Chapter 25

Gia fought back the tears, how could she not know she was pregnant , now it was gone , no chance of getting used to the idea poof. gone natta , and her heart broke for her lost child . What could Jon think of her for not knowing . Her head was turned , as she gazed the wall , she didn’t hear him come in .

“Hey” he reached out and touched a lock of hair gently. She looked so sad. “Told ya I’d be right here.”

Gia turned on her side to face him , she reached his hand , grasping it close to her  “I’m sorry so sorry , I had no idea honestly “ she rambled quietly , tears welled in her eyes .

Sorry? she was sorry? Why was she sorry? He frowned, “Gia, it’s not your fault, it’s not any-ones fault these things just happen.”

“But I should have known, how could not know I was pregnant . A woman is supposed to know these things and I didn't “ Gia sobbed “I didn’t even get a chance to get used to the idea , not like it probably was the right time for you anyway but still “

“Gia, Gia...” He sighed and slipped onto the bed pulling her into his arms. “Maybe it wasn’t the right time, but that doesn’t mean tomorrow isn’t.” As soon as the words were out of his mouth he wondered. Did I just really say that? Could I be a father? He had no doubt that Gia would make a wonderful mother but him a father? He was a fuck-off most days and did nothing to change the fact even though he was well aware. What kind of father would he be traipsing around the globe, living the fast life. No, it definitely wasn’t the right time for that. Then why do I still find myself thinking about how nice it would be?

Gia stared at him for a few moments , Did he really mean that ? Did he want a baby with her ? She hadn’t even thought that far ahead but when they told her she lost his baby , it left a deep hole in her heart , she didn’t know was there.  The more she watched him , the sadness tucked deeply behind those blue eyes it tugged at her heart , What would they have done if this baby would have survived? She hadn’t a clue but seeing the sadness in his eyes there was no doubt he was grieving as much as she was considering they hadn’t had a chance to wrap their minds around that she had been pregnant  “I just can’t believe I didn’t know . “ her hand absentmindedly slid down to her stomach.  “A baby , I never even thought about it now it seems that's all I think about . “ It hit her what he had said tomorrow “Wait , did you just say what I think you just said , you wanna try again? “


Jon paused, did he? “Well uh, I don’t know Gia, I don’t know if I would say we should try but I,” He frowned as he tried to get his thoughts and feeling together in a way that would make sense to her. “I don’t think I really wanna worry about stopping it. “ That was the truth. Why should they take precautions? Why not just let nature take it’s course. In his mind it would be like a sign. If it happened again then it was meant to be. If not, well then they knew. The guy upstairs always knew what was best. He truly believed that.

Gia thought over what he said it made sense , if it did happen again , she would make sure she would do everything right this time.  She would take notice of all the signs , then a dreaded fear struck her , She gazed up “ What if I can’t carry a baby? “ She prayed she could.  It was just one of those things , the doctor said Yea maybe medically but to her emotionally it was more than one of those things . A woman was born to do this -- why did she feel like a failure.

“No, no baby, you’re fine really.” He rubbed her arms reassuringly and hugged her against him. “Believe it or not the Dr. said this is normal, nothing is wrong at all your perfectly fine and after some rest and healing, you’re good to go. Seriously Gia, that's what he told me and he’d know. It was just a fluke.”

She hugged him tightly with a slight smile spoke  “Yea he told me too , I’m Italian we’re built to have ton’s of babies “ she tried to joke  “You know we have to find other ways to pass the time for a few weeks ‘ her hands resting on his arms , that caressed her .

He chuckled a bit “Yeah I know but we’ll be ok. You and me, we seem to be pretty good at pulling fun out of our asses ya know.”

A burst of laughter escaped Gia, “ Yea we do , don’t we ? “ pausing for a moment , she glanced up at him “OH this should really give the asshole plenty of ammunition to fire at you , Are you ready for another lecture ? I honestly haven’t meant neither has Em meant to cause any trouble for you . “ her eyes searching his .

Jon shrugged “I don’t want you or Emmie worrying about Doc ok? and that’s an order.”  he dropped a kiss on her cheek.

“We just don’t want any trouble for you is all “ Gia answered her finger stroking his cheek

“You let me worry about me ok?” He kissed her tenderly “I got this...”

