"God what is taking him so long? He said he was just dropping her off!" She looked over at Stacey. Her impatience showing on her face.
"Who knows. Call him, if you're that worried."
"No! He said he would call me! Call Richie, see if he made it home. Maybe John is with him."
"Okay."
Stacey picked up the phone and dialed.
"Hello." Richie picked up the phone on the 2nd ring.
"Richie hey it's Stacey. You made it home okay from dropping the wicked bitch of the east off? She giggled amusing herself.
"Haha yeah. I tried to call you but no answer."
"I'm over at Ash's and she's all upset that Johnny hasn't called her yet. Is he there with you or did you drop him off at the apartment?" Stacey asked and winked at Ashley who had moved closer to the phone and sat down. Hoping so much to hear that John wasn't still with Dorothea.
"No he got in a fight with Dot in the limo and she slugged his ass right in the face!" Richie laughed.
"Oh my God, well good for her! Yay Dot!" Stacey laughed.
"What happened?" Ashley questioned looking at her face.
Stacey just kept talking.
"What happened then?"
Johnny got pissed and got out of the limo. He told me to take her home. He walked back to the club. I guess one of the guys gave him a ride. He wasn't there when I got back. I'm wiped can I call you tomorrow?"
"What happened then?"
Johnny got pissed and got out of the limo. He told me to take her home. He walked back to the club. I guess one of the guys gave him a ride. He wasn't there when I got back. I'm wiped can I call you tomorrow?"
"Yeah Okay just call me tomorrow. Bye." Then she hung up.
"What happened?" Ashley asked about to exploded wanting to know what they were talking about.
"Well you don't have to worry about Johnny being with Dorothea tonight. They got in a fight down the road from the club and she hit him and he got out of the limo and walked back to the club and got a ride home from one of the guys."
Ashley smiled. "Oh good, I'm so glad he's not with her! He must have been so tired he probably just passed out when he got home and forgot to call me. I can't believe that bitch hit him though."
"Well he kinda deserved it after he acted like a drunk asshole tonight!"
"You've got to stop being so hard on John. He has a lot on his mind. He's worried about his voice getting better. His parents are always on his back. And now Dorothea and the baby. That's why he was drinking so much tonight, so please back off and give him a break! Please for me."
"I wish you would see Johnny for who he is Ashley. A drunk jerk that is only out for himself. And sooner or later he is going to break your heart honey. I wish you had listened to me when I warned you about him."
"It's my heart to break Stace. I love him. I'm in too deep. John loves me. He wouldn't do anything to hurt me. Now come on drop this! Let's change the subject. What's going on with you and Richie?"
"Nothing." She smiled. "We're just friends."
"Really? Then what's that smile all about?Huh?"
"Richie's a sweet guy, but I'm taking it slow."
"Okay. I like y'all together. Two of my favorite people."
"Dang I'm tired turn out the light, let's go to bed." Stacey yawned.
The next morning. Carol had woken up early and gotten ready to take John to the doctor she pulled into the apartments and parked next to John's Mustang. She got out and slowly walked up the steps. Nursing her right knee that had been bothering her a little lately. She knocked on the door and no answer.
"Where the heck could he be?" She mumbled to herself. "I bet he has overslept." She thought to herself. She turned the doorknob hoping it would unlocked. She smiled really big when it was. She walked in and there was clothes thrown all over the living room. She turned her nose up at the matching bra and panties she saw laying on the floor.
"I am going to kill that damn boy!" She mumbled. I told him to leave that damn Ashley girl alone!" She marched to the bedroom door and turned the doorknob and flipped on the light.
She walked in and was absolutely stunned to see John in bed with Patty. She was all cozied up to him and they were both still asleep. And from the used condom, she saw on the floor it was obvious what her oldest child had been up to.
"Johnny!" She screamed waking them up. "What in the hell are you doing here with her?"
"Oh damn!" Patty groaned. Seeing John's Mother like this was a nightmare for her. The woman hated her.
"Ma what are you doing here?" John leaned over on his elbow and questioned his mother, half asleep still trying to get his bearings.
"I'm here to take you to the doctor! What in the hell are you doing messing with her? You promised me you would leave her alone!"
"Ma can you hop out for a minute? We kinda need to get dressed!"
"Yes but you have some explaining to do!" She walked out in a huff.
"Get dressed Patty! You've got to go! And I know there is no need to say this but last night never happened! Okay? I was fucked out of my mind on tequila. But I can't lose Ash over this! Okay? So not a damn word to anybody!"
"Oh okay. Really? But I thought maybe we were getting back together. The way you kissed me. The way we made love. It was fantastic Johnny. It was like old times."
"Wait no Patty! It was just sex! No strings attached and we didn't even finish all the way! I never shot off! All I could think about was Ashley! That's why I threw you off of me and I couldn't get off! So no we weren't making love! We just had sex and it wasn't even for that long so it really doesn't even count!" He yelled trying to make sure she understood.
Patty looked disgusted. "Are you really trying to tell me that your dick shoved all the way inside me doesn't even count! We fucked and you were very much into it! So don't even try to twist it up now because you are worried about your precious Ashley finding out!" She yelled as her face showed she was mad as hell.
"Patty look! Yeah we got caught up. We were drunk and it went too far. I never meant for it to go all the way to sex! I was just going to let you give me some head! You wanted to go all the way! Not me! I wasn't even into it that much!"
She laughed out loud. Well your dick was mighty hard when you were fucking me for someone that wasn't interested! You know what? Fuck you Johnny! She got up wrapping the sheet around her looking for her clothes. She barged out into the living room with Carol's disapproving stare greeting her. She grabbed her clothes off the floor and went into the bathroom. John had torn her shirt when he ripped it off her. So she grabbed one of his off the bathroom floor and got dressed. She hurried to the door and slammed it as she went down the outside steps.
John's head was pounding. Blurry thoughts of the night before running through his mind as he got in the shower. The hateful way he had spoken to Ashley about Sebastian and Gunner. He remembered flirting with Patty on stage, in front of everybody. The way he drug her to sit at their table, right in front of Ashley. He kept picturing the look on her face.
"Damn it! Stacey was right, I am a fucking asshole! How did I do this? Ash can't find out! She just fucking can't!" He thought as he remembered the way she looked at him when he left her there to take Dorothea home. And the final straw. Him letting things go to far with Patty. "Damn it!" He thought. I didn't mean to sleep with her!" He thought as the hot water continued to cover and caress his body. "God what am I going to say to her? She must be so fucking pissed at me! Fuck! I've got to make this up to her. I don't want to lose her." He thought as he turned the water off, dreading the impending conversation that was sure to take place with his Mom in the next few minutes. He got out and dried off. He was leaving out of the bathroom when a highly upset Carol met him at the door.
