Part 334
The four guys made their way downstairs, each in various stages of being ready for their day but the smell of fresh coffee and bacon frying had tempted them. They knew that a wonderful breakfast awaited them.
Going down the steps, AJ asked, "How long has Sarah been up?"
"I’m not sure. She fell asleep fairly easily but when I woke up, she was gone."
"It’s been a while because I didn’t have any bacon in the house," said Kevin.
"Howie, you guys are gonna have to live closer to me," said Brian.
"Why’s that?" asked Howie laughing.
"She’s gotta fix breakfast for me every morning. God…she makes a killer breakfast."
"Wonder what she’s fixing?" pondered AJ.
As they started for the kitchen, they heard Sarah singing. The door was open so they could watch.
Sarah had her headphones on as she danced and sang while fixing breakfast. "Baby, never have I ever wanted anyone like I want you, babe / Come and let me show you jus how much I feel inside, I got so much love / Oh baby, when I get near you, ooh, I can’t control what I’m feeling, baby / I got so much love to give you that I would probably want you all the time / Carino, carino, carino, carino / I gotta have your love, carino / Need to feel your touch…."
Howie had moved behind her and as she sang the words of needing to feel his touch, he wrapped his arms around her moving with her. His presence didn’t startle her, it was as if she knew he was there, and she put her hands on his arms dancing with him. They were good together and it showed in the way they naturally moved together…perfect in every way.
When the song was over, Sarah turned in his arms and put hers around his neck. Running her fingers through his hair, she pulled him to her kissing him passionately. Her tongue demanded his attention and he gave it to her eagerly. As they kissed, Howie’s hands ran over her holding her close.
Pulling out of the kiss, Sarah ran her hands down his chest and rested her forehead against his lips. He reached up to move her headphones as she whispered, "Good morning, ‘D’."
"’Morning, Angel. Listening to J-Lo?"
"Yeah," she grinned. "Feeling Latin today."
"You looked damned sexy dancing, ‘Tigger’."
Sarah had been oblivious to the other three and jumped when AJ spoke. "How long have you three been there?"
Howie laughed, "They came down with me, Angel."
"Moving pretty good for a pregnant woman," teased Kevin as he poured himself a cup of coffee.
"Thanks, Kevin," blushed Sarah. "Breakfast is almost ready. I’ve fixed each of you your favorite breakfast."
"You’ve been busy this morning," said AJ as he grabbed the plate Sarah handed him first.
"Having a problem sleeping, baby?" questioned Kevin with a touch of concern in his voice.
"Not really," answered Sarah seeing the look of concern on Howie’s face too. "Just couldn’t sleep."
"I am SOOOOOO glad you’re here," gushed Brian as he took his plate.
"There’s fresh orange juice too, Bri," smiled Sarah.
Kevin took his plate, "You’re gonna spoil us, baby. This looks wonderful."
"Thanks, ‘Boo"."
Howie gave Sarah a kiss, "It does look wonderful, Angel. Thank you."
"You’re welcome, all of you. Enjoy," smiled Sarah watching the four men eating as if they were starved. "I’m going to get a shower and get ready."
Looking up with a mouthful of food, Howie asked, "What about you, Angel? Aren’t you gonna eat?"
"I ate while I was fixing your breakfast," she answered as she headed out the door.
AJ shook his head, "She’s amazing."
"Howie, how much sleep has she had?" asked Kevin.
"Not enough," answered Howie reluctantly.
"Was she covering?" asked Brian. "Is she really excited or did she have a nightmare?"
Taking a sip of his juice, Howie shook his head, "She usually wakes me when she has a nightmare so, yeah, I think it’s just that she’s excited. I’ll talk to her before we go to the studio."
"When are you going to see Kellie?" asked Brian.
The mood turned somber as Howie said, "I thought we’d go before we go to the studio. Guys, Sarah wants to donate the first month’s sales of her CD to Kellie and I think its a good idea."
"That’s cool," said Kevin. "I’ve got a couple checks for you to take to Kellie too. One from our ticket sales in Toronto and one from the crew."
"Why don’t we all go?" suggested Brian.
They all looked at each other and AJ said, "Its an idea."
"A good one too," said Howie. "I’m sure Kellie would appreciate it and I know I would. I’m not really looking forward to dealing with Sarah alone after the visit."
"We’ll do it then," said Kevin. "Is Sarah nervous about seeing Kellie?"
"I don’t know. For once, I can’t read her mood. She’s excited about the CD and the video and I think she’s really trying to focus on that rather than seeing Kellie. I know she’s anxious to see the baby."
"You know, we should probably call Nick…see if he wants to join us. Danny did work on his lifter," said Brian.
"Good idea," said Kevin.
When the guys were done with breakfast, Kevin cleaned the kitchen, Brian went to call Nick, Howie went to check on Sarah, and AJ went to finish getting ready for the day.
