Chapter 40: One Last Kiss

Ashley turned toward the water and started breathing in the salty Ocean air that reminded her so much of home. She still hadn't decided what to do. John took his jacket off and laid it down. And him standing here looking so damn gorgeous wasn't helping her make a decision.

"Ashley please look at me."

"No I can't." She shook her head.

John ripped his sunglasses off.  "Why not? Why the hell can't you at least look at me?" He asked her getting frustrated.

"Because I won't be able to leave you standing here on this beach alone, if I look into those dreamy blue eyes of yours."

"So that's it! You've decided it's over. You're not even giving us a chance! What are you so damn afraid of?"

"The way you make me feel when I'm with you. I have these feelings for you, that I've never felt before and it scares the hell out of me! But I'm also afraid of letting my Father down. I may have not always gotten along with my Mom but my Dad has always been there for me John!

"So it is your Father! Come on Ashley forget about him right now please!" He grabbed her and turned her around and she looked up at him. "Do you think I don't love you? Because I love you more than anything! I did all this for you!" Moving out, the apartment, all the damn furniture! Every bit of it was for you! I even walked away from my family, for you!"

"And maybe you shouldn't have! John this is just speeding things up a little. If you get that record deal and go out touring, we will be here again. But you will be telling me long distance relationships don't work out and we should take a break!"

"Is that what you think? I'll forget about you out on the road? I'm not Bret! I would have moved heaven and earth to find you!"

"Stop! Don't bring him up!" She yelled getting angry.

"Why? You would never be here telling Bret, the very same shit, you are standing here telling me!" He yelled trying to get through to her.

"That's not fair! Bret has nothing to do with this!"

"I think maybe he does! You are starting that damn job with him Monday and maybe now I am just in the way! I know you never really got over him! You try to hide it, but I fucking know it's true!"

"If this is what you want to talk about, I'm out of here!" She turned around to leave.

He grabbed her arm. "No we're not done! You are not running from from the damn truth!"

"Worry about your own damn truth John! You and Patty are working together! I'm sure that's digging up plenty of old memories up for you!"

"You know it wasn't my idea to work with her. I don't want to be anywhere around her! I wouldn't get back with Patty, even if I had never met you!"

"I don't believe you! And what about Dorothea, you and her are off and on all the damn time! Maybe she's your real true love!"

"Hell no, I never had with Dot what I have with you!"

"I hate that you call her that, Dot! It drives me insane, that you have some sweet little pet name for that bitch!" She hissed out really getting pissed off about it.

"There she is." Jon smiled. "My little hell cat! You're jealous and all fired up! Sex with you right now would be unreal! Right here, right on this beach, with the sun beaming down on us!" He smiled.

"Stop it John!" She yelled.

"Why? You don't want to be reminded we slept together! Well we did! When we made love our souls intertwined and you became a part of me! Of all the girls I've ever been with, you are the only damn one that holds my heart in the palm of your hands. If you are really set on dumping me, please know you are really going to fuck up my world! You are every damn thing to me. You are the sun in the sky, you are the ground under my feet, you are every fucking breath, I take! I can't make it with out you! Is it commitment you want? Because I love you that damn much! I'll get down on my  knee right now! I'll marry you tomorrow if that's what you want!"

"Don't say that!"

"Why not? I love you that much Ashley! Maybe that's the problem! You damn well  know you don't love me that much!" He turned toward the water. The sea breeze blowing back his long flowing hair. "Just forget it!" He yelled and picked up his jacket and started walking back toward the apartment. She was standing there watching him walk away. She felt like her heart was breaking. He sat down on the curb.

She knew she was hurting him and she couldn't stand to watch it. She walked over to him.

"How can you say that to me John? You damn well know how much I love you. I wouldn't have ever made love with you, if I didn't."

He stood up and walked over to her on the sand. "Kiss me!" He commanded.

"Huh?"

"Yes one last kiss. If this is the end of us, I want one last kiss from you."

"Okay." She replied hesitantly.

John knew his whole world was hanging on this one kiss and he planned to make it the best one she ever had.

As he looked at her, the hurt in her eyes was only matched by the pain in his. He gently started kissing her. Letting his tongue show her what he was running out of words to say. He took her into his arms and kissed her so long and hard she felt her heart jump as she realized there was no way in hell she could leave him. As his tongue swirled gently and passionately she drifted back to the first time they made love. It was perfect. Just like him. She had to fight for him. No matter what, he was her destiny.

He pulled back and looked in her eyes. "Are you still leaving me? Or do you need some more proof how much I love you? I mean I can throw you down right here in this sand and make passionate love to you, but I don't think all these people out here will appreciate looking at my lily white ass!" He chuckled and she giggled.

"No just save it for tonight." She smiled.

"Really? He grinned. "You're not leaving me?"

"Was it the kiss? I knew you couldn't resist it. I really poured my heart into it."

"No I can't say goodbye to you. I'm scared John. I've never went against my Father like this before and he's not going to like it."

"It will be okay baby. I'll be here for you." He smiled at her.

"I really need to get my car. My Granddaddy gave it to me, it's in my name. He really has no right to keep it from me!"

"We'll get back for you. When does he work again?"

"He has to go to in tonight until 12:00 to cover for a supervisor that is coming in late."

"That will give us enough time to find your keys and for you to get your stuff."

"Oh my God! Are we really doing this? Moving in together is a big step! Are you really sure John?"

"Yep there is nobody else in this world, I'd rather live with than you baby. So come on, let's go back to our new home."

"Okay." She replied as they held hands and walked back across the road to the apartment.

When they walked in they noticed Tico and David were there.

"Damn we were just about to send a damn search party looking for you. Tico grinned opening a beer.

"We're back." John announced looking at Richie. "Hey help me get some of the chairs off the patio." He grabbed two beers and walked outside.

"Okay." Richie got up and followed John.

"What's up?" He asked sitting down in one of the chairs.

John just shook his head. "She came here to break up with me." He opened one of the beers and took a big swig of it.

"Are you serious? Why?"

"Her Dad told her she had to."

"Damn, are you guys okay now?"

"Yeah, I talked her out of it. She's moving in here with me."

"Okay good." Richie replied taking a drag of his cigarette.

"We've got to go over to her house later and let her pack some of her shit and find her car keys. Her Dad hid them from her, but it's her damn car. Her Grandpa bought it for her and it's in her name."

"Okay I can go and help you find the keys."

"Good she really wants it back."

"Do you think he's going to be pissed? Randy's a bigg ass dude!"

"I don't know, but he's not  leaving us any other choice. I can't lose her."