‘I love you , I can worry about you if I want “ Gia smirked then grew serious “Does anyone know I’m here ?  “


His face broke out in big grin at her confession. “I love you too and yes I made a few phone calls don’t worry, besides your outta here in the morning so I just told everyone to get some sleep. I took care of everything.”

“Thank you , you’re so good to me . If you’re fan’s knew just how sweet you are, I might have to fight them off “ She said trying to stifle a yawn .

He chuckled “You rest now baby ok?”

Her eyes drifted close “Ummhmm , you ain’t leavin’ are you ? “ snuggling down against his warm embrace , the steady beat of his heart lulling her to a peaceful sleep.

“No, I’m not going anywhere, I promise.”

“Good, “ Was the last words spoken , as Gia drifted off , the hole in her heart was still there but with Jon being there made things all right and that's all she needed .

Chapter 24

Chapter 24

A little over a month later of pure blissfulness with Jon, Gia awoke in the middle of the night ,grasping her stomach. At first she thought maybe it was time for Auntie Flo to make her appearance.  It had been a good 5 weeks since she had hers and this one was out for vengeance it seemed , she slowly sat up but as she did so another ‘cramp ‘ blindsided her causing her to let out a soft shrill. “ Fuck! “ .

She tried to climb out of bed and make it to the bathroom , but each time she moved the pain grew worse. What the fuck was going on ? She has had bad cramps before but never to the point where she wanted to cry.

Jon stirred when he heard her low swearing and cracked open an eye lid. “S’matter baby? “ He asked sleepily.

Gia gritted through the pain. “ I dunno -- Fuck me this hurts . Thought it was my period coming but this aint right I don’t think ? “

Jon frowned and sat up reaching over to flip on the light. He squinted in the brightness and turned. He placed his hand on Gia’s back and rubbed lightly, reassuringly. “ Want me to get you some aspirin honey?”

“Help me to the bathroom please ? Hell its never been this -- “Gia gasped the moment her feet touched the floor a gush of blood streamed down her leg . “Something isn’t right about this “ she winced doubling over in excruciating pain .

Jon frowned when she gasped and came fully awake. Her appearance finally catching his attention. Her face was white, her forehead beaded with slight dampness. He came around and steadied her looking down he swore. “Sit down babe, I’m calling for help.” He tried to keep the panic out of his voice but it was a hard. His brain raged, what was going on? He crossed to the phone, dialed the front desk and explained that he needed paramedics. placing the phone back into it’s cradle he came back to her. “It’s gonna be ok baby. ok? I don’t know what’s going on but help is coming ok?”

Gia slumped back on the bed ,curling in a ball , trying to will the pain away. Tears glistened her eyes ‘I hope they hurry , it hurts so bad. “ she pleaded her voiced coated with pain. “Its never hurt this bad baby , something is wrong I know it. “

Jon knew something was very wrong. There was much more blood than there should have been, even being a guy he knew what was normal when it came to things like that. He racked his brain. How could this be happening? Wouldn’t he have known if she had been pregnant? He glanced down at the spreading blood and prayed for help to arrive. Obviously not... It seemed like hours but in reality was only minutes before there was a knock and the paramedics announced themselves. He dropped a kiss on her forehead and hurriedly let them in. As they came thru the door asking questions Jon lowered his voice and whispered to the man in charge “I think... i think she’s having a miscarriage.” As strange as it seemed, as careful as he’d been it was the only reason he could think of for this to be happening.

The medic nodded. “Don’t worry sir we’ll take good care of her.” him and his partner immediately went to work. “ Hi ma’am you’ll be just fine. " he said re-assuredly , as he began his quick assessment . then murmured to his partner to radio in this was definitely a miscarriage in progress.

They slowly moved her to the gurney , Gia’s eyes were filled with a mixture of fear and pain , she held her hand out for Jon “I’m scared. “ She had no idea what was goin’ on and at the moment to scared and in pain to care . She just wanted to feel better.

“Don’t worry babe, I’m comin’ with ya. “ He grabbed his jacket and followed the whole group out staying near to the gurney as he could without getting in the way. ‘It’s gonna be ok I promise... trust me?”

Gia nodded as she winced again another sharp pain ripped through her . The medics loaded her quickly and carefully into the ambulance and whisked her off to the hospital which thankfully was only a few short minutes away.

Once at the hospital, The medics unloaded her , speeding her through to an empty room where a doctor was waiting . Gia pleaded with them to let Jon stay “ Please I need him. “ tears were falling down her pale cheeks .

