| I walked into the room, watching, feeling, waiting. I leaned against the called and looked him over as he stepped into the room. All the females flocked to him, not caring that his hair was out of place or that a woman�s perfume came from his shirt. And to top it off, the mark that was forming on his neck. He hugged the females, knowing all the girls for they were in the music business together. He eventually made his way around the room, saying �hi� to everyone. I just kept watching him. Such a smooth talker. Such a charming personality. All around, perfect. I smiled to myself, not believing he was y man. Yup, all mine! Right now, the proof was all over him. I had given him his birthday present early. Not that he minded in the least. We locked eyes for one brief moment and he smiled. He went back to talking with his guests and I just smiled. �Will you forfer love him?� someone asked me. I turned around and looked at Nick. �Yeah, he�s mine. Nick, you have no idea how much I love him.� �I can take a guess. Hey girlie,� he said, giving me a hug. �Missed you. Other than Howie, you�re the closest one to me.� �I feel special, believe me.� �You should!� I tried talking to Nick, but my eyes kept flying back to Howie. �Why don�t you go be with him?� �Cause it�s his birthday, not mine.� �And?� I just smiled. �He doesn�t need his girl hanging all over him.� �Let me ask you this. There�s nothing on this earth that wouldn�t make you stop loving him?� �Nope.� �Nothing you couldn�t forgive him for?� �No.� �So, if I told you he slept with another female, you wouldn�t be upset.� �No.� �Are you stupid?� �No. I understand Nick. More so than any other girl.� �Damn, wish I had you as my woman.� �Most men do.� He just looked at me and smiled. �Totally different.� �I have to be. Come on, let�s dance.� I leaned back against the head board and watched as he undressed. His shirt came off first and I just stared at his chest. I saw a few hickeys and just smirked. He turned around and I saw his back. He undid his pants and slipped them off, leaving him only in his boxers. He walked into the bathroom and I heard the sink water start going. I sighed and opened my book. It was about a woman who�s husband was having an affair and how she was getting even. I felt the bed move and glanced at Howie. �Did you have fun on your birthday baby?� �Of course. I have some news.� �And that is?� �I, well the boys, we go back on tour in 2 weeks.� �Damn, who�s opening for you?� �Krystal, Sisqo and Julie.� �That girl you just signed?� �Yeah.� �Are you sure she�s ready to tour?� �Oh yeah. She�s prefect when she�s on stage.� �Well, than I�m sure everything will be fine.� �Think you could go with us?� �I doubt it. The magazine hasn�t had the chance to interview some people and they�re coming here.� �And you get that chance?� �Yup.� �Than I�m sure everything will be fine.� He smiled and gave me a quick kiss. �Good night baby.� �Night.� He turned off his light and fell asleep. I just glanced at his sleeping form, and than Julie popped in my mind. Julie was a woman from Mexico that Howie heard singing in a bar. She had a wonderful voice and was so ever beautiful. Shortly after they met, HowieDoIt productions signed her on. That was 6 months ago. I sighed, closed my book and turned my light off. But, I couldn�t fall asleep. I wasn�t the jealous kind and I prided myself on that. But there was something about Julie. Every time she was around, it�s as if we were fighting for his attention, or at least that�s how I felt. I was well aware she liked Howie and wanted him. And watching him, she did effect him. I sighed and got out of bed. I walked toward the window and stared out at the ocean. I wasn�t lying to Nick when I said I would forgive Howie. I loved Howie and knew he loved me. Me and him were meant to be. But, Julie was another story. I sighed and left the house. I walked along the beach, watching the moon as they danced along the waves. Even if Howie did something or slept with someone, I would love and forgive him. But, Julie! I sat down in the sand, letting the waves hit my legs. Julie has her charming ways and she could so easily seduce him. And even though we love each other so dearly, she could fog his mind. I waned to so badly trust Howie, and I did, except for her. �You better come inside.� I glanced up at Howie and smiled. �I was enjoying this.� �You were thinking.� �Maybe.� �Sure. What are you thinking about?� �Being honest.� He wrapped his arms around me and I leaned back against his chest. �Of course.� �I love you and trust you beyond anything. But, I don�t like or trust Julie.� �I don�t blame you. I�ll even admit she has a seducing quality about her. And I�ll be honest and say she effects me.� �I�m well aware of that.� �And you scared I�m going to leave you.� �Well, I�m not sure. A couple months with her, who�s to say what could happen.� He kissed my cheek and smiled. �You know I love you beyond anything.� �I know.� �Then don�t worry.� �You know that�s going to be impossible.� �Just try, for me?� I glanced at him and smiled. �I�ll try.� He gave me a kiss and picked me up. We back to our house hand in hand, but lost in our own thoughts. |
