| "It was just an afternoon tryst Howie. Do you really think she loves you? For all we know, she's been playing both of for the fool all this time." "You okay?"AJ noticed some of the color returning to Maria's face. "I think so." "If it helps you sleep at night,"He turned to check on Maria and Nick used his size against Howie as his arm wrapped around Howie's neck leaving him struggling for his last breaths. "Nooo!"Maria shrieked."Let him go! If you take him you may as well finish me off too." "What are you talking about?" "I don't know but I do know that you took him from me once and I'm not gonna let it happen again." She noticed Kevin coming up behind the two as he gradually approached quickly seizing Nick's control from Howie. Howie stumbled to the floor gasping for air as Maria quickly rushed to his side. Once he regained his breathing, she caught his gaze."What?" "Are you nuts Nick?"Brian had him settled on the opposite side of the room. "I love her." "But she doesn't love you. That doesn't mean you should kill her or even him for that matter." "I don't know what I was thinking Bri. It was like I was supposed to do it or something." "And maybe they're supposed to be together. Can't you see? He knew something wasn't right and that's why he was there to rescue her. Who knows what kind of power love really holds. You just know you'd do anything for that other human life." Howie pulled her to himself and held onto her as though she might let go."Are you okay?" "I'm fine. You?" "Now that you're here, yes. Don't ever leave me again,"not knowing where it came from but knew it was the right thing to say. "Not in this lifetime mister." Who knows what really brings two people together in a lifetime. But somehow at the right place and the right time we manage to find that love and make it right and in their case; the second time around. THE END |