Jon brushed her hair back from her forehead, ‘Baby I just gotta step outside for a few minutes ok? They need some information so they can help you. I won’t be long I swear.” He kissed her cheek. Feeling her pain and sadness just as deeply as she did. “I’ll be right here when you wake up ok?” He nodded at the Doctor who gave the nurse the ok for sedation.

“You promise ? “ She asked as her eyes grew heavy , “I’m so tired , I love you. “ then her eyes grew shut , a soft peaceful snore replaced the painful cries she had been voicing a few moments ago.

“Damn it Gia, I love you too.” he swore. Shaking his head he backed away, knowing she was in good hands. He found himself a seat in the waiting room and thought hard. The shock of what had just happened settled in deep. They’d made a baby? How? When? Ok, he knew how but when? He had to smirk a bit asking himself such a silly question. It could have been one of any of the many times. He was almost always careful... almost. So, he’d forgotten once or twice, he didn’t think......a baby... shit, wow. He ran a hand thru his bed tousled hair. No, no baby, not now. Was he happy or sad? He didn’t even know, he was still in shock. The idea of a baby with Gia had never even entered his mind before but now....

“Well, I'll be god damned.” he laughed a sad kind of laugh. Funny time to realize you’re in love with the woman Jon.

The doctor walked out after what seemed like hours to find his patient’s boyfriend “ Excuse me , Mr Bongiovi ? “

“Hmm? yeah, yeah that’s me... she’s ok right?” he stood quickly. His face hopeful.

“Yes , she is gonna be fine , but I’m sorry she did lose the baby.  We did perform a d/c on her and stopped the bleeding and had to give her some blood as well but with some rest, she will be just fine. And  she will be have more children. " The Doctor paused casting a sympathetic look towards Jon. I’m sorry I have no explanation for why it happened sometimes , its natures way of when its not right to -- well you know again I’m sorry “

Jon listened, divesting all the words, his brain working over time. he nodded “I ... we... didn’t even know.” He shrugged, a confused look on his face. “I... I’m just glad she’s gonna be ok. I was.......scared.... thank you.... can I see her soon?”

“ You may go in , she’s asking for you . ‘ The doctor said with a sympathetic tone , sometimes he really hated this part of his job “IF everything goes alright she can go home tomorrow . “

“We’re uh... we’re traveling... is... can she?”

“Yes she can travel. She just needs lots of rest and don’t have her overdue it for awhile and lastly no sex for about 6 weeks. Make sure she has a check up within that time frame. One reason for no sex is to heal the other is her body isn't ready for another baby quite so soon. “

Jon nodded, “I’ll make sure she rests and.. thanks.” He grabbed his jacket and made his way back into her room.

Chapter 23

“Where we goin’ Richie?” Emmie peered out the windows as the car made it’s way thru downtown New York City. It was so big! She was so glad that interview was over, if she had to wait another minute she thought she just might die. There was so much to see and they were only there for two days!

RIchie should have known before they left for the interview, something just wasn’t right with Em but before he could inquire about it , they had to go . Once they stepped out of the interview, he had to get her back to the hotel,  Not sure how he was gonna bring her down from this high . “Baby , we’re going back to the hotel “ he reached over , pulling her closer to him into a tight embrace.

Emmie hugged him back for a split second the wriggled away far enough to frown at him. “Back to the hotel?” Her disappointment was evident. “But, I thought we might go to central park, or the empire state building or... or something.” She pouted, “Can’t we? Please? Your shows tommorrow so we wont have time! I know I said I was tired before but I’m not now.”

“Not til you come down from your high baby. Can you tell me what you took ? “ Richie asked soothingly into her ear.

Emmie managed to look completely perplexed. This was the second time today someone had told her she was high! As if she took illegal drugs or something! She looked at Richie, a bit of her upbringing showed in tone when she answered. “I didn’t take anything to get me high I just took your energy pills, you know the ones you keep in the white bottle in your knapsack.”

Richie pinched his eyes shut , Damn’t I knew I shouldn’t have lied to her about those “ Darlin’ that wasn’t energy pills , “ He paused briefly  “It was amphetamines “ . I only use it when I have had a really bad night the night before and I have to get through a busy early morning “

Emmies frown grew deeper. “Anfet...amphet... am... WHAT?” she scowled at him. She took drugs?? He took drugs?? what? Her head was spinning so fast she couldn't comprehend anything.

