"Jilly everything is great, I am having a ball and the guys are wonderful to me.. Yes Howie and I are having a lot of fun...AS FRIENDS" Abbie was talking to her friend and co worker back home and filling her in on what was happening. Abbie stuck out her tongue and shook her head as AJ held up nachos and salsa, asking Abbie if she wanted some. "Girl the natives are getting restless let me call you back" Abbie hung up her cell and walked to the fridge and took out a bag of baby carrots and a container of plain yogurt. "Now this is some serious snacking food"
"Gross....sometimes I wonder why the hell I like you so much, you are one strange girl" AJ teased as he ripped open the nacho chips and passed them to Howie. "Are we watching this movie or not?"
"Hold onto your precious jewels I will be there in a minute" Abbie rolled her eyes and settled in between the two men. She dipped her carrots into the yogurt and ate them, oblivious to the look of horror and disgust on both men's faces.
"That is nasty" AJ commented.
"Well I didn't ask you to eat it now did I? Shut the hell up and start the movie"

"Will you throw me a pillow please" AJ said from the floor. They were into the third Godfather movie and he was restless.
"Abs scootch for a minute" Howie and Abbie were cuddled up together on the couch. They had discovered long ago that they fit together nicely so when they watched movies they automatically fell into that position, Howie would sit with his back against the couch and his legs bent while Abbie would sit beside him with her legs underneath his and her head on his chest. Noone understood how they could be comfortable in such an intimate position but the pair were content.
Howie threw the pillow to AJ "Before you settle in can you throw me a blanket, Abbie's legs are cold and they are making me cold"
"Hey!"
Howierubbed his chest where Abbie hit him.

Howie woke up with the urge to go to the washroom. He realised that Abbie and he were still wrapped in their movie position and that she was sound asleep. He reached down and brushed his lips against her forehead "Sleeping beauty...you need to get up"
Abbie stirred and looked up at Howie. "Is it morning?"
"No, we fell asleep watching the movies but I need to go to the bathroom" Howie laughed softly.
"Oh okay" Abbie got up from the couch and walked towards her bunk. Howie followed her down the hall and into the washroom. He finished and walked to her bunk and smiled when he saw her lying awake and staring back at him. "Good night Abbie"
"Night Howie." The two lay across the aisle from each other and stared at
each other, not saying a word, content in the silence of the moment. It
wasn't until Howie closed his eyes that Abbie finally let her eyes drift
from his face and she too slept.
