The End

Jon woke up the following morning so in love. He was happy
that Mika finally found a way to connect to him, finally found a way
to believe in him. He moved slightly to kiss her. Mika smirked
and then kind of wiggled her way towards him. “Good Morning lover.” Jon
smiled before giving her a tender kiss. The kiss quickly turned heated and
more love making ensued.


Afterwords Jon kissed Mika’s neck and whispered to her, “I love you.”

“I love you Jon. Thank you.”

”For what?” Jon asked her still playing with her hair.

“Sticking it out. It doesn’t hurt to love anymore.”

“Good honey it's not supposed to.” Jon kissed her again.

“Jon I survived the biggest loss ever and I didn’t die from it. You put
up with my fear. You dealt with my anger, you fought through the
walls and made me love you. I love you Jon.” She kissed him
deeply.

“I love you Mika. I’m glad that the band and coming on the road
helped you. I’m very happy that you let me show you how to heal a
heart. Letting love in is the best medicine.” Jon rolled onto his
back and pulled Mika too him. He knew now, that somehow he and Mika
will last. He never thought he’d get through to her. He never
thought she’d ever let him in but last night when they made love
she gave him her everything. He gladly shouldered her pain, the
smile in her eyes that he saw this morning is the one thing he’ll
search for every day from now on.



The end.

Chapter 26

After he finished the song Mika grabbed his guitar, she moved it to the side before sitting on his lap and kissing him deeply. “Richie says you aren’t feeling well, maybe I should take you to bed.” “Take me to bed or lose me forever.” ”You really don’t want to be called Tom Cruise do you?” “Hell no –he’s weird.” Jon told Mika and kissed her again with more hunger than ever before. Mika took Jon’s hand and walked him back to the bedroom area on the bus. She turned around and looked at him. “You are too good on stage.” She pulled his shirt off him hungrily. “Really?” Jon asked kissing her and caressing her hips and around to her butt. “Yes and it made me so wet.” She’d then lean down and nibble on his chest, right above his nipple. “I love you wet.” Jon pulled her body closer to his so she can feel his erection through his jeans. “Angel you feel so good.” “Damn Jon I want you. You are such a tease on stage.” Mika smiled and nibbled on his neck. “Fuck.” Jon moaned and all but tackled her to the bed. He’s gentle enough to not to hurt her but animalistic enough to prove to her that he’s horny and it's time they finally gave that part of themselves to each other. “Mika I need you.” He pushed into her with his hips making her moan. He then reached into his pocket and took out a condom placing it next to them on the bed. Mika saw that and smiled, he is respecting her wishes of no condomless sex so she felt it only fair to give him something special for that. She fliped him over on his back and he moaned deep. “Damn Mika I need you.” “It's ok Jon. Tonight I’m a sure thing, enjoy.” With that she moved down his body and nibbled on his bare chest and stomach. Kissing her way down his happy trail and unbuttoning his jeans. Jon smiled and ran his hand into Mika’s hair. She knew this isn’t going to take long, Jon is so hard already she just wanted to taste him. When she got his pants unzipped the head of his cock is visible and she starts licking it, around the head and sucked it into her mouth while she took his pants off the rest of the way. Jon threw his head back more and moaned. Mika took more and more of his cock into her mouth while she rubbed his thighs and finally his balls. “MIKA!” Jon screamed and she stopped, looked up at him with his cock still in her mouth he smiled. “Fuck you’re hot. Come here” Jon pulled her back up to him to remove the sensation or he was going to cum like a teenager. Mika crawled back up his body and he flipped her over. “My turn to tease.” ”No you did that all night.” Mika smirked. Jon stayed up near her head then and kissed her, his hands roaming and his fingers finding her wet and willing. Jon enticed her more with his hand, his lips and tongue silently communicating his need. Finally when he can't take it one more moment he donned the condom and raised his body over hers. “You sure?” He asked. Knowing how against sex she has been he has to know she won’t regret this in the morning. He knew he may regret asking the question but he cared about her too much not to. “Yes Jon I’m sure, take me I’m yours.” “All mine?” He asked teasing with the tip of his cock against her wet folds. “Yes all yours, please Jon.” He smirked and pushed inside of her so deeply with one fluid movement. He stopped as soon as he was fully inside and kissed her again slowly and deeply. “OH Mika, Angel you feel so good.” Jon kissed her again and what was to be hot passionate sex quickly turned to something close to lovemaking. He feels at home inside her. The other reason for the change in the style of sex is just Mika. She wasn’t easy, she wasn’t cheap she held herself to a certain level. Point blank she was so damn tight inside and he was afraid he’d hurt her. He realized he must have hit just the right spot inside of Mika because she is wiggling around under him and her body suddenly felt like a vice on his cock. “OH baby, let go, cum for me.” Jon moved down to her and kissed her neck, her ear and her shoulder before he felt her orgasm rock her body again. “That’s it angel. Oh you feel so good.” Jon finally allowed himself to reach his own peak and as he came his head is down by her collarbone. He nibbled a little pushing inside one last time. After his body stopped spasming he lifted his head up to kiss her and smirked. “Baby you’re mine.” “I know baby, that was so good.” Jon kissed Mika again and smiled. “I marked you that’s how much you’re mine.” “That’s ok.” Mika smiled as he moves out of her and disposed of the condom. She’s still pretty much out of it when Jon crawled back into bed to hold her. “Thank you for finally committing to me completely angel.” “No problem, I love you Jon.” She said barely awake but he heard it and his heart smiled.

Chapter 25

Jon wasn’t kidding when he told Mika she was going to be his after that nights show. While on stage he did every move she’s ever mentioned liking. During the show he shook his ass more times then ever. He knew after looking at her half way into the show that he had won. She was his.

As he walked off the stage he looked for her and then realized she was taking down his side stage. Damn, he was so horny and she was still working. He began to think of a way to get her out of work.

“Rich-“Jon bellowed.

“Yeah man.”

“Come up with a reason that Mika has to come back here now.”

“In heat bro?”

“Basically yeah – but if I go get her she’ll flip out on me.”

“Alright go to the bus I’ll tell her you aren’t feeling well and I’m worried.”

”You’re the best.” Jon knocked knuckles with Richie and walked onto the bus. Richie laughed silently at Jon's childish antics then walkied Mika, “Mika – need you backstage asap.”

”Rich can it wait we almost have the stage down.”

“No now, sorry Marsha.” Richie comments.

“It's ok Rich you just owe me.”

”I’ll pay up Darlin I promise.”

Mika would then head backstage. “So what’s the big deal?”

