Homecoming
Copyright 2003
Looking at the clock, she figured she should be arriving in Flagstaff in thirty minutes. Gail turned the radio down and continued on. She couldn't wait to get there, it'd be great to see all her friends and maybe make some new ones. It was homecoming at her old alma mater Northern Arizona University and she wanted to head over and catch the game.
Arriving a short time later, she made her way into Flagstaff getting a hotel room for the next couple days and then headed over to Wickenburg to The Meadows which was a place to treat depression and other such things, to meet up with a friend who was doing a seminar. It'd been years since she'd last seen Lisa, but had kept in touch through emails and letters. She couldn't wait to see her again.
Pulling into the parking lot, she got out and walked into the building, finding out from the receptionist what room she was in, Gail made her way over, slipping in quietly and finding a seat. After the seminar, she made her way over to Lisa, tapping her on the back.
"Gail! You made it!" Lisa smiled, grabbing her in a fierce hug.
"Yeah, I couldn't miss homecoming. You did great up there." Gail grinned.
"Thanks, I'm always so nervous in the beginning. So, how are you?"
"I'm pretty good, glad to be here finally."
"I'm glad you're here too! Oh, you'll never guess who's here! Wait, was it you that told me that they liked...who was it? The Backstreet Boys?"
Gail blushed, she didn't think Lisa would remember that. "Yeah, that's me."
"Howie right? Your favorite?"
"Well I wouldn't say he's my..."
Lisa smiled. "Oh yeah, I remember now."
"Really Lisa, saying his my favorite is..." But she didn't finish her sentence as Lisa walked off suddenly. Frowning, Gail turned, looking around the crowd, looking for anyone she might've known. She started to walk over to the refreshment stand, when she heard Lisa calling her name suddenly.
"Gail! Gail wait a second!"
Gail turned, narrowing her eyes. What was...? She stilled, it couldn't be, it couldn't.
"Wait Gail. Whew, I leave you for a second and you're starting to wander off. Anyway, like I was saying, you won't believe who's here." She grinned, pulling Howie up next to her. "Gail Turley, Howie Dorough. Howie, this is my good friend Gail. She's a huge fan of the Backstreet Boys and well an even bigger fan of yours." Lisa smiled brightly.
Gail could feel her face turning about thirty different shades of red, this wasn't happening. Howie smiled graciously, a small blush spreading over his face and then offered his hand.
"Gail, it's nice to meet you."
She chuckled nervously, shaking his hand. "Hello Howie, nice to meet you as well."
"Howie's is an acquaintance of the guy who runs The Meadows and is doing a seminar on sibling grief." Lisa explained.
Howie nodded, "I try to do these kinds of things when at all possible. If I can help someone who went through and is going through the same things I am, I'm glad to be of some assistance."
"That's really great Howie, I'm sure it's appreciated." Lisa gasped suddenly. "Oop, I see someone I know. I'll just let you two talk." She grinned, walking off quickly.
"Lisa..." Gail watched her leave and then turned back to Howie, swallowing hard. "So, how long are you gonna be in Arizona for?"
"Just a few days, I have another seminar tomorrow and a few other things to do before I leave."
"Oh, so, any plans for this afternoon?" It was out before she could stop herself. She didn't want to sound like she was trying to offer herself like that. Sighing, she looked over at him.
"Nah, I think I'm just gonna do some sightseeing or something."
"Ok, would you like to go to the Northern Arizona University homecoming game with me and Lisa?" She blurted before she lost her nerve. If he turned her down, she was gonna feel really foolish. Besides, how often did he get the chance to take in a football game and not have to worry bout being hounded by fans?
"Sure, sounds like fun. Can't remember the last time I went to a homecoming game, it should be exciting."
"Great, as soon as Lisa's done, we can head on over." Gail breathed, her heard racing. Part of her had actually been expecting him to turn her down.
Lisa finished a short time later and was delighted to hear that Howie would be joining them for the game. After gathering Lisa's things, they headed over to the college in Gail's car. After arriving and paying to get it, they make their way up into the stands. About four hours later, after cheering and screaming their lungs out, they made their way back down and over to Gail's car.
"Wow, I can't remember having that much fun in a long time. That was a great game, thanks for letting me join you ladies." Howie smiled.
"No problem Howie." Gail smiled.
Lisa just grinned, getting into the back seat.
"Oh, I can sit in back." Howie offered.
"No, this is fine. Sit up front with Gail. I don't mind."
Gail shot a look at her friend then smiled at Howie, slipping into the driver's side.
"Well I'm beat, Gail would you just drop me off at my hotel? I'm gonna turn in early." Lisa explained, yawning dramatically.
"Uhh sure, maybe we can hang out tomorrow then?"
"Of course!"
They dropped Lisa off at the hotel and then took off.
"Uh, thanks for coming to the game with us Howie. I'm sure there's other things you could have been doing."
"Nope, not really. Like I said, just sightseeing."
"Oh, ok. Well, I can either take you back to your hotel, or you can come to mine...for a drink that is. Sorry." She winced, groaning inwardly. Ok, she was totally coming onto him now.
Howie chuckled. "I could go for a drink."
