Chapter 14: I Think I Love Her

David knocked on the front door and Alec pulled the door open.


"You said to stop by so here I am."


They walked to Richie's room. David saw the drinks in their hands and looked around and saw all the booze sitting on a table in the room.


"Damn you guys are partying without me? You know I'm the life of the party. So what are we drinking to?" He grabbed a shot glass full of Jack and held it up.

"Johnny here is a free man." Richie grinned. "It should take them a few days at least before they get back together." Richie laughed. 

"Hell no! Not this time! I'm finished with her for good!" John shouted with confidence.

"Yeah sure. David chuckled. "Like when she caught you kissing that chick behind the Stone Pony.  She dumped your ass and went home with that guy she met. Then you took her back when she came crawling a few days later."

"Not this time. She doesn't cut it for me anymore. I'm moving on to a hotter class of girls."


"Like who, Ashley?" David asked. "You might be making a big mistake with that chick."

"What are you talking about? John questioned.

"She's hung up on Bret and it's only a matter of time before she goes back to him. And she's a virgin and that would be a weak lay at best."

"Shut up Lemma, you don't know what the hell you're talking about. Deal with your own love life and get out of mine."


"I'm just kidding bro. When did you get so serious?"

John rolled his eyes and took another swig of his drink.

They heard loud music and car doors slamming.

"Damn, who is that out front making all that noise?" Richie asked pulling at the blinds.

"I see Erica and Lindsey, I can't tell who the other girls are." David answered.

"Not Lindsey Myers?" John asked swigging his vodka straight.

"The one and only." Richie replied. 

"Isn't that your stalker, John." David laughed.

"Hell yeah, the bitch is crazy."

"And hot." Richie laughed.

"They're knocking, open the damn door." David chuckled.

"Hold up, don't let her in here." John frowned.

"Why not, what's your problem with her?"


"She won't leave me alone. I banged her one time when I was loaded after a show at the Fast Lane. Hell, I don't really even remember it.  She's been in hot pursuit ever since."

"So let her catch you, one night of harmless fun. Who's going to get hurt? You don't have a girlfriend to worry about. You're a free man remember? Now try acting like it." Richie grinned and opened the door.

The girls came in followed by Tico and Alec, with a couple of other girls. Lindsey was already fixated on John. Alec handed her a fake red rose out of Richie's Mom's planter and was hitting on her pretty heavy. But she could not take her eyes off of John, who was keeping his distance away from her.


"Hi Richie, I just wanted to come by and say I'm sorry I surprised you at the wedding." Erica smiled. "I should have warned you, I would be there with Chris."

"It's fine. It all worked out. No harm done." Richie grinned. "What are you girls up to tonight?"

"Nothing much, just out riding around. We bumped into Alec at the gas station and he said your parents were out of town and we should stop by and say hi."

"Okay cool. Yeah they will be back tomorrow."

"Hey Johnny." Lindsey smiled.

"Lindsey." John sighed and drank some more vodka out of his glass without even looking up at her. He walked over to the window.

"I heard you play your new song at the Fast Lane. It sounds really cool."

"Thanks."

"So where's Dot?" She asked.

"I have no idea and I don't care."

"You and her on the outs or something?"

"Yep over and done. John announced as he stood up sliding his jacket on."

She looked at him and her mind began to wander back to the night they slept together. After his show, on an old sofa, in the back room at the Fast Lane. "Oh my God he is the hottest guy I have ever seen in those tight jeans!" She heard in her head. He turned around and she caught a glimpse of his rear end and she thought. "I love that fine ass of his!"

Richie started making mixed drinks and passing them out.

"Come sit by me Johnny." Lindsey patted the old couch in the corner of Richie's room.

"I'm good."

"Do you hate me or something, I try and try to get your attention and you never even seem notice me."

