Years Ago, In A Far Away Place


written by Kim Ann

Chapter 32

Howie wiped the sleep from his eyes and sat up. He had stared out the window and thought about Molly and the dance floor scene until 5 am. He had finally dragged his tired and confused body to bed and now the buzz from his alarm clock was waking him after only 2 hours of sleep. "It cannot be that time already" Howie grumbled and stumbled into the bathroom, he turned on the shower and undressed. He was thinking of Molly's confession when he slipped into the shower and screamed as the cold water hit his body. "Fuck..." Howie vigourosly scrubbed his body and let the lather rinse off his body and down the drain. He reached for the towel and wrapped it around his body and stepped out of the shower. " I have got to talk to Molly"

Molly tried to move but she was trapped, AJ's arms were holding her and somehow in the night they had managed to wrap the blankets around them like a cocoon. Molly smiled and she gently knudged AJ's ribs.

"Unnn" AJ mumbled as he tried to move and started to panic when he realised he was trapped. As his arms and legs started to flail Molly tried to untangle the two before AJ's fist connected with her head.

"Alex....Alex...calm down, hold on" Molly was trying not to laugh as she saw AJ trying to untangle himself from the sheets.

AJ blushed "Sorry, I forget where I am sometimes" he and Molly untangled the sheets and were soon free. "So, did you sleep well Chipper?" AJ ran his thumb across her sheet creased cheek.

"Suprisingly I did...thanks for staying with me Alex..." Molly hugged him and glanced at the clock radio "Um Alex you have an interview in an hour, I suggest that you head back to your room and start getting ready. Besides I need some time to work out my game plan when I see Howie" Molly kissed AJ's cheek and walked him to the door. She closed the door behind AJ and rested her body against it "How am I going to act normal, how am I going to act like nothing happened?"

"Baby you would not believe it, Molly came running into the hotel crying and collapsed in my arms, she was mumbling things about being overweight, Howie teasing her and being bulimic." Kevin walked to the door talking on his cell with Skylar. "Holy shit, and now AJ just left Molly's room and judging from the creases in his clothes and his messed up hair I would say he spent the night with her."

"WHAT??" Good Lord what am I missing down there?" Skylar laughed, trying to hide the disapointment of being so far away from the action.

"I don't know what is going on but I am sure going to get to the bottom of it"

"Now Kevin don't go all fatherly on them, I am sure that Molly and AJ spent the night talking, they have always been really close, don't go jumping to conclusions," Skylar scolded.

Kevin listened to his fiancé talk about her nursery shopping trip that she had planned that afternoon, but his thoughts were not on wallpaper and cribs but on Molly and his two friends.

Molly smoothed down her navy blue business suit and tied her hair up with a clip. She grabbed her cell phone and the itinerary and walked down the hall knocking on the guy's doors to make sure they were up. "Brian get off of Leighanne"......"Nick stop playing with the palm sisters your hands are too hairy as it is”...."Kevin, I know you are talking to Skylar tell her I said hello and I will call her later" Molly knew AJ was up and she paused at Howie's door "shit...." she took a deep breath and tapped on his door "Come on Howie, vans leave in 15 minutes" Molly walked away quickly before Howie answered the door. She was just getting on the elevator when she saw Howie's door swing open and his head poke out. She pressed the lobby button and willed the doors to close fast.

"Dammit I missed her, I have to talk to her" Howie slammed his door. "Hurry up and send me the damn yearbooks, I have to find out what she meant."

~~**~~

"Get it together Bone....fuck man Howie is interested in her" AJ was fixing his hair and thinking about Molly. He couldn't shake the smell of vanilla that seemed to cling to the wifebeater he had worn last night, and he had decided to wear it that morning to preserve the memories from the previous night. The way her hair fell on his arms and the way her body molded to his seemed to be imprinted in his mind. "Shit...I am in a whole shitload of trouble now." AJ threw down his comb and walked out of the bathroom and gathered his stuff to leave. "How did I let myself fall for her?" AJ turned off the light and locked his suite door.