"Well little miss trouble left and I think she stole one of your shirts!"
"I don't care, I'm just glad she left."
"What were you thinking bringing that girl back here? Don't you remember what she did to you? I thought you were smarter than that son!" Carol threw up her hands and rolled her eyes.
"Just lay off Ma! Please my head is pounding right now!"
"Well it serves you right! You have got to quit all this drinking and running with all these loose girls! I know you don't want my opinion, but I am going to give it to you anyway! It's time to settle down with your mother of your child!"
"Oh God don't start with that! There is absolutely nothing between me and Dot!"
"Well there could be, if you would give Dorothea half a chance! Well at least you are over that little trampy blonde if you are bringing girls back home to your bed!"
"Quit saying that shit about Ash, Ma! I already told you not to talk about her like that! I love her and nothing you say is going to change that!"
"I just don't even understand you! Don't you see if you really loved her you wouldn't have ended up romping around in here with that damn Patty!"
"Look I was drunk and Patty came on to me! It was my fault though! I never should have let her bring me home!" He went in his room grabbing up clothes out of a pile on his floor. He went in the bathroom and got dressed and quickly blow dried his hair.
He came out and sat on the couch. His Mom was digging in her purse for something. "Damn it! Well come on I have to stop by the house! I forgot the insurance card! And your a new patient at that office, we have to have it!" She walked to the door and he followed her.
He went outside squinting from the morning sun. "Damn it it's bright out here!" He mumbled shoving on his sunglasses walking to his Mom's car.
He was developing a nervous knot in his stomach just thinking about being that close to Ashley's house. God he wanted to see her so bad, but he didn't know what he would say to her. He had treated her like shit and he knew it. "Damn I am such a fucking asshole!" He thought looking out the window at the beach as they l drove toward his family home.
Carol parked and got out. Hurrying inside to look for the insurance card. John got out and was leaning on his Mom's car looking over at Ashley's house.
He was just about to light the cigarette in his hand when suddenly the front door swung open and he laid his eyes on the most gorgeous girl he couldn't get out of his thoughts. She was dressed for work. Wearing a top and matching short skirt and heels. "Damn she looks hot!" He thought as she walked over to him with a hint of a smile on her face.
"Hey." She broadened her smile looking up at him.
"Hey." He looked at her not really knowing what else to say. He was positive somehow she would be able to sense he had been in bed with another woman.
"What happened to you? I waited for you to call me night."
Me and Dot got into it. She slapped me and I bailed on taking her home. I walked back to the club and got a ride home later with Richie."
"Richie gave you a ride?" She asked a little suspiciously.
"Yeah when he brought the limo back." Why did she just ask me that? Damn! Does she know I was with Patty? "Fuck!" He thought.
"Are you feeling okay?" She asked looking at him a little strangely. "You were so drunk last night!" She giggled a little.
"I'm sorry." He smiled with relief that she didn't seem to know anything."I went straight to bed when I got home." He had trouble looking in her eye. Technically it wasn't a lie. It was what he was doing in that bed last night with Patty, that was bothering him.
"I figured you were tired." She replied.
He felt so damn bad. The loving way she was looking at him just made it worse. Images of him and Patty going at it, were flashing in his mind and he couldn't seem to control it. "Yeah I feel like shit today. Mom's taking me to see the doctor this morning. The doc's going to check out my throat and voice. Hope it's good news that I will be better than ever soon."
"I think you're getting better. You sound better to me." She smiled.
"Listen Ashley, I just want to say. I am so sorry how I acted last night. I was drunk but that ain't no excuse. I just wasn't myself at all. I'm so sorry for everything that happened. You mean everything to me baby and I just feel so bad for treating you badly. I'm so sorry."
"It's okay John. I know you were drunk, but it did really hurt my feelings when you questioned my feelings for you and thought I wanted to be with Sebastian or Gunner."
"I remember and I'm so sorry. I'm just a selfish jerk. I know you love me. I was just jealous. I trust you Ash. I know you wouldn't do that to me." He replied but seemed a little nervous.
"Are you okay?" She asked wondering why he was acting so weird.
"Yeah I hate doctors. Ever since I was six and fell out of a tree and broke my arm. The doctor had to finish breaking it to set it. I just really don't even want to go!"
She walked over to him and hugged him. "You are going to be okay. They are just checking everything out to make sure it's healing properly." She pulled back a little looking up at him. "Be sure and call me and tell me what he says."
"I will. How about a little kiss." He grinned.
"Okay." She smiled.
He leaned down and grabbed her and kissed her so deeply she felt a little dizzy when he let her go."
"What was that for? She asked wiping her mouth a little with her finger.
John sat down on the hood of his Mom's car. "I just love you and I don't want anything to ever come between us."
Carol walked outside. John saw her and got nervous, knowing she could tell Ashley what really happened last night. "Well I guess she's ready now. I'll let you get on to work. I'll call you later and let you know how it goes with the doctor."
"Okay thanks." She smiled.
He pulled her in for a hug. He held her tight. "I love you Ash and I am so very sorry."
"Okay stop apologizing you didn't do anything that bad. I love you too." She let him go. "Well I need to go." She walked over to her car and got in and drove away as he stood there watching until she was out of sight.
"Why do I always find you with the wrong girls?" Carol asked opening her car door. She is all wrong for you Johnny. You need to put all your energy toward Dorothea. I mean you don't want her to end up with someone else and that guy start raising your child? Do you?"
"Just stop with the Dot crusade! That bitch slapped me in my face last night!"
"Oh honey that's just her hormones making her crazy. She is going to be that way til the baby comes." She laughed a little. "When I was pregnant with you I did all kinds of crazy stuff."
"This is her personality everyday. She's won a few karate tournaments and now she thinks she's Bruce Lee or something! I don't want to talk about her anymore! Please let's just drop this subject!" John insisted.
"Okay well I heard Ashley's father is getting out of jail today. Please promise me, you will stay away from that girl. If you tie up with him again, I think your father will go to jail this time, because he'll kill him!"
"I can't promise you that and her dad can't keep me from her either."
Carol just shook her head and rolled her eyes. "You are just so stubborn just like your father! It drives me nuts!"
The rest of the ride was pretty quiet.
They pulled into to the Jersey Shore medical arts building parking lot.
