Chapter 17

Jon had a shitty night and was in a really bad mood. Richie saw it the moment Jon walked into the studio.

“Morning Jon, did you have a bad night? You look shitty…”

“ Yeah , I had a shit night, I couldn’t sleep. I had too much on my mind”

“ Does it have to do with a foxy lady with brown eyes and an ass to die for?”

“ Hey you shut your trap, or I’ll shut it for ya! And yeah it has to do with her. I called her last night and it sounded like she was crying. I tried to talk to her but she put the fucking phone down in my ear!”

“Well maybe she doesn’t want to speak to you? Remember she has a boyfriend!”

“Yeah asshole you don’t have to remind me I told you that remember and I told you about the limo ride so I’m not falling for the she’s- not-interested line. She was more that interested.”

“If it bugs you so much call her at work. Or better go to her, otherwise we won’t be able to work with you sulking..”

“ Argh fuck you Richie. I can try and call her but I can’t go to her, I’m suppose to pick up the kids tonight. I need this few days with my kids!”

Richie walked closer to his best friend and put one arm around him, his guitar still in the other hand.

“Then call her Jon, we need you to focus, remember we have to start some recordings and Vegas is just a week away!”

It was a busy day at the office , but Mr. Sunshine was in a good mood for once. That usually makes the day easier to go through. Just before 3 o’ clock she looked up into the biggest flower arrangement she had ever seen.

I think the guy is on the wrong floor.

But the delivery man was looking for her , so she just smiled, signed ,gave the guy a tip and send him on his way.

Mark, we don’t have money for this, how could you buy this huge bunch of flowers?

Mark really tried to make up for all the shit that happened a week ago. And everything was back to normal, except now they had a bunch of final demand letters, lying on the table. She just didn’t know how they were going to pay it all. They needed a miracle and quick!

Cheyenne took the big envelope sticking out from the flowers, and opened it up. She felt herself shaking when she took the contents out of the envelope. Four tickets to the Bon Jovi show in Vegas. Oh no just not that, please not that.

A hunk of a man came into her minds’ eye.

Oh, Jon am I never going to escape you?

She called Stacey and told her the news.

“You just give me that tix and I’ll tell Wayne I got it from a colleague at work, ok? For God’s sake just don’t take it home with you!”

Cheyenne had just put the phone down when it rang.

“Mr. Cage’s office, good afternoon”

“ Did someone tell you, you have a sexy voice on the telephone Miss Roberts?”

That low sexy voice haunted her dreams every night….she closed her eyes and took a deep breath..

“Jon? I told you not to call me ever again. What can I do for you?”

“ Well first of all you can thank me for the flowers and tickets, didn’t your mama teach you any manners? Secondly you haven’t answered my question. Did someone tell you, you have a sexy voice on the telephone?”

She could hear Jon smiling over the phone…Oh damn that smile. Her heart started beating faster, that ass, arms, chest…

“ Cheyenne are you still there, baby?”

“Yes I’m here Jon. I’m sorry it was quite rude of me. Thank you for the beautiful flowers and the tickets and no, no one ever told me I have a sexy voice on the phone.”

“Well then I’m gonna tell you now. You have a damn sexy voice on the telephone. Ever tried phone sex ,baby? You can get me hot and heavy anytime with a voice like that. We should try it sometime……uum hold on a sec …. Ok daddy’s coming..shit! Honey I have to hang up. The kids are here and Romeo is breaking the house down, looking for something. I’ll see you at Vegas? Be good baby, see you in a week ….and Cheyenne dream of me, ok?.”

She heard that husky laugh of his before the phone went dead.

Damn I’m shaking like a leaf. The man only talked to you on the phone for Pete sake.

She was so glad they were interrupted, because she didn’t have the heart to tell him that she won’t be going to the show after all.