“Jon’s sick, he seemed very odd after the show I sent him to lay down on the bus. I’m just not the nursemaid type, go fix him ok.”

“Go fix him? Richie, even rock stars get colds.”

“Mika, he needs your TLC. You’re the girlfriend – kiss him make it better.” Richie gently pushed Mika towards the bus.

Mika smirked. Something told her that Richie is on Jon’s side, she had no issue with that though, she needed Jon. After how he was on stage tonight she needed his body in hers as soon as possible.

She opened the door to the bus and smiled, Jon has lit candles everywhere and has his guitar on his lap, playing and started to sing.



How you spend your minutes are what matters
All tomorrows come from yesterday's
When you're feeling broke and bruised and sometimes shattered
Blew out the candles on the cake like everything's a big mistake
It seems you always wait for life to happen
And your last buck can't buy a lucky break
If all we've got is us then life’s worth living
And if you're in, you know I'm in
I'm ready and I'm willing

I Am
When you think that no-one needs you
Sees you or believes you
No ones there to understand
I Am
I'll be there to be that someone
When you think that no one, is there to hold your hand
I Am

We're just who we are, there's no pretending
It takes a while to learn to live in your own skin
Say a prayer that we might find our happy ending
And if you're in, you know I'm in
I'm ready and I'm willing

And I ain’t got no halo hanging over my head
I ain’t gonna judge you, I'm just here to love you
I Am
I Am

Chapter 24

Jon and Mika have a little problem over the next few days when it comes to communication. It almost seems like they are talking in two different languages. Jon got the test results back from his Dr. and wanted to go over them with Mika. He walked out to her while she and Marsha are trying to lock down his stage. The stage however won’t fit with the seats in the arena so Mika and Marsha stress out and are distracted.

”Hey Mika can I see you for a minute.”

”Jon if you aren’t my boss right now I don’t have time.”

”Excuse me.” He said a little upset. “I want to talk to you.”

”As my boyfriend or my boss because right now I’m a roadie, I’m at work.”

“I get that but this is important.” Jon said now pretty annoyed.

”So is making sure the lead singer of my favorite band doesn’t break his neck on this stage. I’ll talk to you later.” Mika said by way of a dismissal.

Jon got pissed and storm backstage. “How dare she blow me off.”
Jon threw the letter in his stage clothes cabinet and picked up a guitar and start playing.

Before long Mika walked backstage to talk to him but he’s in the middle of sound check and Jon blows her off on purpose because of earlier that morning. Mika got just as pissed as he was and she went to the bus put on her rollerblades and take off with no cell phone.

Mika was so upset with him that she’s thinking of breaking it off. Can’t Jon just understand if he’s going to put limitations on her then she’s going to hold on to her heart even tighter. Jon kept telling her he wants her to open up to him, but he’s not even allowing her to be his girlfriend in front of his kids. Why does he want something he’s not willing to give? This relationship thing is just more work than it's worth. It's not until she’s back inside the arena roller blading that her IPOD decides to set her straight. Jon’s soulful voice comes to her through her ear buds and almost makes her cry because she can actually hear Jon saying these things to her.

These days, its hard to have a heart
It doesn't matter where you come from, or who you think you are
These days, it's hard just fitting in
Why does someone have to lose, for someone else to win
We're all looking for forgiveness, and someone we can trust
You can wrap your arms around the world
It all comes down to us

Mika realizes then and there Jon is trying to give her what she’s always wanted but she’s just being stubborn and scared.


This is the last night, you'll have to be alone
I'll be standing right beside you, you can't make it on your own
So walk with me, please, help me to be strong
I'll be the shoulder you can lean on, when everybody's gone
This is the last night, you'll have to be alone

I know, you, heard it all before

There's nothing worst than living less
When you yearn for something more
Makes no sense, its hard to understand
When there's something that should fill you up
Keeps slipping through your hands

We're all looking for answers
We're all down here on our knees
All anybody really wants, is something to believe
Enough is enough, I can't take any more
But I'm standing on your front porch
Kicking down your door
This is the last night
This is the last night

Without even realizing it Mika is at the door to Jon’s dressing room. She knocked and waited to see if he’ll answer.

When he opened the door she looked at him. “I’m sorry.” Escaping from her lips.

“So am I roller girl, come here.” Jon pulled Mika into his arms for a hug.
After the hug he took her ipod and hit the back button to see what song caused her to come to him. Seeing it was one of his he knew she’s true to the core when she said Bon Jovi makes her whole.

“So are you ready to be loved now? Completely?” Jon asked in such a way that Mika doesn’t even get offended.

“Actually I am if you can prove to me it's safe to do so.”

Jon walked over to his stage case and pulled out the letter from his Dr. Handing it to Mika he sat on the couch in his dressing room and looked at her expectantly. He doesn’t know what’s going to be in that envelope but he knew he’s gotta take the risk of her rejecting him for the results because if he doesn’t take the first step she'll never believe in him.

As Mika opened the envelope and looked over at Jon who is sitting still with a hopeful look on his face. Mika looked down at the Dr’s report.

~ Jon I personally tested the blood sample you had sent to me for the following STD’s here are your results. Please contact me if you have any questions. Dr Wilson. ~
AIDS-Negative
HIV-Negative
Gonorrhea-Negative
Chlamydia-Negative
Syphilis-Negative
Trichomonas-Negative
Human papillomavirus (HPV)-Negative
Genital herpes-Negative
Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C-Negative

~of course the best way to stay this way is to abstain from sex or at the very least use a condom every time~

“Jon your Dr. says you should abstain from sex.” Mika laughed.

“Yeah he’s been saying the same thing for the past 30 yrs of my life. I would think
he’d figure out I’m not listening. So what are the results?”

Jon asked not having seen them yet.

“You didn’t open this before giving it to me?” Mika asked.

“NO that’s what I came to find you for earlier I wanted to open them together since they affect both of us in a way.”

”Jon you’re clean, of everything including STD’s I didn’t know existed.” Mika told him.

“Really?” Jon got up and grabbed the paper to look for himself.

“What the hell is Trichomonas?”

”I don’t know but personally I’m glad you don’t have it.”

“Me to babe, me too.” Jon took Mika into his arms and kissed her.

“So baby, what do you say? Now that you know it's safe to be with me.” Jon smirked.

“Jon just because I have a piece of paper doesn’t mean I’m going to jump you right this moment.” Mika smirked.

“That’s it. Woman I’ve been playing nice but now I’m refusing to. I am going to turn you on so bad tonight while I’m on stage you are going to drop to your knees and worship my body.”

“I am?” Mika smirked.