"Okay. I'll be there, whatever I can do to help."

Ashley walked outside.

"Hey roomie." Richie smiled taking a drag of his cigarette and looking up at her.

"Hey." She replied sitting down.

"So your biting the bullet and moving in with Johnny and me huh?"

"Yeah I guess I am." She replied with a smile.

"Nope just me because you ain't staying here everyday Richie!" John insisted.

"Well he has a lot of bad habits you should know about."

"Oh God not this shit!" John chuckled. "Don't believe a word he says! His a habitual liar!"

"Okay." Ashley grinned looking at Richie. "Like what?" She asked.

"Well he snores a whole hell of a lot for one thing." He chuckled.

"I do not!" John chimed in.

"Okay." She replied.

"He hogs the toilet!" Richie laughed. "He gets the runs 5 or 6 times a day!"

"He's a liar Ashley! You're such a damn liar! John pretended to choke him.

"Really? Oh my God John!" She shook her head and giggled.

"Yep and one more digusting thing." Richie chuckled. "He farts uncontrollably."

She laughed. Oh my Lord, I think I've changed my mind."

"Don't listen to him baby, it's all lies. He's the one that farts uncontrollably." John laughed. "Here have a beer. He opened a can of Budweiser and gave it to her. "Your going to need it to put up with this asshole. He laughed.

"Thanks." She opened it and started sipping it.

"Hey doesn't Dave's apartments next door have a big ass pool?" John asked looking at Richie.

"Yeah, it does. Let's go check it out." Richie replied standing up.

"Do you want to Ashley?"

"Okay I'll go."

Okay  let me go change in to my shorts. John stood up walking to his room to grab his cut off blue jean shorts and put them on.

"He went back in the living room. "Do you guys want to walk over to the apartments next door? There's a nice pool over there."

"Yeah let's go." David replied and Tico agreed.

They walked around to the backside of the apartments and slide through a broken section of privacy fence. They walked up to Dave's door and knocked.

"Hey guys what's up?" Dave asked pulling the door open.

"Nothing man just thought you'd want to say hi to your new neighbors."

"Cool man where'd you move to

The apartments next door. Top left corner, number 12.

"I'll have to come check it out sometime."

 "We thought, we'd come check out your pool. We don't have one."

"Go ahead we got out a little while ago. The water's perfect."

"Okay we'll catch you later." They walked outside and opened the pool gate and went in.

John laid down on a chaise lounge chair and took off his favorite Aerosmith t-shirt and threw it on the ground.

Ashley stood by the chair next to him and took off her top and shorts.

"Damn I didn't know you had your bikini on  underneath your clothes baby."

"Yeah in case we went to the beach." She laid down and closed her eyes getting some sun.

Richie got in the water. And a couple of girls got in and started talking to him.

Ashley got up and sat down on the edge of the pool by Stacey and put her feet in the water.

"I knew you wouldn't be able to breakup with him." Stacey smiled at her.


"I just wanted to keep the peace with my Dad. I knew I was in trouble when I looked into those gorgeous blue eyes of his. They melt me like butter. He kissed me and I was a goner."

"What are you girls talking about?" John walked over and sat down by Ashley.

"You and your sexy eyes." Ashley smiled at him.

"Damn it Ashley, don't feed that ego of his!" Richie laughed. "He's already stuck on himself. You will just make him worse." Richie laughed.

"Screw you man." John laughed and kicked some water at Richie's face with his foot.

David and Tico walked out to the pool from Dave's apartment and John stood up. He was talking to them when they both  grabbed him and pushed him in the water. He came up slinging water at them with his hands. "Damn it! Do you know how damn long I worked on my hair!" John yelled and continued splashing them.

As he was goofing around in the water and he didn't notice the two blondes that walked up watching him in the pool. "Hey Johnny."

John and Richie looked up and both started smiling.

"Richie spoke first. "What about me? You two girls can't even speak to me?"

"Hi Richie." Debbie spoke and turned back toward John. "I can't believe you would show up here and not come by my apartment to see me."

Ashley was sitting there watching this and not liking it at all. She was growing angrier by the second.

"We just came over to swim. What have you ladies been up two?" John asked running his hands through his wet hair trying to tame it.

"Working at the club mostly. Haven't seen you in a while. You guys can come by when you get out. We are barbecuing on the patio. We have beer. Rachel announced sitting down in a lounge chair.

"No I'm here with my girlfriend. "Ashley this is Debbie and Rachel."

"Hey." Ashley smiled and greeted them but she really wanted to slap the fake smiles off their faces.

"You should come with Johnny over to our place. We have a ton of food and beer."

Ashley looked at John. "We need to go get my stuff remember?"

"We could just go by their place just for a little bit." He grinned.

"You can. I'm going to get my stuff!"

"Sorry girls, not today." John smiled.

"Aww damn, well don't be a stranger Johnny. You know where I live." Debbie smiled looking at him as she walked away with John was still smiling watching her.

"Come on Stacey let's go back to the apartment. Ashley stood up grabbing her clothes up off a chair and started walking.

"Ashley, hold up." John got out of the pool and hurried over to her.

"What? I am going back to the apartment! You can do whatever the hell you want to!" Ashley yelled and stopped beside the pool gate.

John smiled. "Come on Ash. You're not seriously jealous of that girl are you?"

"Of course I am with you flirting with her right in my damn face!"

"I wasn't flirting, I was just talking to her. There's a difference you know?"

"Not when you're talking to a girl there's not. It seems like all you do is flirt!"

"Damn it Ashley! Forget about that girl!"

"Well answer me one damn question then!"

"Okay shoot."

"Did you ever have sex with that girl Debbie?"

Chapter 39: Please Don't Leave Me

"I need to go home and change my clothes."

"Okay Ash, I'll be over there in about 20 minutes."

"I'll be ready."

Ashley walked in her front door and her Dad was sitting on the couch.

"Come in here Ash, I need to talk to you."

"Okay but Stacey is picking me up soon to go to the mall. I don't want to fight with you, if it's about John again!"

"Well Stacey can wait. I know you're mad at me because I locked all the phones up and took away your car keys. But I am trying to keep you from getting hurt again honey. You don't understand how guys think, and how they will tell you anything to get what they want! He may be telling you he's so in love with you, but he's probably stringing several girls along."

"Not John Dad! He really loves me!"

"I remember how it was with Bret and how I begged you to leave that punk alone! How you got so mad when girls chased after him right in front of you! And how you moped around for months after he left you, without even a phone call! Did you forget how you cried your eyes out when you read that magazine article, where he was photographed with the two blondes in New Orleans the day after he left Biloxi!"