John all of a sudden was very nervous and uneasy. He had always hated doctors and any type of medical setting, but since his recent injury it had gotten a lot worse.
They entered the building and signed in. John sat down and found a current Rolling Stone magazine to read. He tapped one of his Converse high tops on the heel of his other one, as he impatiently waited to see the doctor and just get this the hell over with.
Finally he heard his name. "Johnny Bongiovi, you can come back now."
He got up with his mom and walked to the back. After getting his vital signs, his current weight and height he was whisked to another room to wait some more. After being thoroughly checked out by the doctor. He was sent for a couple of tests. Then he was sent to the Doctor's office.
"Some of your injury looks like it's healing okay but I am a little concerned about the swelling still around his larynx that's your voice box, Johnny. It's what's causing your husky sounding voice. I would like to give you a series of shots of steroids directly in your larynx. It will help with the swelling and inflammation." Dr. Johnson explained.
"No doc! Shots in my throat! There has to be something else!"
"Well there is surgery. That would be our next step if the shots fail anyway."
"No I don't want any of it!" John exclaimed sort of freaking out.
"Calm down son." Carol put her arm around him. She knew how he hated doctors. "Do we have to decide right now? Can we talk it over with my husband and get back to you?"
"Sure. But we don't need to put it off really long. The inflammation can cause permanent damage to his larynx and I know that he is a singer and this injury has really affected his vocal performance. I'll go ahead and set it up for tomorrow at 3:00. If you decide against it for now, just call."
"Okay thanks Dr. Johnson. Carol smiled politely taking the appointment reminder card.
John was sitting in shock. He hated needles and surgery more than doctors and now this quack wanted him to maybe deal with both. "Damn it!" He thought to himself as he was still trying to process the bad news he just received.
Carol and John walked out into the hall. Waiting for paperwork to check out and leave.
"You are just going to have to do this. I think it's the right thing. It will get you better faster!" She tried to explain to him.
"No I don't want needles in my neck or anywhere else! I ain't doing it!"
"Don't you want to get better? Singing is your dream and you are playing with your future!" Carol got a little louder trying to talk some sense into her oldest child.
They finished up at the checkout desk and started driving home. Carol tried to bring it up but John wouldn't even talk to her. "Do you want to stop for some food?"
"Nah I ain't hungry." He mumbled. She drove him to the apartment and he got out and went over to his motorcycle and sat down on it a couple of minutes.
His Mom sat there in her car watching him. He cranked up and drove down the beach out of sight. She started driving home, wondering where he was going.
John pulled up at the Fast Lane.
He parked right beside Ashley's car. He walked inside and a guy he had never seen before stopped him. "I'm sorry man we aren't open yet."
"That's fine. I'm Johnny I play in one of the bands here."
"Okay sorry. Bret just hired me for security, I'm Kurt. There was a robbery the other night in the back parking lot."
"Oh okay. Have you seen Ashley around?"
"You must be talking about the hot little blonde. Watch out she's cold. I been coming onto her all day and she just keeps shooting me down." He grinned.
Ashley walked out from the back and John walked over to her and just started kissing her. Right in front of Kurt.
John pulled back and looked at him. "Funny she ain't cold at all to me." He smiled at him and let her go.
"You're so crazy! What are you doing?" She giggled a little.
"Messing with this jerk that just told me how good looking but cold you were to him.
"Yeah he is pretty persistent. I told him I was already involved with somebody. But you know better than anybody how guys like that are." She smiled up at him.
"What are you saying? I was persistent?"
"Yeah you were! You wouldn't take no for an answer either! You never gave up trying to get me in the bed!"
"Well it worked out didn't it! You got the best sex of your life!" He chuckled.
"Don't you mean the only sex of my life? Maybe it's not the best. I mean how would I know? Maybe your just telling me it's the best." She smiled up at him and she could see the worry on his face. "What's wrong? You know I'm just playing right?"
"Oh no it ain't that. I just got back from the doctor's office and he's talking about some kind of shots in my neck and maybe surgery."
"Oh John I'm so sorry. All of this is all my fault. It was my father that hurt you. This is all because of me." She looked at him upset knowing either option was going to be painful for him. "Is it steroid shots?"
"Yeah I think so."
"I had to get them in the neck for a while after my fall. I'm not going to lie. They are painful, but they do help. I had alot of trauma and inflammation. I couldn't even turn my neck. After the shots it was a lot better. My doctor told me I will have to have surgery later. That my problem will get worse as I get older."
"God Ash, I'm sorry."
"Aww don't worry about me, what are you going to do?"
"I told him no! I don't need it!"
"But I know you want to get better. You want to sing with your band. Maybe these shots will help and you won't need surgery."
"I don't know. They want me to get them tomorrow at 3:00. Can you go with me? If you were there to hold my hand maybe I could stand it." He looked at her hoping she would say yes.
"Yeah sure anything you want John. I will be glad to go with you."
"Okay can you come by my house after work. I really need to be with you tonight."
"Yeah I can. Are you sure you're okay?"
"Yeah I just have a lot on my mind and I just need to see you tonight?"
"Yeah I'll be there."
"Okay, see you later." He kissed her cheek and headed out the door.
Kurt was out front smoking. "So you're the boyfriend huh?"
John grinned. "Yep that's me."
"You're a lucky dude. She seems like a great girl. It's hard to keep up a girl like that though. I mean she could have anybody or almost anything she really wanted."
"Maybe." John replied and started thinking about what this dude was really saying.
"It just makes me wonder how long she will just settle for you?" He kind of chuckled.
"Well I think you're putting a little too much thought into my girl!" John replied getting a little angry.
"Bret has filled me in all about you Bongiovi. You need to know I take my job very seriously and I won't tolerate you or your fighting bullshit very well. So watch yourself."
"Yeah whatever! Just stay away from Ashley! She ain't interested!"
John jumped on his motorcycle and drove to the Galaxy club.
He went in and Kristen was carrying a heavy box in the side door. John ran over to her. "Let me get that for you." He grabbed it and took it out of her hands."
"Thanks Johnny. Just put it behind the bar."
"Where's Richie? I saw his car out front." He asked setting the box down.
"He's back in the storage room. Harold has him looking in old boxes for the deed to his house."
"What's he need that for?"
"I don't know but he's anxious to find it."
"I'll go help him." John smiled headed to the back.
"Where have you been? This should be your job." Richie exclaimed digging through a box.
"I had to go to the doctor this morning."
"Ok yeah, how did it go?"