‘Amphetamines its used as a pick me up. I didn’t think darlin’ you would have “ Richie let out an exasperated sigh. “I don’t use it that often , honest baby “

She sat perched on his knee, her foot tapping rapidly on the floor board. “You take drugs? You take drugs!” She slid off his lap and balled  up her tiny fist then slugged him solidly in the arm. “Richard Stephen Sambora you got me high!” she accused indignantly.

‘I didn’t I didn’t know you were gonna take it baby , I swear “ Richie winced as her small fist connected with his arm , it hadn’t hurt not physically anyway . The guilt part now that was a different story .

“You lied!”

“I well -- yes I did I’m sorry “ Richie dipped his head in shame “ Forgive me ? “

“Hmph!” She slid over against the other door, her arms crossed and didn’t answer him. Well this is just great! I’m high!?  She was angry. Her day was ruined and he’d lied to her. If he lied about those darn pills what else did he lie about? And he did drink too much! Even if he wouldn’t admit it! She wasn’t so high she forgot about that! Now what was she gonna do?? What did someone do when they were high on drugs? She didn’t even know. How long would this last? She shot Richie an indignant, silent glare.

Richie you dumb-fuck! what the hell were you thinkin’ ? He admonished himself   “Honey I’m sorry please I figured if I told you the truth you would -- leave or somethin’ . I’m sorry I lied “ He slid over to her but her body language spoke louder to him if she would scream at him .  He sat back , resting his head against the back of the seat  , Great just great fuckhead, you fucked things up already .

Emmie tried to make sense of what she now knew but her head was all fuzzed and her body just didnt want to sit still. Now that she knew what was going on she wasn’t sure she liked this feelin at all. As they pulled up to the hotel, she didn’t speak a word, merely grabbed the key from his hand and exited, heading to their room. She had to do something, anything. Didn’t he know how dangerous it was?? Why would he do it? Tiredness was no excuse! Energy pills, coffee, that was one thing but drugs? She fought the urge to stomp her foot in frustration as the elevator doors opened onto their floor. She fumbled with the key, swearing softly under her breath until the door finally opened. Once inside she tossed the key on the bed and dove for his knapsack. Fishing out the offending pills she shot him a look as she crossed to the bathroom and dumped the entire bottle into the toilet then flushed not once but twice. Once all evidence was gone she flung the bottle at his feet and dared him to say a word.

Richie watched her bolt into the hotel , and with quick long strides caught up with her , not a word said the entire elevator ride and to the room. He watched her dash around the room with a confused expression as she preceded to dump his whole stash of Amphetamines down the toilet.  “Baby?” He called out to her but she stood steadfast , anger radiating in her blue eyes , arms crossed .  Would she ever forgive him ?

“No! No, don’t you baby me Mr.!” She shook her finger at him, the high of the drugs and her anger taking hold, making her unable to control her emotions. “those things could kill you!” she shouted then tears welled up involuntarily. “Kill you Richie!! Then... then.... what would I do????”  She was shaking from just the thought. How many times had she seen him go to that bottle and take what seemed like handfuls at a time? My God, those and all the drinking mixed? She sat down hard right where she was on the floor and shook her head, “What would I do?” The last question was said in barely a whisper. More to herself than to him.

“Baby, “ Richie called out again , as he bent down to join her on the floor “  I’m sorry I didn’t think well we don’t think on the road , seriously its just out there and well we try it , I didn’t think this was as bad as the other stuff that's out there “

Emmie shook her head. She couldn’t speak. Didn’t he understand? She loved him! If anything happened to him it would kill her! She simply looked at him sadly.

Richie snaked his arms around her , hugging her tightly then softly stroked her hair. “I promise not to anything like that again , I didn’t think of the consequences really we don’t . ‘ He hoped and prayed he just didn’t totally fuck things up with probably the best thing that happened to him in a long time.  Her reaction took him a bit off  guard none of his girlfriends before cared , hell they joined right in .  She’s not like his other girlfriends he sternly reminded himself.

She wanted to pull away, she was still that angry, she was still that high. But, the instinct to simply hold onto him won out. She melted into his arms and closed her eyes. Her heart was still speeding along  and her head wasn’t exactly calm but his embrace mellowed her out just enough for it to be bearable. How long they sat like that, she didn’t know. She didn’t care, she was just happy things were starting to feel somewhat normal again and that those dreaded drugs were gone. After some time she buried her face in his shirt and inhaled his scent then whispered “ I love you Richie.”