"Cool." Did she just actually say that? She was still cursing herself when she pulled into the parking lot of her hotel and got out. They walked in together and over to the bar, sitting at one of the stools.
They ordered their drinks and sipped quietly at them, making small talk. After about an hour, they decided to call it a night.
"Well hey, let me walk ya back to your room." Howie offered.
"How are you gonna get home then?"
Howie shrugged. "I'll get a cab."
"Howie no, I'll take you back to your hotel."
"Don't worry bout it, I'm fine. Let me walk you to your room." He smiled, pulling her towards the elevators.
She was helpless to resist and allowed him to lead her and pull her inside. They made their way out the elevator on her floor and walked over to her door, waiting as she opened it.
"Well, it was nice to meet you Gail. Thanks for a great day." Howie smiled.
"Believe me it was my pleasure Howie."
He smiled, leaning in to kiss her cheek gently. "Good night Gail" he whispered.
"Good night Howie" She stared at him a moment and before she knew what was happening, his lips were on hers, kissing her deeply. Her hand on the knob of the door, she tried to brace herself. Her head spun as he pulled away, breathing heavily.
"Sorry bout that, I...I just couldn't help myself."
She'd regret not doing what she was about to do later. Taking his hand, she pulled him into the room with her, shutting the door and tossing the key card on the table next to her before looking over at him.
"Gail, are you sure?"
"I'm very sure, so sure I'm not even gonna think about what's about to happen. Just...please, just kiss me again." She whispered.
Howie stared at her moment before walking up to her, cupping her face in his hands and kissing her deeply, slowly walking her back to the bed.
Howie moved slowly, pushing her sweatshirt up and over her head, letting it fall to the floor. Slowly his moved his hands down, unbuttoning and unzipping her jeans, pushing them down and pulled away to look at her.
"You're beautiful." He whispered.
She could feel herself starting to flush, her body trembling lightly. Howie smiled, running his hands over her body gently.
"Relax honey, just relax." He leaned in, kissing her again, moving his hands around, cupping her breasts through her bra.
Gail moaned softly, arching against his hands. Wrapping his arms around her, he deftly unhooked her bra, pulling it off and letting it fall to the floor. She shivered as his lips brushed a sensitive nipple before drawing into his mouth, sucking deeply while his hands moved downward, pushing her undies off. "Howie." She sighed, taking a shaky step towards him.
"So beautiful." He sighed, running a hand inside her thigh and then running a finger over her lightly.
"Ohh" She moaned, rubbing against his hand. "Please Howie, please."
Slowly he pushed a finger inside, rubbing her gently.
Gail could feel her legs starting to give out and she clutched at him helplessly. "Yes..." Her body starting to tense and tighten. "I'm gonna..."
"Not yet baby, I wanna be inside you when you cum." Howie murmured in her ear. Carefully he laid her back on the bed, pulling his shirt off and undoing his jeans and pushing them down with his boxers.
It was more than she could have ever imagined, more than she dreamed about. And she'd dreamed about a moment like this time and time again. She so badly wanted it to last, but she wanted him so bad, that she didn't think she could wait much longer.
Howie pushed her legs up until her feet were flat on the bed, coming down, he rested between her legs, kissing her again. Slowly he moved down, trailing kisses down her neck to her chest, teasing with her nipples once again before moving downward to her stomach, trailing light kisses over it. She giggled a bit, sighing softly.
And still, he kept going, parting her with his fingers, drawing his tongue over her lightly.
Gail cried out softly, feeling herself starting to flood again. "Oh...oh yes..."
He teased her clit with his tongue, biting and nipping gently.
"I-I can't hold off much longer...please..."
Still he continued to torture her to the brink and just when she was ready to fall, he pulled away, kissing her suddenly as he quickly slid into her, moaning against her lips.
"Howie." She moaned, tightening around him.
"Gail, oh Gail, baby you feel so good." Reaching up, she wrapped her arms around him, pulling him down to her as he started to move against her.
Moving his hands down, he pushed her legs up off the mattress, close to her chest as he slid in deeper, grinding and rocking against her.
She knew she couldn't hold off any longer, not any more. She felt the warmth rushing over her to her core as she tightened and held around him, releasing suddenly, crying out softly.
Howie moved against her again and then stilled, releasing along with her, kissing her deeply as he rested on her carefully.
"G-god." Gail panted, holding him tightly, her legs dropping to the mattress slowly.
"You ok baby?"
"Mmm hmm, I'm fine." She smiled, her eyes fluttering shut.
Howie pulled away and looked at her, smiling. "Man, if I was missing out on you during homecomings, I wish I woulda gone to more of them."
"Howie, I didn't go to college in Florida." Gail chuckled.
"Hell, I woulda come to Arizona had I known you were there." Howie grinned.
"Wow." Gail smiled.
"Absolutely." Howie laughed, slipping away and laying down next to her, pulling her into his arms.
"Well, this is one homecoming I'll never forget."
Howie grinned, kissing her forehead lightly. "Me either."
"So...do you think that maybe after your seminar and all your other stuff tomorrow if you have time, we could have another homecoming? Maybe without the game."
"Oh yeah," Howie smiled, "I gotta make up for all the ones I missed."
