Date: Fri, 15 Jan 1999 19:10:25 -0800 (PST) From: CJ Subject: My Night With Howie D. Part 6 **This is a completely fictional story and does not imply that Howie D. is gay (we could only wish). Also, I am really enjoying writing this and I want to give a shout out to a really kewl guy who has inspired me. So this is for you Zaid, thanx and enjoy. My Night With Howie D. by Craig Part 6 It was Christmas morning and I awoke to the sun shining and an aching neck. It took me a minute to realize I was on the couch in my mom's living room and another minute to realize why. Jesse was in my room and thought there were two beds, I just didn't feel comfortable in there. Noticing it was eleven and surprised that no one was awake yet, I went into the kitchen only to discover that they were all awake and waiting for me. My mom was at the stove making my fave, blueberry pancakes. My brother Scott and his girl Beth we setting the table and Jesse and Ysela were making orange juice. It was homey at I missed being around it. We all talked and ate and then went into the living room to open presents. Ysela went and divided them all up and soon the room was filled with mounds of paper and we all were laughing. Sitting on the floor with my family I felt like I had never left. "Mom this was great, I am so glad that I came home for Christmas." I said. "We miss you Craig and you now that whenever you want to, you can come visit us." she responded," I was talking to Jeff and he said that you had until March off from the show?" "Yeah I am free until then, but I am considering scripts and may do another movie." "Well maybe you'll be here for the birth of your nephews then," Scott said. "WHAT!!" Beth stood up and I noticed how big she had gotten. In the year that Iwas gone alot had changed. They were going to get married after the twins were born in February, and Scott was working in our dad's law firm while going to college. Ysela was finishing here sophomore year and skipping ahead to her senior year. So we sat there talking about everyone's lives until about one and then we started to clean up the living room. After that everyone went to their rooms to either sleep or go out and do stuff. I figured that I would go see my old friends whiole they were busy. "Hey Mom," I yelled down the stairs," is my car at the house still or does Dad have it?" "Its at the house but you'll have to get someone to drive you there, I'm busy making the turkey." I was about to ask Scott when Jesse popped up behind me and told me he would take me. So I went to my room (making sure I locked the door) and got dressed. We got in his Jeep and in a half hour were at my moms house in Tucson. Up at the cabin, there was about five feet of snow and it was about twenty degrees, but in Tucson, it was about sixty and with the sun out I could take off my jacket and not be cold. We went in and I went right for the garage and opened the door. The sun streamed in and showed me my car. Cherry red, 1969 Mustang convertible iin mint condition. My dad had rebuilt it when we were kids and on my sixteenth birthday gave it to me. Maybe I should take now to explain my family. My dad is a lawyer and has his own firm, on top of that my mom comes from a very prestigous family so money had never been a concern for us. I went back into the kitchen to grab my hey when Jesse stopped me. "Craig, I really need to talk to you. I know its uncomfortable, and I'll get my bags when I go back, but we need to have a talk first." Sighing, I sat down and took a good look at Jess. About 5'9, with a very slim build and icy blue eyes that peeked out from his black hair. It was easy to see why I had been with him and hard to remember why I had left. "Jess, you don't have to leave. You know your part of the family and thats why Mom invited you. Scott and Sel think of you as a big bro and....well, I still consider you my friend." I said. "Well, thats what we need to talk about, us." "There is no US, Jesse, didn't I make that clear last time. We haven't been US since senior year. I want to be your friend but only as long as you can understand that." I said. "Craig, get over yourself. I did ahwile ago, so why don;t you try to now? What I need to tell you is I am seeing this guy and I want you to meet him. And for the record, we haven't been us since the summer BEFORE senior year." "Yeah, yeah. Well, I am glad that you met a guy and I would love to meet him." "Maybe after New Years when he gets back we can all do something. I can even set YOU up if you want." "Nah, I am seeing someone also, you'll never guess who?" "Oh my, its one of your celebrity friends isn't it?" he asked. "Yeah, its Howie D. of the Backstreet Boys!" "OH MY GAWD!! You bitch!!! You mean that you know the Backstreet Boys and are DOING Howie??" "I know them yes, but I'm not doing Howie. I am in love with Howie." "Is it returned?" Jess asked. "I think so, look at this bracelet." I said and showed him. "What's 'Viva Forever'?" "That song by the Spice Girls y'know. Well, its OUR song." "Sweet, do you still remember OUR song?" "Gawd yes, don't remind me. Shit! I need to