He leaned in pressing a kiss to her forehead , paused a moment as thoughts raced through his head , She loved him ? Did he love her back ? Yes I think I do -- well else did I feel like if she walked out , his heart feeling the beginning pangs of heartache .  “I love you too Em darlin’ “ , he tilted her chin and sweetly kissed her .

Chapter 22

Surprisingly they hadn’t even been missed. The boys were still in with the radio dj’s  and a few moments later , they stepped out .Richie quickly rushing off a very high  Em into a car apparently he had noticed she had been too and wanted to get her back to the hotel as soon as possible . She chuckled it was very clear that Richie hadn’t given her anything , Em stumbled onto something Richie has taken around her. But what ? She definitely made a point to ask Jon later.

A few moments after Richie hustled out of the building , Jon exited with Doc whom yet again were in a deep conversation before Doc walked off flashing her a curt smile and out the door he went too.

Jon sighed a relieved sigh and grabbed Gia’s hand “Now, lets go get some grub eh? I’m starved.”


Gia nodded. “I think my stomach wants to eat itself , I’m so hungry “ she followed him out the doors and into the awaiting car.  “So what was  grumpy ass bitching about now ? “ She asked as she settled into the backseat.

Jon shrugged “Same shit different day Gia.” He smiled down at her as they got into a waiting cab. “So ya wanna go back to the room and order in or ya wanna go find something else?”

Gia smiled naughtily. “ IF we go back to the room , I don’t believe we will eat -- food that is and my stomach needs nourishment. “

Jon snorted,” You’re so right babe.” He leaned forward and spoke to the driver telling him where to go then sat back and relaxed.

Gia smiled when a few moments later , they arrived at Antonio’s again “ You didn’t ? Thank you. “ her eyes glittering with happiness . , She then took his hand and stepped out of the cab.

Jon simply smiled and led her back in, they were seated and drinks were ordered. He sat back and watched her. Was she a distraction like Doc said. Yes, yes she was. a big distraction but... it was a distraction he wanted, no needed. A distraction that grounded him when his head got to big for his shoulders.

A comfortable silence befell them , while they waited for their drinks. Gia wondered nervously if she should bring up the dreaded relationship topic or not , sucking in a deep breath then slowly exhaling , she spoke. “ I did some thinkin’ today.  “ Her eyes gazed down at the napkin, she was nervously playing with. “ thinking about us and where this was headed. “ she swallowed hard not sure if she wanted to meet his eyes when he answered.

He raised an eyebrow. “Oh yeah?” He casually took a sip of his drink. So she’d been thinking too. That was a good sign. Or was it? he frowned for  split second. “So uh, what was the verdict?” He cautiously asked while racking his brain for something, anything he may have done.... or not done to piss her off.

Gia chewed on her bottom lip , her gaze meeting his. “ I’m not used to this -- I don’t know what to do -- next  I never gotten this far before. “ she reluctantly admitted.

Jon nodded thoughtfully. Ok, so she hasn’t told me to fuck off yet, that’s a good thing. “Yeah, well I have, but um, my track records not really the greatest so...” He chuckled a bit nervously. “We’re kind in the same boat here I think,” After a few more moments of thoughtful silence he asked, “Are you happy out here Gia?”

“I am for the first time I hadn’t thought about my family , the resentment gone. “ Gia softly smiled “Even my Nana, and I think about her everday usually. “

“Does it bother you when I’m busy?”

Gia thought about it for a moment. “ Well I miss you but I know its your job and thats your nature to work work work. “ she winked “No it doesn’t bother me. “

“You miss me?” he grinned

“I do “ She smiled shyly

Jon nodded and reached across the table grasping her hand gently. “Well, I don't want to miss you, and that's why I...” He cleared his throat before he spoke. “Why I’d really like it if you’d stay with me, here, on the road, be my girl... ya know?”  He looked at her hopefully.

Her eyes widened as she searched his in depth “ You really want me to be your girl ? I never been any-one's girl before -- I know I talked big when we met but I really am not like that. “

“I know.” he reassured her.

“So whats next , bet you think its funny for a girl of my age to have her first boyfriend at 21. “ Gia said as a tinge of red crept up on her cheeks.

