"D what is up with you today? You were almost non existent in that interview and I have been talking to you for the past 5 minutes and you have not even flinched or acknowledged that you heard me talking" AJ looked at his friend for an explanation..
Howie turned from the window he was staring out and looked at his friend who was studying his face hoping to see what was going on with Howie. "She kissed me Bone..this morning when we woke up..she kissed me"
"Abbie....kissed you...this morning. WOAH back up the train big daddy this little boy is confused" AJ grinned.
"We spent the night watching movies and we fell asleep on the couch. Abbie woke up screaming and Bone I swear it was frightening, her screams were so real."
"What was she screaming? Did you ask her about it?"
"She said the movie had affected her and then she fell back asleep."
"She used that excuse the last couple of times she woke up screaming. D something is not right with that girl. So you kissed her huh?"
Howie laughed "Leave it to you to change the subject and chase to the gory details Bone. When I was leaving we were talking and then she grabbed me and kissed me. God her lips felt so incredible against mine"
"Too much information buddy, don't go there with me okay?"

"Auntie Bee...I want to go to McDonald’s..momma never lets me eat there" Abbie and Absy were walking in the lobby when Abbie heard a scream and turned to see AJ grinning.
"Finally a member of the Foster family that likes real food...come here little lady and say hi to me" AJ bent down and smiled at Absy.
"Aunti he scares me" Absy buried her face in Abbie's shoulder.
"I see you are being your usual smooth self" Howie teased as he watched the scene.
"Howie" Absy ran over to Howie and took his hand "I wanna go to McDonalds.. Auntie is weird and doesnt like meat..take me please" The little girl looked up at Howie with her pleading eyes.
"How can I say no to that face, come on Munchkin lets go to McDonald’s" Howie smiled and Abbie "How was your day so far?"
"The two of them have kept me on my toes, being with you guys has made me lazy" she teased.
"Hey! I heard that" AJ snapped.

"McNuggets are my bestest thing" Absy explained to AJ who she had now made friends with. AJ had bribed the little girl with a chocolate milkshake.
"Now I know his secret..bribe the ladies with chocolate and they flock to him" Abbie winked at AJ and dug in her purse for her cell phone "I know Rae, no we won't be late for the plane I promise. See you in a bit"
"I take it she is worried that you will have so much fun with us that you will forget that she and this little doll are leaving today" AJ rubbed his nose with Absy, who broke out into fits of giggles.
"She is a teen, she is supposed to be flighty and moody I guess" Abbie smiled as she drank her skim milk and nibbled on her nuggets. She glanced over at Howie who was staring at her, unsure of how to act in front of AJ and her niece. Abbie winked and was rewarded with a smile.
"Well I am going to get a sundae...any takers?" Howie stood up and started to clear the table.
"Me please" Absy squealed.
"Absy you are going to be sick on the plane if you keep eating everything"
"Ahh let her you big meanie" AJ whined.
"Fine but if I get a phone call from a hysterical Rae complaining about how Absy was sick on the plane I am waking you up and make you listen to her"
"Do you want anything?" Howie bent his head down to touch hers.
"I am fine but thanks for asking" Abbie smiled and wanted to kiss him but she knew it was risky to do in public.
Howie sensed her unsureness and whispered "That's okay you can thank me later" and he winked.

"FUCK KEVIN!!! Sometimes I cannot believe that you are the oldest and supposed most serious and responsible one." Brian and Kevin were fighting on their bus before the buses left for the next city.
"What is going on with Kentucky's Finest Cousins?" Abbie asked AJ as they climbed into their bus.
"Brian just found out that Kevin got drunk last week, you know when LeighAnn was visiting..well it seems that Kevin got a little to friendly with Leigh while he was drunk and he shook her up pretty good. Kevin tends to lose control easily when he drinks, which is why he doesn't drink very often because he hates losing control. I guess B-rok just found out" AJ flopped down in the kitchen nook and started to flip through the gossip magazines.
"You read those?" Abbie asked in amazement.
"Hell yeah, I live vicariously through these mags..shit I only wish I had the sex life that they seem to think I have..dayum." AJ grinned and resumed his reading.
"When Howie finally shows up can you tell him that I am going to try to get some work done so ask him not to disturbe me" Abbie walked down the hall and climbed into her bunk. She started to write her new column
For years the boys have proclaimed on every tv show, magazine and radio interview that they are brothers and family. I guess some of the members do not take that proclamation seriously. As you all know Brian Littrell has just announced his engagement and while the fans are in shock and most of us wish them well and hope they suceed in living a normal and happy married life it appears that Littrell's own cousin and bandmate Kevin Richardson does not seem to take the engagement seriously. It is reported that Richardson got drunk and proceeded to make passes at the newly engaged Wallace, leaving her so shook up that she left the tour. You know the old saying..you always hurt the ones you love and the ones who help you make millions.
Abbie saved the paragraph with the previous one and laid her head down on the pillow "What the hell am I doing...if I do this I would finally have the recognition I crave. Abbie you can't, they are your friends..who cares if they are dysfunctional..god knows you are not perfect" Abbie fought with herself in her mind and as she closed her eyes to clear her mind she was interrupted.
"I know Bone said you were working but I didn't hear any typing so I figured you were taking a break. Can I join you?" Howie climbed into bed beside her.
"I take it you were pretty confident of what my answer would be" Abbie laughed and then turned serious. "Howie..have you ever been tempted to do something that you knew would hurt the people you loved but that would give you something that you had always wanted and dreamed of?"
"No..I would never risk hurting someone I loved just for my satisfaction" Howie snuggled in close to Abbie, letting his hand rest in her curls.
"I cannot believe that you have never been tempted" Abbie stopped when she felt the slow, even breath on her neck "what great company you are" she said as she saw Howie sound asleep. "If you can't beat em join em I guess" Abbie buried her face in Howie's chest and continued to think of her dilemma.

"Trust me, Abigail Foster will come around..She is about to get an offer
that I know she will not refuse" Spencer hung up the phone and glanced at
the letter that was on it's way to Abbie.