call Howie." I went to he phone and dialed up his number. After about ten rings the machine pickd up so I left a quick message letting him now I owuld call later. The I went back to the table and Jess filled me in on this guy. His name was Aaron and they met in class. They were totally in love and yet hadn't had sex yet. Jesse had a strange look when he told me that, but I didn't ask. We talked awhile longer and then I told him I was heading out and would meet up with him at dinner. I went to the garage and started the 'Stang. He purred like a kitten and I was off. I went around town and visted all my friends from high school and finally got back to the cabin at about five. I saw moe cars in the drive and knew that everyone was there. Sure enough I walked in the door and was ambushed by my cousins. We all wrestled until their mom, my aunt, call them off. I got up and hugged her then my grandma. After talking for abit we all sat down and ate. Afterwards, the kids all went off to play video games and we al sat around talking. Everyone had questions about my carrer and who I knew and met. Then Scott asked about the bracelet and I told them about Howie. My sister freaked about my knowing the Backstreet Boys but everyone was kewl with it. What can I say, I have a very supportive family. While they all started talking about teenage idol from their time to ours, I excused myself to go call Howie. After the second ring he picked up. "Dammit Brian I told you to stop, Craig supposed to be calling any minute." "Well I guess I'll try back later," I joked. "CRAIG!! You don't know how happy I am now. I was asleep when you called this morning and wasn't sure if I should have called you house or not, I didn't want to interrup anything. I have waiting all day for your call." "Sorry, but you could have called at anytime, or tried my cell. I miss you SOOO much Howie, I can't wait til New Years to see you, I miss ou too much already." "Me too, but what can we do, we are on different side of the states. But be patient, babe, you'll get what you want okay?" "Okay." "Craig, all I have done today is think of you. How was your Christmas?" "Interesting, my family is kewl and my ex is here." "Jesse? What's he doing there?" "My mom invited him, he;s like one of the family. And good news, he has a boyfriend!!" "Kewl, so what's your family think of us?" "How did you know I would tell them?" "Cause its the first thing I did when I got home and I figure you would too." "Well, I did and they are totally kewl and can't wait to meet you." "Same here, in fact my parents are wanting us to come back after New Years if thats kewl with you?" "Sure, and maybe we can come here after." "Hey what are you going to be doing while your there?" "Hangin' with friend and family, why?" "Just wondering, hey, I gotta get back to the family but I want you to know something." "What?" "I Love You Craig." "I love you too Howie." "Gawd, I don't want to hang up Craig." "Me either, but I guess we have to." "Okay, on three." "1" "2" "3" I hung up and stood there for a minute. I felt really good inside, but felt like crying. Sel came in and asked what was up and I told her and then we went back to the dining room. After a couple hours, everyone left and we cleaned up. finishing we all retired to the living room in front of a blazing fire. Scott and Beth cuddled on the love seat. Jess and my mom sat on the couch and me and Sel sprawled on the floor in front of the fireplace. We sat up for hours drinking hot chocolate and talking about old times. By the time nidnight rolled around only my mom and me were awake. I sat next to her on the couch and we started talking about Howie. "So you love him?" she asked. "Yeah Mom, and its scary. I have never felt this way for someone before. I mean with Jess it was intense emotions, but it was all lust. With Howie, it hurts when we are apart and I anticipate when we'll be back together. Does that make sense?" "Sounds like love to me. So he makes you happy, thats good, thats all I can wish for. Rosie says he's a good kid and treats you right." "MOM!! Your still checking up on me??" I said laughing. "I always will. When you told me you were in love I worried. This is not your typical behavior. I know my kids. Scott is my emotional well, Ysela my dreamer and you were always the thinker and doer. So much like you father. But now, your acting like me. I don't know if I should be happy or sad." "Why's that?" "Love is grand Craig, but it also hurts. Just be carefil and don;t get your heart broken." We hugged and I told her everything that had gone on the past week except for the sex. I was told that I was to bring him home after we saw his parents. Then we started talking about relationships and she brought up Jess. She asked if i had talked to him. I said yes. "So what was your reaction?" "About Aaron? I am happy for him, he's moved on."" "Aaron? Craig I'm talking about AIDS!" "What AIDS?" "He didn't tell you that he is HIV positive?" "NO!" I yelled. "SH! Don't wake everyone. Shit! He told me he was going to tell you." "All we tlaked about was Aaron mom." "I