She looked so beautiful. He grabbed his shirt in his hand and went across the hall to the bathroom. He relieved himself and tried to tame his wild morning hair.
He was starving so he went downstairs looking for something to eat.
"There the jailbird is!" Richie laughed.
"What are you doing up?"
"I never went to bed! Your friend Tracy kept me up all night."
"The corvette girl?" John asked.
"Yeah the hot blonde, she came here all liquored up looking for you, but since you already had a hot blonde, I took up the slack for you! You're welcome." He chuckled.
"She wasn't looking for me! I didn't tell that girl to come here!"
"Well she's got the hots for you Johnny."
"Well I got my hands full with the blonde upstairs."
"How did that go? Another date with the lotion bottle again?" Richie laughed.
John just grinned.
"Wait a minute! You got lucky last night didn't you? You've got that I got laid look all over your damn happy face!" Richie chuckled.
Jack walked around the corner. He had been working out in his weight room and still had his gloves on from hitting the punching bag. "Did I hear that right Johnny got lucky last night?"
"Shut up! She could wake up any minute." John tried to hush them up.
"Come on buddy, tell us all about it!" Jack laughed. "We want some details!"
"There's nothing to tell!"
"You are lying! You are fucking lying! Jack punched his arm lightly, still wearing the gloves.
"Come on, you want a piece of me?" John laughed and jumped around throwing some light fake punches and a couple kicks at Jack.
"Damn Johnny is a stud! You got done what Bret couldn't do! You are the man!" Richie grinned.
"Man stop! I'm serious, she'll be pissed if she hears you."
"Okay but just admit it. She gave it up to you!" Jack grinned. "You know we'll know when we watch her walk out of here!"
"Sure will!" Richie agreed. "Or can she walk this morning?" Richie laughed. "On a scale, Johnny 1-10, what was she?"
"Nope I ain't doing this shit!"
"Well admit it then!" Jack demanded.
"Okay, yeah we did it, but it ain't what you two think. I wasn't just trying to nail her. I really care about her."
"Sure you do Johnny. Last night anyway." Jack smiled.
"I'm serious cut the shit before she comes down here!" John was really getting annoyed.
"Do the scale and we'll stop!" Jack grinned.
"Okay she was a perfect fucking ten! Are you happy now?"
"Damn the highest I ever remember you giving a girl was that waitress from the Pony, a six." Richie sat down with a smirk on his face.
"Seven and she was a stripper at the Candy Club." John corrected him.
"Well damn, what was so good about this girl?" Jack looked at John.
"No I ain't telling you dumbasses shit!" John hollered.
"Well just let me know when you're done with her. I'll take a crack at her and see if I can find out for myself!" Jack grinned taking his gloves off.
"I ain't stepping aside and you'll never know! Now drop it!" John was developing a harsh tone.
"That Tracy girl was in here last night drunk off her ass calling your name. I'm surprised you two didn't hear her, all the way upstairs!" Richie laughed.
"Is she still here?"
"Nope she got sick in the pool house and her friend took her home this morning."
"Good. I ain't wanting any bullshit today. You got any food I'm starving."
"Come on, we'll cook something."
David and Alec woke up in deck chairs beside the pool.
"Damn my neck hurts." David groaned trying to straighten up.
"Well my back is on fire." Alec whined standing up and wondering where the hell his other boot was.
"Serves your dumbass right for falling off that damn trellis last night! I told you to wait for me to get off of it first."
"It was only a few feet I was fine. We've got to watch that tape later." Alec lit a cigarette.
"Where is it?" David asked
"Don't you have it?"
"Hell no, I ain't got it!"
"Oh shit David, what the fuck did we do with it?"
"We didn't do shit with it! You had it!"
"Just let me think. I remember taking it out of the camera in the living room."
"Well get your ass up before somebody finds the damn thing!"
They walked inside and found the tape, laying on the coffee table, right in front of Richie and John.
"Damn Alec why are you only wearing one boot!" John laughed.
"I can't find the damn thing! I hope all you assholes enjoyed sleeping in the beds last night! We slept out on the damn pool chairs!" Alec hissed rubbing his back!"
"I know I did." John smiled." Thinking about the great night he had with Ashley.
"You could have slept on the couch!" Jack commented.
John propped his foot up on the table and kicked the tape. "What's that?"
"I don't know where it came from?" Jack replied.
John picked it up.
Alec began to sweat he had to get the damn tape away from them before one of these assholes decided to play it.
"It's mine!" He yelled excitedly. "Lydia, the girl from last night gave it to me. It's just got beach landscapes and shit on it. I thought it was cool."
