| She also saw the nice hickey right next to the ring. Shannon looked up and saw the hickeys on my neck. She walked over and gave me a hug. �Nice marks,� she whispered in my ear. �You too,� I said. Shannon had one hickey on her neck and one on her stomach. She fell asleep in her tank top, so you could see the hickey. �Good morning Howie,� Shannon said, noticing he had a hickey on his neck. �Morning Shannon,� Howie said, giving her a light smile. �Morning AJ,� I said, noticing he came in the room with just his boxers on. I also saw the hickey on both his stomach and his neck. �Morning Theresa.� AJ walked over to me and gave me a hug. �What time did you guys come in?� AJ asked me. �About 10 minutes ago,� I said. �Okay. So, what plans do you have today?� Shannon asked the guys. �Nothing much. Would you guys and the gang wanna go out?� Howie asked. �Sure. How about, um, the club. Before that the mall? Is that okay?� �Sure. I�ll just call the gang,� AJ said. 5 minutes later AJ walked in and said they would love to. They said around 6:00. �Okay but before you guys to, let�s eat.� We sat down to eat and we spent the next two hours just sitting there and talking. �Let�s go to the beach for awhile?� I suggested. �Okay,� the rest agreed. We left the house around 12:30. We all stopped and put sunscreen on. AJ and Shannon went into the water and just kept splashing each other. �Howie, can you put the sunscreen on my back?� I asked. �Sure.� He put the sunscreen on and for the first time saw my little tattoo. It was a small heart with �H.D.� in it. �Um, Theresa, what�s that?� he asked. �What?� I asked. I knew he found it, I just didn�t fell like telling him what or why I got it. �This tattoo. Why did you get it?� �Well, I was at a party one night and we were playing truth or dare. I took a dare. They knew how much I liked you. So, they dared me to get a tattoo with your name on it. I said just H.D. they agreed. So, I put it in a place where most people wouldn�t see it. I forgot I had it when I met you. Then last night I remembered it,� I said, blushing. �That�s sweet,� he whispered in my ear. He started to kiss my neck but then I felt a splash on my leg. I looked up and AJ and Shannon were trying to splash us. I just smiled at Howie. We both knew that we could win any fight. The four of us were in that splash fight for almost 15 minutes. �I�m going to go and get a tan,� I said as I went to the blanket and laid down. I closed my eyes and got lost in my own thoughts. I didn�t know that anyone had laid down next to me. �Theresa?� I sat upright. �AJ, you scared me,� I said. �Sorry. Can I talk to you?� he asked. �Sure. Let me guess, Shannon right?� I asked, smiling. �Yeah, kinda. How did her last boyfriend treat her?� he asked looking at Shannon. �I don�t know how much she�s told you. But you do know she hasn�t had a lot of boyfriends, right?� �Yeah. She told me that.� �Okay, well, Ricky, her last boyfriend, was a major asshole. I mean, he lied to her a lot. In fact, the last I heard, he got his ex-girlfriend pregnant. I think she called him back and he went. Shannon heard it from his ex-girlfriend. When she talked to him about it, he denied everything. It�s funny cause she cared about him a lot. And then he hurt her this badly. That was almost 2 years ago. She�s never really trusted anyone after that.� �Is that all he did?� AJ said, looking at me. I looked away because I couldn�t tell him anything else and if I continued to look into those eyes, I would say it all. �Please tell me. What else did he do?� �She..well..he almost raped her. He was drunk and some how took her home safely. I walked in on him before he tried anything. After she told me, I kicked the shit out of him.� �Is that all?� he asked. He looked Shannon. �How could anyone do that to such a beautiful girl, hi baby,� he thought. �Thanks Theresa,� he said as he gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek. �No problem,� I said. I looked over at Shannon and watched as Howie picked her up and threw her in the water. �Hey D. Leave my woman alone,� AJ called, as he dunked Howie. I just smiled and laid back down and closed my eyes. I suddenly felt someone kissing me and getting me all wet. I opened my eyes and saw Howie. �Hola, mi amor,� he said, smiling. �Hola, mi corazon,� I said, smiling. �Kiss me,� I whispered. He bent down and kissed me. �Excuse me? Do you mind?� I thought it was Shannon, so I just laughed. I looked up and into blue eyes. Shannon�s were hazel. I sat up and looked this girl over. �Do you mind?� the girl asked, walking over to Howie and giving him a kiss. He just pushed her off. �Damn it, Emily. Stop,� Howie said, anger flashing in his eyes. �What? You know you still want me?� Emily said, walking back to Howie. I just stepped right in front of Howie. �Who the hell are you?� she asked. �His girlfriend,� I said. I gave her look that said leave-my-boyfriend-the-fuck-alone. �Howie, please explain to me, who this girl is,� Emily said, trying to pass me. I just shoved and she fell to the ground. �Like I said, leave him alone.� As I finished, Howie came up and put his arm around me. �If you really want to know who she is, she�s my wife,� he said placing his hand in mine and squeezing. I knew what he meant. �Oh, yeah, I�m having his kid, too,� I added. She just stood there, tears falling from her eyes. �How could you Howie? You said you loved me? And worst of all, with this whore,� she said, looking me up and down. I walked away from Howie and stood right in front of her. With every once of strength, I turned my back on he and walked back to Howie. She ran off crying. �I love you so much, Theresa,� Howie said. �Te amo,� I said right back. He picked me up from my waist and kissed me with all of his passion. |
