"Hi sexy.." Allie laughed.
"Hey yourself gorgeaus, how was the library?"
"Quiet, " Allie joked "How did your day with your brother go?"
"Well he knew something was up and I spent most of that day tellinghim about you."
Allie blushed.." I see , must have been a short conversation, Howie Iam glad you called, if you can make other plans I suggest you do."
"Oh, why?" Howie asked disapointed.
"Well Chia and I need to catch up on some stuff so we are spendingthe evening in."
"Oh a chick bitch, hmm my sisters told me all about that, apparentlythey can get pretty graphic." Howie teased.
"Well Howie, us redheads could probably make you blush with thedetailswe go into, "
"I don't doubt it, well have fun and I guess I will call AJ and do themale bonding thing."
"Well I am sure your ears will be burning...have fun, call metomorrow?"

Alicia had gone to the market and bought a pint of Ben and Jerry'striple brownie fudge ice cream, Fluff marshmellow spread, and cholate syrupand bought a bottle of white wine.
"Hi Chia...I am home, supper is here." Allie called out from thehall.
"In the kitchen"
Allie walked in and saw her sister smiling..
"I guess you had a good evening, let's go out to the livingroom andeat."
The two girls settled into their usual spots, leaving the love seatand recliner empty, as that was where there parents would sit if they were there.
"So where did AJ take you?" Allie asked as she used her chopsticks toeat her noodles.
"Allie it was the most romantic, he blindfolded me and when he tookthe blindfold off I was standing on a sailboat, he had cooked dinner forme, oh my god Allie he made this toast. It was ‘To the beginning of eternityandthe end of lonliness’. When he made that toast I got all tingly inside, Imean nobody has ever said anything liek that to me before."
Allie could see the tears in Chia's eyes and she knew that she wasfalling for AJ. "So what else did you do?"
"We spent the evening watching the stars and talking, my god Allie Iknow Momma sent him from heaven to help me start healing, when I woke up inhis arms this morning I knew I was meant to be in them forever."
Allie hugged her sister " Chia I know how much you want to be lovedbut promise me you will take things slow, just like Mom always told us.."
"I will, so how was your evening?"
"Well we went out for thai food, the funny thing was it reminded meof daddy's and my dinner dates, we had great food and oh Chia when I toldHowie about those dates with daddy i lost in and started to cry, he didn'tget all rigid and nervous, he just took me in his arms, and let me cry. Afterwe went to the concert." Allie continued telling the details and when shecame to the part of the kiss in the parking lot, Chia Squealed...
"Oh my god, that is so funny, as if you were holding up traffic inthe parking lot cuz you were kissing...was he good?"
"Chia....really, that is a little personal...." Allie scolded andthenher face broke out in a huge smile "My thighs felt like they were on firewhen he kissed me.."
"So did you guys have an early evening?" Chia hinted.
"Chia you know I am waiting...what a thing to ask "
"Sorry, I guess I got a little carried away."
"That’s okay one of us has to be the pure one." Allie teased.
"Hey, that was so rude" Chia tackled her sister and started ticklingher...
"I am going to pee my pants Chia...stop" Allie was screaming andlaughing.

"She said she didn't see the point of dating soemone if there was no chance of a future...guess I don't blame her in a way." Howie said.
"Wow, her and Chia are complete opposites...Howie you could end upbeing her first relationship, hmm you could break her in.."
"Jesus AJ she isn't a horse, she doesnt need to be broken in..."Howie snapped.
"D man it was a joke, lighten up."
