FLA 27

Ch 78

After Stephanie's parents said goodnight she finished cleaning her face from all her tears and brushing her teeth moving over to her computer. She sat down in front of her computer to see her IM window blinking.

**Chris** You around?
**Steph** Yes.
**Chris** R U OK?
**Steph** I'm just very confused.
**Chris** I'm sorry about earlier
**Steph** between you and my dad I don't know who to be more upset with.
**Christ**That's something u need to decide**
**Steph** why did you flip on me?
**Chris** "Just pissed that u let ur dad control u
**Steph** do you see it differently now or are you still pigheaded?
**Chris** I guess I understand
**Steph** its not like I said we can't do anything I just don't want your dick inside me just yet
**Chris** But u do want to be with me eventually right?
**Steph** yes why do you think I told my dad no to 17?
**Chris** He told me that this was your decision and if u didn't want to take the ring u didn't have to.
**Steph** I told you the same thing but you didn't listen.
**Chris** It was different coming from him I guess
**Steph** how?
**Chris** I don't know it just was
**Steph** that doesn't explain anything.
**Chris** He just made me realize that I should have let you explain things
**Steph** probably from years of experience getting in trouble with mom from not letting her explain and jumping to conclusions.
**Chris** Could be. He told me the first mistake I made was arguing with you
**Steph** I respect your opinion Chris but you didn't even know the full situation before you got mad that I wont' deal with
**Chris** I know and I'm sorry
**Chris** Can we start over?
**Steph** I don't know
**Chris** I understand
**Steph** do you or do you just think you know?
**Chris** I was wrong to go off on you like that
**Steph** yes you were.
**Chris** When you said you didn't know about starting over what exactly did you mean by that?

Steph smiled at her computer maybe he can be taught she thought.

**Steph** I meant that I don't want to start over I liked where we were in the relationship we just need to stop jumping to conclusions. Its supposed to be us against the world right?
**Chris** Yeah I guess so.

He sighed leaning back into his chair realizing that she did still like him.

**Steph** what are you guessing about?
**Chris** I just agreed with you. Things don't come across right when you type. lol
**Steph** so what did your mom say when she found out I was at home?
**Chris** She was pretty relieved and so was your dad
**Chris** And me
**Steph** I forgot for a moment dad would have thought kidnapping cos of who he is. He wasn't too happy with me.
**Chris** I think you really scared him
**Steph** Yeah I'm on the bad daughter list until he realizes he only has one daughter.
**Chris** Did he yell at you?
**Steph** No exactly he did that I'm disappointed talk with me.
**Chris** Did you make up though?
**Steph** oh yeah, he and mom went to bed kind of early tonight so I'm thinking I'm off the hook.
**Chris** What does them going to bed early have to do with you getting off the hook?
**Steph** Something tells me dad will be happy in the morning.

