center>Chapter 30
Allie was climbing out of the taxi when she saw Brian and his girlfriend dodging the screaming fans camped outside the hotel.
"Brian...Brian" the fans were screaming.
Allie laughed and paid the driver and walked towards the door.
"Hey that's Howie's girlfriend...over here, look, can I get your picture." the fans were screaming and pulling at Allie.
"Over here Allie," 4 strong arms surronded Allie and led her into the hotel lobby.
"Thanks so much" Allie looked up and saw two of the boys security standing in front of her.
"Howie told us you would be coming, and the news leaked out on the internet and the press that you would be arriving in London so he knew that the fans would be expecting you. He is in penthouse #3"
"Wow, news travels fast..thanks again" Allie walked, her legs shaky, over to the elevators and leaned up against the wall for balance. She had been frightened when all the fans swarmed her. She caught sight of her disheveled appearance in the mirrored elevator doors and laughed.."I look like I just ran a marathon. She was digging in her purse when the elevator doors opened and she looked up and saw Howie standing at the elevator door. He smiled and held out his hand.
"Hey you" Allie smiled and took his hand, "You will have to excuse my appearance I was swarmed by a 100 of your closest fans."
Howie grinned "You look beautiful.." he cupped her face in his hands and kissed her. He pulled the clip that was holding her curls that he loved so much hostage and ran his fingers through them. He picked her up and the two stumbled down the hall to his room, as they kissed. When they entered the room he pinned her back up against the wall and she wrapped her legs tightly around his waist. They were breathless as they exchanged kisses and soft moans, both satisfying the hunger they had bottled for 4 months.
"Howie, I dreamt of this moment for 4 months, god it feels good to have your body in my hands." Allie looked into Howie's deep chocalate brown eyes and smiled.
"Baby you have no idea how many nights I laid awake dreaming of feeling your lips on mine.." Howie kissed her..”do you want to stop?"
"I am not ready yet, and it isn't fair to either of us to keep this going.." Allie said sadly.
Howie pulled her chin up to lock eyes with her and smiled "Don't ever apoligize for respecting your limits, I am willing to wait for as long as you need, if it means we will be together forever.: Howie wrapped her in his arms and kissed her.

"Nick do you want to go shopping for Chia and Allie's birthday gifts?" Lexi asked.
"Sure, what do you want to get them?"
"I ‘m not sure so why don't we just go and look around and I am sure something will catch our eye."
"Okay, let me run and grab my wallet."
Lexi watched as nick ran into his room. She sighed, she knew something was bothering him but she wasn't sure exactly what. The first 2 months had been wonderful, he was loving and tender towards her, but the last 2 had been confusing. He denied having a girlfriend in interviews, he directly said on Regis and Kathie Lee that the rumors about him dating a dancer were untrue and he had become distant. She had asked him what was wrong and he always just said he was tired.

Howie and Allie were walking in the tourist district of London when Allie spotted a jewellry store. "Come on Howie, I have to find Chia a birthday gift and I think I know what I want to get her." She pulled Howie into the store and looked around. She spotted it in a showcase at the back of the store. She pointed it out to the salesperson and she brought it out to show Allie.
"God it is beautiful" Howie commented
"It is a cameo ring. Chia loved our grandmother's. She used to sit and play with it for hours. Nana was going to leave it to her in her will but when Momma died we buried it with her. Chia will love this." Allie smiled at the lady and asked her to wrap it up.
"Look at this ring" Howie exclaimed.
"Those are claudaugh rings, Irish wedding bands, the heart signifies love and the 2 hands signify that you have found love. If the person wears it on their right hand it means they are looking for love, if they wear it on their left hand with the crown pointing up it means they are considering love and with the crown down it means they are taken..." Allie explained to Howie.
"What a beautiful concept..." Howie smiled and kissed Allie.
~~**~~ vChia and AJ were shopping when Chia spotted an antique shop. "Come on let's go in here, maybe we will find something for Allie in here."
AJ groaned and followed Chia into the store. The store was dark and dusty and the 2 seperated to look around the store. AJ was drawn to a jewellry display. He was looking at the display when he saw the perfect gift for Chia. He smiled and asked the salesperson to wrap it up. He walked over smiling to Chia who was holding a very old music box. "Do you think Allie will like it?"
AJ smiled when he heard the sounds of Memory coming from the box. "Baby I think she will love it."
~~**~~
"Lex I am getting really tired, do you think we can call it a day." Nick asked. The 2 had been shopping for over 3 hours and had not yet seen anything they liked for the twins.
"No I am going to keep looking, why don't you just catch a cab and go back to the hotel." Lexi snapped.
"Jesus you don't have to be so bitchy about it, see you later." Nick
stormed
off and as he waked towards the exit of the mall he spotted the perfect
gift
for Allie.