“Yes because damnit I’m horny I’m STD free and you’re hot therefore I want my girlfriend and if you won’t behave yourself and just be a great girlfriend and have sex with your man then I’m going to be so confident, arrogant and sexy on stage tonight that you’ll be begging me to let you get under me so you can scream all night.” Jon then smiled that oh so delicious smirk and kiss her. One way or another she will be his tonight after the show. She’s gotta be he can’t handle many more cold showers.

Chapter 23

Jon actually had a Dr. take his blood and send it to his long time family Dr to run all the tests Mika wanted. As much as it aggravated him that she didn’t trust him sexually when he stood back he could see things from her point of view. She had told him in one of their long night drive talks that she’s only had sex with 3 people in her whole life. It's not something she gives away freely. Just to the men she loves. Well he could almost say the same thing if it wasn’t for the fact it was completely not true in his regard. He had sex with many women. The first time when he was 12 and he had to face reality, even though he was tested before he and Dot got married, that didn’t really mean he was safe considering what she did. This was however, the last barrier of hers he was willing to deal with.

Finally, 3 days after the kids go home Jon found Richie, “Rich man I need my bro.”

”OK what’s up brother?”

“Women.”

”Multiple or just Mika?” Richie smiled. Jon hasn’t had too many women problems since he’s been with Dorothea for most of the time he’s known him.

“Mika, Rich she’s killing me.”

”How so?” Richie asked.

”I love her. I’ve tried not to but it hasn’t worked. I don’t want to love her because I think she can’t love me. What do I do?”

”What do you mean she can’t love you?”

”I honestly think she’s scarred way to deep to try one more time. Every time I think we are getting closer she finds something to fight with me about or some reason to walk away.” Jon admitted.

“Maybe you have to give her a reason to believe. Give her something that only you can.”

”Keep talking Sambora.”

”Give her the part of you she’s comfortable with to show her you’ll give her what she wants and needs. After she relaxes a bit have a conversation about what things sooth you like music soothes her. Let her know having a woman that’s constant in your life is like a security blanket for you.”

”Rich your nuts I’m not like that.” Jon tried to be offended.

“The hell your not – Jovi you are a serial monogamist. IF you could be married and taken today you would be. Am I wrong?” Richie challenged.

“No you’re not.” Jon laughed damn his brother knows him well.

Chapter 22

A week passed before Jon can even blink, he’s so happy having the kids around that he and Mika barely see one another. They travel with him and Mika travels with the roadies. She doesn’t mind really because Jon talked to her before they showed up so she knows he’s trying to keep things calmer for them right now.

The afternoon is floating by as everyone is sitting backstage talking and laughing, Romeo is still climbing all over his uncle Richie when Dorothea walks in the backstage area. She saw Mika and instantly got pissed about it.

“Jon can I talk to you?”

”Sure Dorothea.” Jon got up realizing she’s pissed just by her tone. He’s damn well not going to let her mess this up for him and Mika.

“What are you thinking? Bringing another woman around my kids. You can’t do that they need stability in their lives.”

“Hold the fuck up. Let me see if I get this straight, you the woman that walked away from a 28 yr relationship is preaching to me about stability for our kids. That’s right Dorothea, OUR kids not yours. They had stability they had everything until you walked out. So don’t you dare come in here and preach that shit. Mika is around them because she is part of the road crew and Steph has become friends with her.” Jon then stepped into Dorothea’s personal space and grabbed both her wrists in a hold he knows will neutralize her karate skills so he doesn’t have to worry about her swinging at him.

“Jon you can’t just bring girls around the kids.” She said quietly but with a warning tone in her voice.

”Dorothea, don’t make a scene. You broke my heart remember, you cheated; you walked out on our marriage. I signed the divorce papers against my own desires. Don’t fuck this up for me. You don’t have the right.”

”Jon.” She started in again.

“NO chill the hell out. Dorothea please don’t mess this up for me.” He pleaded with her. Hoping she still had some feelings for his well being.

”You really like her don’t you?” She softened of course, as mad as she is that he had someone around the kids, her only reason for anger was that it proved he’s starting to move on. As nice as her life was now, deep down she’ll always regret that he will never call her Dot again, that he’ll never come home to her again. She messed up the best thing she ever had. No matter what she knows she can’t begrudge him some happiness.

“Yes I think I could fall in love with her.” Jon admitted to his ex wife knowing full well he's way beyond thinking about loving Mika, he's already there. He then lets go of her wrists knowing that she’s ok now.

“Ok I’ll behave.”

With that Jon and Dorothea walked back into the room with the kids. But by now Mika has left, she did not want to be on the receiving end of Jon’s ex-wife’s tantrum.

Jon and the kids say their goodbyes and they leave.

“Where did Mika go?” Jon asked Richie.

“Don’t know she just said it wasn’t the place for her and left.”

”Alright I’ll see you later man.” Jon got up, turned to the door and left the backstage area and started walking around trying to find Mika.

He knew that having Dot walk in and immediately getting up to talk to her had probably hurt Mika, he also knew that she has no idea what he talked to Dot about so he has to find her to tell her.

Jon finally came across Mika sitting outside of the arena, looking out at the lake that the arena butts up against.

“Hey you, I’ve been looking for you.” Jon smiled softly.

“Why?”

”Well because you’re my girlfriend and I want to talk to you.” Jon answer wondering how much trouble he’s in for talking to his ex.

“Are you sure? I mean I’m just part of the road crew.” She said making Jon realize she must have heard him as he began talking to Dot and took it wrong.

“Hold it. Mika how mad are you at me for what you think you heard?” Jon knew that at this point in his life, after having been with women enough to realize they tend to jump to conclusions so he’s just going to cut across the river and get to the other side now.

“I’m just part of the road crew how can I be angry?”

”Damnit Mika I told you that is the way the kids would know you before I was ready to admit to deep feelings, then and only then would they know you as my girlfriend. Now they figured it out, the older ones anyway. What you heard was me dealing with my ex in a way I see fit. She has no rights to my life now so why tell her something else that’s going to make her even madder.”

“I’m mad because you didn’t admit to being with me.”

”So you’re mad at me for protecting you from her anger.” Jon asked pointedly.

“Her anger doesn’t mean anything to me. I need to know you’re in this.” Mika told him.

“I thought you understood my views on when my kids know about us.”

”I’m not talking about the kids – I’m talking about the rest of the world.”

“Can I win with you at all? I seriously am feeling like the answer is no. You don’t want to love
me completely, you want to take things slow, you’re scared to commit fully to me, you won’t even have sex with me but yet you want the world to know we’re a couple. Which is it? Are we a couple completely or not?”

