Chapter Two

She got to the entrance of the bar and met Rich B. “Mary when did you get here?” he asked nervously.

“Just a few minutes ago. Where’s Jon?” she asked.

 “Jon? Um he’s somewhere around here.” Rich told her not knowing what to do.

“Ok do you want to go find him for me?” she asked him but just as she said that her eyes caught something at the bar. She was hoping that she was seeing things but when this couple came up for air then she knew she wasn’t. It was her Jon and some blonde bimbo making out. Rich turned around and saw what she was seeing. Mary thought her legs were going to go out from underneath her. “Rich don’t tell him I was here. Ok. Just don’t tell him I have to go.” she said as she turned around and walked as fast as she could back to the front desk to retrieve her suitcases.

In the meantime Rich ran over to Jon who was downing his Jack and coke, “Jon, Jon!” Rich yelled to him. Annoyed Jon looked over to him and slurring his words, “Richhh this betta be good cause I’m bout to…” Jon was about to say but Rich wouldn’t let him.

“Yeah, yeah stop right there before you regret that. Mary’s here and she saw you with Blondie here.” He told him with a dead serious face.

Jon just sat there stoned face and about sobered up real fast. “What?” he asked Rich nervously.

“You heard me I just bumped into her at the entrance and she’s pissed! Plus she’s using a cane so when she just turned around and headed out she’s not moving too fast.”

 Jon was trying to comprehend everything Rich was saying.  Jumping off of the stool Jon ran to the entrance of the bar. Looking around he saw her talking with someone at the front desk. “I’m sorry Miss I just sent someone upstairs with your baggage. If you just give me a few minutes I’ll send someone up to retrieve them right now.” He told her.

With tears in her eyes “Thank You I appreciate it very much sir.” She said to him.

Not wanting to say anything to her about what he thought she had figured out was going to happen “Why don’t you have a seat over there while you wait.” He told her pointing to the chairs in the reception area.

But she didn’t get that far as Jon came running towards her. “Baby! Baby! Wait!” he yelled as he ran up to her.

“Oh damn.” She said out loud. She looked around and saw the ladies room just behind the desk. She took off as fast as she could and just made it before he could get to her.

He tried to go in there but the desk manager stopped him. “Sir! You cannot go into the Ladies Room.” He told Jon sternly.

“My girlfriend is in there!” Jon explained highly excited.

“Well I’m sorry sir but you’ll have to wait until she comes out.” He told him again. Jon exhaled as he was not a very patient man. He was pacing up and down in front of the door as two women walked in and out but his girl never did.

So he knocked on the door, “Mary, Baby please talk to me. Just talk to me.” He asked her.  Mary was sitting in one of the stalls crying. She didn’t know why, all she knew was that she was.

Here she was scared that he was going to be mad at her for being shot and he was making out with any groupie that came his way. How stupid was she. She got up and went to the sink and splashed water on her face. She knew this wasn’t going to be good. She dried off her face and turned to face the door. She loved him like she never loved any other man before. But hey it had to end sometime right? She could hear some banging coming from the door. She made a confused face as she opened the door and Jon nearly fell into the bathroom.

“Whoa! Hey. You’re finally coming out?” he slurred a little.

She looked at him, “You’re drunk.” She said pissed.

 “Me? Nah ok maybe just a little.” He tried to touch her but she backed off from him. He seemed hurt probably more so because of his condition. “Really?” he asked.

“You’re kidding right? Look I don’t want to get into this right now so if you’ll excuse me?” she said and she tried to get past him but he wouldn’t let her. “Jon move!”

 “No not until we talk.” He told her.

“And I said not now. Later ok but right now I’m tired and want to get some sleep.” She said angrily.

 “Ok but tell me this I’m not this drunk that I don’t see your leg. What happened?” he wanted to know.

 “Long story and again don’t want to get into it. So if you’ll excuse me.” She said as she tried again to move past him but again he wouldn’t let her.

As this was going on the guy’s notice that Jon wasn’t there anymore and asked Rich B. what was going on and he told them all that he knew so they went off in search for him. They saw what was going on and thought they better step in before someone hurt the other and the way it looked Jon was going to hurt her by mistake. He had a good hold on her arm and she was trying to make him let go of her but he was feeling no pain as it was. “Jon you’re hurting me let go!” she loudly said to him. Tico was the first one to get to him and he grabbed his hand and put pressure on it so that he had to let go of her.

