"Spencer I know that they are waiting but this is a huge decision. I will let you know as soon as I tell them" Abbie hung up and picked up the dress that Howie had delivered to her room. It was a very flimsy but extremely feminine dress. It was a very deep purple with spagetti straps. It danced gracefully over her thighs and barely touched her knees. She read the note that accompanied the dress "Tonight you and I will take each other to places we have only seen in our dreams...Howie" Abbie laid the dress on her bed and went to take a shower.

Howie looked around the room and smiled at the finished result. He straightened his tie and walked out to meet Abbie.
Abbie took a deep breath and walked into the lobby and looked around for Howie. She felt her heart flutter as he turned his back to Nelson, his body guard and faced her. She walked over to him and kissed him lightly and took his outstretched hand "Hi handsome" and the two walked out the waiting car.

Howie stole a glance at Abbie, her eyes were filled with tears as she watched the final scene. Howie reached for her face and gently kissed the tears that were trailing down her cheek. He rested his hand on her thigh and rubbed it as the house lights came up and everyone started to move. "Did you like it?"
"Howie it was incredible, I cannot believe that he died before he got to see the show make it to broadway." Howie had surprised Abbie with tickets to see Rent and he was happy that it had touched her as much as it had the first time Polly and he had seen it.
"Jonathon Larson was a genius as far as I am concerned. Who would have thought that a musical about two roommates, a cross dresser with aids and a parking lot full of homeless people would have been received so phenominally" Howie wrapped his arm around her waist and walked back to the car.

"Howie this is beautiful" Howie was sitting on the balcony of his suite with Abbie in his lap and they were watching the baseball game that was taking place across the street from them. From Howie's balcony they could see into the stadium. Howie looked at Abbie and couldn't help but think that she had never looked more beautiful. She had released her curls and they were now covering her shoulders. Her straps of her dress kept slipping down and her feet were bare and were hanging over the arm of the chair.
"You are awfully quiet..what are you thinking about?" Abbie leaned into Howie and kissed him.
"Just how beautiful you are" Howie brushed aside her curls and kissed her bare shoulder.
"Funny, I was thinking about how hot you look" Howie's shirt was unbottoned and his chest was bare, Abbie had taken his hair out of the elastic and they were now hangin down his neck. Abbie kissed Howie's chest and soon got up from his lap and feathered her kisses down his chest and tickled his belly button with her tongue.
"Baby you have no idea what you do to me" Howie moaned as Abbie unbelted his pants. As Howie's moans got deeper he pulled her up to his mouth and feverishly parted her lips with his tongue. As their kisses deepened Howie picked her up and as she wrapped her legs around his waist he walked down the hall to the bedroom where lit candles illuminated the room and rose petals covered the bed. He lay her down and as he slipped the dress over her head she was fiddling with his pants. Howie was poised above her and as they molded together and their eyes locked in a moment of passion both realised how much they meant to each other.
"STOP IT!!! PLEASE" Abbie beat at Howie's back and struggled to break free.
"Baby it's me..Abbie.." Howie forced her to open her eyes and look into his.
"Howie...Oh I am so sorry" Abbie realised what she had done and started to cry. "I am so sorry" she buried her face in his bare chest and cried.
"Abigail you have to tell me who did it to you..please baby" Howie had instantly become aware of what her secret had been and he wanted to comfort her. "Baby I am here for you..please" Howie ran his fingers through her hair as he kissed her bare shoulders and soothed her.
"It was last year. My professor and I met over drinks to go over my thesis. One drink led to another and then we ended up at his apartment. Howie I went there for help not to be raped."
Howie felt a supreme anger come over him but he knew that the last thing Abbie needed was to be more frightened then she already was. "Don't worry about it baby, the bastard is far away, tonight it is just you and me" Howie wiped her tear streaked face and kissed her.
"Howie I want you to fill me with love, chase away the hatred that he put in my body and fill me with your love"
"You will always have my love Abbie, that I promise you"
