"Nothing is wrong Chris, alot of people have differences in opinions, Howie and I will never be friends but I am sure that we can work together, don't worry" Molly was on the phone with Chris, the boys' attorney and business manager. Apparently Howie had called him and told him about the run in with Molly. Chris had wanted to make sure that everything was fine and that nothing was going to interfere with the tour.
"Molly if you have any problems call me" Molly hung up the phone and turned to Skylar and Kevin who were waiting to hear what was said.
"Everything is fine, he just wanted to make sure that Howie and I were not going to kill each other" Molly smiled.
Kevin nudged Skylar "um Molly, about Howie, what exactly is going on between you two, I mean we can all see the tension and we all want to know what is going on?"
"Honestly guys nothing is wrong, like I told Chris, Howie and I don't get along on a personal level but we will be fine...now don't you guys have a date?"
Kevin and Skylar smiled at each other "yes we do...."
"Well get the hell out of here" Molly laughed as Kevin threw Skylar over his shoulder and carried her out of Molly's room.

"No I don't want to see Talented Mr Ripley, I think I am going to go work out and then order some room service and crash" Howie hung up the phone and went to grab his work out wear.

Molly was sweating profusely as she ran on the treadmill. She saw someone enter the hotel's gym from the corner of her eye but she didn't look up. She pressed the up button to increase the incline and she ran faster. The last thing she remebered was seeing stars and then total darkness as her head hit the ground.

"Do you know how absolutely beautiful you are?" Kevin caressed Skylar's face as they looked at each other over the candle that lit their table. Kevin had taken Skylar to a french resteraunt and they were having a wonderful time. The food was delicious and the red wine that they were drinking had helped their amourous state.
"I don’t think you have told me that in the past five minutes" Skylar ran her fingers over Kevin's lips and moaned as he gently sucked them. "Baby, we need to make it a point to do this once in a while so that we can fall in love over and over again."
"Romance seems to be the last thing we have time to do on this tour and I am sorry. I should have made sure that I made time for you. I mean, my God, you took a leave of absence to be with me. Are you sorry you came?" Kevin asked softly, as he admired the way her green eyes sparkled as the candlelight hit them.
"No I am not sorry. I do miss the shelter but it will be still standing when I get back, besides this is a once in a lifetime trip, I mean I am travelling the world with my soul mate, what more can I possibly need?" Skylar brushed her lips gently on Kevin's and as they kissed they both felt renewed.

"Molly...Molly, can you hear me?" Molly came out of the darkness and saw Howie crouched over her with a worried expression.
She touched her head and felt the huge bump that now resided on her forehead "Wwwhat happended?"
"You passed out, one minute you were running and the next your head hit the treadmill..we have to get you to the hospital," Howie picked her up and carried her to the front desk and asked them to call an ambulance.
~~**~~
"She has a nasty bump but nothing looks serious, I do need you to wake her up every hour to make sure that she doesn't lapse into a coma; that is a big danger when head trauma is involved," Howie replayed the doctor's instructions through his head as he laid Molly on the bed and pulled the covers over her. He sipped the coffee that he had ordered from room service and curled up on the couch and watched her sleep.
~~**~~
"Molly...come on Molly just open your eyes and then you can go back to
bed"
Howie smoothed her hair from her forehead and spoke softly to the
sleeping
girl. He smiled when she opened her eyes "Good girl, now you can go back
to
sleep."
