Part 151
Emerging from their room, Howie and Sarah were in their usual ‘perpetual’ embrace as Becca liked to call it. Their arms were around each other’s waist and they were oblivious to everyone except each other. As they walked down the corridor, they started kissing and didn’t see Nick and Becca waiting for the elevator.
"Ahem…you know, this isn’t the bedroom," said Nick.
Howie and Sarah broke apart laughing and Sarah said, "Can it, blonde boy! You’re just jealous."
"Of what?"
"I’m getting some and you aren’t!"
"Oh, give me a break," said Nick as he rolled his eyes.
Becca smiled as she gave Howie a hug. "Back to normal."
"Normal. What’s normal with the blonde dork around?" smirked Sarah.
Nick grabbed her by the waist pinning her to the wall as he began to tickle her. Sarah shrieked trying to get away from him as he said, "Blonde dork, huh? I’ll give you dork!"
"Stop it, NICK!" laughed Sarah.
Howie was laughing watching the two horsing around but he said, "Nick, be careful with her. She IS pregnant, you know."
Nick let her go and that’s when he and Becca both saw the hospital band on her wrist along with the bruise on the back of her hand from where the IV had been.
"What happened last night?" asked Nick as the two couples got on the elevator.
"A lot," smiled Howie as he wrapped his arms around Sarah pulling
her tight against his chest. "But nothing you need to hear about."
"Howie," said Becca. "Don’t hide anything from us."
Attempting to look as innocent as possible, Howie said, "I don’t know what you’re talking about."
"Fine. Don’t answer," said Becca. "Sarah?"
Sarah laughed. "It wasn’t anything serious. I got dehydrated from the show and then hurling for a good ten minutes afterwards. They gave me some fluids, did an ultra sound, and something to help me sleep. I was in and out in…what, 2 ½ hours."
"She was just about asleep by the time we got here and she just woke up about 15 minutes ago," added Howie.
Stepping off the elevator, the couples were met by Billy and Raoul and Becca let out a groan. "You AGAIN?" snarked Becca to Billy. "I swear, you’re becoming my WORST nightmare."
Billy started to say something and Sarah interceded, "More like you’re HIS nightmare. Come on…just ignore him and let’s have fun."
Billy and Raoul led the way to the restaurant where the hostess seated them at an out-of-the-way booth. The two couples spent the lunch talking about the show…actually filling Sarah and Howie in on what they had missed…and making plans for the rest of their stay in Baton Rouge.
It had been decided that since it was raining and messy outside that they would just hang out at the hotel for the afternoon. It was Sarah and Howie’s way of getting Becca to relax and Nick and Becca fell for it.
On the way up to the room, Sarah leaned against Howie as she said, "Bec, I need to work on the websites. Think you could give me a hand?"
"Sure."
Howie asked, "Gonna read any fan fics today?"
Sarah laughed as Becca blushed. "Never know what Becky might have sent in. Why don’t we check the lists first…see what the guys are up to these days."
"So, do these lists KNOW who you two are?" asked Nick.
Becca said, "Hell no…I’m NOT about to tell them who I am. I don’t want a ton of emails asking me about you and what you’re like in bed."
Sarah laughed, "On the lists, I’ve had a couple people figure out who I am."
"Which lists?" asked Becca.
"The ones for Howie. You aren’t on them. They’ve seen me at ‘Tabu’ and around Orlando. The ones at the On-Line Fan club know me when I go into the chat room."
When they reached the rooms, Nick said, "We’ll be here in a few minutes. I want to go get the video game stuff."
Sarah teased, "Can’t you do that alone?"
"No," answered Nick matter-of-factly.
In the room, Howie took Sarah in his arms and kissed her soundly. "God…I love you!"
Sarah ran her hands down his chest to his crotch feeling him starting to get hard and said, "You keep THIS up, Mr. Dorough, and that ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign is going back up."
"Not a bad idea," he whispered against her neck. He ran his hands down her body to her ass and pulled her close. "We haven’t made up yet."
Sarah groaned, "Tell me again….why are we hanging out with Becca and the blonde wonder all afternoon?"
Howie laughed, "To make sure Becca relaxes. Go get the computer, Angel, before I lose my self-control."
Sarah had to go to the bedroom to get the laptop but returned quickly and started setting it up. She chose to put it on the coffee table in front of the couch so Becca could sit and prop her feet up while they looked at the messages.
As she was logging onto the internet, Howie asked, "So, how many lists are you on anyway?"
"I don’t know…there’s one for AJ, three that are for fan fics, two for you, and four for Kevin."
"WHAT? FOUR FOR KEVIN AND ONLY TWO FOR ME?"
"Don’t get so damn jealous! Jeeez….just cuz they have Kevin’s name on them doesn’t mean it’s STRICTLY for Kevin. There’s only ONE list that discusses just one of you and that’s one of yours."
"Well, that’s better…I think. When was the last time you checked your messages?"
"Before we went to Hawaii."
Howie sat down behind Sarah on the couch with her between his legs. He moved up so that he could look over her shoulder, his arms around her and his hands resting on her stomach, as she started going through her personal mail. There were a couple from her nieces, one from Pollyanna, one from Howie’s mom and the rest were business. Together, they answered each of them before Howie had to make some phone calls to the club.