“Nah.. I think it’s kinda cool actually.”

Gia smiled ,she leaned over and kissed him  , the moment she did their dinner came .  Her eyes lit up good ole fashioned Fettuccine Alfredo , garlic bread and a green salad/vine-grate . “Oh this smells delicious “ a with a lick of her lips she dove into the feast before her.

Jon watched as she ate with relish. What’s next she’d asked. Hell if he knew but at least they were on the same page. He knew now she felt just like he did. He smiled as he scooped a big bite to his lips. It was nice to know you weren’t alone. So, so nice.


After dinner they shared a slice of Carmel drizzled cheesecake .  Gia cut a piece with her fork then fed it to Jon . She was his girlfriend , giddy was an understatement in how she was feeling then she remembered the other thing she had wanted to discuss with him  ‘Baby , did you happen notice how -- well high Em was ?”

High? Emmie? Jon frowned as he chewed “Uh, no not really why?” Sure, Richie had been a little wired today, but he always was. Jon knew Richie did his own thing where that was concerned and didn’t say a word so long as it didn’t interfere with business. Rich was his best friend but still a grown man and didn’t need him as a babysitter.

“Well while we were waiting on you to say she couldn’t sit still was an understatement . We went for a walk and I barely could keep up with her , had to take off my heels and practically run after her . And she talked about a mile a minute . She was on something I am sure of it. “

Jon looked shocked, utterly and truly shocked. “Are you sure??”  He even scratched his head in bewilderment. The thought of Richie’s lil lady higher than a kite was just so off the wall to him.

Gia nodded “ I am positive it was more than coffee , I got the blisters on my feet to prove it. “ she chuckled lightly .

Jon sat thinking silently for a moment. ‘Well, I mean, ok I know Rich dabbles in...stuff. hell, I’ve dabbled in stuff.” he shifted a bit uncomfortably in his chair. He felt like he was betraying his best friend admitting it. “But I don’t think he’s give it to Em... I don’t think?”

“I don’t think he knowingly gave it to her the way he booked out of the radio station , I think he did figure it out though  “ Gia added in a bit of defense of Richie .

Jon nodded, “Yeah he’d know what signs to look for that’s for sure.”

“I’m just wondering what ? I’m concerned for her. She is very impressionable. “ Gia remarked .

Jon reached across the table and squeezed her hand gently. “I wouldn’t worry too much, honestly I’m sure Rich will take care of her.”

“I hope so , she really hasn’t been around this type of -- well you know , sex drugs and rock and roll lifestyle-- in her mind if she sees him doing it then it must be ok for her to do it. “  Gia explained .

“Maybe she’s just experimenting ya know.”

“True , I guess then but if it becomes a habit ? Then I may have to say something. “  Gia warned not wanting to put a damper on their wonderful evening but she was very protective of her cousin

“I think you’re just over reacting cause your in shock. It’s just so unlike her ya know. I think you should just keep an eye out but maybe not make a big deal about it cause I mean, hell Gia your not much older than she is so I’m sure you remember how it was when you first started tryin new things. You sure didn’t want someone preachin to ya about it right? Even if they had a good point.”

“Yea, I suppose you’re right , I’m sorry if I’ve overreacted just never seen her like that or even consider wanting to try it , hell she has never been drunk before. “

Jon squeezed Gia’s hand affectionately then chuckled “Babe, the girls been shacked up in Richie Sambora’s hotel room for the last what? Three weeks? I guarantee you she’s been drunk... VERY drunk.” he winked.

Gia laughed “ I supposed now that I think about it , you’re right , I guess I need to let her grow up to huh ?  Oh hell, Uncle Daniel will have a coronary  if he knew. “  then finished the last of her wine.

Jon snorted ‘Well I sure the hell aint tellin him!” he threw back his head and laughed, ‘Hell no.”

‘Why he scare you ? “ Gia teased “ He’s all bark no bite -- well most of the time anyway. “

 “Yeah, I’m just glad he ain't YOUR dad.” Jon chuckled and paid the bill, scribbling his signature on the credit slip he helped Gia out of her chair. Taking her hand and leading her out the door he chuckled,  “I do wanna be a fly on the wall though next time he and Mr. Sambora meet.” Jon winked and they both crawled into the cab heading back toward the hotel and the comfort of their room. Laughing all the way at visions of the confrontation.