 “T that hurts.” He whined.

“It was supposed to you dumbass!” Tico said shaking his head at him.

 The desk clerk walked over “Miss do I need to call the police?”

Mary looked at him and tried not to laugh in his face. That would be just great to see the morning paper ‘JON BON JOVI ARRESTED FOR DOMESTIC ABUSE’ Yeah he’s just love that. “No I’m fine but thank you for your concern. These gentlemen can take care of things from here on. Oh by the way do you have an extra room by any chance?” she asked him.

 “Why yes we have several would you like me to reregister you?” he asked her.

 “Well if you…” she couldn’t finish as Jon cut in. “No! She’s staying with me. What the hell is wrong with you? We can’t talk if you’re in another room.” He said angrily.

“Well I didn’t want to ruin your night with the blonde bimbo I saw you with. You were going hot and heavy with her and you could even get lucky if I don’t share your room.” She said to him snarky.

 Jon stood there exhaling, rolling his eyes and gritting his teeth. “Can we just go up to the room please and take care of this in private?” He asked her really annoyed now.

 “I’m too tired for this right now Jon and I need to change my bandage and get some sleep. I think it would be better if I just get my own room.” She told him again for the hundredth time.

 “And why so you can run out on me in the morning? No way. ‘turning to the desk clerk’ just bring her stuff up to my room.” He told them. Turning to the guys, “I’m sorry but I need her ok.” He said.

 Hurting and too tired to fight with him anymore she said, “I’m too tired to argue anymore. Fine just bring them to his room please.” She finally agreed just to get him off her back. Jon told the guys to go back to the party while he and Mary went back to their room. While all this was going on they didn’t notice any eyes on them the whole time.

They got to the room and the porter put her bags in the bedroom as order by Jon. He tipped him and he left. Mary went to sit on the couch as she put the pillow on one end and took the afghan off the back of the couch. “Where’s my bag?” she asked him coldly.

 Turning to face her, “It’s in the bedroom why?” he asked her confused.

“Because I’d like to get cleaned up and changed.” She told him snarky. Standing up and taking her cane she started for the bedroom. Jon tried to help her but she just gave him a looked that stopped him dead in his tracks. He held up his hands in surrender as she went to get cleaned up. He however went to the minibar and poured himself a drink. He figured he was going to need it seeing it probably was going to be a long night. As she finished she knew his rule when they slept together but seeing that she had no intention of that she put on her t-shirt and shorts and headed back out to the living area where he was seated with his drink in his hand. He looked at her and saw the bandage on her thigh and winced. And she was still using a cane to get around meaning the wound was still hurting the hell out of her so it was a little more serious than she was letting on.  

“I see your still drinking. Don’t you think you had enough?” she asked him.

“No I’ll let you know when I’ve had enough.” He said pissy.

“Fine if you’re going to be that way about it, like I said I’m tired and just want to go to sleep so…” she said as he broke in.

 “So how much does your leg hurt?”

 “Enough and enough with the questions Jon I said I was tried. Just go in the bedroom and sleep it off.” She told him as she was pissed off at him for many reasons now at this point. But before he could say a cute come back the phone rang.

 They both looked at it like it was on fire or something. “Well are you going to answer it or are you just going to let it ring?” she asked him.

“Don’t care I want to discuss what’s going on with us.” He told her not bothering to move.

“You know you’re an ass.” She told him as she went to pick up the phone. “Hello? Hello?” she said twice as no one answered her but she could hear breathing on the other end of the phone. “Look I know there’s someone there so just make yourself known.” She told them as she was very agitated now. “Fine. ‘she hung up and turned to Jon’ your fans have your damn number have they been doing this regularly?” she asked him.

“Occasionally I’ve been getting those kind of phone calls but they’ve been harmless. You know that’s part of the gig.” He said annoyed.

“Yeah, well I’m going to sleep I’ll see you in the morning.” She told him.

He finally agreed and got up from the chair. He downed the rest of his drink and started for the bedroom but when he turned around he noticed that Mary was making herself comfortable on the couch. “What the hell are you doing?” he asked her confused.

Frustrated completely now at him “What does it look like I’m doing JON!” she asked sternly.

“It looks like you’re sleeping on the damn couch? What the hell?” he asked her pissed.

