�Even a lover makes a mistake sometimes/ Like any other/ Fall out and lose his mind/ And I'm sorry for the things I did/ For your teardrops over words I said/ Can you forgive me and open your heart once again, oh yeah�
I shook my head and pulled the cd out.  I reached over and grabbed Missy and put �Get Your Freak On� on.  I turned up the sound and went back to working on my computer. 
�Theresa,� someone said.  �Theresa!�  I turned my head as I heard the music being turned down.  �Theresa,� Howie said.
�Oh, hi, how are you?  Aren�t you supposed to be on tour?�
�Yeah, but I took a leave of absence.  I had to talk to you.�
�What about?  And can you make this quick, I have a deadline for this chapter.�
�Since when did you put time limits on our talks.�
�Since..I don�t know, since I felt like.  Or maybe it�s cause I don�t want to talk to you, did you think about that one.�  I got out of my car and walked into the kitchen, grabbing a soda. 
�Aren�t you going to offer me one?�
�Why, you know where everything is.  Oh wait, you didn�t come over for the last two months, so maybe you just forgot.  Here, let me show you.�  I pointed to the fridge.  �Look, the sodas are in there.  Excuse me.�  I walked past Howie, or tried to walk past him.  He put his hand out and grabbed my arm.
�Look, I know what I did is wrong and I�m sorry for that.  But you have to forgive me..�
�I don�t have to forgive shit.�
�I know you�re upset��
�More like totally pissed off.�
�But I love you..�
�Yeah, you�re just�you love me?�
�Yes.�
�You love me?�
�Yes.�
�Wait, wait, wait, you, Howie D, love me?�
�Do you want me say it in another language, yes I love you.  I have loved you, I was just�.scared, I guess you can say.�
�Okay, back this up.  You love me?�
�God, yes, Theresa, I love you.�
�But when?�
�Oh, I think before Christina left me.�  I just gazed up at Howie and smiled.
�I love you too D.�  He smiled and pulled me in his arms.  He slowly leaned down and kissed me.  I closed my eyes and felt the world just stop.  I lived in that moment, knowing I would be forever happy.  And the kiss, I swear it was magic.  I could feel the sun in the room.  I knew too that the stars would be brighter tonight.  That the moon would shine, all because of this one simple kiss.  And as we pulled away, the world slowly went back to itself.  Yet, it had two more lovers brought together.  I stared up at him and he stared back.  My hands ran through his hair, down his face, across his shirt and down his arms.  Our fingers finally locked and we just stood like that, both content and happy.  And as I stared at him, I just kept asking myself, �how did I fall in love with you?�
