| "She just keeps on taking it Age. I don't know how she does it,"Nick remarked as he watched Howie indulge flirtatiously and would eventually end up with for the evening; providing he had enough liquor in him. "It's not for us to say Nick. Maybe she just doesn't know how to help him. Sometimes you gotta hit rock bottom before you realize you have a problem." "I just wish she didn't have to live with it every day of her life. He's become like this chick magnet ever since he got married and he doesn't refuse a one of them." "You are talking about Howie right?" "Yea I am. He'd have had one draped all over him like a cheap suit three weeks ago if I hadn't stepped in. She told me he attacked her about me coming on to her. Can you believe that?" "You don't hide it very well Nick. We all know you have a thing for her except maybe her and she wouldn't dare cheat on him. She's too prim and proper to even think about things like that." "Would you care to put your money where your mouth is Mr. Mclean?"He challenged. "And what exactly are we wagering on?" "For starters, I'll at least have a kiss out of her before the end of the evening." "You gotta give me more than that." "Okay. I'll have her in bed within the next two weeks." "Hold back junior. I'll be needing a little proof." "Shouldn't the guilt she'll be carrying around on her face be enough for you?" "I want video." "On what?"she had approached their friendly little wager. "On the rise and fall of the Roman Empire,"AJ quipped. "Okay. I've intruded. I'm gonna see if I can't go drag my husband off the flavor of the hour,"she reluctantly went to put in her appearance as the perfect little wife. "Where did he go anyway?"Nick commented. "I don't know." She pressed each door open until she found a half naked woman straddling her husband. She always pressed it away because she'd never actually caught him in the act and the fact that she took her wedding vows of until death do us part seriously."Have fun sweetheart. He's a married man,"she stood calmly in the doorway. He practically threw the young girl off the bed, struggling to put his shirt on as he caught up with her where she was."What's going on?"Nick crossed the room to where they stood going at each other. "Nothing you need to be concerned with,"his alcohol talking. "I'll be the judge of that. Nick, do me a favor." "What's that?" as She pulled his large frame toward hers and pressed her lips roughly against his and eagerly parted them. He didn't want to let her go but he knew it was the right thing to do right now. He pushed her away."I think maybe you two should go home and discuss things." "No. Maybe I should go home and she can stay here,"Howie said as his drunken stupor once again pulled him under and onto the floor. |
