Chapter 96

The next morning Melody was up early, another 12 hour shift ahead of her. She was being held tightly by Jon which indicated he was awake. “What do you want for breakfast?” Melody whispered her question.
“You.” Jon answered hoarsely and nipped her shoulder.
“Even after a bad day like yesterday you have a one track mind.”
“Especially after a bad day like that.” Jon kissed the spot he had just bitten, then started kissing her neck.

Melody moaned, moving so he could reach her better. Jon’s rock hard morning erection was already eager to be relieved.

Melody rolled to her back as Jon’s hands snaked between her legs.

Jon groaned when he felt Melody’s wetness against his hand. He moved and braced his hands next to her shoulders and bent down to kiss her.

“Jon.” She moaned.
“Mmmmhmmm.” He kissed down to her neck.
“No Jon.” Melody tried again.
Jon looked up at her with surprise.” What?”
“Do you have condoms?” She asked
“What? Why? You’re on the pill.” He said confused, she had told him months ago, were they being unsafe the entire time?
“I am but I noticed I might have forgotten once or twice last week.” Melody confessed, she felt so stupid about it.
Jon sat down next to her. “You’re…”
Melody shook her head immediately. “It doesn’t go that fast but let’s not take the risk.” She had to convince herself too.

She’d only missed one or two days, but she still had a few days to go, so it was still safe, right?

Jon couldn’t believe it, could it be possible?

Melody sat up next to him. “Did I turn you off now?” She asked.
Jon leaned forward to kiss her and rolled her back to her back. “You couldn’t do that, impossible.” He smiled, his kisses trailing over her neck again.

Jon reached over to the nightstand on his side of the bed, pulled open the drawer and looked around for condoms, finally finding them in the back. He gave the square package to Melody.

Melody ripped it open, rubbing his length before sheathing him.

Jon groaned and groaned again when he entered her. Melody moaned as he started thrusting.

While thrusting his hips he bent down to kiss her breast before taking her nipple in his warm mouth, toying with it with his tongue.
Melody said his name when he sucked hard and quickened his tempo. She moaned as he thrusted faster until he emptied himself between her clenching walls with a groan.

Jon bent down to his elbows, pushing her up when his hands snaked under her shoulders. “Good breakfast.” He said before he sucked her bottom lip between his.

“What about some real breakfast?” Melody asked, even though she was closer to work, she still had to get up and go there.
“Pancakes?” Jon asked hopeful.
Melody chucked. “You always want pancakes.”

She gave him a last kiss before getting out of bed, putting on some jeans and a t-shirt and went to the kitchen.

Richie was already sitting at the dining table with a cup of coffee.
“Morning.” Melody greeted him. “Do you want pancakes for breakfast?”
“Sounds good.” Richie got up from his chair and followed her to the kitchen to sit on one of the high chairs.

Jon came in the kitchen freshly showered, hair wet and only wearing jogging pants.
“Aw man, cover up.” Richie shaded his eyes from the sight.
“Melody likes it, don’t you?” He asked looking over at Melody who was making pancakes.
“I love it.” She said and emptied her frying pan on a plate next to the fire.
“What are you making?” Jon asked, not seeing the usual pancakes.
“I’m making the ones like they do in Europe.”
“Crêpes?” Jon asked.
“Yeah.” She said as she put his plate in front of him.

After breakfast Melody went to Jon’s room to get ready for work. She hadn’t been able to talk to Richie during breakfast but hoped she could later tonight.

In the kitchen she gave Jon a kiss goodbye and hugged Richie before leaving.

Melody liked the fact she was so close to work when she was at Jon’s. She loved Woodbridge but had thought of moving to the city many times. With joint custody of the kids she couldn’t move outside the state without losing custody and of course she couldn’t do that.

She knew Robert could get a much better job in the city though. They had been offering it to him for years. She was sure they still wanted him but she was also sure he wouldn’t take it, because if he did Melody could move too and that would make her life a bit easier, so that wouldn’t happen. Robert knew she wanted to move to the city, they had talked about it many times.



After running into one of the suitcases when he said goodbye to Melody Jon finally decided to put them away. He’d unpack later.

Richie and Jon left around 9 to go to the concert hall where they were having rehearsals. They only had this week to rehearse. Next week Jon’d do the paper work, he would be off to New Orleans for the white house council and Friday they had a concert.

When they walked into the concert room Tico was already there, showing someone around the stage. That must be their replacement.

Phil introduced himself to Richie and Jon when they got up to the stage and David followed soon after.

“Alright, let’s get this started.” Jon said and looked across the room to the sound and lightening booth. “Tony, Obie, you ready up there?” He was surprised his mike was already on.

The lights went on and they started the first song, practicing the newest ones and the songs they rarely played.

After an hour they took a break. Richie told Phil some more about the riffs, solos and bridges while Jon went up to the sound booth.

“How do we sound?” He asked as he walked into the room.
“Pretty good.” Obie said. “Phil will catch up by tomorrow.”
Jon nodded, he was sure he would.
“How’s Richie?” Tony asked, looking away from the window that overlooked the stage.
Jon shrugged, hardly painful this time; Melody’s lotion must be working after all. “He seems alright. He always seems alright.”
“He hides it.” Tony said, he knew how important Richie was to his older brother.
“I’ll better go back out there.” Jon said while getting up.

Tony followed him out of the door. “What about you? Are you alright?” He asked.
Jon sighed. “I hate that he’s going but I know it’s better for him if he does.”
Tony nodded, he understood. “Don’t forget you still have Tico and David too.” Tony said.
This time Jon nodded.
“And Matt and me.” Tony said with a smile, Jon always referred to his band mates as his brothers but Tony and Matt were his brothers too, in a different way. “Now give your little brother a hug.” Tony said with his arms wide open.
Jon laughed. “You’re an idiot.” As he hugged his brother.
“Learned from the best.” He slapped Jon’s back before letting him go. “Now go sing some songs.” Tony said and went back in the room to manage the lights and screens.