shouldn't have said anything. He's probably waiting for a good time. I see that you dropped the attitude though." "Huh?" "This morning you were keeping major distance and for a minute I thought that was how you were reacting to his news, but then tonight you guys seemed alright." We talk more. She cried and told me how scared she was for Jesse and for me. She didn't want the same thing happening to me. I reassured her that I always used protection and she calmed down. I thought to myself though about the times with Howie that I hadn't, but I pushed that thought out of my mind. After that we went to bed. I went into my room and heard Jesse snoring, so I decided not to talk to him. I stripped and got into my bed. That night I had this horrible nightmare. I was in my old high school walking down the halls and everyone starting running away from me like I had the plague. I looked down at my hands and saw withered stumps and decaying flesh. I saw my family standing by the doors and I ran for them, but as soon as they saw me they ran away screaming. Then Howie appeared and I rushed to his open arms, only to discover he was decaying as well. He looked at me and said,"Its your fault, you were positive and didn't use protection. Now you've killed us both!" Then I started screaming and her took me into his arms and I fell asleep on his bony chest. The next morning I woke up and my sheets were tangled around my feet and I was sweating. The dream was vivid in my mind still and I wanted to forget it. I showered and got dressed. When I went to the kitchen I found Jess at the table and I started to notice just how thin he was getting. He told me everyone had gone out on errands, so I told him I wanted to spend the day with him. We ate and got our stuff together and left. We took my car and on the way to town I called Howie on my cell. The phone only rang twice this time and a woman picked up. "Hello?" she asked. "Hello, this is Craig and I was wondering if Howie is there?" "Craig! We have heard nothing but good things about you from Howie for the last two days. Its great to finally talk to you." "Umm, you to Mrs. Dorough." "No please, call me Paula. Now, Howie is out with his sister right now, but he told me to tell you he would be calling you tonight. And also I want to let you that you are welcome anytime at our home." "Thank you m..I mean Paula. I really look forward to visiting. Umm, I guess I'll let you go now." "Okay, and I'll let Howie know you called." "Thanks." We hung up and I exhaled loudly. Jess asked what was up and I told him. Parents always make me nervous. He laughed and it felt like old times, just the two of us cruising and not a care in the world. But there were. But not this afternoon. We went to the mall and and shopped around a little until the crowds recognized me and we almost got mobbed. But in a move that would make Jeff proud I talked to the manager of Structure and he set up a table and I did autographs for an hour. Then we ate at the Red Robin and after that went to see "The Wedding Singer". After the movie we decided to take a drive and talk. I didn't know if I should ask him or let him tell me. But, now would be the time to find out. "Craig i need to tell you something that I should have told you yesterday." "Go ahead Jess, you know that you can tell me anything." "Well I already know that you now, your mom and me talked this morning. Just let me start from the beginning and let me finish before you ask questions, okay?" "Go on." "Remember after we broke up senior year? OUR crowd turned into YOUR crowd and what friends I had myself were cold because of what happened. So I started spending time at the U of A's library. I found that the bathrooms are the best place to get action. I didn't have you or friends anymore so I lost myself in sex. I'm not blaming you though Craig, I am just saying why I did it. Its my own fault. Soon I was addicted. You were my first and in a perverse way I figure that if I had sex with so many guys it would hurt you. Joke was on me thought because by my nineteenth birthday I started getting REAL sick. I was checked into the hospital with pnemonia and after the doctors did some test they came to me with the news. the killer is the day I found out I was HIV positive is the day you were made "most eligible teen bachelor". My counts weren't too bad considering my sickness and I was precsribed drugs and vitamins. I recovered from the sickness and met Aaron while I was there. He was a volunteer for the hospital and I liked him but after finding out what I had I was afraid to reach out. The doctor set me up with meetings to go to and when went I found Aaron there also. You see, he's positive too. After a lot of fighting on my part, we got together and went on a few dates and started dating. WEe have not had sex, but you know what? I have no need. I am totally happy just being with him. Then I met you again and I wanted to show you the new me, but you took it wrong and blew me off. Aaron was there through that and we have built on all that. And before you ask, I contracted this after you so there is no