Abdullah's here, finally. Micheal and Martha aren't but they will be enjoy. I want to got to bed.
Howl spent what seemed forever in the bathroom. His muttering soon turned into singing and Calcifer promptly disappeared up the chimney. Morgan played with his wooden blocks and Sophie cooked. Sophie went upstairs to change but Howl was in bathroom when he got down. Calcifer had returned looking pleased,
"The guests are arriving, if Howl doesn't hurry up they'll catch him in his towel!" he crackled gleefully.
Sophie snorted. At that moment Howl did appear, he was wearing a long purple and gold gown with beautiful, shiny, black boots with silver fastenings, his hair was black, thick and wavy, his shirt a crisp white. He looked as if nothing had happened before he had entered the bathroom, but that often happened. It seemed that washing and enchanting himself made him forget all bad in the world. He did a twirl, his long coat tails spinning. Sophie snorted but even she had to admit he looked extremely handsome.
Calcifer did not agree it seemed, he rolled around in the air laughing. Howl ignored him making it obvious that he had not forgotten the table incident and was taking it out on Calcifer.
"What do you think" he said turning to Sophie, he bowed politely.
"I think it is absolutely ridiculous!" she replied laughing. Howl gracefully swung Sophie round and kissed her on the nose. They fell into a laughing embrace. Calcifer went over to Morgan and started mimicking howl swinging a long fiery cape round then swinging the air round. Morgan giggled. Howl gave Sophie a big kiss, and then went over to Morgan picking him up and carrying him snottily to his wooden high chair. He completely ignored Calcifer's eccentric pantomime. Sophie walked over too, Calcifer looked ready to kill; he hated Howl ignoring him though he tried not to let it show but sometimes it just came out.
The Kingsbury doorbell rang and Howl sailed majestically to the door, Sophie shook her head, Calcifer adjusted his bowtie, and Morgan banged his spoon on the table. Howl opened the door, outside stood Abdullah with Flower clutching his arm. Abdullah was wearing a red and gold suit, though not as fancy as any of Howl's thought Sophie as she stood gingerly behind the mass of purple and gold cloth that was her husband, but it flattered Abdullah. His hair was even thicker than Howl's though a little less raven black. This seemed to please Howl a greet deal; he was smiling even more than after he left the bathroom as he greeted Abdullah. Flower was heavily pregnant but no less beautiful; her dress was green and looked very good with her long, black hair that lay loose down her back. She held Abdullah tightly for support. Sophie felt her own swollen stomach, though not half as big as flower's it was beginning to show.
"Howl let them in, it's freezing out there!" Sophie said, "Hello Abdullah, Flower. Nice to see you again"
"It is always a pleasure to meet with you, friendliest of former felines." joked Abdullah, as he helped Flower into a chair.
"Oh, Sophie it smells delicious!" Flower exclaimed. Sophie smiled. Calcifer flew over to Abdullah and quickly tried to grab his attention before Howl, who was seating himself majestically at the head of the long table. A long stream of complements and flattering was heard from Abdullah during the conversation with Calcifer. Sophie checked the roast lamb and then returned to the table to engage Flower in conversation.
"He looks just like his father!" exclaimed Flower as she looked over at Morgan who was playing with a large ring on Howl's finger. Howl was looking rather dejected and trying to grab Abdullah's attention without speaking to Calcifer.
"That's not the only thing they have in common" said Sophie giving Howl a stare which she hoped he would interpret to mean 'stop being such a fool and stop taking it out on Calcifer!' Howl looked her way and scowled meaning he had got the message, but was choosing to ignore it. He finally got Abdullah's attention and turned to answer Abdullah' question. At that moment the doorbell rang again.
So what do you think? I rushed a bit, but I think its OK. Please review and cheer because this is the first time I have made it to three chapters. Again sorry about the grammar.