A few days later Chris and Stephanie had done a little talking but not nearly as much as they would have liked because both sets of parents had kept them busy doing thing at home. It wasn't intentional it was just the normal summer craziness that happens to every family. Jon and Dot had agreed to let Stephanie go to Chris' grandfathers to go horseback riding for a day which made the young couple excited they would be able to spend some time together. Chris' dad had picked up Steph around 7 am in order to get to the ranch before 9 am. The entire way there the young couple sat in the back of the vehicle talking.
"Thank you so much for bringing me with today I love horses."
"I'm glad you wanted to because it get's boring here by myself."
"How can you be bored around such beautiful animals."
"I don't mean that, just riding by myself. My dad usually talks to gramps while I go riding on the trails.
Just as he said that the car came to a stop and they were surrounded by farm land with a few trees in the distance which is where the trails were. "Well we're here." he smiled opening up the door and helping her out.
Steph took his hand immediately. Her eyes wide open enjoying the seclusion and yet openness of the land.
Tim walked over and hugged his dad. "Hey Dad how are you?"
The elderly man hugged his son back. "Just fine son. How have you been?"
"I've been doing great, I'd like you to meet someone, this is Chris' girlfriend Stephanie. Stephanie this is my dad Al Brackman." Tim introduced them.
"Good morning Mr Brackman its a pleasure to meet you and your home and land are amazing, thank you for allowing me to come over." Stephanie says.
"You are very welcome young lady." He smiled as he wiped the sweat from his brow with the well used hand towel in his pocket. Up until just a few minutes ago he was tending to the horses. "Does that grandson of mine take care of you?" he asked smiling at Chris.
Chris reached for Stephanies' hand while smiling. "I learned from you gramps so you know I do."
"Yes sir he does, he's amazing, you must have taught both Chris and his father well." Steph smiled.
"I like to think I did." he laughed. "Would you like me to fix you guys breakfast before you go riding?"
"Mom fixed breakfast before we left. Are you hungry Steph?"
"No I'm not but thank you for asking, my dad fixed us breakfast this morning." She responded.
"Really? I didn't think your dad cooked." he laughed. "Dad we will be back later, we need to get everything ready to take the horses."
"Dad made us french toast." She laughed.
He took her hand into this and started walking across the field to the barn. "Must have been having a good day." he joked.
"Hey now dad has lots of good days." She smiled.
"How girly are you Steph?"
"What does that mean? I' think you've seen some of my girly parts." She laughed.
"I just mean we have to go through that to get to the barn." he pointed to the mud just a few feet away. "Normally its not that bad but apparently it rained." he laughed.
"I got boots on." She smiled and walked into the mud.
"I love a girl that's not afraid to get dirty." he smirked playfully then hit her on the butt.
"OH I like that." She smiled at him.
He saw that she was out of the mud he suddenly got a mischievous grin on his face when he saw the bale of hay right behind her.
Steph kept walking out of the mud and turned to look at him. "I like those jeans on you."
"Yours aren't to bad either." he smiled. "Curves in all the right places."
"Glad you like my curves." She smiled and shook her hips like she's seen her dad do so many times."
His grin widened as he walked over to her slowly. "You shouldn't do that it puts thoughts in my head."
"What if I like where those thoughts take you?"
Without any warning he used his football skill and ran towards Steph tackling her making both of them fall down in the hay. Chris was laughing uncontrollably when they landed and another small bale of loose hay fell on them.
Steph about busted a gut laughing too, "So how much credit do you got for sacking the girlfriend?"
"How much do you wanna give me?"
"i'm thinking you might get 2 kisses and a hug.' She smiled.
"I'll settle for that." he smiled.
"OH that's settling?" She smirked looking at him like you better dig yourself out of this one budy
"I just meant I would be happy with that."
"Good." She smiled and reached up and kissed him
He wrapped her up in his arms as they laid there. "You know I'm a pretty lucky guy."
"You think so?" She asked kissing his neck.
"I know so." he smiled enjoying her kisses.
"I'm glad we got past that fight the other day." Steph moved to get out of the hay.
"Yeah I just knew that you would hate me. But I'm glad we could talk it over."
"I don't understand?"
He stood up and lead her into the barn to get the saddles and pick out a horse for each of them. "It's just that you were really mad when you left and if your dad hadn't talked me I probably never would have sent you a message that night."
"Chris you have to really want to be with me then you can't give up on us when we fight, its gonna happen and I know that after watching my parents, they've been together a million years they know that stuff and they told me."
"Your dad told me to just agree with you." he laughed. "He said whatever I do never tell you what do."
"Dad's a dork." She laughed.
"Smart dork sometimes." he laughed.
"After all he's kept your mom happy for a long time."
"They've just worked things out. They never give up."
"Well I want us to be like that."
"Well then we need to do 2 things." Steph said brooming the hourse.
"What's that?"
"Well one thing is we have to promise to never give up."
"That I can do."
"And we have to work at things, communication is mandatory."
He tossed the saddle on the horse then turned back around to her. "I'm sorry what did you say?"
She reached over and spanked his ass. "You are horrible." She said then put the saddle on her horse.
"What?" he laughed walking over to help her. "I love ya Steph."
"I love you too." She smiled.
"Do you need some help getting on Rocket?" he asked grabbing a couple of treats for the horses.