“Well at least you’re not blind. Or stupid. Yes I’m sleeping on the couch.” She agreed with him.  

“No, no, no. We made an agreement that even when we’re mad at each other we would still sleep in the same bed. Or did you forget about that?” he asked her a little hurt.

“No I didn’t forget that Jon but at the time we didn’t add in the fact about oh let’s say kissing bimbo’s or cheating or crap like that.” She told him hurt.

“Ok you want to play it like that fine at least I haven’t been lying to you all these months now have I?” he shot back.

“Lying! You’ve been lying about the damn groupies Jon!” she yelled back to him with tears ready to break thru.

“No I haven’t Baby! But you’ve been lying to me about getting hurt every time you to go help your brothers haven’t you?” he said with his broken heart. He just slammed the door to the bedroom as she just crawled into a ball on the couch. She tried so hard to muffle her crying because she wasn’t about to give him the satisfaction of letting him hear her cry. Something she lea

rned to do when she was with Michael.

The night seemed long and neither of them really got any sleep. Jon basically stared at the ceiling all night. He might have dosed off a couple of times during the night but knowing that she was in the next room didn’t help him nor having a hard on when he woke up didn’t help either. She wasn’t doing any better than he was. She cried herself to sleep after planning out what she was going to do when she woke up in the morning. The only thing trying to get past him. Hopefully he had something to do that he had to leave the room so she could leave. But as she kept waking up herself off and on and rethinking what happened she was getting madder by the minute seeing that it was her that caught him kissing another woman. Finally she fell back to sleep knowing that she was in the right and that she was going to try and leave if he didn’t try and charm her like he usually does. Morning finally came and Jon finally woke and could feel that he still had that damn hard on from last night. He thought if he just ignored it it would just go away but apparently it didn’t want to. He sighed and decided he could go into the bathroom and jerk off or try and seduce his girlfriend. But would she be receptive? He highly doubted it. The bathroom it was.

After showering, shaving and taking care of business he got dressed and went out to the living room where she was still sleeping. He loved to just watch her sleep. She looked so peaceful he hated to disturb her. He knelt down beside her and gently shook her. “Baby wake up, wake up Baby.” He quietly said as she started to stir. “That’s it Baby time to wake up.” He told her as he gently leaned over her to kiss her forehead.

“No too tired just a little longer ok?” she mumbled. Jon smiled she was just as bad as Richie to get up in the morning.

“Baby it’s me Jon wake up.” He said again as she started to open her eyes. Blinking she looked at him and then the reality of last night came flooding back to her. “Morning Baby how did you sleep?” he asked her.

Is he kidding? “Lousy how did you sleep?” she asked with an attitude as she tried to sit up. Jon looked at her knowing that she was still pissed at him.

“Lousy too. I called down to room service I need my coffee so I ordered your tea I hope that was ok?” he asked her as he stood.

 Shaking her head yes, “Yeah that’s fine Thanks.” She told him.

“I also order breakfast so help yourself when it comes.” He said as she just shook her head again. She got up and grabbed her cane and headed to the bathroom.

“Do you need any help?” he asked concerned.

“No I don’t I can handle this just fine Thank You.” She told him without looking at him as she went to the bathroom as there was a knock at the door. Jon took care of the room service as she finished up what she had to do and when she came out Jon had set up the table for a setting for two. And in the middle of the table there were a dozen of red roses. She just stood there staring at them then looked at him as he stood there with a small grin on his face.

 He walked over to her and asked her, “Do you like them? The roses?” She turned to him and she so wanted to jump into his arms but did he really think that this was going to make things better?

“Their beautiful Jon but do think that they’re going to make things all better? Make what I saw last night go away?” she asked him.

 He hung his head. “No I don’t. But I do want you to know that I’ve been telling Doc and all the girls that he’s been throwing at me to go to hell. That I don’t do that anymore and that I have a girlfriend. What you saw last night was the first time that I fucked up Baby I swear. I’m not condoning what I did but I was lonely and I was drunk and I just wanted some human contact that’s it I swear. It wasn’t going to lead to anything else.” He told her being as sincere as possible. Taking her hand in his, “Look I’ve never been this faithful to anyone before you, you know that. I love you with every fiber of my being so please believe me that I’m sorry ok?” he pleaded.

