"Hi, mind if I sit here?" Molly looked up from her book and saw Howie standing beside her.
"Sure, how come you aren't sleeping?"
"I don't really know, sometimes I can't sleep with the movement of the bus, but I think I am just worried about Kevin, he is really having a hard time, I cannot even imagine being away from the woman I love and my unborn baby. I mean I want to be there every step of the way when my wife is pregnant, I want to hold her hand and kiss her when we find out we are pregnant, I want to see our baby's first picture, I want to feel our child move but most of all I want to be there, coaching here and wiping her face as she gives birth to the child we created with love." Howie stopped when he realised he was babling "sorry, I get carried away sometimes"
Molly looked at Howie and smiled, she could not belive that the same man who used to revel in making her feel worthless could talk about love and respect with such a passionate tone. "well I think that Nick and I are going to move back on the bus with Kevin to keep him company. I don't want him alone stewing and thinking about Skylar."
Howie knew that what she was proposing made sense but he had been having such fun with her on the bus that he was sorry to see it end "I think that is for the best, AJ won't kill Nick and you can keep an eye on Kevin. I was talking to Kim Ann today and she said that Skylar was doing alright"
"You were talking to Kim Ann and you aren't still blushing, hmmm what got into her?" Molly giggled.
"She had called to talk to you but you were on the phone with Much Music so I talked to her, oh yeah, Kim Ann called and you were supposed to call her back" Howie laughed.
"Thanks..." Molly punched Howie's arm teasingly. "Well I think I am going to head off to bed, I am not in the mood for rehearsal schedules tonight...Nite Howie"
"Nite Molly" Howie watched her walk to through the curtain to the bunk. "I have got to crack her"
~~Howie threw me for a loop tonight. I was sitting on the couch and he sat down beside me, our conversation turned to Skylar and Kevin and he began to speak about his desire to have a wife and a child, he spoke about how he wanted to be with his wife every step of the way while the preganany progressed. I sat there and listened to him and I was shocked. If he was still the jerk that I grew to loathe I could understand and ignore him but he is so totally opposite. He is a man who speaks with passion, he is a man who dreams about everlasting love, he is a man who cares deeply for everybody that he comes into contact with. He is a man that I have come to desire.~~
Molly closed her journal and turned off her tiny light.
"Molly...just boink Howie and get it over with and let us live in peace" Nick mumbled from his bunk.
"Seriously..that is the first decent thing you have said all tour" AJ muttered
"Goodnight Nick, good night ALEXANDER" Molly said with exasperation. "Is it that obvious that Howie and I are attracted to each other" Molly asked herself as she snuggled under the covers and was soon asleep.
Howie sat in the darkness of the bus and thought about Molly and the
comments that he had just overheard his friends say. "Why can't she see
how
much I like her?"