way you have it. I just want you to know Craig, that you have always been my best friend and I was stupid to do what I did and I hope we can move on from there." I reached over and grabbed his hand. "Jess, YOU will ALWAYS be my best friend. I just wish you would have told me sooner." "Well, I tried to last time, but wasn't able to. So we're kewl again?" he asked. "Yes, I am always here if you need me, just remember that." Then my cell rang and I picked up. It was Sel, and she told me to come home for a surprise. So we headed out that way. We talked more about Aaron and Jess and I had to fight to hold back my tears. I felt like crap and I couldn't make it stop. We were almost to the cabin when my cell rang again. I picked up and it was Howie!! "Hey babe, miss me," he asked. "Desperately!" I said as my tears threatened to spill. "Hey! What's wrong, you sound like your ready to cry." "Later, so what have you been doing all day?" I asked as we pulled up the driveway. "Stuff," he answered. "What kind of stuff?," I asked as we got out of the car and headed for the house. "This stuff," he said. I looked up and there he was on my front porch!! I ran to him and threw my arms around him and we started kissing. I turned and saw my family watching through the window and smiling. I heard Jess come up behind us, so I pulled away from Howie, but kept hold of his hand. "Howie, this is Jesse Marks, my best friend." They shook hands. "Its nice to meet you Jesse, I feel as if I know you already with all that Craig has told me." he said. "Lies! All lies! But, seriously, its great to meet the guy that Craig has fallen for." Jess responded. We went in and found that they were sitting down to dinner. So we joined them and started eating. As we ate Sel kept us all entertained by pplaying twenty million questions with Howie. To his credit he pulled it off beautifully and didn't get annoyed. Scott even statrtd talking to him which is amazing because usually he ascts like the disapproving father figure. My mom meanwhile, just smiled at me and I knew that my family approved. We finished and after being shooed out, I took Howie out to walk. The woods behind the cabin are laced with trails and I knew them all. The set had just set and I knew we had at least a half an hour of light left. As we walked we held hands. We were a little ways from the cabin when Howie stopped and pulled me against him and hugged me tightly. "Okay, what's wrong? Your WAY too quiet and you look like someone had just sucker punched you. Talk to me Craig, I am really worried. Was my coming a bad thing?" "NO! Its not you Howie, I missed you so bad that this is the best Christmas present ever. Its just..." I couldn't finish. Then I looked into those beautiful brown eyes and the tears I had been holding in all afternoon came forth. Howie pulled me closer to him and stroked my hair as I sobbed. In his arms everything felt right and I wanted it to last forever, but I knew I had to talk. As my sobbing subsided, I looked at him and started. "Its not you Howie, its Jess. I found out that he is HIV positive and his cell counts are low and he lost way too much weight and now is getting sick constantly. I am scared Howie, he's my best friend and after all this fighting we finally have made up only for me to find that I am losing him again." "Wow, I have never lost someone before Craig. I don't know what to say. All I can suggest is that now that ya'll have put the past behind you you should just live for the moment and enjoy the time jyou have. I feel bad, even though I just met him, he seems like a pretty cool guy. In fact I am a little jealous, because he knows you better and longer." "There's no need to be jealous, I love YOU. What me and Jess had is gone and we're just friends now." I hugged him tightly and kissed him. At first they were soft gentle kisses, but as our urgency for each other increased they became hotter. Soon our tongues were rolling in each others mouths and our hips were grinding against each other. I slipped my hands under Howies jacket and felt his hot chest through his shirt. He was kneaded my ass cheeks with his hands. We were getting way into each other when we heard someone clear their throat. We jumped apart and saw Scott and Beth standing there. They laughed and I pulled Howie back to me a kissed his blushing cheek. "Hey, sorry to interrupt, but we're heading out now. Moms takin' us to the airport and we just thought we'd come out and say goodbye since we won't see you again til your birthday." We walked back to the house with them and on the way Howie loosened up and once we arrived at the house they were acting like they'd all known each other for years. We got in the house and helped load the bags and said our goodbyes. After they had left, we went into the living room where Jess and Sel already had the fire going. I led Howie to he love seat and we sat and started talking to them. Sel asking Howie about music, Howie asking Sel about school and stuff, and all of us asking Jess about AIDS. We were having a good chat and then Jess dropped the bomb. "So Howie, how serious