Chapter 13: Girl [and guy] interrupted.

He's coming!' she almost shrieked as Johnny broke down the door with an axe. She turned away and held onto Jon's shoulder as he chuckled at her, 'Don't worry it's just a film. Jack Nicholson isn't really a mad axe murderer, i've met him!'
'I can't watch' she said, still with her hand on his shoulder looking the other way.
'You wanna turn it off?' Jon asked, looking at her profile in the dim light of the TV.
'No! We've come this far i need to know how it turns out!' she said adamantly. Jon just continued to laugh, 'but you're not gonna find out if you aren't even looking at the TV Shorty!'

She went to turn back round just as Jon turned to say something to her...All of a sudden their faces were just centimetres from each other. She could feel his breath on her cheek. Jon couldn't bare it anymore, he moved forward ever so slightly, touching his lips onto hers in a barely there kiss. He moved back not wanting to pressure her, but she responded by returning with another kiss, soft and slow. Jon tilted his head and brushed his toungue....
'BRIINNNNG BRIINNNNG' Jon practically leapt to his feet as if his mum had just walked in on him smoking his first cigarette when he was 12.
'I'll..urm..just get that.' Shit he thought as he walked to the phone.

She just sat there trying to process the situation in her head. Watching the film but not really seeing it. Damn. I so should not have let that happen....

'Sorry to disturb you Mr Bon Jovi but there is a Stuart Cooper on the line' the concierge said over the phone, 'Right put him through thanks....Hello?'
'Oh hello is that Jon? I was told this is the number i could reach him on?' Jon sat on an armchiar next to the phone, 'This is him how can i help you?'
'You may not remember me but i was acting as a St John's Ambulance First Aider at the Wembley Concert tonight and i was...' Jon suddenly put two and two together 'Of course that's right i'm sorry. Have you found Shor....erm, her family yet?'
'Well no sir, unfortunately no one came forward after the announcement during the concert. Perhaps she went alone. Anyway come the morning i am sure someone will be missing her and we should be able to match her with her family' Stuart replied.
'Well that would be good' Jon said as he watched her apparently engrossed once again in the film.
'Anyway the reason i was ringing was just to ask how the young girl is? I'm sorry about the lateness of my call, i tried earlier but i could get no answer.'
Young girl. She really is just a young girl....a young girl with amnesia. What the fuck are you doing Jon? This is a new low even for you!
'That's no problem really' Jon said snapping back out of his thoughts, 'She seems fine, she has eaten and is just watching a film'. 'Well that's good news, i am sure we will no more in the morning, thanks again Jon'.
'Thanks for checking up, it's above and beyond it really is'.
He returned the handset to the cradle and sighed to himself.

Jon sat back down on the sofa next to her, picking up the remote he turned the tv off. 'Hey i was watching that!' she said turning to look at him, 'The Wife and Kid get away, he freezes to death. We need to talk' Jon replied, seriousness suddenly in his voice.
'Who...who was that on the phone?' she asked thinking that something bad had happened.
'That was a guy called Stuart Cooper, remember him?'
'sure he was that nice First aid guy, did he find my family?' she asked hopefully.
'Fraid not' Jon said selfishly wanting to move on to more pressing issues...'Oh' she said quietly, sinking back down into the sofa.
'I wanted to discuss was what just happened between us' she just looked at him, so he continued 'look i won't deny i am attracted to you...alot. But i think i have lived up to my rock star credentials and acted with my dick and not my head'.
As she heard that she choked slightly on the diet coke she was sipping.
'I - I just think that...well i am quite a bit older than you. And from a whole other continent. And well i don't know anything about you...hell neither do you! I just think that in the circumstances....'
She spoke up interupting his thoughts 'No i totally understand....i think it was the vodka and...i...it shouldn't have happened'.
Jon nodded, 'Great, so we can start over?'
She smiled and nodded 'Friends?' she said offering her hand.
'Friends' he smiled taking it and shaking.
