�So, Theresa, what�s your favorite song off of Millennium?� Howie asked.
�I guess I would have to say my favorite song would have to be �Spanish Eyes�.�
�Why?� Howie asked.
�To me, when you sing in the beginning, your voice sounds so sexy. And I guess in my dreams, you were always singing that song to me.�
�Like this?� Howie asked. The next thing I hear is �here we are in the arms of one another�. I just sat there and looked at him. Here he was, singing my favorite song to me. When Howie finished the song, he grabbed me and with such a gentle pressure gave me a kiss that sent my head spinning. As we pulled away, I felt the sun coming up.
�I hope you liked the song?� Howie asked.
�Oh, I loved it,� I said as I cuddled into his arms. I tilted my head up to give Howie a kiss on the cheek but he turned his head and gave me another kiss. We started to slowly fall on my back. Howie started kissing my cheek, my eyes, and then my neck. It was truly one of the sweetest ways I have been kissed. But Howie was to sweet to go beyond kissing, at least, for now. I guess I was shivering because Howie pulled me into his arms and he just held me.
I guess we lost track of time because Howie got a call on his cell phone. It was Brian saying the needed to come home so they could leave for the interview. I looked at my watch and saw it was 8:30.

I guess AJ got the same call because we met up and we all walked back to the house.
�We should get done with the interview around 12:00. So, we�ll give you a call before we come over, okay?� AJ asked.
�Sure,� Shannon answered.
�Okay. Bye my little mouse,� AJ said with a smile. Shannon just smiled remembering what she told him that morning.
�But mice aren�t that cute,� Shannon said.
�They are when they look like you,� AJ said right before he gave Shannon a quick kiss.
�You know, it�s always funny to watch those two,� Howie said in my ear.
�Yeah, but they do look good together,� I agreed.
�I�ll talk to you later mi amor,� Howie said giving me a sweet kiss before he left.

�Okay Shannon, what do we do for the next few hours?� I asked.
�We could get ready, have lunch and go clothes shopping,� Shannon suggested.
�That�s cool. So, it�s clothes shopping. Where would you like to go?� I asked Shannon.
�Um, the Ave. I hear they have great clothes. And then lunch. How about Italian?� Shannon asked.
�Sounds good to me.�
By the time that we were ready to go, it was 10:15. We decided our first stop would be a place called Caliente. Shannon heard that the outfits there were totally cool and they had some of the most prettiest dresses.
�Look Theresa. There�s Caliente,� Shannon said.
�Wow, look at that purple dress. I love it.�
�Come on Theresa. That dress would look good on you,� Shannon said as I parked the car.
�Hold on. I�m coming.�
As we walked into the store, we just stood in awe. It was so big and the clothes were so beautiful.
�Can I help you?� The sales lady asked.
�She would like to try on that purple dress in the window please,� Shannon told the lady, pointing to me. After I tired on the dress I looked myself over in the mirror. For the first time, I looked sexy in a dress.
�How do I look?� I asked walking out of the dressing room.
�Wow Theresa. You look so good!� Shannon exclaimed.
�Thanks. How much did the lady say it was?�
�Um, $550.�
�What? I can�t afford it. I like it and all. But I guess I�ll just get it later when I have the money,� I said.
�But Theresa,� Shannon said. She shut up when I looked over at her.
�Come on Shannon,� I said as I walked out of the room. I handed the dress back to the lady and thanked her. She asked why I didn�t want it. I lied and said �it didn�t look good on me�. We went shopping at some other stores. By the time we were finished, it was going on 12:00.
�Okay Shannon. I�m hungry,� I said.
�Me too. Over there. That little restaurant. Is that okay?� she asked.
We put the bags in the car and went to go eat. A few minutes of looking over the menus, I felt a hand on my back. I just froze, wondering who it could be. I saw Shannon smile and then I saw AJ sit right next to her and give her a kiss. I looked up and into very caring brown eyes.
�Hola, mi amor. Como estas?� Howie asked, searching my eyes to see if I understood him.
I just simply said �bien. Y tu?� He smiled and answered �bien�. I bent forward and gave him a kiss. A kiss that went on for almost two minutes. We finally pulled apart when we heard AJ clearing his throat.

�Sorry AJ,� I said throwing him a look.
�Wow Theresa. Giving my man dirty looks?� Shannon asked.
�Yeah,� I said and smiled.
�Okay, just making sure,� Shannon said, going back into our little joke. The waiter came and all of us gave him our order.
�Hey Howie. How come you guys are here?� I asked, looking at Howie and then to AJ.
�We got done early. And then me and AJ wanted Italian. In fact, this is one of our favorite places,� Howie said. �And then we saw you and figured we wanted to eat with our girls,� he finished.
�Here are your drinks,� the waiter said.
�Thanks,� we all said in unison.
�Excuse me,� I said as I got up to go to the restroom.

�Howie,� Shannon said.
�Yeah,� Howie looked over at Shannon.
�Theresa found this dress and it�s so pretty. But..�Shannon said wondering if she should tell Howie the rest.
�What?� Howie asked.
�Well, the dress was pretty, but it cost $550. She wanted it but she didn�t have the money,� she finished.
�Where�s the store Shannon?� Howie asked as he started to get up. She pointed down the street and said the store was called Caliente. He felt as I was coming out of the bathroom.
