Chapter 55

Richie met a ferocious looking Jon in the sitting room.

“No I haven’t talked to her yet, for fuck’s sake.”

“Oooh shit..what did I interrupt? Oh fuck…”

Richie just had to look at Jon’s disheveled hair, the skew way his shirt was hanging on his shoulders, the jean button he missed.

“Oh fuck doesn’t even cover it, asshole.”

Richie slapped him on the shoulder, he felt real shitty for interrupting Jon, but hell how was he suppose to know that Jon turned into a horndog again?

“I’m sorry bro’, but by this time I thought you asked her already.”

“Asked me what?”

Megan looked beautiful with her wet hair and pink blush covering her cheeks.

“Ahem, ok I guess that’s my cue to buzz off, huh?”

Jon stopped him.

“Well since you are here, you can just as well sit it out.”

Megan wasn’t sure what to expect and sat down. Her legs still felt a bit rubbery so her legs welcomed the gesture.

Jon and Richie sat next to each other, staring at Megan.

“I would like to know if you would like to tour with us?”

This was the last thing she expected and she turned her eyes from Jon to Richie and then back to Jon.

“But why?”

‘Well we are in need of a wardrobe assistant, since she dropped the bomb and told us she was pregnant. Obviously hubby didn’t want his pregnant wife, touring all over the world, working long hours. You mentioned you were qualified in that department and since you are out of a job and single, its kinda perfect. ”

Jon tried to be as calm as possible but his mind screamed, begging, hoping she would accept.

The longer Megan stayed quiet the more the guys moved around on the sofa.

“Uum..wow. Well thats a wonderful offer. May I think about it? How long is this tour gonna be? What will the salary be?”

Her eyes rested on Richie and he immediately knew what she was on about.

“About eight to nine months.”

Richie leaned back against the sofa, trying not to let Jon see his face.

“Tell him” his mouth formed.

Jon realized Megan was staring at Richie and turned towards him.

Megan shook her head. “Not now”

When Jon turned back the moment had passed. Richie shook his head at her.

“Is there a problem?”

Megan almost shouted the answer.

“NO! I mean no. I just have to plan a few things before I can say yes.”

“How long will it take for you to decide? I can assure you, you will receive a salary above the norm.”

“Give me a few days, ok? I won’t let you wait too long.”

Jon stood up. He craved to feel her in his arms but somehow he knew the moment was gone and seeing that she had to sort her things before she could answer him, he decided to leave her at that.