are you about Craig?" he asked. "Jess, thats uncalled for!" Sel said and slapped him. "Nah its alright, its good that your concerned for Craig. It shows how much ya'll love him. To answer your question Jess, I have only know Craig for a week and I already know that I want to spend the rest of my life with him and try like hell not to make a mistake to fuck it all up." There was silence for a minute and then we all laughed. Howie had affirmed his love and dissed on Jess in jest. We didn't realize how late it was until my Mom came in. She joined us and that is when the stories started. "...and then Craig tells me,"I don't want Scott Mommy, can't we take him back and get a new one?" "..and there we were running down the hall and he runs right into the principal. Obviously the culprit with silly string in his hand what does he do? Sprays the princiapl from head to toe and runs for his car." "...Telling me that there are a pack of monsters under my bed and that if I stepped out they would eat me. I cleard the bed and made it to the door scaring him and Scott downstairs thiniking that someone was in the house." This went on for hours with them laughing at me, but I got my digs in and we all had a good time. It was great, Sel and Jess on the couch, me resting in Howies arms in the love seat and my mom watching us all from the chair. I was relaxed and conted in his arms. Everytime he laughed or talked I could feel his voice vibrate my body. It was at that exact moment that I realize bad I had fallen for him. As the fire died down, so did they conversation. Finally Jess stood up and told us he was going to bed. He was in Scotts room now. Then my mom and sister stood up to go also. "Goodnight you guys, we'll see you in the morning." "Gooodnight Debbie, Sel and thanks for letting me stay." Howie said. "You are more than welcome, and thank you for making my son so happy. If you keep this up we may never let you leave." she responded. We laughed anf then they went up the stairs leaving the two of us alone. I looked to see Howie smiling at me. "Your family is great," he said,"they all care deeply for you and are so much like mine that I feel like I am fitting right in." "You are and its great. Hey you know what?" "What" "I love you Howie." "I love you too Craig." We got up and I took his hand and led him up the stairs, down the hall and into my room. He sat on the bed as I closed the door. I went over and pinned him down while I started to kiss him. I moved down to his neck and started kissing and licking. I puilled off his shirt and started to toy with his hard nipples. I would lick one and pinch the other and then alternate. This was causing him to moan quite a bit, so I moved down his stomach and made my way to his jeans. I undid the button and fly with my teeth and then pulled them off of him. Then I just look at how his boxers were tenting. But before I could do anything he rolled me over and ripped my shirt off. Rubbing his hands up and down my chest and kissing me deeply. He reached down and undid my pants and pulled them off. He looked down and chuckled. "Nu undies huh?" "Nope," I said and yanked his boxers off, and neither do you!" We giggled and began kissing each other again and grinding our dicks against each other. I couldn't stand it any longer, I had to have his hot cock in my mouth. I turned him and grabbed his throbbing cock and went down alll the way to his pubes. He gasped and manuevered me so he could suck mine also. While I bobbed his cock he took mine and started to do the same while toying with my ass. I rewached over and grabbed my lube and a condom from the nightstand. "Howie, I want you to fuck me." "No." "What?" "I'm not going to 'fuck' you, I am going to make love to you." And with that he rolled me onto my back and while he lubed up and put the condom on I pulled my knees to my chest. He leaned into me kissing while thrustiing his cock into my ass. Relaxing myself so he could get his whole lenght in, he slid alll the way in and then I clamped down as he pulled out. He groaned and this intense look of pleasure came over his face. He built up a rythm and soon my bed was shaking and his balls were slapping against my ass cheeks. Then right at the peak of his thrusts, he pulled out. "What's wrong?" I asked. "Nothing, but its your turn." He handed me the lube and a condom. I put on the condom and lubed up his ass. I pulled his leg onto my shoulders and put the head of my cock against his hole. He gasped as I slid in past the ring. He pulled me to him and kissed me as I starting to pump my cock in his tight hole. Building up my rythm I was going great. It felt great sliding in and out of his tight ass and he kept clenching my dick so it felt even more intense. Not able to hold back any longer, I pulled out and shot all overe his chest. Before I even finished, he reached down and started to shoot also. Exhausted, we lay ther and rested. I grabbed a towel and wiped us both off and wrapped my arms around Howie and fell asleep. I began to dream and at first it was alright, I was having the usuals, until they took a total 360 