Chapter 65

Geena had just laid down for some much needed rest when her phone rang again. "For the love of God Britt!" She screamed as she debated just letting it ring, like the past million and one times before. She groaned and picked up the phone. Might was well answer, I'll never get any sleep otherwise. All she wanted to do was go off to dream land and picture Jon in those leather pants she'd seen in the pics online recently, but no Britt had been pestering her all night.

Picking up her cell she glanced at the display only to see it wasn't Britt, but another of the Jovi girls, Patty." Hello Pats,what's up ?"

GEEEEEEEEEENA!!!!! OHHHHMY GODDDDD!!! Is it true?? Oh my god oh my god.. tell me tell me Is what Bri saying TRUE??? Did you really go to Hawaii?? Did you really get to meet Jon? And Bri!!! Is she spendng time with Richie?? Oh god.. how? How'd you swing that one?? You haven't said a word you little stinker!!!!"

Geena winced from the squeal that vibrated through the phone. It damn near could pierce her ear drums. "What in the hell are you going on about at," She glanced at her clock, "Two A.M. in the morning Patty?"

"Oh don't play all coy Geena!" The voice on the other end of the phone ramped up a notch. "HE answered Bri's phone! They were together! Brittnay told me all about it. ARE they together? OH MY GOD! She's had him?? Come On! Tell me girl, give me Deets! I'll keep it quiet, I will!! Is he as big as they claim? I mean my God! YOU met them? Can we get tickets? Where's pictures of something other than the beach? I just KNOW you have pictures of Jon and the other guys!"

Geena groaned and rolled her eyes and tried to play dumb for all she was worth. "Who answered Bri's phone? I dunno what you're talking about. Jared?" Geena tried to feign innocence, even as she knew it wouldn't work.

"RICHIE FUCKIN' SAMBORA! OH come on shes your best friend!!!! She was with him!!" She squealed again. "We have girls that met them? Can we get tickets? When can I meet them?"

"Listen Patty, nothing is going on okay? We went to Hawaii. That's it. Bri decided to go to San Jose, she has a little money and no job so she can travel around more. We know she has to keep a step ahead of Jared. We don't know them personal like although we did meet them. We hung out a bit and that's it . No we can't get tickets and no you can't meet them. It was an accident by chance sorta thing that's all." Geena mentally crossed her fingers and hoped that was enough to satisfy her. She knew it wouldn't be, but she hoped with all her might that it would be.

"Oh yah and that's why HE was answering Bri's phone at like 3 in the morning? Cuz it was an accidental hang out?? COME ON Geena, I'm not that stupid!"

"I have no idea why he is answering her phone, he is crazy like that. Could have been just hanging out. It's no big deal Patty."

"Never knew ya to be a liar before Geena. Britt heard him big as day. I thought we were friends. We always said we'd tell each other on the board everything if we ever met the guys." The voice paused.. "Ooooh maybe they aren't that good? Is all the hype about them lies?? Just wait til I tell Myrtle!"

Geena's temper started to rise " Listen Patty, don't tell anyone about anything okay? There is nothing to tell. How would you feel if you went and spread lies around huh? Don't think the guys would like that too much."

"Ohhhh, so now its the guys huh?"

"It's always been the guys hasn't it?" Geena tried to remember the different names she called them.

"Okay then, so don't tell me. Obviously its just the special few that get to hear the goodies. And here I was thinking this was different from the other sites. You always swore you hated the cliques and it would be fair and equal here. I can see that's just not how it is."

The connection died as Patty disconnected the call, the silence on the other end almost as deafening as Patty's screams had been.

"Fuck! " Geena screamed. She was about to toss her phone then decided to call Bri. Why the hell didn't she give me a heads up? She muttered violent curses as she dialed Bri's number.

Richie heard the little trill of Born to be my baby and frowned. That was the first time he'd ever heard a ring tone on Bri's phone. Flipping it open he brought it too his ear. "Hello there."

"Hello to you to Rich. Can I speak to Bri or do you have her tied up," Geena teased.

"Not tied at the moment," he chuckled. "But she's not able to talk. What can I do you for?"

"First of all why in the hell did you answer Britt's call?" She couldn't keep the dissatisfaction out of her tone.

He blinked at the frustration in her voice. "It was late. I didn't think. I mean come on Geena, She answers my phone for me if I'm busy."

"I have had nothing but phone calls from Britt asking all sorts of questions they shouldn't be asking and now Patty's started up. They want answers. I skated around shit but fuck they don't believe me."

He bit back a sigh, "It can't be that bad can it? I mean Bri explained it, how some of the girls on your board are, but really. What would be the harm in them knowing ya met us?" He grinned and put a little pout into his voice, "not ashamed of us are ya?"

"Hell no I would shout it from the rooftops if I could, but you know damn well how Jon feels about that shit. And if they even suspect we have done more than meet, which they are by the way, it won't be good. It's gonna be hell. Patty is already going on about getting tickets and meeting you guys."

He'd had the benefit of experiencing a few more than resourceful fans at times. It always ended with him more naked than clothed. "Bri said to just lie to them?"

"Been there tried that have the tee-shirt for the club. It doesn't help when you answer her phone. She actually got pissed, saying that only a select few is privy to the information. Hell that is not true no one knows or didn't know. Now Britt and Patty both know. Patty swears she's gonna tell Mrytle, and who knows who all else after that."

"So its just those three. Nothing to worry about. I won't let anything happen. If press comes I'll control it. Already promised my baby to keep it private."

"For now its just those three. Jon will have a shit fit, you and I both know that. I should have never posted those Hawaiian pics but I didn't think there would be any harm in posting beach pictures," Geena sighed.

"Welcome to my world Geena."

"Yea not sure if I like this part of it." She paused a moment as a thought hit. "Wait, how come I can't talk to Bri?" Geena suddenly realized he never given the phone to Bri.

He glanced over at the sleeping beauty in his bed. They'd had a late night the day before, and very few hours to go before they traveled to the next town. "She's sleeping."

"Oh ok,"Geena said with a bit of disappointment in her voice,

"I'll tell her to call you later, when shes awake. I'll give her my phone. But if ya don't mind pretty Darlin, I think I'm gonna go nap with my lady." Richie smiled and watched Bri stretch, the covers sliding over her trim form. "Richie has an itch."

"Thanks for telling a girl that hasn't had an itch scratched in quite awhile now," Geena said with a bit of mixture of frustration and irritation.

Richie's brow flicked up, "Uhh sorry?"

"Sure you are . You can pass your buddy a message that if he ever gets those tickets out he better get his rest beforehand." Geena joked as she laid back down in her bed. " Don't forget to tell Bri to call me."

"Message noted Mistress Jovi." He chuckled lightly, "I'll tell Sabrina, after shes well rested."

"Thank you. Go get your itch scratched . I'm gonna go dream now," Geena said and hung up. She sat her phone down then pulled the covers up, snuggled into her bed and closed her eyes to dream of the man in those tight leather pants .
