"Hey"
"You forgive me right, we can still be friends cause I didn't........I just-"
"Yeah I forgive you, we can still be friends." He walked off and into his bedroom and all she could do was stand there and let him.
***********
Howie walked into his house and Nancy raced into his arms and Claudia raced up to AJ and she spoke excitedly "You are not gonna believe what Debra did for you"
"Recorded herself on video tape stripping."
She punched him as hard as she could in the arm and Debra came down the stairs with the baby in her arms and came and sat on the couch and they all followed her and Nancy sat right next to her mother said happily "Guess what Mommy named the baby?"
"We decided to name the baby after you ...well I thought it was because you have a very swwet to Nancy and she loves you and some other stuff I don't wish to get into cause you may let it go to your head so leave it at that..be happy." Debra said.
"Really, What's her name?"
"Her name is Alexia" and Claudia more excited about it than he was jumped in with "Isn't that a cute name."
"Yeah"
Debra placed the small child in his arms when Howie not thinking it was a good idea said "It was all her idea cause if left up to me-"
Debra grabbed his hand to get him to be quiet when she said "Don't get it wrong AJ I still don't like you."
"I am still waiting on my lap dance."
Even this time she couldn't help but laugh.

By this time Kevin had changed but he was still thinking about if he should go or not. He didn't know if he should call first or just show up and surprise her. He wanted to see her again so he decided to go and surprise her. Kevin was walking around the huge lobby. He went up to the front, lucky for him the lady knew he was and let him up for a hug and autograph. The place was dark except the dim light coming from the back. He followed it and walked up to the cracked door and peeped inside and she was sitting on her desk her legs crossed looking down reading from what he could see was their contracts. She had her long black hair down, her shoes off and his heart skipped a beat cause she never looked more beautiful. He thought of the possibility of her being married but he didn't remember seeing a ring and he thought she could have a boyfriend he was about to knock but turned away then he went back up to the door and once again turned away and finally he knocked and she thinking it was one of the clerks said "Come in"
He did and she was so surprised to see him she was speechless. She was so surprised to see this very handsome man standing in her office who appeared to be nervous then he spoke "I know you ae busy I-"
"I am so sorry I didn't know you were coming, you had to see me like this it is so unprofessional." She was about to get off her desk when he said "No stay. You look great like this, I mean just like that you do."
"Thank you"
When he tucked her hair behind her ear still reading the paper he knew she had to be his then she looked up at him again with the most beautiful dark green eyes he had ever seen and he said "I brought you this."
He handed her a single rose and a small bag in which she opened and laughed it was a sub-sandwich,chips and a diet soda which she pulled out the bag holing it in her hand "Diet Soda? Are you trying to tell me something?"
"No you just seemed like a girl...I mean a women who takes care of herself."
"With 5 kids and a husband how can you not stay fit." When she saw the look that crossed his face she couldn't help but laugh as she said laughing a little "I was joking, I was joking. I don't have a husband or 5 kids." She pulled the picture off her desk from behind her and she handed it to him "I have a son, you seemed so shocked."
"This is your son?" he said having just briefly glanced over the picture.
"Yeah, his name is Tommy, he's 6 years old, he's sweet heart, I miss him so much."
He looked over the picture one more of the little boy in which she was hugging. He looked like her a little he had her eyes and her skin tone he had short black hair then he handed the picture back to her saying "He lives with his father."
"Yeah, long story" She climbed off her desk "But thank you for the food I was really hungry and one more thing you guys contract is worst than I thought."
She walked over to the stereo turning it off, reading the contract still saying "Don't worry...You remember what I talked to you guys about earlier this thing will be trash so don't worry."
"Well you know you left you suitcase earlier."
She looked up and her face seemed to light up as she walked over to him "You have it" He held it up for her to see "You are such a life saver, I had no idea where this thing was." He stood up handing it to her "Thank you so much."
"You're welcome, that's the main reason, well not main reason but that was the whole purpose of me being here not being here but ......just forget it."
She laughed as she picked the rose up and smelled it as she said "You're so nice, I thought Howie was the sweet one."
"So you do know about out group."
She laughed as she gathered up her things and slipping her shoes back on "I have 2 teenage nice and all I hear about is you guys."
She gathered her things up, he carried some of her things for her as he followed her out her office door. He walked her to her car which he was very surprised of when he saw it was an all black Mercedes for the coming year with black leather interior. As he put her things inside he said "If this is your car may I ask what you live in"
She tossed her bag inside on the other seat and got inside the car herself not closing the door yet as she replied "I live....far...not very far but my home is surrounded by trees, it's sat far away from the street cause I am not a people person I have 5 bedroom and why I'm I telling you this?"
"Cause maybe I can check it out sometimes."
"I don't think so, thank you so much for returning my suitcase and helping me carry all this junk to my car."
"And I brought you dinner and that means you owe me right."
She laughed and closed her door and started the car and he knocked on the window as she was putting her seat belt in which afterwards she let the window down looking up at him "Yes"
"You're forgetting your suitcase again"
He handed it to her "Thank You"
"That's two times."
"So what it was goodbye Mr.Richardson."
She rolled her window back up and drove off him knowing she was playing hard to get only made him want her more. He happily went back to his car and left with her on his mind. She go home and worked a while longer afterwards she took a shower, she dressed in a long white nightgown she went to make sure her house was locked up she passed by her things on the table and the rose he had given her earlier. She picked it up and couldn't help but smile as she smelled it again and stated the stairs when she got a small vase and placed the rose in it and then she sat it on her night stand beside the bed. Then she turned the light off and looked out the window at the moonlight thinking about him.

It was 3 days later he hadn't saw her but she was on his mind trying to get her off his mind for a while he decided to go to the gym lifting weights as Howie as his spotter when he said sitting up "When do we meet with that lawyer chick again?"
"Lawyer chick? Don't you mean Stephanie the girl you were all over the other day?
"I wasn't all over her."
"You couldn't even get you words out right."
"I had a dream about her, not like a dream, it was more like a lustful fantasy and I can't get her out my head."
"You have never been this hard on a girl before, you think it's love at first sight."
"If you believe in that type of stuff."
"So that's a yes."
"I guess, I don't know what's wrong with me, maybe I'm not over Tiffany yet and I just want someone....I don't know."
"You'll be okay, but I told Debra that I would be home for dinner so I have to go you can join us if you want to."
"That's okay, I need time to clear my head, I'll see you later."
With that Howie grabbed his bag and left and he just started to work out again, trying to get his mind off her for a while.