and the next thing I knew, I was in a funeral parlor. I was moving down the aisle and when I looked at the mourners all I could see were shrouded wraiths. I ggot to the casket and saw that Howie was layinng inside! I gasped and started to cry. He looked so peaceful and not at all horrible like my last dream. Then I heard a noise behind me and I turned to see the remaining Backstreeet Boys. Before I could say I word I saw their eyes and knew this was going to take a turn for the worse. They glared at me as they moved forward. "Look what you've done to him!! And to think YOU have the nerve to show up here." Brian screamed. "He trusted you and look what you did!" AJ screamed. Then they moved in and I was backed into the coffin until suddenly I was IN the coffin. Howie was now standing with them and leering at me. They closed tge casket and I started to scream. I woke up and flew into a siting position, pulling my knees to my chest, screaming. I started crying as I heard noised through the house. Howie came flying thorugh the door. "Craig! Whats wrong?" he asked as he wrapped his arms around me. But I was still caught in my nightmare and couldn't answer, I was only vaguely aware of his presence. My mom came running into the room with Jess and Sel hot on her heels. "What's happening? Whats wrong with Craig?" she asked coming to the bed. "I dont know, I was in the bathroom and I heard him scream and when I came in here he was crying and shaking. He won't talk." Howie babbled as my mom hugged me also. At that moment I started to become aware and I buried my face against Howie chest and wrapped my arms around him. "Craig are you okay?" Sel asked. All I could do was nod. My mom saw this and got up. "Come on, we'll let Howie take this, Howie, we'll be in the kitchen okay?" she said as she shooed Sel and Jess out. "We'll be down as soon as he's okay." he said as she shut the door. "What's wrong sweetie? What happened? Your breaking out in a sweat and shivering like crazy." I was sobbing and he wrapped his arms tightly around me and rocked me. "Its okay, I am here and nothing is going to happen to you, I won't let it." That did it. I looked up at him and saw the scared look on his face. He smile and kissed me. "You gonna talk now?" he asked. "Y-yeah, I think s-so. But promise me that you and the guys will never come hunting me." He laughed until he saw the look on my face. "Craig, the guys would never do that, they like you and I would nnever let them hurt you. Why did you say that?" I told him the nightmare and the one from the night before. The whole time he held me tightly and when I finished he kissed me luightly on the lips. "Your okay Craig and your not losing it. They were just dreams. Its your subconciousn working overtime from the knowledge of Jesse being positive. You know your clean and I know that I am, so we are safe. Unless your not telling me something." he said. "No! I am clean and..well, promise you won't laugh." "I promise." he answered. "Other than Jess and you I haven't been with anyone else." I said and turned away from him." In fact, Jess was all oral, your the first guy to, um take me." He was silent then he took my chin in his hand and turned me to face him. He looked into my eyes and I could see the love I felt for him being reflected back into mine. "Craig, I won't laugh becasue that makes what we have even more special. So you see, you have no need to worry. Jess contracted from someone after ya'll were together and I am clean and have always practiced safe." "Except with me. Remember?" I said. "I know, but its okay. But, maybe you should go out there and talk to them. You really worried everyone." "Yeah I know, but I really don't feel up to it right now." I said. "Thats okay, I'll go down there and let them know it was a nightmare and that you want to wait until the morning to talk." he said and got up. While he was downstairs I took a deep breath and wonndered if I was doomed to these nightmares every night. Before I could complete that though Howie came back in and closed the door. Then he got in the bed and took me into his arms and kissed me. "They are all going back to bed. You sure your okay?" he asked. "Yeah, I should be able to sleep now. But, Howie thank you so much for being here for me. This is an embarassing moment for me because I am not one to show my emotions and here I have been for the past half hour crying all over you." "Don't apologize Craig, its good to show emotion. If it wasn't for the fact that you were so shaken, I really enjoy any excuse to hold you." he said and squeezed me. "You don't know how much that means Howie. I love you. And I want this to last for....well as long as it can." "Me too, is it okay if I kill the light? he asked. "Sure." He reached over and turned out the light. The room was dark but I felt safe in Howie's arms. He whispered to me,"I love you Craig Bingham and as long as I am with you, NOTHING is going to hurt you!" Then I fell asleep and slept nightmare free til the morning. To Be Continued? Please send your responses to me, I appreciate them. magik77_1998@yahoo.com