"I don't want to talk about Bret!"

"Well what do you think this kid, John is up to behind your back?"

"I trust John!"

"Don't be so naive, Ashley. Even I have seen, this kid has a lot of girls hanging around him! That's what the life with a musician is like. A woman in the background being treated like garbage while they do whatever they want with every woman around!"

"Those girls are just fans of his music. I am grown Daddy. I can deal with whatever I have to, to be with John!"

"I know you think so. But he will break your heart and it's only a matter of time! And what if he never makes a career out of his music? All these want to be rock stars have two things in common, no real job or money and I want more than that for you! You deserve better than a long haired bum that can't even support himself! I had hoped this thing between y'all would have played out by now. But from what his Mom told me, you are getting too serious with this little punk! I can't let you see that boy anymore! I want you to end things with him! And I don't want you dating anymore damn muscians!"

Her eyes were filling with tears. "But Daddy I love him. I can't live without him!"

"You just think that now. You'll meet somebody else and you won't give John Bongiovi another thought."

"No Dad I can't break up with him! You can't make me!"

"Ashley now I don't want to hear that! You are still living under my roof and I'm your Father. You will respect what I'm saying. Now I think this kid is bad news, and I want you to get rid of him! If not I might just have to pack everything up and take you back home to Mississippi!"

"You can't do that!"

"Just watch me!"

"You don't understand what he means to me! I hate you!" She cried, running upstairs to her room.


Stacey knocked on the door. Randy ripped it open quickly, thinking maybe it was John.

"Hey unk."

"Hey Stacey. I'm going to let Ash go with you, but you better not be taking her to meet that damn boy! You understand?"

"Yes sir, I promise. I am just going to the mall shopping for a new outfit for the concert next week."

"Okay that's fine. She's upstairs sulking. You can go on up."

"Thanks."

Stacey walked upstairs and lightly knocked.

"What?" Ashley's voice cracked as she was sniffling.

"It's me, let me in!"

"I probably can't go with you. He just raunched down on me about John again."

"Oh but you can, I promised him, I wouldn't take you to see your lover boy." She giggled.

"That's so not funny. Are you still taking me to the apartment?"

"Of course, do you even have to ask?"

 "Thanks. Have I told you how much I love you lately, sweet cousin of mine?" She smiled wiping her eyes.

"Nope but you can tell me on the way."

As they walked down the stairs her Dad was standing at the door.  "I know you're mad at me,  but take my credit card in case you find something you want to buy Ashley. I do love you and I really want what's best for you."

She grabbed the card but didn't speak to her father.

They walked out to the Jeep.

"I need to stop at Shop Rite first." Ashley announced getting in.

"Okay, what for?"

"John spent his whole check getting the apartment. They don't have any food, so I'm going to stop and buy them some, compliments of my Dad." She smiled holding up her Dad's credit card."

"Uncle Randy's gonna have a fit!"

"He won't even notice."

They pulled in at the grocery store and got out of the Jeep.

"Does Johnny even know you're doing this?Stacey asked Ashley walking into the store.

"No I'm surprising him. Grab that buggy, Stace."

"Okay." She pushed it over to her. Ashley started picking out things, she hoped John  would like and definitely needed and tossed them in.

As they walked through the store she added a lot more stuff.

"God Ash are you trying to feed an army?"

"Maybe, I just want to make sure they have enough."

"Oh I think they will." Stacey giggled.

They rounded the beer isle last and she grabbed a case of Budweiser. She knew what beer John loved but seldom could afford and she didn't want him drinking the cheap stuff tonight in his new apartment.

They paid for all the stuff and loaded it in the car and headed toward Bradley Beach.

They found the street number on the front of the building and saw John's car. This must be it." She smiled.

They parked and got out and walked up the stairs and knocked.

Richie came to the door. "Hello ladies."

"Come on in and check out our new pleasure palace!" He pulled the door open and motioned for them to come in.

"Oh Wow the furniture is already here!" Ashley smiled looking around.

"Yep fresh off the truck."

"Where's John?" She asked.

"I don't know he left with some hot chick he met out on the beach." Richie looked at her as serious as he could be.

"I'm right here, don't listen to this asshole."

He smiled and made a fist and lightly punched Richie upside his head and walked over to Ashley from the bedroom. "I know it's not much, but how do you like it?"

"It looks great, I love it." She smiled looking around.

"A few things were already here. The bar stools and the entertainment center and some pots and pans and stuff, but the other stuff I rented.

"Aww it all looks good John."

"Don't I get a hug." He grinned at her.

"Yes you most definitely do."

He opened his arms and she walked over to him and they hugged and just held on to each other. Then he leaned down and kissed her and as he was really getting into it she pulled away. He wondered, what was up with her, but he didn't say anything.

"I bought you some groceries can you help us bring them up?"

"Oh Ashley, you didn't have to do that! But I'm so glad you did. I'm starving! He laughed. "We'll get the stuff, come on Richie."

Richie and John came back with as much as they could carry and John went back for the case of beer.

"Damn baby, you thought of everything. Thank you. How did you pay for all this?"

"My Dad's credit card." She grinned.

"Seriously? He's going to kill you!" John laughed.

"I don't think he'll notice, we buy groceries there with the card all the time."

"Well thanks baby. It means a lot to me that you would do this for me."

"No problem. Do you want me to fix you something to eat?"

"Yeah a sandwich and chips would be great."

"Okay, I'll fix it. Richie do you want something?"

"No thanks, but I'll take a beer."

"Okay, here you go." She grabbed one out of the fridge for him.

John ate the food she fixed for him and looked up at her. "Let's go walk out on the beach."

"Okay."

"We'll be back." John looked at Richie and he picked up on he wanted to be alone with her. "Okay man, we'll be here."

John and Ashley held hands crossing the street.

"I love the view, this is so beautiful." She smiled looking around.

"Not as beautiful as you are."

"Thanks. She looked away and had a little sadness in her eyes, that he picked up on.

"Whats the matter?"

"Nothing really."

"There's something going on! You pulled away when I kissed you, earlier and you're avoiding eye contact with me now! I need you to be straight with me Ash!"

"My Dad told me I have to end things with you."

"What? I can't believe this shit! You are 18 years old! He can't go around picking your damn friends or boyfriends for you anymore! You're too damn old for that shit! It's up to you! What do you want?"