"He wants to give me a series of shots in my damn neck and or possible surgery!
"I take it you ain't happy about either option."
"Hell no! I don't want either. Do you know if Patty is coming in today?" John asked fidgeting with his fingers trying not to look so guilty."
"Yeah later I think, What's up with you man. You look more nervous than a whore in church." Richie chuckled.
"I just got a lot of shit going on. Alright?"
"Yeah man I'm just busting your chops. How'd you get home last night? I looked for you back at the club and you were gone."
"Look I need you to do something for me. "I told Ash I got a ride home with you last night. So just stick to the story okay?"
"Wait! Stacey and Ash called me last night looking for you and I already told them I couldn't find you when I got back to the club."
"Oh fuck!" John exclaimed and started pacing back and forth. "Why didn't she call me a fucking liar!" He mumbled under his breath.
"Damn what's going on man?" Richie asked very curious to why John was acting so suspicious.
John looked him directly in the eye. "Look about last night. I didn't mean for any of it to happen!" John nervously babbled.
"Calm down." Richie put his hand on John's shoulder. "Who took you home?" Richie asked him directly.
"Patty!" John blurted out.
"Okay so that don't look good, but nothing serious happened? Right?" Richie asked studying John's worried face.
John closed his eyes and then after a brief pause, opened them up and started confessing. "I fucked up and Ash is going to kill me if she finds out!"
Richie's eyes got huge. "You mean you fucked Patty?"
"I wasn't trying to! She came on to me! I got out of her car and bolted up to my door. I went to the bathroom and when I came back she had let herself in and she was there with a damn bottle of tequila. She told me her Mom is sick with cancer and I felt sorry for her. We finished off the bottle and next thing I knew she kissed me and was giving me head like a fucking pro!"
"Damn Johnny! I told you she was hot for you!"
"I wasn't going to let it go any further! I swear I wasn't, but she knew all the right buttons to push! The next thing I knew we were in my bed and she was fucking riding me!"
Richie blew out his breath and made a face. "Wow! You are fucked my friend. Ash won't kill you! She's going to drop your ass like a fucking bad habit!"
"I know! That's why she can't find out! I have to talk to Patty! I have to convince her not to say anything!"
"Well how did you leave it with her?"
"Not good. I felt so damn guilty I shoved her off of me. I couldn't even finish! I didn't even want to! I guess after that I passed out. It was just a big mistake! I can't loose Ash over this!"
"Did she leave last night?"
"I wish! Ma barged her way in the apartment this morning and caught us in bed, still asleep! I tried to reason with Patty! I told her to forget it even happened! That crazy bitch told me she thought it meant we were back together!"
"Seriously? She thought you wanted to be back with her? Damn Johnny! How do you get yourself into this kind of shit man?"
"I don't know, but she has to listen to me! Ashley can't ever find out this shit or it will be the end of us!"
"Damn man I wish you a lot of luck." Richie sympathetically looked at him.
"Thanks man. Why does Harold got you looking for his house deed anyway?"
"He wants to buy another club and the bank wants it put up as collateral."
"Oh okay. Do you need some help?"
"Yeah check some of those boxes over there on the top shelf." Richie pointed across the room.
They dug around for two more hours and Richie exclaimed, "yes! I found it!"
He was all smiles as he carried it out to find Harold. "Harold here it is!"
"Oh good! Thanks!" He looked at John. "Can you call your girlfriend and get her to come over here I need to talk to her about something important."
"Yeah sure." He went to the phone at the bar and got her on the line.
"Hello." He heard her sweet voice sounding like an angel.
"Hey baby, damn you sound sexy. I wish we were back at the apartment. I could think of a few things I would love to be doing to you right now." He chuckled just a little with his husky voice.
"Oh John is that all you ever think about?" She giggled.
"Only when I'm thinking about you."
"Aww I love you."
"I love you too babe. The reason I'm calling is Harold needs you to come over here to Galaxy. He said he needs to talk to you about something important."
"Okay well I'm fixing to check in a beer vender it's gonna be a few minutes. Can you let him know?"
"Yeah baby. I'm so glad I get to see you again. You are looking so fine in that skirt today. Is that Kurt dude leaving you alone?"
"Yeah he hasn't said another word to me actually."
"Good, he better keep it that way." John deepened his voice a little more to sound tougher.
"Let me go so I can finish up." She quickly replied.
"Okay bye baby."
"Bye."
John hung up and walked over to Richie. "She'll be here in a few minutes she's dealing with a beer vendor."
"Okay I'll let Harold know." Richie walked to the back.
"He knocked on the door. "Hey Harold, Ashley has a beer vendor at the club. When she's done, she'll be heading over here."
"Okay good. Let me ask you a question."
"Okay shoot."
"Is there something going on with Johnny and Patty? I mean I know he is with Ashley but Patty quit the band this morning and she was almost in tears when she mentioned him."
"You know how Johnny is, he always has too many irons in the fire, but I think he really loves Ash. I think Patty is just still hung up on him from when they used to go out."
"Okay because Ash is a great girl and she's good for Johnny. She keeps his head on straighter than any other girl he's messed with. You know I love that boy like the son I never had. Try to talk a little sense into him. I know he seems to have an endless supply of interested girls, but Ashley seems like something special." He grinned. "Just my two cents. I know better than to tell him myself. Kids never listen to adult advice." He chuckled.
"I'm pretty sure he already knows, but I'll do my best."
"Thanks. I appreciate what a good friend you are to my Johnny."
"No problem. He's like a brother to me."
John had started sweeping the floor out front when the door opened and Patty walked in carrying a box. She gave John a dirty look and walked right past him toward the back.
"Patty!" John followed behind her. "Wait up!"
She turned around. "Look I'm busy! Harold asked me to drop off this amp that I borrowed for Scandal to use! I don't have anything to say to you and I quit this house band this morning!"
"What you can't quit Patty! You need the money!"
"I can't be around you Johnny not after what we did and how it didn't matter to you at all!"
"It does matter to me Patty, but it just shouldn't have happened. I was so drunk and you kept coming on to me. I never lied to you. You knew I was in love with Ashley and if she finds out about this it will kill her. She's been hurt so much and I promised her, that I wouldn't ever hurt her. Please don't say anything. I'm begging you Patty!" John looked at her a little teary eyed. He had to get her to understand.
"Why don't I matter to you like that? I used to Johnny?"
"I'm sorry. You still matter to me Patty. I'm just in love with somebody else. She means everything in the whole world to me."