"Oh I noticed you alright. I noticed you calling my house at 3:30 in the morning waking my whole damn family up! I noticed you writing love letters to me all over the paint job on my car with a damn permanent marker! Took me forever to scrub that shit off! I really noticed you, when you told Dot that we slept together. She really wanted to kick my ass and you're damn lucky she didn't kick yours!"


"I'm sorry about that, but you pissed me off when you wouldn't talk to me. I have a lot of feelings for you Johnny."

"No, what you have is a crush, and I told you I'm sorry but I just don't feel the same way about you."

"But we made love. It meant a lot to me. I've always liked you Johnny."

"No Lindsey, I didn't even want to mess around with you that night. I was so drunk, I could barely stand up. You came on to me. You followed me into that room and you took your damn clothes off. I told you not to, remember that?"


"I remember you changing your mind. It was magical when we made love."

"Stop saying that! We didn't make love, we just had sex, I have to be in love to make love. It was two minutes tops and I was only half hard. If you think that was magical, the real thing would blow your damn mind." John took another swig of his vodka.



"I'm up for it, if you want to do it again Johnny."

John sort of choked, while he was drinking. "Oh no!" He coughed. "I can't, I'm seeing somebody."

"That didn't stop you last time. Who is it? You said you didn't care where Dot is."

"I don't. She's a new girl that just moved here. Her name is Ashley and she's the hottest girl I've ever seen and I'm crazy about her."

"Well I don't see her here. Maybe you aren't that important to her. She might be out with another guy right now."

"No she's at home in bed and that's where you should be."

"Do you ever think about me? Even a little Johnny? I think about you all the time."

"Nope, not even a little. I only have one girl on my mind."

"Have you slept with her?"

"That's none of your business." He looked at her with drunken glassy eyes.

"I'll take that as a no!" She giggled. "Are you making her up? Maybe she's not even real."

"Oh she's real alright."

"Richie." She yelled. "Who is Ashley?"

Richie had a pretty good buzz going on. " A smoking hot babe, I went out with the other night."

John thought Richie had a crush on Ashley and the more he drank, the more he was convinced.

"Well I know you're lying if she's dating Richie."

"They just went to a wedding together, it wasn't a big deal." John slurred.

Richie laughed. Oh it was a big deal for me.

John was pretty hammered and his jealous side was coming out.

"What's your problem Richie? Do you seriously have a thing for Ashley?"

"I already told you she's a great girl any guy would be lucky to be with her."

"Yeah and I remember telling you to back the hell off of her!"

Lindsey spoke up to deaf ears. Why are you guys fighting over a girl that isn't even here?"

"You know Johnny, she's a big girl. Ashley doesn't need you to protect her."

"I told you how I feel about her. She's not into you man. She probably thinks about you like a brother or something." John slurred.

"Brother hell." Richie laughed. She didn't think it was her brother she was rubbing that fine ass on when we were dancing!" Richie slurred.

John stood up and swayed a little and dropped his drink on the floor. His eyes were blazing at Richie."I'll kick your fucking ass, man!"


Richie yelled back. "Well come on then!" He balled up hist fist and gave John a a pissed off drunken glare.


Tico got in between them. "Come on guys, cut this shit out! you're best friends! I ain't ever seen the two of you go at it like this!"

John stumbled a little grabbed a glass of vodka off the table and downed it. Then he headed out the door and Tico followed him and stood beside him on the porch.


John dug in his pocket for his Marlboro cigarettes and lit one staring out into the darkness. 

"You ain't trying to leave are you? You're pretty trashed." Tico asked.

"Nah, I ain't going no where. I had to cool down, Richie just pissed me off!" John blew out his smoke and practiced making smoke rings with his mouth.

"I heard about Dot. That's a bunch of bullshit, man."

"I trusted her you know. It was like a punch in the gut."

"I've been there." Tico replied. Don't worry about Richie, he's just pulling your chain. Forget about it."

"I think he really has a thing for her, Tico. He's been giving me all this so called advice about Ashley. It's all bullshit, how she's hung up on Bret and would be too much trouble and I should just enjoy being single."

