| I stood at the airport, listening for my flight to start boarding. I glanced around and took a deep breath. �Everything is going to be fine,� Theresa said. I just looked at her and smiled. �Why did I break it off with Keith?� �Um, cause he was a major pain in the ass, and you didn�t like him anymore and, why are you asking?� �Just cause I feel alone.� �Jennifer, you need this time alone. You need to get your life together before you do anything else. Trust me. Now go have fun.� I smiled and gave her a quick hug. �Bye Theresa. I�m gonna miss ya.� �Trust me, you won�t. Bye. I know you�ll get it in. Go to your room, there�s something extra if you need it.� She smiled and shoved me to the door before I could say anything else. She waved and was gone the next instant. I set my purse down in my small room and smiled. �I got in!� I thought to myself. I smiled and just twirled around in there. I laughed and picked up the phone. I quickly dialed her number and she quickly answered. �ICE Magazine. Theresa speakin�.� �Theresa, it�s Jennifer.� �Oh, girl, what�s up?� �I got in. I start Monday.� �That�s in two days. Oh, I�m happy.� �I knew you would be. So, I won�t be coming home for a while. But if I do well in my classes, they say there�s a place for me. Like a job. And it�s in New York.� �Good, so you won�t be living far from me yet again. Wow, I can�t believe this. Oh, damn, look, I hate to cut this short, but I forgot I have an appointment. I�ll call you later this weekend. Bye. Oh, and congrats!� �Thanks. Later.� I hung up the phone and sighed. I looked around my small place and smiled. I grabbed my purse and quickly got in my car. I was going out for a night on the town. I sat there, on the stool, nursing the same drink. Okay, so, I was only there for an hour, but still, you can have the same drink in one hour. I shook my head to clear my thoughts and looked around me. I raised the glass to my lips and stopped in mid air as a man walked through the door. He stopped and looked around and the light shone around him. It was quite an interesting picture, but none the less, caught my attention. His hair was down, and straitened and it looked like it was just washed. The light bounced off of it and it looked black. His eyes were brown and open, ready for anything unexpected. His smile on his oh-so-wonderful lips made me smile as well. His body was dressed in black. Black wife beater that did nothing to hide his wonderful arms. And black leather pants. He started walking through the people and stopped a few feet away from me. I sniffed and smelled �Cool Water�. I quickly brushed my hand through my hair and turned around in my seat. I set my drink down and quickly took a quick look at the stranger sitting next to me. He smiled and I smiled back. �Hi,� he said. �Hi.� �So, what brings you here?� �Oh, I�m celebrating.� �Really? Alone?� �Yeah. Oh, my friends and family are back in the States. I came here for an interview to a school and just got in.� �Well congratulations. By the way, my name is Howie.� �Jennifer. It�s a pleasure Howie.� �I believe the pleasure is all mine.� He smiled and I just started blushing. �So, what brings you here?� �Just out, seeing the town. I�m on vacation for a while so I thought Paris would be nice to see.� �Oh, I think it�s nice so far.� �How much have to seen?� �Not a lot to be honest. I�ve only been here for a week. Theresa, oh my friend, sent me here early and I�m still here.� �Theresa? That name sounds familiar.� �Oh, she�s an Editor of a magazine.� �Called ICE?� �Yup.� �Oh yeah, she�s really good friends with AJ.� �Really?� �So, that�s who she likes,� I thought to myself. He just nodded his head and took a sip from his drink. �So, if you don�t mind my askin�, what school did you get into?� �Um, Paris Fashion Institute.� �Wow. You have got to have talent to get into that school. That�s like getting into Yale.� �It wasn�t easy.� �Well, if you don�t mind some company, I�ll gladly celebrate with you.� �You know, I think I would enjoy that.� I smiled and clinked my glass against his. We walked all over, just talking about our past and our futures. We talked about his career and how he was enjoying being with the Boys and how they still had so much left to do. We talked about how far I wanted to go into the design business. We found a quite spot in a park and just gazed up at the stars. �What are you thinking about?� Howie asked me. I just smiled and l glanced over at him. �Nothing really. Just lookin� up at the stars and thinking how pretty they are.� �That�s all?� �Yes.� �If you think I�m going to buy that.� He smiled and I just laughed. �It�s the truth.� He just nodded his head and checked his watch. �Damn, I really hate to go, but it�s already going on three.� I glanced at my watch and stared in amazement. �Wow, I didn�t even know it was that late. I�ll catch you later Howie. Have fun.� He gave me a quick hug and a wink. �You too Miss Jennifer.� He left and I started walking back to my little house. I walked with a smile on my face, already thinking that a great friendship would form from this. �So, how�s school going?� Theresa asked. �Great. And Howie has some awesome ideas.� �Jennifer, just how close are you and D?� �We�re just friends. Sides, he has a girlfriend or something.� |
