| Chapter 1 "How did he get so lucky AJ?"Howie's jealousy getting the better of him today. "Come on man. You've been watching them since they started dating,"AJ returned to a game of pinball. "I know. She worships him and he treats her like a decoration." "He's young. He doesn't know how to treat a lady yet. Give him time. Besides, why are you so worried about it?"his eyes never leaving the machine. "I really don't know,"he continued watching Nick and Brian carry on a conversation as Leigh and Marie shared beauty secrets or whatever it is that women talk about but he couldn't help but feel he knew Marie from somewhere maybe even another time. "So what's up with Howie these days?"Marie kept trying to avoid his gaze, like he was always watching her. "That's what I'd like to know. It's weird the way he's always watching you." "I know. It scares me." "Why's that?" "Because I feel like he's reading my mind or something." "What's so weird about that? Sometimes all I have to do is look at Brian and he knows what I'm thinking." "But Nick's my boyfriend and Howie's just a friend. What ever happened to his girlfriend?" "You didn't know about this? She went over the deep end. Became a little too obsessive." "Maybe she picked it up from him,"she joked. "He was torn up. He really did love her." "I'm sorry. I didn't know but you gotta admit it's weird." "You think something's going on between Marie and Howie?"Nick inquired of his friend. "Are you crazy? She worships the ground you walk on." "Yeah, and I don't treat her the way I should sometimes and I can see how at ease they are with each other when he talks to her." "So? Come on man. She'd have some damn nerve hitting on one of your friends." "I've just got this weird feeling there's something there that I don't know about." |
