an answer.
He turned away.
"Okay."
"Nothing happened Howie. I swear. I tried pushing her away but she just kept hanging."
"And you didn't call me to take care of her."
"She doesn't love you man. She's was hanging all over Chris Kirkpatrick at another party I heard."
"So it is true."
"Did that little wedding planner tell you all this?"
"Yes she did. I didn't believe her."
"You've got it bad for her don't you? I give you credit though. She is attractive but I just don't see it D."
