Chapter 12

Bri flopped down on the couch and grinned, her eyes moving from the richly appointed living area to the three, count them three separate bedrooms in the suite. This was no motel 6 room, it was evident in the plushness of the carpeting, to the utter comfort of the sitting area.

"The boy knows how to pick a room I'll give him that. Hell we even have a mini bar."

Geena was pulled from her thoughts at the sound of Bri’s voice. Turning she moved to the chair and plopped down into its comfort. "You ain't kiddin. Look at this the view! We can just walk out on to the beach! It sure beats the fuck out of Ohio for sure."

Carly laughed and twirled out to the balcony. "And NO SNOW!"

"Hallelujah " Geena laughed and lifted her arms skyward. “Noooo Snow for a whole week!”

Bri stood up and started towards a bedroom door, curious to see exactly how big a bed the place had only to be pulled up short at the knocking on the door. "Ok did anyone order anything? Are we expecting anything? We've only been here a ten freaking minutes!"

No and we didn't forget our luggage," Geena laughed "Because we have none."

Bri shook her head and walked to the door. Opening it, her eyes went wide. Holy fuckin .... It was them at the door? They came to them personal? The first glimpse of Richie had the fan girl in her mentally screaming, and before she did something she regretted she reacted. She slammed the door and raced to the bedroom squeaking at Geena. "YOU GET IT!"

Jon smiled as the door started to open, his eyes dropping to recognize the necklace he'd ordered for the angel. When the door slammed in his face he started laughing loudly, his eyes turning to Richie. "You see that man?" Well that's a new one. Grab me kiss me scream. They do it all but slam the door in my face? Now that's original.

"I think so, as fast and blurry as it was." Richie managed a slight grin. It had been a quick blur, but he’d seen the twinkling of the necklace riding on a lovely swell of breasts, long dark hair and light eyes. Fuck what little he’d seen had looked delicious.

Geena shot a strange look at the retreating squeaking back of her friend. "What the fuck Bri? " She stood up and walked to the door speaking as she opened it. "I'm sorry 'bout my friend..." HOLY FUCK! Geena took a deep breath to calm her momentary freak out. Calm down girl! One door slam would be ok, two? They might leave. "Hi, come on in."

Jon's gaze traveled along the woman’s face, from silken raven hair to the prettiest brown eye's he'd seen to date and lower only to grin at the mic necklace. "Well you know who we are obviously. You must be Geena?"

Geena willed herself not to shake then spoke, " Yes," and smiled a big smile.

He held out a hand and nodded, "Well I'm Jon, nice to meet you."

He side stepped around her and started into the living room. "The two silent ones behind me are Rich and Dave, but somehow I think you just might know that too."

"C'mon on in, sorry for our disheveled state but we really didn't have time to do anything but sit down." Geena chuckled, " Bri you just saw,” she pointed to the closed bedroom door. “She's in there but I'm sure she will be out in a moment and this one over here is Carly." She nodded to the friend who had her eyes glued to David.

Carly moved forward, she could feel her knees quaking and with a downward glance saw her hands trembling. God just looking at him had every sensor on overload, she felt like a tightly wound spring ready to pop. Her eyes zoned in on the man she'd dreamed about for years.

"Hello."

David grinned, his eyes taking in everything about the girl, from her curly blonde hair to her bright blue eyes. Hell she was almost like his twin, only cuter. Reaching out his finger, he flipped the little piano charm on her necklace. "Well well, hello there gorgeous."

"Hello yourself David, " Carly responded, with the slightest tremor in her voice. Geeze, he gets near and I can't even talk without it sounding shaky too?

He grinned slightly and offered her his arm. That little tremble thing had all his protective instincts rising. Sounded cute as fuck though. "Don't worry sweetness, I'm not THAT crazy. I won't hurt ya. Lemme prove it too ya. Bet you're hungry after that long flight. How about we make our way to a nice quiet corner for a meal and a chat?"

"I would like that very much." Carly smiled, his gentle voice settling a little bit of the shakes she had going on. Steeping forward she slid her arm through his, letting him lead her wherever he wanted to God, he's really taking me to dinner? I hope I can eat the way I'm trembling, knowing me I'm gonna end up with a chest full of food though.

David started towards the door, gently guiding her as he walked. "See you two suckers later."

Geena watched her friend leave and chuckled " Well, I knew she would be fast, but that fast? Has to be a record for a guttergirl."

Jon grinned and watched Geena. She didn't seem flustered at all. Usually fans were all giggly and way too talkative, yet she was acting like seeing him was an everyday occurrence. "So the trip over, was it ok?"

"Yea I must travel first class more often. Have a seat." Geena suggested as the nerves inside started building to the point of exploding, but no way she was gonna let it show not in front of him.

He took a step forward and grinned, then leaned in a little closer. "How about a walk along the beach instead? I"d like to hear more about that little forum you've been building. Not all you want man, shes fucking beautiful, but its a start.

He held out his arm and smiled. "Shall we Mistress of the Jovi's?"

"That sounds like a fantastic idea, been itching to plant my feet in that sand since we got here." She smiled as he offered his arm, her heart starting to feel like it was coming from her chest. To touch him? Good god, she'd never make it out of this walk alive. He was hotter than the sand, sea and sun combined. And Damn he smelled good on top of that She was gonna be toast. She just knew it.

"Well shuck off them shoes girl, we'll stop along the way so you can get out of those winter clothes before enjoying the sun."

"Sounds like a plan." Geena quickly slid out of her boots and wiggled her toes and sighed. "Yes much better,"

He started towards the door with her holding onto his arm and grinned. Maybe this idea of Richie's wasn't so bad after all. As he opened the door and ushered her out he smiled. "So tell me what got you interested in running that site."

"Well to be honest, I have been on loads of sites and they had set rules that just plain sucked. I don't follow rules well. But I started writing just for shits and giggles never dreaming there were others like me, until one day I was surfing the net and found a fanfic and thought well shit I'm not a lunatic after all. Well the more I thought about it, I decided why not have a forum so fans or readers can come to one place to read find out about Jovi or whatever all in one place, and voila Dirty lil Secrets was born."

He nodded as he listened and guided her towards beachfront entry. "Tell me more pretty Geena."

"What would you like to know ? " She took a deep breath and steeled herself for any question he could come up with.

"Everything."