"But Johnny you were into it! When you let yourself go you wanted it just as much as I did!" She argued, tired of listening to how much he loved Ashley.
"No! No! I wasn't into it! I wasn't ever sick! I just wanted to end it! I wasn't into it! I mean obviously a part of me was! But the part that counts, my heart was not into it. I'm sorry, it went that far. I'm sorry you wanted more. But Patty my heart is already taken. And I just felt so damn guilty I couldn't even see it through. I hope you understand.
Richie walked in instantly knowing he was interrupting something and stood beside John.
"Look, don't take your anger out on me! I don't give a damn who you sleep with!"
Patty was furious. She cut her eyes at back to John. "I knew you couldn't wait to tell him!" She yelled almost in tears.
"Tell him what?" John heard coming from behind him and turn around with his heart about to beat out of his chest, to find Ashley standing there waiting for an answer.
"What's going on John?" Ashley asked. Wondering what the hell Patty was talking about.
"Well he kinda deserved it after he acted like a drunk asshole tonight!"
"You've got to stop being so hard on John. He has a lot on his mind. He's worried about his voice getting better. His parents are always on his back. And now Dorothea and the baby. That's why he was drinking so much tonight, so please back off and give him a break! Please for me."
"I wish you would see Johnny for who he is Ashley. A drunk jerk that is only out for himself. And sooner or later he is going to break your heart honey. I wish you had listened to me when I warned you about him."
"It's my heart to break Stace. I love him. I'm in too deep. John loves me. He wouldn't do anything to hurt me. Now come on drop this! Let's change the subject. What's going on with you and Richie?"
"Nothing." She smiled. "We're just friends."
"Really? Then what's that smile all about?Huh?"
"Richie's a sweet guy, but I'm taking it slow."
"Okay. I like y'all together. Two of my favorite people."
"Dang I'm tired turn out the light, let's go to bed." Stacey yawned.
The next morning. Carol had woken up early and gotten ready to take John to the doctor she pulled into the apartments and parked next to John's Mustang. She got out and slowly walked up the steps. Nursing her right knee that had been bothering her a little lately. She knocked on the door and no answer.
"Where the heck could he be?" She mumbled to herself. "I bet he has overslept." She thought to herself. She turned the doorknob hoping it would unlocked. She smiled really big when it was. She walked in and there was clothes thrown all over the living room. She turned her nose up at the matching bra and panties she saw laying on the floor.
"I am going to kill that damn boy!" She mumbled. I told him to leave that damn Ashley girl alone!" She marched to the bedroom door and turned the doorknob and flipped on the light.
She walked in and was absolutely stunned to see John in bed with Patty. She was all cozied up to him and they were both still asleep. And from the used condom, she saw on the floor it was obvious what her oldest child had been up to.
"Johnny!" She screamed waking them up. "What in the hell are you doing here with her?"
"Oh damn!" Patty groaned. Seeing John's Mother like this was a nightmare for her. The woman hated her.
"Ma what are you doing here?" John leaned over on his elbow and questioned his mother, half asleep still trying to get his bearings.
"I'm here to take you to the doctor! What in the hell are you doing messing with her? You promised me you would leave her alone!"
"Ma can you hop out for a minute? We kinda need to get dressed!"
"Yes but you have some explaining to do!" She walked out in a huff.
"Get dressed Patty! You've got to go! And I know there is no need to say this but last night never happened! Okay? I was fucked out of my mind on tequila. But I can't lose Ash over this! Okay? So not a damn word to anybody!"
"Oh okay. Really? But I thought maybe we were getting back together. The way you kissed me. The way we made love. It was fantastic Johnny. It was like old times."
"Wait no Patty! It was just sex! No strings attached and we didn't even finish all the way! I never shot off! All I could think about was Ashley! That's why I threw you off of me and I couldn't get off! So no we weren't making love! We just had sex and it wasn't even for that long so it really doesn't even count!" He yelled trying to make sure she understood.
Patty looked disgusted. "Are you really trying to tell me that your dick shoved all the way inside me doesn't even count! We fucked and you were very much into it! So don't even try to twist it up now because you are worried about your precious Ashley finding out!" She yelled as her face showed she was mad as hell.
"Patty look! Yeah we got caught up. We were drunk and it went too far. I never meant for it to go all the way to sex! I was just going to let you give me some head! You wanted to go all the way! Not me! I wasn't even into it that much!"
She laughed out loud. Well your dick was mighty hard when you were fucking me for someone that wasn't interested! You know what? Fuck you Johnny! She got up wrapping the sheet around her looking for her clothes. She barged out into the living room with Carol's disapproving stare greeting her. She grabbed her clothes off the floor and went into the bathroom. John had torn her shirt when he ripped it off her. So she grabbed one of his off the bathroom floor and got dressed. She hurried to the door and slammed it as she went down the outside steps.
John's head was pounding. Blurry thoughts of the night before running through his mind as he got in the shower. The hateful way he had spoken to Ashley about Sebastian and Gunner. He remembered flirting with Patty on stage, in front of everybody. The way he drug her to sit at their table, right in front of Ashley. He kept picturing the look on her face.
"Damn it! Stacey was right, I am a fucking asshole! How did I do this? Ash can't find out! She just fucking can't!" He thought as he remembered the way she looked at him when he left her there to take Dorothea home. And the final straw. Him letting things go to far with Patty. "Damn it!" He thought. I didn't mean to sleep with her!" He thought as the hot water continued to cover and caress his body. "God what am I going to say to her? She must be so fucking pissed at me! Fuck! I've got to make this up to her. I don't want to lose her." He thought as he turned the water off, dreading the impending conversation that was sure to take place with his Mom in the next few minutes. He got out and dried off. He was leaving out of the bathroom when a highly upset Carol met him at the door.
"Well little miss trouble left and I think she stole one of your shirts!"
"I don't care, I'm just glad she left."
"What were you thinking bringing that girl back here? Don't you remember what she did to you? I thought you were smarter than that son!" Carol threw up her hands and rolled her eyes.
"Just lay off Ma! Please my head is pounding right now!"
"Well it serves you right! You have got to quit all this drinking and running with all these loose girls! I know you don't want my opinion, but I am going to give it to you anyway! It's time to settle down with your mother of your child!"
"Oh God don't start with that! There is absolutely nothing between me and Dot!"
"Well there could be, if you would give Dorothea half a chance! Well at least you are over that little trampy blonde if you are bringing girls back home to your bed!"
"Quit saying that shit about Ash, Ma! I already told you not to talk about her like that! I love her and nothing you say is going to change that!"