"It doesn't matter what I want. Things have gotten so complicated.  I tried to do things the right way. I didn't want to sleep around. I wanted to be totally in love, the first time I made love and I was, with you. And being with you felt so right.  But I will never get over my first time being filmed. I get sick to my stomach thinking about people watching that damn tape! Now our parents know we're having sex! And your Mom hates me! My Dad doesn't want me with you! We are hurting the people we love the most! I just think maybe us being together was a." John cut her off.

"Don't you say it! Us being together could never be a mistake!"

"I'm sorry John but I think your life would be easier if I wasn't in it! You had to move out of your own house! I don't want you fighting with your family over me. I just don't think it's going to work out between us." She teared up and looked away."

He grabbed her and turned her around. "Oh no you don't! You're not giving up on us, just because things have gotten a little hard! You said you loved me no matter what! This isn't you talking, it's your damn Father!"

"You don't understand John. My Dad said he would make me go back home to Mississippi! And I do love you and I always will, nothing could ever change that!"

"He can't make you go! You can move in with me! I'll take care of you! You don't need your Dad!"

"We hardly know each other John! I don't know if living together would work out! And he's my Father!"

"So what are you saying?  I don't give a shit what your Dad thinks. I love you too damn much! Don't let it end like this! Ashley please don't leave me!"

Chapter 38: Our Own Place On The Beach

Side note*   This is Jon's real 1st apartment. And the driveway where they shot the car wash photos for Slippery When Wet. Now the apartments and driveway have been totally redone.

As John walked away from Ashley's house, the sight of her crying was stuck in his head. He couldn't remember anything ever making him, as angry as he was right this minute. As he stepped closer to his house he knew one thing, he was sick of his Mother's shit.

He grabbed the front door and slung it open and headed straight for the kitchen, where she usually was sitting at the table drinking coffee.

She looked up and saw the anger in his eyes. "Oh don't come in here looking at me like that!" Carol grinned and hissed at John. "I warned you to stay away from that girl! It's your own fault you drug her over here!"

"What are you grinning about? Is my damn life just a game to you? Do you even know what you just did over there? I just had to leave the girl, I love in tears, because you are such a vindictive Bitch!"

"What did you just say to me? Your very own Mother? Is that the thanks I get for looking out for your best interests? You must be delirious, and I wouldn't be standing in your shoes when your Father gets home! You better apologize right now if you know what's good for you!"

"No I won't! You had no right to go over there and tell that shit to her Dad! You hurt that man so much! He loves his daughter and it must have killed him to know we had sex together! I thought he was going to shoot me!"

"You can't see it Johnny but she's not right for you! And since you can't stop yourself from jumping in bed, with her every chance you get, I had to do something! You are going to get her pregnant and that would ruin any chance you have of getting a record deal! I draw the line at paying for a child that I have warned you, you don't need! And one that you really couldn't be sure was yours anyway!" She hissed and this one stung like a slap to his face.

"You can say whatever the hell you want to say about me, but I'm not going to listen to you bad mouthing Ashley! She hasn't done shit to you! I keep telling you this and you just don't hear it! Ashley was a virgin! I begged her to have sex with me! I am the only guy she has ever been with and if she is pregnant right now, you better believe it's damn well my child!" He yelled and wasn't holding back his anger.

"Are you trying to get tied down and stuck with this girl? Does she have you so brainwashed that you seriously think that you want to be with that bleached blonde slut for the rest of your life?"

"You stop it! Stop talking about her like that! When are you going to understand that I love her and she loves me?"

Johnny you don't even know what love is! You are too young! Now please just drop this! I wish her Dad would load her ass up and take her back to Alabama, where she came from!"

"Mississippi Ma, that's where she's from!"

"Well wherever, some hick place where they have no morals, I'm sure! You deserve so much better Johnny! Hell I'd rather see you with anybody other than her. She is just using you, son!"

"Using me for what? I don't have shit! I am damn lucky she even looked my way. Ashley is the most beautiful girl that I have ever laid my eyes on and the minute I saw her I prayed that one day she would be mine! So no, you have it wrong! I am damn lucky she wants to be with me and if she would marry me tomorrow I would do it in a heartbeat, before she changed her mind!"

"No now don't talk crazy, that is not the kind of girl you want to marry. You need a good loyal Jersey girl. She couldn't make you happy! You would get sick of her and that damn horrible accent, eventually!"

"I would never get sick of her! I love her! I'd do anything for her. Hell I bailed out of a two story window yesterday, just so she wouldn't get in trouble!"

"That's how you hurt your damn foot! What kind of spell does she have you under? You could have killed yourself! And that's exactly what I mean. She had you in the bed at her house and then I caught you two over here in bed again! Can't you see she's trying to get pregnant! She wants a Bongiovi baby, so when you make it big she can cash in!"

"Well maybe it's me! Maybe I hope I get her pregnant so she's stuck with me! Maybe I'll tell her to stop taking the pill and see just how fast I can knock her up?"

"Oh you better not! Wait she told you she's on the pill! That's the oldest lie in the book, on how to trap a man! That little bitch is not living here with me when she finally gets herself pregnant!"

"Don't worry! Nobody wants to live here with you! Probably not even Dad if he's really honest!"

"You ungrateful little shit, all the stuff that I do for you and you would pick some little piece of trash over your own Mother. Your very own flesh and blood?"


"You did this Ma! You went after the girl I love for no damn reason! She is everything to me! And you hurt her so much! I won't ever be able to forgive you for what you did today!"

Well we are going to make some changes around here, Mr smart mouth! No more money, I'm cutting you off! Need gas, tough! Need money for band stuff, tough! I am going to teach you about popping that smart mouth off to me about your little whore!"

John stood up. He had a look on his face she had never seen before and truth was it scared her a little.

"I don't need anything from you, Carol! I'm out of here!" He ran upstairs and started throwing stuff in a duffle bag. He packed it full and grabbed his two guitars and ran down to his car and threw them in the trunk. Then he went back and got a few more things and his stereo and a radio. He hauled them down stairs and threw them in the 280. He walked over to Ashley's and stared up at her window. There was no sign of her. He cranked up his motorcycle that he had left there earlier and she ran over to the window. He motioned for her to open it and turned off his bike.

"Come down here." He pointed down, looking at her.

"I can't." She replied looking down at him.

"Meet me at the Fast Lane later." He looked up at her wishing he could take her pain away. "Please." He added and pleaded with his eyes at her.

"I will if I can." She shut the window.

John drove his bike over to the side of his house and parked it. He got in his car and drove off, hoping Richie was home.

He pulled up at Richie's and knocked. Richie answered. "Will you come and look at apartments with me? Ashley can't go?"

