“Thank you.” She said as she reached for the plate he gave to her.
“Good pick by the way, I love the lasagna from this place, it’s really good.” Jon said after he pressed play. They ate watching the movie quietly, when he finished his lasagna he put his plate on the coffee table and moved closer to Melody and put his arm around her shoulder. She sighed contentedly, she was waiting for him to do that. She rested her head back against his arm and turned her head to look up at him and wanted to ask if he liked the movie but she didn’t have time to ask. His lips covered hers faster than she could think. So she forgot and kissed him back, letting his tongue enter her mouth and explore it. She returned the favour before breaking the kiss and yawn.
“Are my kisses boring you?” He asked her feigning disappointment.
“No, I’m just tired from work; it was busy, as usual.” She explained to him and he held her closer to him.
“Do you want to go to sleep?” He asked her a bit worried.
“No, I don’t want to go home yet, besides we haven’t finished the movie yet.” She answered him and settled back into his arms, turning back to the tv to watch the movie. He didn’t say anything and turned back to the tv too, throwing a few quick glances at her every few minutes, just watching. She was beautiful even though she looked tired, her hair, he could smell it, coconuts.

An hour and a half later the credits started rolling and Jon looked over to Melody again and noticed she had fallen asleep. He stroked her hair and carefully got up, trying not to wake her up. He went in search of a blanket. When he found one in the bedroom closet he went back to lay her down on the couch and covered her with the blanket. Kneeling down beside her, he stroked the hair out her face again and kissed her forehead before turning off the main lights, leaving a lamp on a side table on and going to his own bedroom. Reluctantly he went to sleep himself.
Melody woke with a start in the morning, not recognizing where she was. She looked around the dimly lit room and it came back to her. I fell asleep during a date. She felt stupid, she fell asleep on a date. Jon must find her really pathetic. She turned around, burying her head in a pillow, she contained herself not to scream, he might hear her. Melody stretched out and thought she recognized the smell of bacon. Reluctantly she got up, she had to face him anyway, if she felt stupid or not. She walked past the dining area into the kitchen.
“Good morning.” He said when he heard Melody walk in. “Did you sleep ok?”
“Morning,” She said, not too sure about the good yet. “Yeah, just fine.”
“I hope you like eggs and bacon. It’s about the only thing I can cook, scrambled eggs, some cheese and some pieces of bacon.”
“I love eggs with cheese.” Melody answered happily. It was her favorite breakfast; she loved adding to the eggs with cheese, just like Jon now did with bacon or even tomatoes.
“You’re lucky then.” He said, “Do you have to work today?”
“Oh yes, what time is it?” She asked worried looking for a clock but not finding one.
“7.30, when do you start?”
“At 9.” She said now a bit more relaxed, she still had time and she didn’t have to do the long drive either.
“You got lots of time then. You can take a shower after breakfast if you want. Do you want a drink?”
“Some tea would be nice.”
He nodded and started making tea. He put the eggs and bacon on plates, walked over at the extended counter with bar chairs and put her mug and plate down. Then he walked back to the oven. He opened it and looked at it hopefully. “I didn’t burn them!” He grabbed a bowl and put the baked buns in, grabbed his coffee mug and went to sit down opposite of Melody.
They talked while they ate and after he put the dishes away Melody wanted to get ready for work. Jon showed her to his bathroom. Standing by the door he would have loved to stay and shower with her but it didn't seem appropriate to just jump into the shower with her.
“There’s no fancy shampoo and soap though but I can check Steph’s bathroom if you want.” He told her after handing her a towel.
“Fancy shampoo?” She asked and took the towel from him.
“Yeah, the volume adding and the colour and repairing and whatever kinds of shampoo you all have.” Jon explained to her.
“No, I’ll be just fine.” She laughed and smiled at each other. Jon sighed, turned around and closed the door behind him.
She turned on the hot water, undressed and stepped in the shower. The hot water felt so relaxing, she actually took her time to shower. But she couldn’t shake the idea of falling asleep on a date, she felt so stupid. She was lucky he was so nice to not say anything about it. She finished showering, and took the towel to dry off, it was so soft. She wrapped it around her while she dried her hair. She combed her hair out and got dressed. After dropping the towel in the laundry basket she walked back to the living room where Jon was watching the morning news. On the tv she could see it was 8.30 now, she sat down next to him.
“So now you’ll be busy till March?” She asked him, knowing he would start touring in 2 days.
“Yeah, filming today and Thursday, White House tomorrow and the tour starts Thursday. But you have to come to the concerts in a few weeks, when we’re in New York.”
“Wow, you are really busy. I would love to go but I don’t have tickets or money to buy them.”
He laughed. “Don’t be silly, I told you, I’ll arrange it. I’m the boss of this corporation.”
“2 weeks then?” She asked. “Till I see you?”
“Yeah, but two nights in a row. It’ll be great.” He explained to her.
She agreed and noticed the clock on tv again. “I should be going.” She said reluctantly, she’d rather stay with him all day. “Have a fun day on set.”
“Yeah, maybe. Have a fun day at work.” He told her and kissed her deeply before letting her leave. He walked her to the elevator and kissed her again before the elevators bell interrupted them. “I’ll phone you tonight.” He said and let her go.
At work Lori noticed her walking in. She looked a bit funny at Melody when she came and stand next to her at the front desk after checking in.
“You’re wearing the exact same clothes. And you went along with Jon Bon Jovi.” Her face turned surprised. “Did you?”
“No, we didn’t!” Melody said.
“You’re wearing the same clothes, I don’t believe you.”
“We didn’t! I fell asleep on the couch when we were watching a movie.” Melody explained and Lori gave up not really believing her yet.
“Good morning.” He said when he heard Melody walk in. “Did you sleep ok?”
“Morning,” She said, not too sure about the good yet. “Yeah, just fine.”