"I just don't even understand you! Don't you see if you really loved her you wouldn't have ended up romping around in here with that damn Patty!"
"Look I was drunk and Patty came on to me! It was my fault though! I never should have let her bring me home!" He went in his room grabbing up clothes out of a pile on his floor. He went in the bathroom and got dressed and quickly blow dried his hair.
He came out and sat on the couch. His Mom was digging in her purse for something. "Damn it! Well come on I have to stop by the house! I forgot the insurance card! And your a new patient at that office, we have to have it!" She walked to the door and he followed her.
He went outside squinting from the morning sun. "Damn it it's bright out here!" He mumbled shoving on his sunglasses walking to his Mom's car.
He was developing a nervous knot in his stomach just thinking about being that close to Ashley's house. God he wanted to see her so bad, but he didn't know what he would say to her. He had treated her like shit and he knew it. "Damn I am such a fucking asshole!" He thought looking out the window at the beach as they l drove toward his family home.
Carol parked and got out. Hurrying inside to look for the insurance card. John got out and was leaning on his Mom's car looking over at Ashley's house.
He was just about to light the cigarette in his hand when suddenly the front door swung open and he laid his eyes on the most gorgeous girl he couldn't get out of his thoughts. She was dressed for work. Wearing a top and matching short skirt and heels. "Damn she looks hot!" He thought as she walked over to him with a hint of a smile on her face.
"Hey." She broadened her smile looking up at him.
"Hey." He looked at her not really knowing what else to say. He was positive somehow she would be able to sense he had been in bed with another woman.
"What happened to you? I waited for you to call me night."
Me and Dot got into it. She slapped me and I bailed on taking her home. I walked back to the club and got a ride home later with Richie."
"Richie gave you a ride?" She asked a little suspiciously.
"Yeah when he brought the limo back." Why did she just ask me that? Damn! Does she know I was with Patty? "Fuck!" He thought.
"Are you feeling okay?" She asked looking at him a little strangely. "You were so drunk last night!" She giggled a little.
"I'm sorry." He smiled with relief that she didn't seem to know anything."I went straight to bed when I got home." He had trouble looking in her eye. Technically it wasn't a lie. It was what he was doing in that bed last night with Patty, that was bothering him.
"I figured you were tired." She replied.
He felt so damn bad. The loving way she was looking at him just made it worse. Images of him and Patty going at it, were flashing in his mind and he couldn't seem to control it. "Yeah I feel like shit today. Mom's taking me to see the doctor this morning. The doc's going to check out my throat and voice. Hope it's good news that I will be better than ever soon."
"I think you're getting better. You sound better to me." She smiled.
"Listen Ashley, I just want to say. I am so sorry how I acted last night. I was drunk but that ain't no excuse. I just wasn't myself at all. I'm so sorry for everything that happened. You mean everything to me baby and I just feel so bad for treating you badly. I'm so sorry."
"It's okay John. I know you were drunk, but it did really hurt my feelings when you questioned my feelings for you and thought I wanted to be with Sebastian or Gunner."
"I remember and I'm so sorry. I'm just a selfish jerk. I know you love me. I was just jealous. I trust you Ash. I know you wouldn't do that to me." He replied but seemed a little nervous.
"Are you okay?" She asked wondering why he was acting so weird.
"Yeah I hate doctors. Ever since I was six and fell out of a tree and broke my arm. The doctor had to finish breaking it to set it. I just really don't even want to go!"
She walked over to him and hugged him. "You are going to be okay. They are just checking everything out to make sure it's healing properly." She pulled back a little looking up at him. "Be sure and call me and tell me what he says."
"I will. How about a little kiss." He grinned.
"Okay." She smiled.
He leaned down and grabbed her and kissed her so deeply she felt a little dizzy when he let her go."
"What was that for? She asked wiping her mouth a little with her finger.
John sat down on the hood of his Mom's car. "I just love you and I don't want anything to ever come between us."
Carol walked outside. John saw her and got nervous, knowing she could tell Ashley what really happened last night. "Well I guess she's ready now. I'll let you get on to work. I'll call you later and let you know how it goes with the doctor."
"Okay thanks." She smiled.
He pulled her in for a hug. He held her tight. "I love you Ash and I am so very sorry."
"Okay stop apologizing you didn't do anything that bad. I love you too." She let him go. "Well I need to go." She walked over to her car and got in and drove away as he stood there watching until she was out of sight.
"Why do I always find you with the wrong girls?" Carol asked opening her car door. She is all wrong for you Johnny. You need to put all your energy toward Dorothea. I mean you don't want her to end up with someone else and that guy start raising your child? Do you?"
"Just stop with the Dot crusade! That bitch slapped me in my face last night!"
"Oh honey that's just her hormones making her crazy. She is going to be that way til the baby comes." She laughed a little. "When I was pregnant with you I did all kinds of crazy stuff."
"This is her personality everyday. She's won a few karate tournaments and now she thinks she's Bruce Lee or something! I don't want to talk about her anymore! Please let's just drop this subject!" John insisted.
"Okay well I heard Ashley's father is getting out of jail today. Please promise me, you will stay away from that girl. If you tie up with him again, I think your father will go to jail this time, because he'll kill him!"
"I can't promise you that and her dad can't keep me from her either."
Carol just shook her head and rolled her eyes. "You are just so stubborn just like your father! It drives me nuts!"
The rest of the ride was pretty quiet.
They pulled into to the Jersey Shore medical arts building parking lot.
John all of a sudden was very nervous and uneasy. He had always hated doctors and any type of medical setting, but since his recent injury it had gotten a lot worse.
They entered the building and signed in. John sat down and found a current Rolling Stone magazine to read. He tapped one of his Converse high tops on the heel of his other one, as he impatiently waited to see the doctor and just get this the hell over with.
Finally he heard his name. "Johnny Bongiovi, you can come back now."
He got up with his mom and walked to the back. After getting his vital signs, his current weight and height he was whisked to another room to wait some more. After being thoroughly checked out by the doctor. He was sent for a couple of tests. Then he was sent to the Doctor's office.
"Some of your injury looks like it's healing okay but I am a little concerned about the swelling still around his larynx that's your voice box, Johnny. It's what's causing your husky sounding voice. I would like to give you a series of shots of steroids directly in your larynx. It will help with the swelling and inflammation." Dr. Johnson explained.
"No doc! Shots in my throat! There has to be something else!"
"Well there is surgery. That would be our next step if the shots fail anyway."