"I warned you. Beautiful women make men do crazy things. I learned that shit the hard way, when I came to blows with my cousin."

"Dot didn't have every guy she met hitting on her. I didn't have to worry about my friends. She hated everybody, except for Bobby."

"Hey it's the blonde thing. What is that saying? Blondes have more fun. Well sometimes they have it with your friends." Tico laughed. "You sure you didn't get so mad because there might be a grain of truth to what he told you."

"Aww damn it Tico. I know Richie's probably right. I know she'll be trouble for me. I fucking hate she was ever with Bret. I hate the way he looks at her. And the way I've seen her look at him. But I can't help it, I'm fucking crazy about her."

"I hear you. Just watch yourself. You can't go around fighting with everybody over this chick. It makes you look like a jealous dick and that ain't ever been you. I don't ever remember seeing you so jealous over anybody."

"Yeah it's not like me. Thanks Tico."

"No problem."

Lindsay walked out and stood beside Tico. He smiled at her and walked back inside.

"So are you going to stand out here all night."

"Maybe, what's it to you?"

"Why are you so hostile to me?" She asked as she walked toward him.

"I want to make it clear to you. That I am not interested in you." He emphasized.

"That is so rude! I have feelings you know!"

"Yeah okay as long as those feelings ain't for me. You know Richie is single and he said you were hot when he saw you outside."

"Richie's okay but he's not my type."

"You're too young for a type. Isn't it past your bedtime. Shouldn't little girls be home by now?"

"Why do you always act like I'm a little kid, I'm a year younger than you!"

"Because you're a girl and unless you want a bad rep you need to slow the hell down."


"You've got a bad rep. And it doesn't bother you at all. Love em and leave em Johnny. How many girls have you slept with?"

"None that I'm telling you about."

"You know you never kissed me the night we had sex."

"I'm sorry about that. I was so loaded I don't remember a lot about it."

He felt bad for sleeping with her. It meant something to her and he barely remembered it.

"Well if you feel so sorry about it, you could kiss me now."

"Oh no, that will just give you more ideas than you already have."

"Come on Johnny, just one little kiss. That's the least you can do after you wham bam thank you ma'amed me."

"Nope it ain't happening, sorry."

"Well I guess I'll go inside with Alec. He cares about me and he wants to make out with me in the back bedroom."

"No Lindsey, he wants to fuck you and believe me he don't give a shit about you!"

"If you give me one little kiss, I promise to stay away from him."

"I know I will regret this, but come here."


She smiled and moved a little closer to him. He gently kissed her lips. She grabbed him and forced her tongue deep in his mouth. To her surprise he really started kissing her. His tongue crept in her mouth and gently swirled around her tongue. He was drunk and figured he had treated her badly so what was one real kiss going to hurt.

He pulled back and looked at her. "Now you need to move on and find somebody your own age. And stay away from Alec, he's too damn old for you."

"But Johnny, I love you!" She blurted out.

"Damn I knew kissing you would be a mistake! I'm sorry Lindsey, don't waste your time on me. I shouldn't have ever messed with you."

"Why can't you love me Johnny?"

"I told you, I have feelings for somebody else."

"Then why isn't she here with you and why is she dating your best friend? Maybe you need to rethink your feelings for her!"

"It's too late, I think I love her." He turned and walked back inside.

"Damn it!" She yelled.

Inside Alec was totally messed up and getting out of hand with his lighter and a can of hairspray he found in the bathroom. "Damn look at this!" He walked over to David and lit the lighter and sprayed the can and fire shot out.

"Hey stop that shit before you burn my fucking house down man!" Richie yelled.

Tico grabbed the hairspray from him and hid it, under the bed. "Chill out man, you need to calm down."

 David was in full party mode hitting on two friends of Erica's that showed up. Richie began flirting with Erica and trying to figure out why she was really came by. She was smiling at him and giggling at all his jokes. He was missing her more than he wanted to admit.