"Yeah, I can. Hold up let me get my cigarettes."

He walked out and saw all John's stuff. "Damn are you living in your car Johnny?"

"I guess. I couldn't stay there another minute. My Mom told Ash's Dad we are sleeping together and he wants me to stay the hell away from her. I can't do that!"

"Man I'm sorry. What are you going to do?"

"Come on let's go over to Bradley Beach and look at a couple of places. I've got to find somewhere for us to be together."

"Okay let's go. They pulled up at 209 Ocean Avenue and got out.

David Sabo lived in the apartments next door and told him about this one that was a available for 275.00 a month. The price sounded right.

They went to the office marked manager and a young lady was behind the desk. "Hi I'm Rebecca, can I help you?"

"Yes I heard you have an apartment for rent and I'd like to look at it."

"Okay sure follow me." She smiled. "Are you guys in a band or something?"

"Yeah we are. We play at the Fast Lane and some other clubs." He smiled following her up stairs to the apartment on the end in the corner.

She opened the door and they walked in. It had a good sized living room and a small kitchen. 2 bathrooms and 2 bedrooms. And a little patio on the back. But what he loved most of all it was being right across from the beach.

"The lights and water are included." Rebecca informed him.

 All of that and it's 275.00 a month?" John asked hoping it was right.

"Yes 275.00 And a 275.00 deposit."

"Okay well I really want it, but I didn't know I had to pay a deposit today. And I don't have enough. I won't get paid again until next Friday.

"Well yes the manager expects you to have it, I'm just the assistant manager. She's not here right now, she had to go to the dentist."

"Well damn, is there anyway to bend the rules. I have all my stuff out in my car and nowhere to go. John looked at her with sad puppy dog eyes.

"How much do you have?"

"I only have 150.00." John responded and looked disappointed.

"Well wait a minute. Your rent would be prorated for this month. So it would be 170.00."

Richie dug in his pocket for a twenty. "Here you go man."

"Thanks." John smiled taking the money.

"When could you have the deposit."

"Next Friday."

"Okay I am feeling generous. I will go ahead and let you move in. But you have to pay the deposit, Friday, no matter what!"

"I will I promise." John was grinning from ear to ear. He couldn't believe he was about to sign papers on his own apartment.

"Okay I need your driver's license. Is anybody going to live here with you?"

"Maybe my girlfriend, but right now it's just me."

"Okay. This is your rental agreement. And this just says you agree to pay me the deposit 275.00 next Friday. Here's your keys and a list of rules and regulations. I think that's it. Well I hate you didn't get to meet Angela, but maybe she will be here next time."

"Yeah sure, thanks." John walked out with his keys and headed up to his new place with Richie following him.

"Hot damn we have an apartment!" Richie chuckled walking in behind John.


"You mean I have an apartment." John corrected him.

"I paid twenty bucks of it!" Richie huffed.

"Okay you can have a square out on the patio." John laughed. "It would be nice if we had some food though. I'm hungry."

"You know if you let me move in, I could help you pay that 275.00 and I'm sure my Mom would want to make sure we had food to eat."

"Damn it! Okay, but anytime I want to be alone with Ash, you have to go. I don't want her feeling awkward in her own apartment."

"Okay but what if I have a girl over?"

We'll be working a lot. So you better do that shit while we are working."

"That's true! Okay roomie let's go get your shit out of the car."

They made a couple of trips and brought John's stuff in and sat it down.

"I'm going over to the Fast Lane later. I told Ash to meet me there."

"I bet her Dad won't let her go!" Richie spoke up setting the stereo down.

"She's 18, he can't stop her if she really wants to."

"He can take her fine ass car away."

"Shit, I hadn't thought about that."

"We need some beds. Maybe my Mom will let me have mine. And there might be another one in the garage. Let's go over there." Richie suggested.

As they pulled on Richie's street John saw Carol's car parked in the driveway.

"Nope we are not stopping there! Damn it!" John mashed the gas.

He drove over to Rent A Center. There was a sign hanging that read no money down and get delivery today. They got out.

He walked in and the sales girl ran over to him. Hi I'm Jackie can I help you?"

"We need some furniture for our apartment and we need it today."

Okay. We have everything you will need and some good deals right now. John picked out two beds and comforter sets,  a couch, and a couple of small tables and a little kitchen table.

"We can have this out to you in an hour."

"Oh great. He signed the paper and was out the door."

John stopped at the payphone outside to call Ashley. It rang five times and nobody picked up. "Damn it! Where is she?" He yelled slamming the phone down.

"Call Stacey's." Richie suggested.

"Damn it what's the last four of her number, 0235?

"No I think it's 0325. Richie corrected him."


"Hello."

"Stacey, hey it's John."

"Hey."

"I can't get in touch with Ash. We had it out with our parents today."

"Oh I know all about it, she's sitting right here." She giggled.

"Oh good can I talk to her?"

"Sure." She handed her the phone. "It's Romeo for you." She giggled.

"Hello."

"Hey baby are you okay?"

"Hey John. Yes I am fine. But my Dad took all the phones and locked them in his truck and took my car keys."

"Damn it. God I am so sorry. This shit is all my fault. If we hadn't gone to my house. But I got us our own place, on the beach."

"What?" She asked, thinking she must have heard him wrong.

"Yeah I just signed the papers for an apartment on Bradley Beach and I just left the furniture store. They are delivering all the furniture in an hour. I did all this for you baby. I want you to move in with me. We don't need our parents or nobody just us. You and me."

"And me tell her I'm moving in." Richie spoke up.

"Oh yeah and Richie's moving in part time."

"What?" Richie grumbled.

"Oh John." Her voice cracked.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing I just can't believe you have an apartment.

"He does?" Stacey asked with her eyes getting big.

"Yep and If we could get some food for the place everything would be perfect. But I spent everything I had on the rent. I'll figure something out. I want, hell I have to see you baby. Can Stacey bring you to me?"

"Yeah, where is it?"

It's 209 Ocean Street and it #12 up stairs in the corner. And Ash, don't get your hopes up. I know you deserve so much better, but it's just a flea bag apartment, but it's our flea bag apartment." He smiled as he said the words.

She smiled. "I will love it, whatever you picked out John. I love you."

"I love you too, come see me, get her to bring you now!" He was so excited to show it to her.

"Ok we've got to stop at the store, but we're coming."

"Okay bye babe."

"Bye John."

She hung up and looked at Stacey. "He wants us to go look at his new apartment."

"Okay, I've got to see this." Stacey grinned.