"Here you go. The way you yelled out, I thought it had a hot piece of ass or something on it!" John laughed.
Alec grinned and thought, "if you only knew, Johnny boy?"
David was grinning but he felt so guilty. He was drunk last night and now he wondered if it wasn't a mistake to get up on the roof and fuck with John like this. "He really will fucking kill us if he finds out!" He thought.
John wanted to get back up to Ashley.
"See you bums later, I got a hot chick upstairs dreaming about me." John jumped up and ran up the stairs. He entered the room quietly. He laid down next to her, still peacefully sleeping. "God she's beautiful. I love you Ashley." He thought to himself as he snuggled up next to her and drifted back off to sleep.
John woke up and Ashley was gone. He looked around the room and she wasn't there. He went across the hall and the door was closed. So he waited for her.
The door opened.
He smiled. "Good morning baby."
She smiled back. "Good morning John."
"I was worried when I woke up and you were gone."
"I'm right here."
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"Yeah, I'm a little sore this morning, but I'll be okay."
"I'm sorry. I wish you weren't hurting baby."
He pulled her into his arms and hugged her. "I'm so glad last night happened Ash. I love you so much and you don't know what it means to me that you let me be your first."
"I'm glad too. I just feel like I love you so much more today."
"Can I get you anything? Do you need to lay down?"
"No I had some tylenol in my purse. I am kinda hungry though."
"Jack made some breakfast earlier we can go check and see what's left."
"Okay."
They walked downstairs holding hands.
The house had cleared out.
They went in the kitchen and all the breakfast was gone. So they cooked some eggs and toast.
"Do you want to go to the beach?" John asked her while putting his dish in the sink.
"Yeah I'd love too."
"I wonder where everybody went. Let's go see if their cars are still here."
They stepped out front. Richie and the guys were getting out of Richie's car.
"You finally wake back up jailbird?" Richie laughed.
"Is that going to be my new nickname or something?" John asked hoping the hell not.
"It fits so maybe." Richie looked at Ashley. "Hey darlin, how are you doing this morning?"
"I'm fine. I slept so good on that big bed last night."
"You must of been exhausted." Jack snickered.
"Out of breath." David laughed.
"Just ignore them baby, they are just messing with you."
"Yeah but we have to leave about three. We've got to go somewhere."
"Where are we going?" Ashley asked.
"It's my Grandma's birthday and I want to go home and get ready and pick up my Harley. She's never been on a motorcycle and I want to take her for a ride today."
"Oh that is so sweet John."
"And I want her to meet you."
"Damn you're introducing her to Grandma Ruth, this must be serious." Richie chuckled. "Tell her I said happy birthday and I'll give her a big ole kiss when I see her." Richie laughed.
"I'll tell her, it will make her day. I think she has a crush on you Richie." John laughed.
"She's a sweet old lady. I've got a little one on her too." Richie grinned.
John looked at Ashley. "Let me go put some shorts on and we can head to the beach."
"Okay."
They all walked back inside to get ready.
John and Ashley changed clothes and went out the back door. They waited out by the pool for the guys to show up.
"There's alot of people out here already." David announced looking around at the girl in bikinis situation.
"Damn Richie, look at those two."
"Already spotted them." Richie grinned.
"You're looking good out here in your cutoff shorts, Mr. Bongiovi. I might have to knock some of these beach bunnies off of you!" Ashley smiled.
"Oh they're not worried about me. They've got Tico in his speedo! He laughed.
"Haha laugh it up but these beach babes love my speedo." Tico chuckled.
"You look great Tico." Ashley smiled.
John took his shirt off and handed it to Ashley. "What about me baby?"
"Damn you're fine! I love a man with hair on his chest!" She giggled.
"Thanks baby. Are you going to swim?"
"I don't think so, but you can if you want to. I'll just get my feet wet."
They were standing in the water when they heard someone yelling for Johnny.
"Johnny!"
John looked up. "Who is that?"
Richie snickered. "It's Tracy."
"Hi Johnny. I was looking for you last night. Where were you?"
John looked at Ashley's face and she was not liking this one bit.
"I was with my girlfriend, this is Ashley."
"Ashley this is Tracy."
"Hey nice to meet you." Ashley said it but she sure didn't mean it.
"You too sweetie."
"Wow, Johnny have you been working out?"
Tracy reached up and grabbed John's muscle and squeezed it.
The guys started laughing under their breath.
"Oh shit! Look out we might have a cat fight!" David laughed.
Tracy brushed up against John's side in her bathing suit. And this really pissed Ashley off.
