Chapter 100

Jaden was so energetic, by the time the plane lifted off, Megan was bone tired. It was his first plane ride ever and the thought of being in Bon Jovi’s private plane was just too much for the boy. About five hours into the flight Jaden fell asleep, the newness had worn off and boredom took over.  Secretly, Megan was thankful that it was a nonstop flight to Helsinki, just imagine the length it would have taken if she had to pay for the tickets! It paid to know celebrities, that’s for sure.

Did it pay to have his child Megan? The accusing voice was back. How many people have you hurt by getting pregnant? Her eyes strayed over her son’s sleepy form, a mirror image of the young Jon. Now your most precious possession is going to get hurt as well.

“Oh God, please let him be ok! I need him to be ok!” her prayer was lost in the huge lonely cabin. She pushed it to the back of her mind and turned her attention to the movie.

Jaden’s eyes were sparkling, his cheeks flushed as the limo drove them to the hotel.

“My friends are never going to believe this! Bon Jovi’s own plane and now a limo! MAN!!”

“Settle down peanut, you’re going hurt your shoulder.”

“Naw I’m good. I cant wait for the show tonight!”

“Me neither. I love to watch them live, they are just the best live band I’ve ever seen.”

The door of the limo opened.

“Of cause you do. You’ve had a crush on them since before I was born!”

“Not!”

“Yes you do mom, and I think you have a thing for Jon.”

She pinched his cheek and slapped him on the butt as he walked in front of her. She couldn’t help the silly feeling in her tummy as she relived her younger years and the day she met the wild haired, blue eyed rockstar with his tight jeans and oh so heavenly furry chest.

Their conversation was interrupted when she signed in and received their card.

“How would you know? You’re too young for things like that!”

By that time their banter brought them to their floor.

“If Jon is close by you, you get all goo goo eyed. I saw you!”

“Oh shut up, you little wise ass!” she pulled him closer for a quick hug.

“Oh my gosh! Look at the room! It awesome!”

His mouth was literally hanging open. She was used to all the luxury by now, but to him this was all new and so exciting.

“Close your mouth honey. You might just swallow a bug or two.”

“Who is getting all goo goo eyed?”

“Jon!!”

Megan’s heart started a wild gallop, threatening to put her in cardiac arrest.

Jaden’s evil little smile spelled trouble.

“Jaden!”

“I just said my mom has a crush on someone and that she gets all goo goo eyed when she sees him.”

Megan walked closer and gripped his neck in warning, squeezing gently.

Megan was definitely embarrassed, he enjoyed seeing her in this compromised position and even though he might not like the answer, he couldn’t help but to drag it out even longer.

Leaning against the doorframe, his shirt tightening as he folded his arms, Jon didn’t have a clue how incredibly sexy he looked at that moment. The glint in his eyes lighten the color of his irises, the unruly locks lying carelessly over his forehead and the lopsided grin. Oh my God the lopsided grin!

Megan didn’t realize she was staring until Jaden nudged her ribs.

“There you go mom! Getting all goo goo eyed again! See I told you!”

“Wha…ohhh you!”

Jon’s loud outburst startled them both and Megan started giggling, a guilty flush warming her face. Jaden was laughing so hard, he doubled over and at that moment he didn’t realize how much he looked like his father just then. Jon basked in the knowledge that his son realized something he didn’t and his heart felt lighter.

The two adults noticed the uncanny resemblance of the child and their laughter drifted off, their eyes locking as they held the same message in it.

“Oh so now you two are both goo goo eyed! Geesshhh!!”

Jon ruffled his hair.

“I don’t get goo goo eyed. EVER.”

“You just did! I saw you Jon!”

Megan didn’t say a word, tonight’s reveal was staring her in the face and suddenly she felt very scared.