Chapter 37: Stay Away From My Daughter

John had been sitting in his room for a while listening to music.

He was feeling down and sort of depressed and retreating to his own little world. His phone started ringing, so he picked it up. "Hello."

"John, hey it's me. He's asleep now. I just heard him snoring." She informed him with a small giggle. "You can come over now. "

"Okay I'm on my way." He replied, but his thoughts were bogged down somewhere in the past. He grabbed the photo of him and Patty and tucked it in the old Rolling Stone magazine and slipped it back in his drawer.

He went downstairs and out the door. Ashley was standing at her door waiting for him. "Hey get in here." She pulled him inside and shut the door.

"I was beginning to think you had forgotten to call." He remarked, sitting down on a bench.

"Of course not. He just stayed up later than usual. I even told him, "Daddy you look tired, go to bed."

"Oh you little liar, remind me to punish you when we get upstairs."

"What makes you think we are going upstairs?"

"I see that look in your eyes, you want to have your way with me." He chuckled, trying to get out of the funk he was in.

"Really now? But aren't you wearing too many clothes for that?"

"Take me upstairs and  I won't be." He smiled.

She grabbed his hand and they disappeared to her room. She locked the door and lit a few candles. He watched her in the flickering light as she stood there. She was the most beautiful girl he had ever been with and he definitely loved her, but there was something in his mind tonight, he just couldn't shake.

"Are you okay John?"

"Yeah, why?"

"You just seem like you are a million miles away from me."

"No baby, I'm here." He reach over and pulled her shirt gently over her head. Next her white lacey bra had to go. "Damn you're beautiful, are you sure you're with the right guy?" He grinned.

Looking into his eyes she replied. "Of course I am. She grabbed for his hand and intertwined their fingers. "Do you even know how much I love you?"

"No. Show me." He smiled.

She grabbed his shirt and unbuttoned it and pulled it off. Then she fumbled with his button on his Levi's. He  pushed her hand away and unbuttoned them and slid them down his legs.  He laid back on her bed. His long hair flowing all around his face. He was visibly aroused still in his underwear. She laid down beside him. And she slowly kissed him. Her tongue was deep inside his mouth exploring every crevice when she opened her eyes to glance at the look on his face and she saw his eyes were open. He was trying to stay in the present and not close his eyes and drift away to somewhere in the past. He loved the way she kissed him so deeply. And her taking control was really turning him on.

She pulled at his underwear and he removed them and tossed them to the floor. She took him on her mouth and he groaned out loud and caught himself, forgetting for a second that her Dad was asleep in the very next room. "Sorry but it feels so damn good." He whispered and moaned softly grabbing her hair and controlling how deeply she sucked his cock. He pushed her head to the limit and damn near shot off right then and there, in her mouth. She was so good at this, it was really blowing his mind. A lot of girls gave him head before, but he usually had to coach them through it and he gasped when they used their damn teeth. It hurt like hell and he hated it.

"Damn Ashley, it feels so good baby." But when she started going a little deeper and she sped up, he grabbed her head and stopped her. "No baby, I don't want to cum yet."

She laid down beside him. It was killing him to know where she had learned to suck his dick so damn well. But he didn't want to start a most definite fight. So he let it go, for now. She ran her fingers back and forth, rubbing his fuzzy chest hair that felt so soft and furry between her fingers. "I love you John. I am so happy with you."

"I love you too baby." He started kissing her. Taking total control with his hot tongue. He moved on top of her and intertwined his fingers with hers on both hands. He rubbed his fully aroused cock against her skin tight jeans and she moaned at the anticipation of him being fully inside her again. She wanted him so badly. He slid between her legs and started grinding and rubbing  against her jeans and it felt so good she moaned out. "Oh my God John." She wrapped her legs around his nicely round, bare ass, and he got a little faster. Her bed squeaked a little so he stopped.

He unbuttoned her jeans and slid them off. Only red lace panties were left. He slid between her legs again. The head of his cock rubbing against the lace. She could feel the heat coming off if him and it was driving her insane. He couldn't take it anymore he pulled the lace to the side and slid himself into her hot wet heat.

His eyes rolled back and he moaned. "Ashley, oh baby you feel so good. God you're so hot." He gently moved his hips and pushed into her so deeply. Her heated core surrounded his dick.  H really got off on the fact that nobody else had ever been inside her before like this, but him.  He sped up and the bed squeaked. He was so into it he didn't even care. They were going at it for a while, when her moaning got louder and he was sure she was about to cum. He gave a final thrust as he couldn't take it any more when her muscles tightened around his dick like a vice, tugging so hard. She yelled, "Oh my God John." Then he cried out in such pleasure. "Oh fuck Ashley." as he spilled his hot load deep inside her and fell on top of her out of breath. "God I love you Ashley." He whispered in her ear as he slid on the bed beside her.

"I love you too." She smiled at him.

"I think we got too loud. I got carried away, but it felt so damn good." He mumbled catching his breath.

"I got carried away too, but my Dad can sleep through a hurricane."

"Good I don't want him to kick my ass for corrupting his daughter." He chuckled.

"Yeah his sweet, innocent, blue eyed little girl. He might just kill you." She laughed.

He stood up and put his clothes back on just in case. So she got up and put her clothes back on too.

"I wish we had our own place so we could make love anytime we wanted to and we wouldn't have to sneak around." He had such a serious look on his face.

"Well with your new job, you will make enough to move out if you really want to."

"Would you want to move out with me Ash?"

"I don't know John. We haven't been together that long  and it's such a big step."

"Not really. We love each other and we want to be together. So what would it hurt? I'd love to wake up with you every day."

"Maybe just let me think about it."

"Okay. There's some apartments over in Bradley Beach that I know I could afford."

"If I move in I could help you pay for it."

"No I want to take care of you. I don't want you spending your money on it."

"That's sweet John, but I insist on helping out if I move in."

"No." He grabbed her and laid her down and laid down beside her.

"I have other plans for you. And ways for you to earn your keep." He grinned. "You might just end up being my sex slave."

"Oh Lord." She giggled.

He leaned over and started kissing her. They were really getting in to the kiss. When they heard a door slam.

"Oh my God it's my Dad!" She whispered frantically.

John jumped up and went over by the window and opened it, looking down.


"What are you doing? Are you crazy? You can't jump out there!" She yelled at him in a whisper.

"I can't let your Dad find me in here baby!"

He went out the window and grabbed a trellis but half way down he fell off and landed on his side.

Ashley stood at the window horrified. "John are you okay?"