"No I don't want any of it!" John exclaimed sort of freaking out.
"Calm down son." Carol put her arm around him. She knew how he hated doctors. "Do we have to decide right now? Can we talk it over with my husband and get back to you?"
"Sure. But we don't need to put it off really long. The inflammation can cause permanent damage to his larynx and I know that he is a singer and this injury has really affected his vocal performance. I'll go ahead and set it up for tomorrow at 3:00. If you decide against it for now, just call."
"Okay thanks Dr. Johnson. Carol smiled politely taking the appointment reminder card.
John was sitting in shock. He hated needles and surgery more than doctors and now this quack wanted him to maybe deal with both. "Damn it!" He thought to himself as he was still trying to process the bad news he just received.
Carol and John walked out into the hall. Waiting for paperwork to check out and leave.
"You are just going to have to do this. I think it's the right thing. It will get you better faster!" She tried to explain to him.
"No I don't want needles in my neck or anywhere else! I ain't doing it!"
"Don't you want to get better? Singing is your dream and you are playing with your future!" Carol got a little louder trying to talk some sense into her oldest child.
They finished up at the checkout desk and started driving home. Carol tried to bring it up but John wouldn't even talk to her. "Do you want to stop for some food?"
"Nah I ain't hungry." He mumbled. She drove him to the apartment and he got out and went over to his motorcycle and sat down on it a couple of minutes.
His Mom sat there in her car watching him. He cranked up and drove down the beach out of sight. She started driving home, wondering where he was going.
John pulled up at the Fast Lane.
He parked right beside Ashley's car. He walked inside and a guy he had never seen before stopped him. "I'm sorry man we aren't open yet."
"That's fine. I'm Johnny I play in one of the bands here."
"Okay sorry. Bret just hired me for security, I'm Kurt. There was a robbery the other night in the back parking lot."
"Oh okay. Have you seen Ashley around?"
"You must be talking about the hot little blonde. Watch out she's cold. I been coming onto her all day and she just keeps shooting me down." He grinned.
Ashley walked out from the back and John walked over to her and just started kissing her. Right in front of Kurt.
John pulled back and looked at him. "Funny she ain't cold at all to me." He smiled at him and let her go.
"You're so crazy! What are you doing?" She giggled a little.
"Messing with this jerk that just told me how good looking but cold you were to him.
"Yeah he is pretty persistent. I told him I was already involved with somebody. But you know better than anybody how guys like that are." She smiled up at him.
"What are you saying? I was persistent?"
"Yeah you were! You wouldn't take no for an answer either! You never gave up trying to get me in the bed!"
"Well it worked out didn't it! You got the best sex of your life!" He chuckled.
"Don't you mean the only sex of my life? Maybe it's not the best. I mean how would I know? Maybe your just telling me it's the best." She smiled up at him and she could see the worry on his face. "What's wrong? You know I'm just playing right?"
"Oh no it ain't that. I just got back from the doctor's office and he's talking about some kind of shots in my neck and maybe surgery."
"Oh John I'm so sorry. All of this is all my fault. It was my father that hurt you. This is all because of me." She looked at him upset knowing either option was going to be painful for him. "Is it steroid shots?"
"Yeah I think so."
"I had to get them in the neck for a while after my fall. I'm not going to lie. They are painful, but they do help. I had alot of trauma and inflammation. I couldn't even turn my neck. After the shots it was a lot better. My doctor told me I will have to have surgery later. That my problem will get worse as I get older."
"God Ash, I'm sorry."
"Aww don't worry about me, what are you going to do?"
"I told him no! I don't need it!"
"But I know you want to get better. You want to sing with your band. Maybe these shots will help and you won't need surgery."
"I don't know. They want me to get them tomorrow at 3:00. Can you go with me? If you were there to hold my hand maybe I could stand it." He looked at her hoping she would say yes.
"Yeah sure anything you want John. I will be glad to go with you."
"Okay can you come by my house after work. I really need to be with you tonight."
"Yeah I can. Are you sure you're okay?"
"Yeah I just have a lot on my mind and I just need to see you tonight?"
"Yeah I'll be there."
"Okay, see you later." He kissed her cheek and headed out the door.
Kurt was out front smoking. "So you're the boyfriend huh?"
John grinned. "Yep that's me."
"You're a lucky dude. She seems like a great girl. It's hard to keep up a girl like that though. I mean she could have anybody or almost anything she really wanted."
"Maybe." John replied and started thinking about what this dude was really saying.
"It just makes me wonder how long she will just settle for you?" He kind of chuckled.
"Well I think you're putting a little too much thought into my girl!" John replied getting a little angry.
"Bret has filled me in all about you Bongiovi. You need to know I take my job very seriously and I won't tolerate you or your fighting bullshit very well. So watch yourself."
"Yeah whatever! Just stay away from Ashley! She ain't interested!"
John jumped on his motorcycle and drove to the Galaxy club.
He went in and Kristen was carrying a heavy box in the side door. John ran over to her. "Let me get that for you." He grabbed it and took it out of her hands."
"Thanks Johnny. Just put it behind the bar."
"Where's Richie? I saw his car out front." He asked setting the box down.
"He's back in the storage room. Harold has him looking in old boxes for the deed to his house."
"What's he need that for?"
"I don't know but he's anxious to find it."
"I'll go help him." John smiled headed to the back.
"Where have you been? This should be your job." Richie exclaimed digging through a box.
"I had to go to the doctor this morning."
"Ok yeah, how did it go?"
"He wants to give me a series of shots in my damn neck and or possible surgery!
"I take it you ain't happy about either option."
"Hell no! I don't want either. Do you know if Patty is coming in today?" John asked fidgeting with his fingers trying not to look so guilty."
"Yeah later I think, What's up with you man. You look more nervous than a whore in church." Richie chuckled.
"I just got a lot of shit going on. Alright?"
"Yeah man I'm just busting your chops. How'd you get home last night? I looked for you back at the club and you were gone."
"Look I need you to do something for me. "I told Ash I got a ride home with you last night. So just stick to the story okay?"
"Wait! Stacey and Ash called me last night looking for you and I already told them I couldn't find you when I got back to the club."
"Oh fuck!" John exclaimed and started pacing back and forth. "Why didn't she call me a fucking liar!" He mumbled under his breath.
"Damn what's going on man?" Richie asked very curious to why John was acting so suspicious.
John looked him directly in the eye. "Look about last night. I didn't mean for any of it to happen!" John nervously babbled.
