I woke up the next morning when I smelled something wonderful. When I went down the stairs there was Howie. What the heck was he doing?

"Howie?" I asked unsure if it really was him.

"Hey Nikki, sleep well?" He asked. He could tell I was confused. "Your mom called and said she was going to be gone for the week. She didn't want you to be confused when you woke up so she asked if I could come over. I said ok, and I figured you might be hungry." I still was a little confused but I just smiled and sat down at the counter. He put a plate of food in front of me.

"Thanks." I whispered and took a bite. It was delicious! "Howie this is wonderful!" I praised, I swear I could see him blush.

"Thanks." I continued eating for a second when I realized he wasn't eating.

"Aren't you gonna eat?" I asked. He shook his head. Now I felt awkward. "Why?"

"I'm not hungry."

"Yes you are, don't lie." I smiled at him and made a gesture for him to sit by me. He did, and I made him take a bite. "Isn't that better?" He nodded his head, and for the next 20 minutes I fed him and me. Finally at the last bite I offered to him he took the fork away from me and held it right in front of me. I knew what he was trying to do. So I leaned forward and ate the last bite. He smiled and me and him washed the dishes. After we decided to watch a movie. I went to find a movie while Howie got settled on the couch. I still hadn't changed from my Pj's and didn't even realize it till I was sitting by him.

"Oh my god, I didn't even change!" I suddenly exclaimed. Howie laughed but kept me from leaving by wrapping his arms around me.

"I think you look cute in your pajamas." I really blushed at that. You see, I was wearing a tank top with plaid shorts. He had his arm around my waist and I could feel his other hand close to mine. I decided to see what would happen so I moved my hand closer to his and he held it! He pulled me closer to him and laid my head against his shoulder. Now I was in heaven!