"Yeah. He sat up with the wind knocked out of him. She flew down the stairs and opened the door and ran over to him.

"Damn it, it's further down than it looks." He smiled at her.

"Oh my God, you could have killed your fool self John Bongiovi!" She yelled, grabbing him in a hug, so happy he was alright.

"I'm fine."

"How is you head?"

"He reached back and felt the scab on the back of his head. "It's okay, it's not bleeding."

"Good. Here let me help you up."

She pulled his arms and he stood. When he took a step he buckled a little from his right ankle. It was a little tender.

Her Dad opened the door. "It's late Ash, come inside."

"John came over to tell me goodnight and tripped and twisted his ankle. I'm going to help him home."

"Okay." He went back inside.

She put his arm around her and walked with him to his house. It really wasn't as bad as she thought. But he loved the attention. They walked in and it seemed everyone had already gone to bed. She helped him up stairs and sat with him on the bed.

"Stay with me Ash."

"I can't. My Dad is probably waiting up for me."

"Come on I need somebody to take care of me." He grinned.

"Let me go see if he went back to bed."

"Are you really coming back?"

"If I can, I will."

She hurried home and as she walked up stairs she heard her Dad snoring, down the hall. She grabbed her keys and locked the door and headed to John's for a little while, to check on him.

She opened the door and saw John standing on one leg at the top of the stairs.

"Get up here he whispered."

She went in his room and he locked the door behind her. They laid down on the bed. He began kissing her.

"Are you really hurt?"

"Yes it's hurting so much he unbuttoned his shirt and pulled it off and lifted hers over her head. He reached around and had her bra off in a few seconds.

"John we can't. Your Mom might hear us."

"She's asleep, she won't hear nothing, we can be quiet."

He pulled his pants and underwear off. He yanked the covers over them. He kissed her lips slowly and then worked his way down her body. He arrived at the button on her jeans and unbuttoned them and slid them off. Here she was again just like he liked her in a thin pair of lace panties. He spread her legs apart and started to lick her clit through her panties. " Oh my God." She moaned and he slid the lace out of his way and sucked her clit harder and she cried out. He gently put his hand over her mouth to muffle her. He was enjoying watching her squirm.

All of a sudden a knock at his door.

"Johnny is somebody  in your room?"

"Oh my God It's your Mom!" She whispered and scrambled for her clothes.

"No there's nobody in here, Mom. Go away, I'm sleeping."

"You open this door now!" She pushed up against the door really hard and it popped open and there stood Ashley holding her shirt up over her chest trying to cover herself."

"Oh my God what in the hell are you doing in here under my roof. With your brothers in the next room! Do you not have any respect for yourself or your family Johnny?"

Then she turned to Ashley. "And what about you, running around seducing boys? Are you trying to get yourself pregnant? Do you know what Johnny would have to give up,  if you came up prenant?"

"Ma leave her alone! I already told you! Ashley hasn't slept around! I was her first! It was all my idea for her to come up here and if she came up pregnant I would love her and our baby!"

"You get out of my damn house!" She yelled looking at Ashley.

Ashley looked at John. "I'm sorry."

"Ash don't go!"

"I have to." She stood up and slid her shirt back on then she pulled her pants up.

"Now you go home and I will be in touch to tell your Father what his daughter has been up to!"

"Mrs. Bongiovi, please don't say anything to my Dad!"

"Ma! Don't you dare tell her Dad! I asked her to come up here with me!"

"You stay out of this Johnny!" Carol yelled.

"Now Ashley you have done enough! Stay the hell away from my son and get out of my house!"

"Ma! Don't talk to her like that!"

John wanted to jump up but he was naked and he didn't want to give his mother an eyeful.

Ashley had tears streaming down her face as she ran down the stairs, and out the door to the safety of her home. She was mortified. She unlocked the door and ran to her room wishing she hadn't gone over to John's house tonight, at all.

"What in the hell were you thinking bringing that little tramp up here?"

"Don't call her that! I love her!"

"Love her? You don't even know her! Those southern girls like to stay barefoot and pregnant! And I am warning you not to mess with her anymore! I won't give you any  money, I'll take both of your cars away, I won't even let you play at the damn Fast Lane anymore! If you mess with me!"

"I am eighteen years old Ma, you can't stop me!"

"You go to bed! Before I kick you out of my damn house too!"

"No I ain't a little kid to get pushed around anymore! I love Ashley and she loves me! And if you don't like that, tough!" He yelled, back at her.

"While you are under my roof, you will do what I say!"

"Well I guess I won't be under your roof much longer!" John pulled his sheet around him and went into his bathroom and slammed the door to cool off. Carol left and went back to her room.

This was it! The final straw and he was tired of their rules and demands. He was going to look at apartments tomorrow. He went back in his room and tried to call Ashley, but it just rang and rang. He finally went to sleep with the phone, still in his hand.

John woke up running late. He showered and used his right foot lightly. The ankle was a little worse today. He got dressed and finally got his shoes on and walked out to the motorcycle. He looked over at Ashley's. He wanted to talk to her, but he couldn't. He didn't have time. He jumped on the bike and started down the road for the Galaxy. Richie pulled up, the same time he did and they walked inside together.

"You look rough and why the hell are you limping?"

"Ash and I were having sex in her bedroom and we heard her Dad. I crawled out of the window, onto a trellis and fell off that fucker half way down!"

"Damn it." Richie laughed. Wondering how he didn't break his neck. "Damn did he catch you?"

"No but like a dumbass I snuck Ash up to my room and as I got her good and naked Carol Ann decided to break my damn door in and she caught us!"

Richie laughed so hard. "Oh damn, not your Mama! I bet she shit a brick!"

"More like three and she threw Ash out of the house!"

"Damn you are lucky she didn't throw you out! Remember when she caught you up there with that stripper!"

"Oh yeah, I do! But I'm tired of all this shit I want my own damn place. I'm looking for apartments after work!"

"Damn that could be our love palace where we can take chicks to score!" Richie grinned.

"Hell no! It's just for me to score with my own damn chick!" John replied.

"Come on John! Let me move in! I can help you pay on the rent! You know I'm going to be over there, all the time anyway!"

"You don't even have a real job Richie! And I want to be alone as much as I can with Ashley!"

"I'll get a real job and I'll leave if you two want to be alone!"

"Come on Johnny!  My parents are breathing down my damn neck! I'm the only child, they don't have anybody else to focus on!"

John laughed. "I sympathize with you there. My Mom is breathing down my neck something fierce too. Maybe we can work something out. But only if Ash says it's okay. And no matter what you can't be there every damn night! I got plans and you in the next room listening to us having sex ain't it!"