”Jon I’m not having sex with you until the Dr. proves you’re clean of disease. As much as I think you’re a great guy I’m not dying to have sex with you.”

“Baby I have no problems using condoms.”

”Good cos when we find out your clean you will be using them but I’m not going there until we find out.”

“You’re serious? I’ve never had a woman require I get tested before.”

”Yes Jon I’m serious. I know you were with Dot forever, but you’ve let it be known you aren’t perfect and if she was cheating on you then you may have been infected by her. Not to mention what you may have done since then.”

”I’ll admit I did get stupid when she broke my heart.”

”Did you use a condom?”

”Yes the only woman I haven’t used one with is my ex wife.”

“Jon did you cheat on your wife?”

“No. Now if you ask if I cheated on that same woman when she was my girlfriend the answer is yes. Once I made that solemn vow I honored it. I was not always the perfect boyfriend.”

“What changed? It was still Dot.”

“Yeah but if I swear in church that I’m gonna do something. I do it.”

“But you got married in Vegas.”

”Only the first time Mika. After we got married there, we flew back to Jersey called all the guys in the band and had a wedding in our church back home two days later. My mom organized it.”

“So do you ever see yourself getting married again?” Mika asked fearing he’ll say no now that he’s had more time to get to know her.

“OH Lawrd – hell yeah.”

Chapter 21

Jon looked up a few moments later to see Jake swinging his butt with his hands on his hips then his fist thrusting to the air.
“Hey Jakey what’s up?” Jon asked.
“I rockstar!”
“Of course you are buddy.”
”Like daddy!” He smiled and crawled in to Jon’s lap. Jon just smiles and looks around the room, his life is good. That is until he can’t find his daughter.
”Where’s Steph?”
”In the arena, she didn’t wanna sit still.” Tico answered him.
“OH crap.” Jon said as he gathered his two youngest up and walks out into the arena to find his daughter. He of course doesn’t have to worry Steph is sitting on the railing next to Mika who is securing Jon’s side stage.
Jon walked up to Mika, “Is she bothering you?” He looked at his daughter like she’s almost in trouble.
“Nope we’re getting along great.” Mika smiled to Jon and continued working on the stage.
“Yep I’m telling Mika how dorky you are with my boyfriend.” Steph teased her dad.
“Your boyfriend is 16. He shouldn’t be touching my 14yr old.”
”Dork.” She smiled.
”Try Dad.” Jon smiled back.
“Dad dork?” Steph smirked again. She missed her daddy when she’s not with him so this is exactly what she needed right now.
“You’re going to give me grey hair kid.”
”You have grey hair?” Mika looked up from the work she’s doing and ask.
“Yep.” Jon smiles.
“OH I’m sorry I can’t date someone with grey hair.”
“Mouthy girlfriends get themselves spanked.” Jon playfully warned.
Mika smirked but Stephanie hollered “DAD!”
“Shit sorry honey you didn’t hear that. I didn’t even come out here to tease my woman I came out to ask you –can you do me a favor – let me or Rick know when you’re leaving the room?”
”Hey Ricky is right there, he follows me everywhere.”
“As he should that’s what he’s hired to do.” Jon answered her.

“Yes daddy.” Steph smirked and kiss him on the cheek. “Going backstage now ok daddy?” She continued her in smart-alecky way.

“I love you princess.”
Steph walked away and Jon looked at Marsha who had just walked back up.

“Hey Marsha have you told Mika about kid check yet?”

”No – no one was with us until now so I was going to tell her because I just saw Stephanie.”
”OK I’ll explain. Mika if you ever hear ‘kid check’ on the walkie, if you can see any of our children, walk up to whichever one it is, find out who and say into the walkie, kid-check-Jake or whichever one you have located. We don’t like to make them feel like they are secluded to certain places so they allowed to wander around the arena by themselves, they each have their own personal security person that is supposed to be on them like glue. In Romeo’s case he has a jungle gym, but sometimes the kids outsmart their security person. That’s when kid check comes in place; we want to always make sure they are with a trusted member of the staff. If you ever have one that we have misplaced, you’ll be asked to return them to their lost parent.”

“Ok makes sense.”

“What do the kids do if they ever get scared? Do they ever get around overzealous fans or anything?”

”There is the odd time where they are freaked out by someone. They each have a codeword they can use to their guard that basically is a red alert to get them to their parent.”

”They wouldn’t use it with us?”

”No for the most part they don’t know the roadies very well. You my kids will know more obviously but their guard is their personal assistant really.”

Just then Romeo and his guard show up and Romeo is pouting.

“What’s wrong buddy?” Jon asks.

“I miss my daddy – need hug.” Romeo says and all but leaps out of his guard Tom’s arms into Jon’s.

“I love you Romeo.”

“I love you daddy.” Romeo tells him and lays his head on Jon’s shoulder finally resting enough to allow sleep to take over.

Happy Birthday to Jon - Chapter 20 - 3/2/09

When Jon walked backstage he knew he had to explain to the kids especially Jesse why talking about a mom would make Mika sad.

“Jesse come here. We need to come to an understanding.” Jon would say as Jesse sits down next to him.

“Mika is not trying to replace your mom. She’s my girlfriend; I wasn’t going to introduce you to her this early but well you met her early. Your mom is always going to be your mom, but we aren’t married anymore sweetie, she has someone new in her life. Mika is new in my life.”

“Dad she’s in your life not mine. She’s not my mom.”

”Jesse I know that. I need you to stop being like this. When you start going off and getting all mean about her being your mom you are hurting her. She’s not trying to be Jesse but her mom died recently. Do you know what death is?”

”Yes it's like mom’s uncle Sam- he died.”

”Right Jesse but this was Mika’s mom and they were very close, it would be like you losing me it hurts her to think about it and talk about it so she doesn’t need you being mean to her right now for no reason. She’s not trying to hurt you Jesse so stop trying to hurt her.”

”OK if you say so dad.”

“And I want you to apologize to her.”

”For what?”

”For me. I want my son to be nice and kind to the new woman in my life she doesn’t turn tail and run.”

”Turn tail and?”

”Just apologize to her Jesse for being mean. Show her respect as someone in Daddy’s life that he would like to stay around. OK?”

”OK dad. Why do you care what she thinks of me?”

“Well because first of all you’re my son. She respects that. She didn’t even strangle you when you were being a brat because you’re my son and she knows seeing me with someone other than mom probably confuses you.”

”She wanted to strangle me?” Jesse asked shocked.

“If she didn’t want to I did. I know this is hard buddy, I’ve been with your mom for 20 yrs longer than you’ve been alive. I’m just trying to find my way buddy.”

