"What are you doing ?"as he backed away from her.
"What's wrong?  Is all that flirting you do just talk?"she had his back against the door.
"Is this what you want?"He turned the situation on her; finding his way to press her against the door.  Once she was trapped, he found himself fighting his conscience against the fact he had an attractive woman in his power and the fact that she was his friend's.
"Well aren't you gonna do anything?"she challenged; their lips merely a matter of  a breath away.
Her arms pinned to the door, he let his conscience go as his lips assaulted hers.  His tongue swiftly pressed through her lips as his grip loosened upon her hands.   He found a hunger within her lips that they both had long denied themselves.  Her fingers plowed through the long dark strands encouraging him to take every part of her as he lifted the sandy blonde ringlets sucking gently on her earlobe.  She clung to his body as his industrious lips continued their task.  Her hands sliding under his jacket tugging at the silky material of his shirt jerked him back to reality." We can't do this,"breathless from their brief encounter.
She spoke volumes in the helpless innocence that drew him back to the taste of her mouth and the warmth of her body.  He pulled his jacket off ; their bodies connected by the mere taste of the other.  He tore through the buttons of her conservative red blouse to the heaven lying below.  He tripped the black lace lingerie and inhaled the stiffening peak of one as the other roamed freely taking the other to a complete peak within seconds.  He steadily continued his journey downward dismissing her of the the black leather knee length skirt she wore.  He slid his fingers between her damp folds and worked them into her; nearly lifting her off the floor as he did so.  Her desire so great, she gasped at the feel of his tongue penetrating the very heart of her.  Her legs draped over his shoulders as he buried his face in her very being.  She grasped onto the door handle as it was the only means of any control for her.  She jerked as he eased up; she realizing she no longer had control of her body anymore and he could do what he wanted.  He realized there was only one thing keeping them from consumating this act. He relinquished the length of his slacks and boxers to the floor as he stepped out of them kicking them aside.  He wanted so badly to feel her body fully pressed against his; their sweat mixing with the others as he pulled his shirt off.  She dragged her perfectly manicured nails the length of his torso discovering every curve and ripple protruding from it. Her eyes drifted downward at the glorious length inviting her to become a part of it.  Her back against the door; she felt his intrusion thrust into her very soul.  Her feet lifted from the floor with a shocking thrust as her legs enveloped his body. She clung desperately to his invasion as each thrust provided a reminder that this was only a temporary emotion; that  she would have to face the man she loved so much and at the same time she clung to the thought that he had also broke her heart as she dug her nails deep into the temporary solution's back as their problem solving soon came to an end.  They rested against one another until the rap on the door shook them back to the reality at hand.
"Howie you in there man?"AJ called through the sealed room.
"Can you give us a second Age.  I'm trying to calm your girl down.  She's pretty upset about the whole situation with you showing up late and all,"relating an excuse; allowing her the time to find all her clothing and dress.
"Come on D.  She's gotta know I didn't do it intentionally and if she'll just come out here, I can explain everything."
Dressing himself, he responded,"Give us just a few more minutes okay?  She was really upset about it."
"Okay.  We'll be waiting out in the club."
His Mother looked to him."Are you sure your okay with this?"
"Mom.  I trust Howie."
"But you didn't tell him about the engagement ring?"
"Because I didn't want  to ruin the surprise for her.  I mean we picked it out together but I didn't promise that it would be this soon.  Besides,  I love watching her face light up at the unexpected."
"Do you think he suspects?"she checked her appearance in the mirror.
"What's wrong with you Julie?  You just dismissed what happened as though it were something that happened to you everyday."
"Howie, " she turned to him,"What happened in here was that I had a moment of weakness and unfortunately you were the one I used to ease the pain. For whatever reasons this was meant to happen; it was also meant to stay here in this room. "
"I can't live with that."
"I can't live without him ."
"Then run to him ."
"If anybody finds out what happened in this room tonight you and I'll both wish it never happened.  I did it out of revenge and you did it because....well, I don't know why you did but I can't  imagine my life without him in it, can you?"
She spoke the truth and whom was he to deny the fact that they'd use each other for their own selfish reasons."You're right.  Are you ready?"
"As ready as I'm ever gonna be."
He escorted her to the spot AJ stood upon."Hey Hon.  I wanna explain why I was so late."
She hushed him."No need."  
"Everything okay?"
"Yeah. Fine.  Why do you ask?"
"Howie said you were more than a little upset with me about being late and now you're calm and collected."
"I was upset but he reasoned with me.  You have a good friend in him."
"I know.  So good that I couldn't tell him the reason why I was gonna be late."
"He knew."
"He had an idea."
"I see."
"Don't be mad at him.  He's just doing what any good friend would do.  He however didn't know the reason why."
"And what might that  have been?"
"Sit over here on this barstool for me okay?"He escorted her to the spot he wanted her in.
The party suddenly fell silent.  Julie noticed all eyes were on her now.
"Remember the night we met?"
"Yeah."
"It was the moment we spent at this spot that I knew I wanted to share my life with you,"he produced a little blue box with gold trim."So if you'll do me the honor, I would love to be able to call you Mrs. Alexander James Mclean."
Her mouth gaped open at the sight before her.  The ring  she had dreamed about.  The ring they had found together.  She wasn't sure that it would really be hers.  There set before her the platinum six prong solitare setting with a three quarter karat marquise shaped diamond as the centerpiece.
"Jules?"
She motioned him closer to her face.
"Yeah Baby?"
"Yes,"she nodded.
"Yes?"
"Yes."
Howie just watched in awe.    
A moment of  weakness.  yeah right.