She sighed standing there while holding his hand. She looked into his deep blue eyes that were dark with circles underneath them right now. “You know I love you too right? I don’t think any other guy would have stay with me with all the stuff that we’ve been thru.” She said as tears started to form. Taking his thumb he started to wipe them away.

“There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for you Baby you know that. Now come on let’s sit down and have some breakfast then will talk.” He escorted her to the table so they could eat. Jon did fill her in on what Doc had booked for them in a month. She thought that was great and she was proud of him and the guys. When they finished their breakfast Jon started the conversation they had started before they ate. They talked about what happened last night and he could see the hurt that was still in her eyes. He couldn’t quite remember what he said to her last night so she was glad to remind him of what he said to her. He winced at the words that she threw back at him. “I’m sorry I said those things to you but you did piss me off you know. You’ve been gone for two months and in that time you get shot and never even called to tell me. I know I can be an asshole at times but I think I have the right to know if you get hurt Babe. When were you going to tell me? When I saw the scar on your leg?” He asked her.                                                                                                                  

She looked at him and didn’t know what to say to him because she knew he was right. She bit her lower lip before she started to talk. “No I was just trying to figure out how to tell you that’s all and I know your temper and I just didn’t want to deal with it ok? I just needed some time to figure out what to say to you when you demanded that I stop working for my brothers.” She told him.

Huffing, “What now you think your physic? You don’t know that I would have asked you to do that?” he told her.

Rolling her eyes at him and sneering she said, “Are you kidding me? You’re constantly asking me to give it up. You hate it when I’m away for more than a week at a time and God forbid if I get a sliver during the time I’m working. Jon I don’t want to be away from you but I don’t want to let my brothers down either and I do love what I do. Oh God Sweetie I don’t know what I’m supposed to do.” She explained to him as she put her head in her hands.

He scooted over to her and wrapped his arms around her. “Hey don’t cry ok. We’ll work this out I swear.” He told her kissing her temple.

 “Wh…what about the groupie I saw you with?” she asked him sobbing.

Holding her tight, “I explained that to you Babe she meant nothing to me and it was the biggest mistake of my life. I was just filling a void that well that I thought I needed to fill. I was mistaken. Plus being drunk the way I was didn’t help. But I did know one thing going into that kiss.” He told her.

Looking at him, “What was that?” she sniffed.

 “I knew there was no way in hell I was taking her to my bed. She knew that going in when we started and she was fine with that.” He told her rubbing her back. Putting her head on his shoulder he asked her, “So are we ok?”

 “Do you even understand how I felt when I saw you kissing that girl Jon? What would you have done if you saw me kissing another guy huh?” she asked him.

 He sat there for a second contemplating what he should say to her. He knew what he would have done but should he tell her that he probably would of beat the guy half to death. “I guess we agreed to go for honesty here right?” he grinned nervously at her. She smiled a little bit at him and nodded. “Yeah that’s what I thought. Ok I probably would have hit the bastard.” He told her holding her tight. She started to giggle. Why she didn’t know but she couldn’t stop. He looked at her and then he started. This only last a few minutes but it was what was needed to break the tension between the two of them. He took her chin and brought it to face him and he slowly went in to kiss her softly on her lips. When she didn’t pull away from him he knew everything was going to be ok so he started to kiss her deeper and more passionately. Then he broke away as she looked at him confused as if she did something wrong. But when she realized she didn’t that he had a devilish look in his eyes and that they were so dark blue she knew she was in trouble.

He stood up and picked her up out of her chair and carried her into the bedroom and gently put her on the bed. He then took off his shirt and relieved himself of his sweats. She just laid there looking at him as he stood there before her naked as a jay bird and not feeling one bit uncomfortable about it at all. He was very comfortable about his body. Mary on the other hand was not. But Jon always made her feel like a queen. He helped her off with hers and as he was doing so helped himself to for what he was craving for, for the last two months. He took his time not just for himself but for her as well. He was going to enjoy this and the time that they have together. He took her over the brink more than once and he was so proud of himself. She thought that she was going to pass out several times. No one has ever loved her like that before or given her orgasms like that before. They had made love all morning until they fell asleep in each other’s arms. The guys knew basically to leave them alone for they knew they would get back together somehow as they always did. They knew they were meant for each other because Jon was a different person when she was around. No other girlfriend he ever had made him as happy as was when he was with Mary. Whatever she had they wanted to make sure that it never went away because they like this Jon way more than the other.