”On this lost highway?” Jesse smiled.

Chapter 19

Mika then looked at Jake who is clinging to Steph’s leg. “Jake are you going to talk?”

”NO”

“Ok” Mika laughed at his not talking reply.

“What’s dat?” He pointed to the side stage that Mika and Marsha set up every night.

“That’s another stage where you daddy sings to the crowd.”

“Want up” He walked over to it and Mika helped him up on it.

He’d start moving his body around and then he’d throw his fist into the air. He’d swing his butt around and Jon says from in front of him.

“Is that what daddy looks like on stage Jake?”

”I rock star!”

“Really you are?”

”Yep – rock star!” He throws his hand in the air again and Stephanie and Mika laugh while Jon gets him off the mini stage and hugs him.

Jesse would then look at me. “I’m sorry for what I said and how I acted Mika, I was very rude.”

”Ok Jesse why don’t you try getting to know me before you hate me.” Mika tells him.

“You’re not my mom!” Jesse says with anger.

“JESSE!” Jon starts to scold him again and Mika continued.

“NO Jesse I’m not your mom, you have one and you should cherish and respect her” Mika said and almost start crying.

Jon realized her emotions are a little to raw from losing her mom so he tried to calm the situation.

“OK before anyone says anything they’ll regret Steph, Jesse, Jake and Romeo – backstage.” He then turns to Mika, “I’m sorry he hit a nerve.” Jon then gives Mika a hug trying to give her some comfort while being pulled in another direction emotionally trying to protect his kids from this woman that he adores but he’s not sure if she can handle being with him long term so he has to be safe with their hearts. “I’m sorry Mika, he’s just a little boy, and he doesn’t get it. I’m sorry.” Jon would hug Mika again and give her a tender kiss. “He didn’t mean to hurt you, please don’t hate my son.”

“Jon I don’t hate your son, it's just raw.”

”He hates me Jon. He’s mama’s boy isn’t he?”

”Yes, Steph is daddy’s girl, Jesse is mommy, Jake is daddy and Romeo I think he loves everyone. I’m sorry Angel.”

Chapter 18

Mika would be working with Marsha setting up Jon’s side stage when suddenly a 14 yr old blond hair blue eyed girl walks up to here and says “Mika?” “Yes Stephanie, how are you?” Mika says upon turning around. “I like you, you make my daddy smile.” “Well thank you, he makes me smile too.” “You’re welcome.” ”Between us, he and mom weren’t good anymore. Do you love him?” Steph asked immediately and Mika is very relieved to see Jon walk up with the rest of the kids in tow. “Steph this is Mika, Mika this is Steph. Now you’ve met will you come back stage please?” ”HI” Romeo stated and leaned towards Mika holding his arms out. Mika would take him because he looks like he’s about to fall otherwise. “I like you-daddy smiles.” Mika smiled at Romeo, “I like you too, you’re daddy smiles when he talks about you all the time.” ”Want money?” Jesse says out of no where. “JESSE BONGIOVI” Jon scolded and Mika looks at him like Jon its ok. “No Jesse I have enough money of my own, thank you very much.” “So you want to be in the papers.” He’d state like he’d know. “JESSE JAMES!” Jon scolded. “Dad I need to find out. Cos you aren’t thinking.” “No Jesse I’d rather not be in the papers. Besides I’m just in the road crew.” ”You can fool the young kids but Steph and I know you’re his girlfriend now. So I need to find out about you.” Mika still have Romeo and she just flippantly looks at Jesse. “So are you going to hate me forever or are you going to get over your tude soon and try to get to know me?” Steph laughs, ‘Busted” “Shut up Steph!” Jon then looks at me and asks me to watch the kids. He quickly takes Jesse by the ear and brings him up into the rafters of the arena, away from prying ears. “OH shit he’s in trouble.” Steph would say. “Is your dad mad?” ”Oh yes. But he won’t ell at him in public. What should remain private, will.” Stephanie tells Mika and she just nods knowing the Bon Jovi motto’s well. “Yep I got that memo.” Mika says. “Yes, he’ll be scolded and then come and apologize to you for being rude and to me for saying shut up cos that’s not allowed in our family. I bet I’ll get in trouble next though.” ”Why?” ”Dad didn’t want the kids to meet you yet but when I saw his smile I had to find you. Jakey is my shadow and Romeo follows him so when I came out to see you I got them all out.” ”Oh oh.” ”Yep but it was worth it I had to meet his girlfriend.” ”We just started dating Steph, do you mind me calling you Steph or do you prefer Stephanie?” ”Steph is fine, and my dad doesn’t date Mika. In case you missed the memo he’s a little bit famous so him going to dinner and the movies is difficult.” ”So are you dating someone?” ”Yes and he’s 16 dad doesn’t like him.” “Well you seem very adjusted considering who your dad is and your parents…” ”You can say it, aren’t together anymore. That’s mom’s mistake not dad. She messed it up.” ”Your dad told you everything that happened?” ”No, I heard her talking to her friend one afternoon. Dad and I bond. I’m daddy’s little girl. But he didn’t want me in the middle so all he ever told me is it was between them. I’m sorry about your mom. Dad did tell me that, it sucks.” ”Yes it does. Thanks Steph.”

Chapter 17

“Sure.”

”Promise to keep it just us?” He needed her reassurance.

“Of course what happens in Jovi-“ She started the well known motto.

“No even more”

“What happens in our relationship stays in our relationship?”

“Exactly.”

“Sure Jon.” Wondering what he could have to tell her that was so secretive.

“Well I know this isn’t very ROCKSTAR of me but kissing is by far my favorite sexual act. If God denied me everything but one thing with my partner I’d pick kissing to keep.”

“Wow – why?”

Jon actually sat up, shirtless and somewhat flushed from kissing for the past hour and look at Mika, “Kissing is everything, its hello, I missed you, its good-morning and goodnight, its I want you, I love you, I need you. You can still do it even if exhausted, you can kiss you lover to sleep or kiss them awake. You can say I’ll be there for you without saying a word. A kiss can cure a boo boo, it can start an engine. A kiss is the simplest way to show someone you care, it's congrats, its I’m sorry. A kiss if done right is everything I’ve just said and 50,000 things I forgot.”

“You’ve thought about this a lot.” Mika smiled.

“Yes I have, it’s the most intimate expression of emotion I think.”

“If it's so intimate why do you kiss fans every night?”

“Because it is intimate - I know they want a piece of me it's a way of giving them a special memory.” Jon stated and then look at Mika and saw that’s not a good enough answer for her.