John was drunk off his ass and the room was spinning a little. "I'm going to go crash in your guest bedroom, okay Richie."

"Well don't get sick or fuck anything up in there, because my Mom will be pissed when she gets back home tomorrow."

"I won't, damn!" He yelled, staggering down the hall. He opened the door and laid on the bed. Still wearing his black leather jacket. He was drunk and kind of out of it. Thoughts of Ashley and Dot swirling in his head. He opened his eyes when he felt a warm body next to him removing his jacket.  He caught a glimpse of long blonde hair in the moonlight that was filtering in through the blinds.

 "Ashley, oh baby. I've missed you. He started kissing her so hot and heavy. "I'm so glad you're here baby." She pushed him down on the bed and straddled him across his skin tight levi's.

"Oh God Ashley, I want you so bad, baby."

She pulled his shirt off and looked down at how handsome he was laying there on the bed.


She started to kiss him again. He was so hot he felt like he was burning up. She licked and sucked on his neck and it hurt like hell. "Ashley you're kinky baby." She sucked harder on his neck and he tried to push her off of him.

"Damn baby, shit!" She had a hold of his neck like a viper and wouldn't let go.

He was in pain, but she was really getting into it, so he let her continue the torture on his neck.

"Make love to me Johnny."

He was with Ashley, but he thought,  "where the fuck did Lindsey's voice just come from?" He wondered as Ashley kissed him. "Now that bitch's voice is stuck in my head." He thought as Ashley began to lick and suck her way down his chest now.

"I want you so bad, Johnny."

"Wait a minute! You never call me Johnny!" He opened his eyes and through the moonlight filtering in the room he saw a naked Lindsey strattled across his lap, trying to unbutton his 501 button fly levi's. They were hard as hell to undo and he had never been more thankful for those four little pain in the ass buttons in his life.

"Get the fuck off me!" He yelled and shoved her off of him, knocking over a lamp.

"What's wrong Johnny? You told me you wanted to make love to me."

"No I wanted to make love to Ashley and in the fucking dark I thought you were her!"

Richie and Erica pulled the door open and turned the lights on. Richie started laughing. Lindsey was naked and scrambling to cover herself. John only had his jeans on, and big bright red hickeys on his neck. "Oh damn I'm sorry, I see you two are busy." Richie chuckled.

"No we ain't doing shit! I laid down and this fucking bitch attacked me!" He yelled. Then he  jumped up and hurried out of the room.

"Get dressed." Erica smiled to Lindsey, as she shut the door and walked back down the hall with Richie.

John was running his hands through his hair. "I told you not to let that crazy bitch in here."

"Calm down! So you got laid, so what?" Richie asked.

"I didn't screw her!" John yelled.

"Yeah sure, tell your neck that!" Richie  laughed.

"What?" He ran to the mirror and staring back at him were some of the nastiest hickeys he had ever seen on his neck. "What the fuck man!" He yelled.

Everybody was laughing.

"Damn Johnny you must of really enjoyed that." David laughed. "You look like you've been attacked by a damn vampire."

"I'm suppose to go see Ashley tomorrow. How the hell am I going to go over there looking like this?"

"Shit if I know. Looks like that shit's spreading. You might need a tetanus shot." Richie laughed.

"You know I should kick your ass! I told you that bitch was crazy and now look at me! Damn hand me a beer!


Lindsey walked out to her car. Erica walked over to Richie. "I need to go. I guess we're leaving. Call me sometime Richie." She smiled.

"Maybe." He stared into her eyes and she turned and walked away.

John finished his beer. "I need to go get my shit." He turned on the light and grabbed his shoes and his crumpled up shirt. He pushed the covers around. "Where's my damn jacket?" He pulled all the covers off and he looked under the bed.  It was nowhere to be found. He walked back into Richie's room.

"That's just great! That crazy bitch stole my damn leather jacket!"

"Are you kidding me?" Richie laughed.

"No it's gone. Fuck!" He yelled.