"Okay I hear ya!"

Harold walked over to them. "You boys did a fine job on the two offices yesterday. Let's see if you can knock out the front three today. And it's Friday. I have a check for both of you. I didn't hold out a week, I know you could use the money."

"Thank you Mr. Harold."

"Yeah thanks Mr. Alfonsi." Richie smiled.

"Were the temporary musicians I found okay for the practice?"

"Yeah they worked out fine but I was thinking, if Richie had some extra time maybe he could sit in with us, between Message gigs."

"Sure that's fine I know he can play!"

"Yeah I'd love to do it!" Richie smiled.

"Okay I'll come back and check on you later." Harold walked away.

Richie smiled at John. "Thanks man. I appreciate you thinking of me."

"You're my bro man, I've got to look out for you. Can you get started? I really need to call Ash, I haven't talked to her since Ma threw her out."

"Sure man, go ahead."

John walked over to the phone searching for a dime in his pocket. He tossed it in and started dialing. After four rings she answered.

"Hello."

"Hey baby, I'm so sorry my Mom was being a bitch! Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm okay. Are you at work?"

"Yeah, Richie and I are painting three offices today.  Listen I am going to blow off practice here, later today. Will you go with me over to Bradley Beach to look at apartments?

"Yeah I guess I can."

"Okay, I'll pick you up about 3:00."

"I'll be ready."

"I've got to get back to work. I love you Ash."

"Love you too."

"Bye babe."

"Bye."

John and Richie worked hard to get the first room painted.  "Okay that's it looks good." John smiled looking around.

"I think so." Richie agreed. "Do you want to do the small room next?"

"Yep let's knock that out and we can go to lunch."

They set everything up and finshed the room and left for lunch.

They sat down at the table and ordered. "We are making good time today." Richie grinned lighting a cigarette.

"Yeah, give me one of those." John pointed at his Marlboro pack.

"I thought you quit?"

"No I just cut back. Ma was really riding my ass about it." He made a voice to sound like his Mom. It's a horrible habit Johnny, you are killing yourself! She hounds me everyday. So I just got tired of hearing it and cut back.

Kristin walked in. "You guys left me. I thought we were lunch buddies!" She hurried over and sat beside John. "I didn't know you smoke Johnny, that's disgusting!"
She wrinkled up her nose and made a face.

"Yeah I smoke 3 packs a day." He faked a smokers cough and blew smoke in her face.  Richie laughed at his attempt to turn her off and get rid of her.

"Well you need to stop before you get emphysema or lung cancer!" She snapped waving the smoke out of her face with her hand.

So he began to blow as many smoke rings as he could, right in her direction.

"Damn it stop!" She whined.

Richie joined in blowing smoke at her and she got up and ordered her food at the counter, and left with it.

"Thank you. Now I know what will get rid of her ass." John breathed a sigh of relief as he put his cigarette out.

They finished their food and went back to the club. He walked to the phone to call Ashley.

"Hello."

"Hey babe."

"Hey how's your day going?"

"Good, I should be out of here a little before  3:00."

"Okay, I'm cooking for Dad. So you can eat here, if you want to. I cooked spaghetti."

"Yeah I will, thanks baby."

"You're welcome see you after while."

"Okay bye."

"Bye."

John and Richie finished the third room earlier than they thought. They cleaned up their mess and some of the band was arriving.

"Hey Johnny, I've been working on my song. I changed some things around." Patty grinned.

"I'm sorry but I can't stay today. I am getting a new apartment and I've got to go pick it out."

"Wow so you are taking the plunge?"

"Yep, I've got to get out from under my Mom's thumb. She means well, but I am a grown ass man."

"Well congratulations and let me know where it is and I'll come by some time."

He wanted to tell her Ashley was probably moving in but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

"I got to go." He hurried out of the club. As fast as he could with his new acquired limp.

He got on his bike and drove over to Ashley's. When he pulled up she was sitting out on the porch. She watched him get off the bike and limp a little on his right foot.

"Still limping huh? You are so lucky you didn't kill yourself."

"It's not that bad. Did you miss me?"

"Yes of course I did. Are you hungry? The spaghetti is ready."

"I'm starving."

She made two plates and sat them down at the table. They both sat down and ate together. When they were finished she heard her Dad's truck outside. She waited for him to enter through the door, but he didn't.

Carol had walked out to get the mail when he pulled up. "Hi, Mr Covington, can I speak with you a minute?"

"Sure he walked over to her. She glanced at John's motorcycle in this man's driveway. "I'm going to come right out and say it. Are you as sick of them being together all the time, as I am?"

He laughed. "It's young love, they are just getting to know each other. I'm sure they will not have a lot of time for each other when Ashley starts her job Monday."

"Well I am concerned about her getting pregnant. He has already admitted to me that they are sleeping together. I found your daughter practically naked in my son's room last night? And I just want to tell you that if that is how she operates,  I sure don't want her with my son!"

"I was not aware things had gone that far between them. But I'm certain I don't like what you are trying to imply about my daughter! You will not have to worry about her being with your son anymore! I can  assure you of that!" His growing anger was clearly present on his face, as he walked to the front door.

"And furthermore, you and your daughter!" Carol tried to continue, but he spun around and cut her off.

"Look lady I don't give a shit what you think about me or my daughter! You need to read the posted no tresspassing sign right beside you, and get the hell of of my property!"

She stepped back to her own property in a huff.

He opened the door and walked in to find Ashley and John sitting on the couch snuggled up together.

Ashley could tell her dad was upset about something and she stood up.

"Daddy what's wrong?"

"I just had a nice little chat with Mrs. Bongiovi."

He looked at John with cold dead eyes. "You need to go home now son!

John didn't know what to do. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. He didn't want to leave Ashley alone to take the wrath for what he had talked her in to.

"Wait Daddy please!"

"No Ash, I don't want to hear it! I knew you were getting to close with this kid! And I'm stepping in now! Whatever you two think you have together is over!"

He looked at John again this time with almost evil eyes and yelled. "You need to leave now and stay away from my daughter!"

"Daddy no!"

John felt he had to speak up.

"Look sir I'm sorry but I love your daughter and I can't stay away from her!"

"Just go now! And don't let me catch you back over here!  Randy yelled opening the door.

Ashley was crying. "Please just go John."

"I'm so sorry Ashley. I promise, I will fix this." John looked at her. He wanted to hold her to stop her crying but he couldn't. He had to leave.

He walked outside and her Dad slammed the door shut.