“This may honestly be where you and I will have issues – I can’t stop that now it's become such a part of the show people expect it fans would not take that well. If I didn’t pick someone to kiss, they’d initiate it- now I have the control I pick the person that looks the least likely to attack me one that will enjoy the dance and at the end allow the thanks for the dance sweetheart and the quick peck on the lips.”

“Is that what you say to them?”

“yep every one of them”

“If you start calling me sweetheart I’ll know you don’t mean it?” Mika smirked.

“You are a sassy girlfriend.” Jon moved and lie partially on top of her and continue their kissing session.

About 430am the bus rolls to a stop and Jon looked at Mika with lust filling his eyes. “Hold on let me see if we’re at the hotel.” Jon got up exhaled deeply trying to bring his blood pressure back to normal and walked up to the front. “Hey Mike we here?”

”Yeah Jon all parked and ready for sleep.”

”Great thanks man.”

Jon walked back to the room Mika is in. “Hey angel it's time for sleep.” He picked up his shirt off the floor then held out his hand to her so they can leave. All of her clothes were still in place and he can’t believe how much fun he just had necking with his girlfriend.

Mika and Jon walked into the hotel hand in hand and got their room keys. He has had Paul book the room for Marsha and Mika within two doors of his. So he stops at her door and kisses her goodnight. “I had fun on our date.”

”Me too, let’s do it again sometime.”

Jon placed his hand tenderly on the side of Mika’s face and kissed her swollen lips softly.
“Definitely, goodnight ladylove.”

When Mika got ready for bed and collapsed on her bed she’s hoping for nothing but sleep but instead Marsha needed to talk – “Tell me everything”

“There’s nothing to tell go to sleep.” Mika moans.

“Bullshit, let me live vicariously, how does he kiss?”

”With his lips now go to sleep.”

”Damn it Mika tell me something.”

“He’s a sweet guy and he’d like his privacy respected so I’m not telling you anything. GO to sleep.”

Marsha is pissed but Mika doesn’t care. She’s not about to ruin anything that happened tonight by kissing and telling.

“DADDY DADDY DADDY!”

Mika heard a little boy’s bellow way too soon after her head hit the pillow. She can’t determine whose voice it is until she hears Jon in the hallway, “ROMEO”

“Ahh judge and jury have arrived.” She mumbled turning over for more sleep.


~ 1130am Jon’s room~
“So dad why are you so smiley and yet tired?” Steph asked her father.

“I’m just happy to see you guys.” Jon told her and winks at her letting his baby girl know that they will talk in a bit.

2pm ~ the arena ~
By this time the kids have decided being back on the road with daddy is fun. Romeo and Jake have found their uncle Richie to climb all over, Richie is having so much fun with the kids because he hasn’t seen Ava in far to long so he’s fully into babysitting while Jon sat and talked to Steph. Jesse of course is having an attitude so he’s not talking to Jon at all.

“So Dad tell me for real –why so smiley?”

“I’ve met someone.”

“Tell me everything” His 14yr old Oprah asks.

“Steph just leave it as I’ve met someone I don’t want to introduce her to you guys cos I’m not sure where it's going. It's fun and I enjoy being with her.”

”Is this Mika?”

”Yes – how do you know about her?” He asked wondering how she has the name already.

“Uncle Tony said Mika was new to the road crew. How else would you meet someone who can hang around long enough to get to know you? I’ll be back.” Steph quickly stood up and ran out into the arena, Jon has to gather the rest of the kids before he can follow her.

Chapter 16

Mika and Jon laid down on the futon and he pulled her into his arms to cuddle. She felt so good, not believing someone so great cares for her.

“Hey.” Jon says thinking she zoned out on him.

“Yeah.” Mika answered.

“Can you do something for me?” Jon asks. Mika wouldn’t know how to answer him what if he wants something kinky.

“Ok.”

Jon doesn’t understand why she’s hesitating. They are just talking for goodness sake. “I need you to be honest with me. I need to know you’ll stand up to me and tell me when I need to change something ok?”

”Sure Jon I can do that.” Mika smiled, that much she could do.

”What’s something you need from your boyfriend?” Jon asked out of the blue. He loves this time in a relationship, when you are getting to know the other person. “I need him to be tender, in a touchy, feely way.”

“Are you a clingy girlfriend?”

“As in can’t stand up by myself–no. As in I want to touch you all the time- yes.”

“Then why is my ass over here and why isn’t my girlfriend touching me?” Jon smiles trying to lightening the mood, letting Mika know that while they are talking it's nothing she should be scared of.

“Cos we are trying to be smart about this – so we can a) supply what the other needs or b) determine it's not something we can do and walk away before it gets to hard.” She answered seriously.

“But everything I’m hearing I love – I want to be touched all the time it's fun.” Jon explained while pulling Mika closer to him and kissing her softly.

“So do you like back massages?” She asks out of the blue.

“Hell yeah”

“Take off your shirt and turn over” She smirks and he grins at her with that megawatt white smile. He removes his shirt quickly but whines, “But we were cuddling.”

“Shut up just roll over.”

He shrugs and then he does and I smile, “damn you’ve got a great ass” Mika smirks and before he can say anything she tells him, “Shut it don’t even argue and no rolling your eyes.”
He smirks and tells Mika, “OK I know I’m busted so I’ll let you admire me.” He then moans as she hits a sore spot on his back. He quickly loses all ability to talk.

“What’s wrong Jon can’t get a massage and talk at the same time?”

“I can if I have to.” Jon answers dreamily.

Mika hits a spot that’s been driving him nuts he yelps.

“Am I hurting you?”

“No pet, you’re making me feel really good.”

“What have you done to yourself, you’re in knots.”

“I have no fucking clue – past 6mo or so certain spots have decided they hate me.”
Mika continued to massage his back for 40min without another word being said, she’s happy to do it to, she loves to give massages and since he’s willing she figures this is going to work out great.

After the massage he rolls over under Mika and has the most amazing royal regal blue eyes.

“Oh my God.” She gasps.

“What?”

“I love your eyes; I absolutely love your eyes.”

“Thank you” He says honestly without rolling his eyes at all at the compliment.

Mika hugged him; the then takes her face in his hands and softly kisses her. So tender, so deep and romantic, again he doesn’t get his tongue involved just kisses her from his heart.

“whoa” She moaned.

“you felt that too?” Jon asks.

“yeah I felt that too.”

“Something tells me babe we’re going to get along very well in the kissing department.” Jon smirks.

“Want to practice?” Mika smirked; two can play at this game of flirting he has going on.

“Oh yeah, for at least a few hours.” Jon smiled; damn this girlfriend thing was really working for him he thought.