"Calm down." Richie put his hand on John's shoulder. "Who took you home?" Richie asked him directly.
"Patty!" John blurted out.
"Okay so that don't look good, but nothing serious happened? Right?" Richie asked studying John's worried face.
John closed his eyes and then after a brief pause, opened them up and started confessing. "I fucked up and Ash is going to kill me if she finds out!"
Richie's eyes got huge. "You mean you fucked Patty?"
"I wasn't trying to! She came on to me! I got out of her car and bolted up to my door. I went to the bathroom and when I came back she had let herself in and she was there with a damn bottle of tequila. She told me her Mom is sick with cancer and I felt sorry for her. We finished off the bottle and next thing I knew she kissed me and was giving me head like a fucking pro!"
"Damn Johnny! I told you she was hot for you!"
"I wasn't going to let it go any further! I swear I wasn't, but she knew all the right buttons to push! The next thing I knew we were in my bed and she was fucking riding me!"
Richie blew out his breath and made a face. "Wow! You are fucked my friend. Ash won't kill you! She's going to drop your ass like a fucking bad habit!"
"I know! That's why she can't find out! I have to talk to Patty! I have to convince her not to say anything!"
"Well how did you leave it with her?"
"Not good. I felt so damn guilty I shoved her off of me. I couldn't even finish! I didn't even want to! I guess after that I passed out. It was just a big mistake! I can't loose Ash over this!"
"Did she leave last night?"
"I wish! Ma barged her way in the apartment this morning and caught us in bed, still asleep! I tried to reason with Patty! I told her to forget it even happened! That crazy bitch told me she thought it meant we were back together!"
"Seriously? She thought you wanted to be back with her? Damn Johnny! How do you get yourself into this kind of shit man?"
"I don't know, but she has to listen to me! Ashley can't ever find out this shit or it will be the end of us!"
"Damn man I wish you a lot of luck." Richie sympathetically looked at him.
"Thanks man. Why does Harold got you looking for his house deed anyway?"
"He wants to buy another club and the bank wants it put up as collateral."
"Oh okay. Do you need some help?"
"Yeah check some of those boxes over there on the top shelf." Richie pointed across the room.
They dug around for two more hours and Richie exclaimed, "yes! I found it!"
He was all smiles as he carried it out to find Harold. "Harold here it is!"
"Oh good! Thanks!" He looked at John. "Can you call your girlfriend and get her to come over here I need to talk to her about something important."
"Yeah sure." He went to the phone at the bar and got her on the line.
"Hello." He heard her sweet voice sounding like an angel.
"Hey baby, damn you sound sexy. I wish we were back at the apartment. I could think of a few things I would love to be doing to you right now." He chuckled just a little with his husky voice.
"Oh John is that all you ever think about?" She giggled.
"Only when I'm thinking about you."
"Aww I love you."
"I love you too babe. The reason I'm calling is Harold needs you to come over here to Galaxy. He said he needs to talk to you about something important."
"Okay well I'm fixing to check in a beer vender it's gonna be a few minutes. Can you let him know?"
"Yeah baby. I'm so glad I get to see you again. You are looking so fine in that skirt today. Is that Kurt dude leaving you alone?"
"Yeah he hasn't said another word to me actually."
"Good, he better keep it that way." John deepened his voice a little more to sound tougher.
"Let me go so I can finish up." She quickly replied.
"Okay bye baby."
"Bye."
John hung up and walked over to Richie. "She'll be here in a few minutes she's dealing with a beer vendor."
"Okay I'll let Harold know." Richie walked to the back.
"He knocked on the door. "Hey Harold, Ashley has a beer vendor at the club. When she's done, she'll be heading over here."
"Okay good. Let me ask you a question."
"Okay shoot."
"Is there something going on with Johnny and Patty? I mean I know he is with Ashley but Patty quit the band this morning and she was almost in tears when she mentioned him."
"You know how Johnny is, he always has too many irons in the fire, but I think he really loves Ash. I think Patty is just still hung up on him from when they used to go out."
"Okay because Ash is a great girl and she's good for Johnny. She keeps his head on straighter than any other girl he's messed with. You know I love that boy like the son I never had. Try to talk a little sense into him. I know he seems to have an endless supply of interested girls, but Ashley seems like something special." He grinned. "Just my two cents. I know better than to tell him myself. Kids never listen to adult advice." He chuckled.
"I'm pretty sure he already knows, but I'll do my best."
"Thanks. I appreciate what a good friend you are to my Johnny."
"No problem. He's like a brother to me."
John had started sweeping the floor out front when the door opened and Patty walked in carrying a box. She gave John a dirty look and walked right past him toward the back.
"Patty!" John followed behind her. "Wait up!"
She turned around. "Look I'm busy! Harold asked me to drop off this amp that I borrowed for Scandal to use! I don't have anything to say to you and I quit this house band this morning!"
"What you can't quit Patty! You need the money!"
"I can't be around you Johnny not after what we did and how it didn't matter to you at all!"
"It does matter to me Patty, but it just shouldn't have happened. I was so drunk and you kept coming on to me. I never lied to you. You knew I was in love with Ashley and if she finds out about this it will kill her. She's been hurt so much and I promised her, that I wouldn't ever hurt her. Please don't say anything. I'm begging you Patty!" John looked at her a little teary eyed. He had to get her to understand.
"Why don't I matter to you like that? I used to Johnny?"
"I'm sorry. You still matter to me Patty. I'm just in love with somebody else. She means everything in the whole world to me."
"But Johnny you were into it! When you let yourself go you wanted it just as much as I did!" She argued, tired of listening to how much he loved Ashley.
"No! No! I wasn't into it! I wasn't ever sick! I just wanted to end it! I wasn't into it! I mean obviously a part of me was! But the part that counts, my heart was not into it. I'm sorry, it went that far. I'm sorry you wanted more. But Patty my heart is already taken. And I just felt so damn guilty I couldn't even see it through. I hope you understand.
Richie walked in instantly knowing he was interrupting something and stood beside John.
She looked over at Richie pissed off knowing John had already told him they had slept together. "What are you looking at? Standing there judging me!" She hissed at Richie.
"Look, don't take your anger out on me! I don't give a damn who you sleep with!"
Patty was furious. She cut her eyes at back to John. "I knew you couldn't wait to tell him!" She yelled almost in tears.
"Tell him what?" John heard coming from behind him and turn around with his heart about to beat out of his chest, to find Ashley standing there waiting for an answer.
"What's going on John?" Ashley asked. Wondering what the hell Patty was talking about.
