Chapter 119

The next morning Jon was up rather early to have gone to bed at 2 am. He watched Melody sleep, her peaceful figure next to him. When they had gone to sleep, she had snuggled up to him but she must have moved away while they slept.

He loved the way she looked, her face was peacefully relaxed, her full breasts, her belly. For a second he thought about what they might or might not have lost. Maybe someday.
After a few more minutes, he got up from the bed, he had work to do.

When he walked back into the room, freshly showered, Melody was just getting dressed. “You’re leaving?” 

He asked a little confused, he’d be back some time tonight.
“Yeah, you’ll be gone all day anyway and my kids come home tomorrow.” Melody explained.
“I guess you’re right. So I don’t get to see you for two weeks?” He asked.
“I’ll miss you too but think of the welcome home sex you’ll get.” She walked over to him, wrapping her arms around his neck with a smile.
“I like that.” He bent down to kiss her.
“Do we have time for breakfast?” Melody asked, not ready yet to say goodbye.
“I’m sure we do.” He gave her another short kiss.
After breakfast Jon went to get ready before they got in the elevator together. It was closer to noon by now and Jon was sure the rest of the band was waiting for him by now.
By the car they said goodbye, kissing each other.
“Phone me tonight?” Melody asked.
“I’ll try.” The first chance he’d get today just might be after the concert on his way back he’d be in a helicopter, he’d be home well past midnight.
“Just wake me up.” She said before giving him another kiss.


At home Melody did her usual Saturday things which mostly existed out of cleaning and facebook. She remembered she still hadn’t phoned Rob back to see why he needed to talk to her, she had been otherwise occupied the past week. Tomorrow would be good enough to talk to him.



Once Jon’s helicopter landed, he took his phone out and dialed Dorothea’s number, asking for Jake when she picked up.
“Happy birthday.” He said happily when he heard Jake’s voice on the other end. “Have you decided what you want to do tomorrow?” He knew tomorrow would be a busy day with his son and he loved it, he looked forward to it.



Melody started a movie around the time she knew Jon was going on stage. She didn’t feel like being on facebook and getting the play by play. The movie was more boring her than entertaining, after an hour she gave up and went to bed to read her book instead.



Way past midnight, past the first hour of the day, when Jon was finally back in his own bed, he looked over at the picture of him and Melody on his night stand. He had made a copy of it, so he always had one to take in his bag while he was gone. It seemed a long time ago even though it was only a few months, it seemed they knew each other for ages.
He picked up his phone and pressed speed dial 2.