Mika lye down on the side of him and the kisses begin. Very few men in Mika’s past just lie down and kiss her; normally the kisses had to be leading somewhere. With Jon they don’t. He does deepen the kisses, and his tongue caresses hers regularly, but that’s as far as he takes it. His hands stay in her hair or on her upper body, not even venturing yet to her breasts. He rubs her arm or her hip, sometimes her back. Mika can tell however, he is perfectly happy to just kiss her.

Jon broke the kiss for a bit, running his thumb over her well kissed mouth, “I love the way you kiss, you aren’t forceful or pushy or too wet or too dry –it's just pure fun kissing you.”

“I was thinking the same thing, you actually enjoy kissing.” Mika said with a layer of shock in her voice.

“Can I tell you a secret?” Jon asks.

Chapter 15

Chapter 15

“My ring didn’t fit the way I thought it should to be securely stuck on my finger. I was scared a fan could pull it off if I got too sweaty, so whenever I was gonna be in a position that the fans could get a hold of my hands I would put the ring in the pocket of my pants, I had special pocket thing sewn into my pants so the ring was never far from me.”

“You thought people would take your ring?”

”Well my fans have a tendency to touch me whenever and wherever they can so it wasn’t a stretch to think they’d get the ring at some point.”

“So humor me here?” Mika would ask because she would wanna look towards the future for the first time in a long time.

“Yes pet?”

”If you were to get married again, and your then wife demanded the ring be on your finger at all times how would you react?”

”Badly. I don’t take well to demands. She would have to understand that I am an actor as well as a musician and some roles I take the guy isn’t married so right there it wouldn’t work. I also would never make such a demand on her so I would have a problem with it.”

”Do you not like to wear it?”

”No actually the opposite. I loved having the ring on my finger. When I would be flying from city to city or when I was in an interview I would twist the ring on my finger. I love the symbolism of the ring, I also however believe that a marriage does not start and end with a piece of jewelry. I was no less married to Dot if I had the ring on my finger or not.”

“Ok.” Mika said and then looked down. She really wanted to kiss him again but she couldn’t bring herself to kiss him yet. What if he found that too forward?
She was his girlfriend but just barely.

Jon would look at her and smile, damn she’s so open to him, he loves that, he loves that she is almost scared to offend him somehow. It seems almost impossible for this to be happening, he’s not used to someone being this concerned about his feelings.

“Mika what are you thinking?”

“That I really want to kiss you.”

”So why don’t you? Angel you’re my girlfriend you have rights you know?” He smiled.

”I do?”

”Yes remember when you thought you read it somewhere that girlfriends get kisses, well I looked it up, it's in the girlfriend bylaws. I’m not sure but rule 3a or something stating that girlfriends can kiss their boyfriends at any time throughout the day.”

”OH I like that bylaw.” Mika smirked and moved in to take his lips with hers.
Jon won’t let her pull back right away. He still wasn't possessing her mouth with his full force he needed to make sure she’s well aware of the desire that he has for her.

“So we have a few options for sleeping arrangements. We can sleep single on each bunk, we can sleep on top of each other on 1 bunk or on the back couch thing together.”

“I choose that.” She immediately stated.

Once they moved to the back of the bus she sees what is little more than a pulled out futon. He asks her if she’s going to be ok if he takes his shirt off.

“Well yes of course you can get as naked as you want just remember I have the right to gush over you and call you hot – you are mine after all.”

He rolls his eyes and Mika has seen that look enough. “Jon get over it – you’re good looking ok the entire world knows that. Everyone appreciates the eye candy, you can’t be blind when you look in the mirror. So if I ever see you roll your eyes again when I tell you I find you good looking or hot or sexy or whatever I’m going to ask your ex wife to teach me how to kick your ass.”

“Ok.”

“Huh?”

“Ok I won’t roll my eyes anymore when you say it.”

“Why are you all of a sudden not fighting me on this?”

”Because you weren’t afraid to stand up to me. You’re not too scared to tell me what you feel and I find that very sexy. “

Mika smirked, “Hey can’t a millionaire afford a better bus than this? Seriously, we’re sleeping on a futon?”

“Alright abuse the boyfriend. Give me a break, we stopped using the bus years ago. Now the only time we take it is if we are traveling 100 miles or less between gigs. Other than that we fly.”

”I guess I should know these things if I decide to be your manager next year huh?”

”Angel I seriously have to know soon. Paul is done in May and if you aren’t going to be my new manager I need to know so Tony can find another.”

“Jon I can’t give you that answer yet. I’m not ready.”

Jon tells her if she would have applied to the band a long time ago she would have been hired then. This has nothing to do with them dating Tony screened her for the job when she applied originally. Jon tell her he doesn’t want to deal with all the crap he hates the business side of things. He pays someone ‘very well’ to know all that stuff. “Bon Jovi is very successful and I make sure I pay someone very well to keep us that way.”

“Why do you say I a lot when you refer to the band?”

“Mika this is another of those conversations that’s just between us.”

”Ok.”

Once he got her agreement he told her. “I make more money than anyone in the band. I was signed to the record label originally as a solo artist, when the band was formed I had contacts drawn up that they would get a set portion of the money the record company made. I however am still paid separately. We are a band in every way, we are now signed as Bon Jovi the group but my royalties and my contract for them differs from everyone else’s. Richie is a close second because of all the song writing credits. I am the one that forked over the bill to make sure everyone had medical insurance. The record company doesn’t provide it. I am the one that everything lands on.”

“Well are you a corporation or soul proprietorship for liabilities sake?”

“I have no idea what you just asked me so I can’t tell you. I’m sure Paul would know.”

Chapter 14

“Jon, shouldn’t I be anywhere but here when your kids show up?” Mika asked him not thinking he’d want to tell the kids anything about them yet.

“Actually you are reading my mind. I am very happy you are in my life Mika, but my kids will know nothing about us until I decide I’m in love with you. I’m willing to risk my own heart but not theirs.”

“How perceptive are they? Are you going to introduce us at all?”

”I don’t think so unless they pull it out of me. I may introduce you to Steph because she will know long before I’m ready to tell her. She can read me like a book.”

“So tell me about your kids?” Mika would ask cuddled up in his arms. Wanting nothing more than to ignore the world and kiss him again but she knows that isn’t about to happen.

“Well Stephanie is my girl. She’s a daddy’s girl if I’ve ever seen one. She also knows that I’m wrapped around her little finger. She’s beautiful and so smart. She’s confident and stubborn and amazingly unaffected by life. She just does her own thing. She’s my sunshine and whenever I’m the least big down she’ll give me a hug and tell me she loves me to the moon and back and I just melt.”