She flung John's shirt back at him. "Here you're starting to burn, put this back on!" She snapped giving Tracy a dirty look.
John smiled. He knew she was jealous, and he kind of liked it. He put the shirt back on. But Tracy didn't take a hint. She moved over closer to him and put her hand up on his shoulder.
" I heard Van Halen is coming in a couple of weeks are you guys going?"
"I'm taking Ashley. She loves Van Halen."
"Yep I sure do!"
The guys were having a ball watching this unfold and they were hoping these two girls would end up fighting and maybe one or both of their tops would somehow come off.
Ashley was growing tired of this. I need to get some sun. She unbuttoned her top and took it off and started sliding her shorts down. She had a few assets of her own.
The guys just stood there staring at her. "Holy hell, Johnny is one lucky fucker!" Richie grinned. And the guys all agreed.
"Johnny can you put this suntan oil on me?"
"Yeah baby I can."
John rubbed her down good with it. And Tracy started to take a hint and began flirting with Richie.
But John noticed a lot of eyes on Ashley and he wasn't liking it very much.
"Ashley."
"Yeah."
"Baby can you put your clothes back on?"
"Why?"
"Look around. All these fucking guys around here, are gawking at you! And either you are getting dressed or I'm going back to jail!"
She smiled. "Are you serious?"
"Hell yes!"
"Okay, I will." She put her clothes back on and they walked out a little in the water together.
"Thanks. I just don't want anybody gawking at your hot body baby!"
"I don't want any of these loose whores gawking at yours either!" She giggled.
"We need to go get ready to go to my Grandma's."
"Okay."
"Let's go."
"Hold up, I want to do something."
"What?"
"You'll see."
John started writing in the sand. He knew it was corny and the guys would make merciless fun of him, but right now he didn't care.
"Aww I love it John. Thank you."
"Now we got to go."
"Okay."
"Jack thanks man. We're heading out."
"Glad you could make it. I hope you had a good time, but I know you did!"
John smiled. "Oh I sure did!"
"See you up at the Fast Lane tomorrow."
"We'll be there."
Ashley and John walked out to the Mustang
and drove home to get ready.
Nobody was home at John's. He figured they were gone to buy his Grandma's present. He went upstairs and showered and got dressed. He cranked up the Harley and drove over to Ashley's.
She heard him and hurried outside. "Does this look okay?"
"Yeah baby you look hot."
"John, I'm meeting your Grandmother. I'm not really going for hot!" She giggled.
"Well what are you going for?"
"Sweet and innocent."
"Not after last night you ain't." He chuckled.
"John!" She slapped him on his arm.
"Let's go, we've got to stop and buy my Grandma something before we go there.
"Okay."
She climbed on and held his waist tight. She loved riding on the motorcycle with him.
John stopped at a store and they went inside to buy something for his Grandma.
"I ain't got much money with me. What can I get her?"
"Get her a card and maybe a balloon. Will this balloon fit in the one of the saddle bags on the motorcycle?"
"Yeah, it will fit."
"Aww look three loose roses. Do you have enough to buy these?"
"Yeah I think I do." John dug in his pocket.
"Okay, she'll like this." He smiled.
"I got to use the bathroom I'll meet you outside. Okay?" She lightly smiled.
"Yeah."
John went outside and put the stuff in the saddle bags and propped himself on the bike waiting for her.
She came out digging in her purse and grabbed a pen. "Here sign the card."
He sat it on the seat and signed it.
"Oh John, you didn't have to sign my name, she doesn't even know me."
"Well she will and she's going to love you."
"I hope so."
"Let's go. I'm sure my parents are already there and probably think I forgot about it."
"Okay."
They drove a little ways to Fords, New Jersey.
They pulled up and everybody was already there and standing outside.
"Johnny!" His Grandma smiled. "I thought you forgot about me!"
"No way Grandma! I got you a little bit of stuff. I wish I could have bought you more and I want you to meet somebody."
"Grandma Ruth, this is my girlfriend, Ashley. John smiled. "Ashley this is my favorite Grandmother, Grandma Ruth."
"Hey It's so nice to meet you." Ashley smiled at her.
"You too dear. Johnny has told me so much about you?"
"Really?"
"Yes he has. He is usually so secretive about the girls he dates. You sure are a pretty one."
"Oh thank you so much. Happy Birthday."
"Thank you dear."
"Grandma here is your card and flowers. And I picked this balloon out for you. I also want to take you for a spin on my new bike."
"I don't know Johnny. I've never ridden on one. It's a beautiful motorcycle. And you won it in a card game?"
