Chapter 52

Just when they all sat down to enjoy the meal. There was a knock on the door. Cheyenne stood up smiling.

She opened the door finding Joe standing there with a beautiful bunch of flowers.

“Oh, how beautiful! Thanx so much Joe and they smell lovely too! Come sit down , the breakfast is ready.”

Jon and the guys looked at each other for a second, but the food smelled so divine they immediately kept themselves busy with the food on the table. Joe sat down.

“I invited Joe over for breakfast I just wanted to say thanx to him for his friendship the past few days and I know food is the way to a man’s heart. So this is my thank you to all of you for making my stay here so wonderful! “

“Amen, darling! Don’t you want to come work for us? Just imagine home cooked food everyday, or maybe I should ask you to marry me. Then you could travel with us and keep us all in good wholesome food! What do you think honey?” Richie lifted one eyebrow.

“Oh, Richie I would love to but I’ll have to decline. As sexy and cute as you are I can never marry a man just to be his cooking slave. Sorry sweetie! I can imagine myself in the kitchen the whole day cooking for you, the way you are eating !”

“Ok, and if I say you would be my sex slave would that change your mind or I can always keep you barefoot, pregnant and cooking!”

“Oh, god Rich! What a great offer, let me think about it, ok?” She was giggling.

“Well, ok but don’t let me wait to long, now!” He took another bite from the crispy bacon.

Tico , Dave and Joe smiled. Their mouths were so full of food that they couldn’t comment.

Jon was savouring the great omelette, deciding that he was going to ask her about the job immediately.

“Talking about a job. Cheyenne the guys and I want you to come work for us. You will do general admin work at the recording studio and anything else we can think of. Seeing your cooking skills we might ask you to make us some food, while we’re too busy to leave the studio.” His gorgeous smile made her melt.

Cheyenne laughed but stopped the moment she saw the serious look on Jon’s face. The whole room went dead quiet. All eyes turned to Cheyenne waiting for a reaction or answer which ever came first.

Cheyenne looked at all the eager faces around her. They were actually dead serious!
She wanted to pinch herself, just to make sure she wasn’t dreaming.

“Thank you guys for the offer, but I cannot except.”

Jon felt like someone threw an ice bucket of water into his face.

“Not yet anyway. I have some stuff to work out at home and I’ll have to think about it. This is a big step, I hope you guys understand.”

They all started speaking at once, and stopped.

Jon was quiet, his eyes were huge in his face. Cheyenne’s heart ached for him, seeing him like that.

“Please Chey think about it, don’t just say no! There is a cottage on Jon’s premises, you can stay there. So an apartment won’t be a problem. You know us all, we love you and I know we would probably get full of shit sometimes but , we will always treat you like family. Shit you are already part of the family!”

Dave and Tico nodded.

“I will let you guys know within a few days, ok? Let me just find my feet again. I still have 2 weeks of vacation left, so it will give me time to get my life in order.”

Jon looked at her , he didn’t say a word but his eyes did the pleading. Cheyenne wanted to cry. This is a dream come true, but she had to think about this. There is still Mark to sort out! He didn’t even call her these past few days, not that it mattered anyway. How is she going to work with them and hide the love she felt for Jon? Could she ever look him in the eyes after what happened between them these past 3 days?

“We’ll leave Cheyenne with the offer. She can think about it and let us know as soon as she’s ready.”

Jon’s voice was so professional, it felt like he saw her as another business deal and it hurt.