”You do realize you have a smile in your eyes?”

”Yes I love my baby girl. I love all of my kids but Steph holds a special place because she’s my baby girl.”

”Tell me about Jesse?”

”He’s stubborn and Dot’s boy. He’s 12 yrs old hates the world and hates me for leaving. However, about once a month he realizes I’m not the devil incarnate and wants to see me to talk ‘man things’. His man things are basically –dad what do I do my voice is cracking, my dreams aren’t like they used to be. So thankfully he may dislike me at times but he knows I’m dad and I’m always going to be there for him so he still talks to me.”

“Jake?”

”Jakey – he’s my little buddy. He’s special to me because he was the only one I was ever home to see really start to develop. I was away so much of the time with the other kids but Jakey I was home when he started giggling and when he figured out who everyone was – his first word was Dada. He rolled over for me first, crawled for the first time when I was in the room so I’m really attached to Jakey. He’s also the only kid into football as much as me so we go to lots of Soul practices and games
together.”

”And Romeo?”

”He’s also daddy’s boy. He’s so young though all we do is play trucks together.”

“Can I ask you an odd question?”

”Sure but remember I have every right not to answer.”

”You sound like you loved being married and actually valued your relationship with Dorthea.”

”I did.”

”Then why didn’t you wear your wedding ring often?”

Chapter 13

Jon hugged her again and smile. “I suppose we should talk about how some of this is going to go huh?”

”What do you mean?”

”Me and my fans. You know I kiss women every single night on stage.”

”Yes I’ve seen you do it about 40 times so far.”

”That’s not going to change, its part of the act.”

”And if I don’t like it?” Mika asked him.

”Then we’ll have problems right off the bat. First of all the fans don’t respect the fact I’m taken, engaged, married it doesn’t matter. Fans think I’m public property.”

”One thing you don’t understand is that I am a fan. I get it. I’ve seen you do it many times.”

”Yes but you’ve seen me many times when I wasn’t yours. Now that I’m yours how is that going to play into it?”

”OH say that again.” Mika smiled.

“What that you’ve seen me many times?” Jon played with her.

“No, the other part.” Mika said rather exasperated.

”That I’m yours.” Jon smirks.

”Yeah I like that.” She smiled. Jon smiled back he knew it's been too long since this beautiful woman has had many reasons to smile. He feels it's his job to make her smile again.

“I am yours. I asked you to be mine and I mean it. I got over being dumb and stupid like cheating on my significant other years ago. I don’t do that shit anymore.”

”Really?”

“Yes really. I’m not the type of guy to cheat on my woman, it's cruel and worthless. If I’m in a relationship and don’t want to be I’m man enough to say so and walk away before hurting that woman by cheating. I figure if you can’t be man enough to break something off then you aren’t man enough to be involved in the first place.”

“What happens to me working for you if this doesn’t work?” Mika unfortunately had seen the darker side of life to often to not try to prepare for it.

”Nothing Pet. If you want to continue working with me you do, if you don’t you don’t.”

”Why don’t I believe that?”

”It's not Bon Jovi Enterprises policy to restrict relationships of staff or crew because we figure people should be adult enough to police their own relationships.”

“And what if I become your manager?”

“We’ll be fine as long as you understand within the world of Jovi I am final saying so for everything with the band – this is my baby. If you hate working for me but want to stay with me we can do that too. Or the other way around, I can be professional with someone I’ve kissed or done other things with before.“ Jon stated with all seriousness.

“Are you too good to say Bon Jovi now?” Mika smiled at him, letting him know she heard him but yet wanted things to remain light.

“OH I so walked into that one. You my ladylove are a prize.” Jon then leaned into Mika and tenderly laid his hand on the side of her face. He brought his head towards her, his lips tenderly caressing hers. Not wanting to scare her or have Mika believe he’s with her for the wrong reasons he doesn’t even ask permission for his tongue to dance with hers. Next time. This time he just wanted her to feel the tender caress of his lips against hers.

Chapter 12

Chapter 12

“So Mika, I don’t know if you’ve figured out exactly what I’m trying to do here but riding on the bus from one city to another is my way of trying to date you. Pizza, movies, but I can’t actually take you out while on the road. In Jersey I could get away with it. So would you like to go on a date with me?”

“Since you went through all this I can’t really say no.”

”Yes you can say no, I’ll sleep on this bus to the next city and you can ride with the crew. I just thought this was a nice way for us to spend some time alone together to see if this could amount to anything.”

“I’d like to date you Jon.”

Mika and Jon then sit on the couch, eat dinner and watch a movie, ending with Jon’s arm around her shoulders.

Jon reached over at the end of the movie and kiss Mika’s cheek.

“Wow you’re awful forward on a first date.” Mika would smile at him and Jon unfortunately misses the smile and feels ashamed.

“I’m so sorry I didn’t mean to offend.”

Mika then remembers that the last time Jon dated he was a teenager so she quickly corrects the situation.

“Jon chill, I was just giving you a hassle.”

“Stop that you brat.” Jon admonishes. “You are abusing the man in your life and that’s not nice.”

“Are you the man in my life?”

“I hope so.”

”We go on one date and now you think we’re a couple?”

“I’m never gonna win with you am I?”

”Yes you will.”

”How?”

”Ask me a question, don’t assume.”

”I thought the assumptive close was a good one? Aren’t you in sales?”

”Not anymore.”

”Will you be my girlfriend?” Jon asks hopefully. He hasn’t had to ask that question since he was a teenager either. He waited with hopeful breath for Mika’s answer.

“Yes Jon I’ll be your girlfriend.” She smiles and receives a hug.

“Wow girlfriends only get hugs?”

”You need to stop.”

”Why?”

”I’m not going to kiss you when you expect it?”

”Why?”

”That takes all the surprise out of it.”

”Why do I have to be surprised? Aren’t I your girlfriend? Don’t girlfriends get kisses whenever they want them?”

”Whenever?”

”Yes I thought I read that somewhere.” Mika would smile really wanting to kiss him but loving the fact they can play like this too.

“Just so I have this straight. I’m onstage at lets say Giants Stadium and you motion to me you want a kiss. I’m supposed to stop the show, jump off the stage come kiss you then go back to the show?”

”OH yeah that sounds great.” Mika smiled. “It probably wouldn’t happen but it’d be fun.”

”Yeah and all the fans would hate you in about 2 min.”

”Yeah I’d be one of them.” She smiled.

“Angel you can’t hate yourself.” He laughed.

“Well if it wasn’t me you were kissing I’d hate the girl.”
