Part 428

Kevin pulled the pillow over his head to block out the sounds coming from the bathroom but he wasn’t successful. Looking over at the other bed, he saw that Howie was still asleep.

"God! How can you sleep through this?" groaned Kevin. He threw his pillow at Howie. "Get up, ‘D’!"

"Leave me the fuck alone," mumbled Howie.

"Damn!" Kevin got up and grabbed a pair of shorts before going into the bathroom to check on Sarah. "Baby, need anything?"

Sarah shook her head only slightly but just enough to cause her to start hurling again. Kevin pulled her hair back as he knelt beside her. God, it was last year about the same time that he had been doing this exact same thing but it was so much nicer this time. The end result definitely had a happy ending.

When Sarah felt better, she leaned back into Kevin’s arms. "Thank you, ‘Boo’."

"How does Howie sleep through this?"

Sarah laughed, "He usually gets up with me and he would have this morning but I figured I could be quieter alone. I didn’t mean to wake you."

"It’s okay. I needed to get up anyway."

Sarah looked at his watch. "At 5:30 in the morning? For what?"

"I need to check our schedule and see what hotel we’re in tonight and make sure I have a suite so Lynne can have her own room. I don’t want to put any pressure on her."

Sarah laughed, "God, you’re hooked! Kevin, you and Lynne will be on the bus from Seattle to Boise with me, Howie, AJ, and Ali."

"SHIT! I forgot about that," groaned Kevin closing his eyes in frustration.

"Why don’t you get dressed, go downstairs and buy her some flowers?"

"Think she would like that?"

"Of course. Help me up, please."

A hand reached down and Sarah looked up into Howie’s sleepy face. "Need a hand, ‘Angel’?"

Sarah smiled, "Thank you, ‘D’." She took his hand and he pulled her up into his arms.

"What finally woke you?" asked Kevin as he stood too.

"Your pillow in my face."

"How can you sleep when your wife is getting sick?"

"I heard her and she would have called me if she needed me."

"Why didn’t you get up when I threw the pillow at you?"

"Why should I? You got up and it doesn’t take two to hold her hair. Come on. I’m going back to bed."

"I’m gonna get dressed and go set up breakfast," grumbled Kevin. "Is eight too early for you two?"

"No, I guess not. Gives me time to make love to my beautiful wife."

Sarah simply rolled her eyes causing Kevin to laugh. "What’s wrong, baby?"

"I just finished hurling my toenails, the thought of food is threatening to make me go again and HE wants to have sex!" said Sarah looking at Howie with a frown.

Howie laughed, "I just wanted to distract you, ‘Angel’. Come on, we can get a couple more hours of sleep before breakfast."

The two climbed back into bed as Kevin got dressed. He grabbed the key card, his cell phone, and baseball cap before starting out the door. He was anxious to get the day started just so he could be with Lynne even though they wouldn’t be alone.

In the hall, Kevin spotted Carlos and motioned for him to join him. Before leaving the floor, Kevin informed Billy of his plans to arrange breakfast for the group in a private dining room.

"You could do that by phone," stated Billy plainly irritated that Kevin was going downstairs where he KNEW fans were camped out.

"I’m trying to give Howie and Sarah some privacy and I know no one else is up."

"Those two can go without sex for one morning."

Kevin laughed, "Come on, Billy. You’re gonna tell me that if you had a wife as sexy as Sarah and you were in love with her as much as Howie is, that YOU would want to pass up a chance to make love to her?"

"Yes."

"Okay, fine. You’re a freaking monk. I’m going to buy flowers for Lynne and I’m taking Carlos. Chill out."