"I sure did. Ashley was with me that night. I'm always lucky when I'm with her." He smiled looking over at Ashley.
"Now come on let's go for a ride."
"But what if we crash or it falls over?"
"I'll make sure we don't crash. And it won't fall over. Come on trust me Grandma. I won't let anything happen to you."
Ashley handed her the helmet she had been wearing and she put it on.
"John you be really careful with your Grandmother on the back. Don't go too fast!" Carol instructed.
John helped her climb on and he cranked it up and started slowly driving away.
Ashley was left there standing with his parents.
"Johnny took off last night? Was he with you?" Carol asked.
"Yes mam he was."
"I don't really like Johnny gallivanting all across the countryside doing Lord knows what all night."
"He was at Jack's grandparent's beach house." Ashley replied.
"Oh my Lord does your father know you spent the night over there with all those wild boys?"
"No mam, but the guys didn't bother me."
"My husband told me that you were the reason Johnny went to jail."
"Kinda, he fought with my ex at the Fast Lane and someone called the cops on him."
"Well in my day we didn't have a boyfriend and go around kissing our exes!" She huffed.
"I'm sorry but he kissed me. I didn't want him to."
"Are you aware that Johnny is trying to have a career in rock music and when he makes it big he will always be out on the road traveling and he won't have time or be able to have a girlfriend."
"Yes I know he's a musician, but I hadn't thought that far ahead."
"And the women, they take up with a different woman every night. I just hate to see you get all involved with Johnny and he leave you for months at a time for the road. So you may want to rethink getting serious with him. He's not a very serious guy anyway. He takes up with a different girl every couple of weeks. It's why he and Dorothea didn't work out. I believe you were one of the ones he took up with."
"I thought it was because she cheated on him."
"In retaliation for him cheating on her, I am sure. Johnny is my son but he is what I like to call a real ladies man. He tells girls what they want to hear. He's a real smooth talker for sure. Sometimes I feel sorry for the girls that are so gullible and believe all the fluff he tells them." She laughed.
Ashley couldn't believe her ears. His own Mother knew he was apparently a liar and a cheater and seemed somewhat proud of it.
Carol grabbed Ashley's finger when she noticed John's ring on it. "Oh no, he shouldn't have given this to you! His Grandmother had this ring specially made for him, now take it off and give it to me!"
"But he wants me to wear it!" Ashley argued. Wishing his Mother hadn't seen it.
"I don't care what he wants. It would absolutuely break my mother's heart to know he cared so little about his ring that he handed it to some girl he barely knows!"
Ashley began to tear up a little. She took it off and gave it to his Mother and went to sit on a chair in the yard by herself.
"Oh my God. What have I done? I fell for his lies. I'm so stupid. He was just using me and I let him do it. I can't believe what his Mother just said to me. But he does barely know me and I don't really know him. How the hell did I sleep with him? I let him be my first! It was such a mistake! Oh my God I feel sick to my stomach!" She thought as she sat there alone with her thoughts.
"I can't believe he drug her here when I damn well told him not to see her anymore!" John Sr. bellowed to Carol.
"And can you believe what she's wearing. And all the makeup she has on. She reminds me of that God awful stripper he dated. The one I ran out of his bedroom, one night at three in the morning.
"Yes she does. He really has a thing for big chested blondes "
"Well just leave her to me! I'll get rid of that little tramp!" Carol smirked.
John drove up with his Grandmother. They were smiling really big and had been having a great time.
John got off of the bike and walked over to Ashley.
"Sorry I took so long baby. She really liked riding on the bike." He smiled.
Ashley just sort of looked away trying not to cry and ruin his good time.
He noticed the sadness in her eyes.
"Hey what's wrong?" He grabbed her face and gently turned it back to him.
"Nothing. I'm sorry, I'm just not feeling well."
"Do you need me to take you home?"
"No I'll be fine I don't want you to miss your Grandmother's party. I'll be okay."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
They went inside and sang happy birthday and got a piece of cake.
"Oh Johnny, I've been meaning to tell you. That cute little waitress at the diner you have been dying to go out with for so long, told me she finally broke up with her boyfriend. I got her number, I told her you are in a band. She seems really interested in seeing you play!" Carol grinned.
"Ma you know I'm with Ashley now! I don't want her number!"
"Excuse me, where's the bathroom?" Ashley stood up holding her stomach.
John pointed to an open door in the hall.
She got up and went to the bathroom and began to puke her guts out. She wanted to crawl in a hole and die. She couldn't wait to get the hell away from here. And stay as far away as she could get, from anyone with the last name Bongiovi.