Steph was about to say no but then thought she could get a little more touching from him. "Yes please."
He bent his knee so that she could use it as leverage while he placed his hand on the back of her leg until she could stead herself enough to climb on. Once she was safely on he walked over and with no effort at all was ready to go. "I'm gonna take you the long way around today is that okay?"
"OH that's fine." She smiled as she settled in the saddle. "God I love the freedom of horse riding."
"Being with someone you care about while riding makes it alot better though." After that was said he lead her out of the barn down to a trail that allowed both of them to ride side by side.
"Thanks for bringing me out here."
"Not a problem. It's nice to have somebody to come out here with, none of my family really like doing it except for gramps."
"Do you get to do this often with your grandpa?"
"I used to spend summers out here and every weekend up until last year."
"Wow that would be great, I don't get nearly as much time with my grandparents."
"Well I just have gramps now though." he told her sadly.
"When did your grandma pass away?"
"She got really sick last year which is why I couldn't stay, gramps took care of her so I would have just gotten in the way."
"I'm sorry, I'd be so upset if I had anything happen to my grandparents."
"My mom and dad said that she's in a better place now but I still miss just hanging out with her." he smiled softly. "Do you still have all your grandparents?"
"Nope, I have my dads parents but mom's parents both are gone."
"Did you get to know them?"
"A little, mom's dad I didn't really know well at all he died when I was only 2. Mom's mom though I remember, I was 6 or 7 I think when she died."
"So you really didn't know what had heppened then. It's worse when you actually know or at least I think it is."
"I still miss them, luckily I have dad's parents. We're pretty close."
"Do you get to spend weekends with them or anything?"
"I used to all the time but now Dad bought them a place in Florida so they are gone quite a bit. They are due to come home for a while soon." She told him and then looked around. "Oh can we go over to that pond?"
"Yeah sure."
They trotted over to the pond and let the horses drink while they hopped down. "I always come here just to think."
"How about make out?" Steph asked him.
"You know you don't have to ask me twice."
"I wasn't offering" She smiled, "I was asking if you have?" She toyed with him.
"Oh." he smiled blushing slightly. "No you're the only girl I've ever been out here with."
"Now its an offer." She told him with a smile.
"Why don't we go over there?" he pointed towards huge apple tree sitting beside the pond.
"Sounds great." She smiled taking his hand.
Before walking over he tied up both of the horses leaving enough slack for them to still roam around easily. They walked hand in hand over to the tree and sat down. "I love this place."
"Me too, its gorgeous" Steph sat down near the pond, "What do you want to be when you grow up?"
"I don't know really, probably a doctor."
She tilted her head and asked, "Really? What kind?"
"Pediatrician I think. I would really like to work with the terminally ill kids." He told her honestly wondering what she would think.
"Really?" Steph was astonished. "That would make me so sad."
"It is but at the same time I would like to think I could make a difference and maybe save a couple of 'em"
"Wow that'd be amazing. See I'm not much of a science girl."
"I could always teach you if you want." he smiled. While sitting there looking at her, his thumb moved over her index finger softly. "What is your big dream in life?"
"To have the kind of marriage my parents do. I want to be happy and know without any doubts at all that I'm loved 100% for being me."
"I would love to be that guy if you would let me."
"I'm talking about 30 yrs from now not next year."
"So are you saying you dont want it to be me?"
"I'm saying I'm not thinking about marrying you I'm only 15."
"Oh, but I can be that guy that loves you for being you." he smiled softly.
"That I will completely let you." Steph says softly wondering if he truly will.
He leaned over kissing her softly on the lips letting his hand touch her face.
"I love that."
"Me to." While looking into her eyes, his hand went from her face down to her neck then over her shoulder.
Steph smiled and layed back on the grass, letting him keep touching her, however in her mind she couldn't quite drop the questions in her mind, does Chris really want her for her and not her name or money.
His hand wandered over her body but he noticed that she wasn't as into it as normal. "Is something wrong?"
"My brain won't shut up." She admitted to him.
"Did I do something?"
"No honey. Its just" She said but stopped, its hard to talk about this stuff with people that don't live in her world exactly.
He propped himself up on his elbow waiting for an answer. "Just what?"
"Ok." Steph sat up running her hand through her hair. "This is really hard to talk about but being who I am, makes me wonder if people really like me for me and want to love me and kiss me for me or because my last name is Bon Jovi."
"So you think I'm just in it for your last name and money?" he asked a little offended.
"I didn't say that and please lets not fight again because we don't fully listen to each other."
"Well what did you mean then?"
"I just wonder, its odd, I've seen people pretend to be my dad's friends and then try to sell stories about him. I've had it happen already where friends or those I thought were my friends sold pictures of me to photographers. I'm not saying you'd do that but stuff like that is always in my mind." She stopped talking for second. "Even on our first date I was constantly looking for photographers because thats the life I have."
"Steph I don't give a damn who your dad is, I'm not dating him."
A tear fell from her eye. "You don't get it."
"No I do get it. You have people using you constantly because of who you are, I'm not like that."
"I wish you understood, I'm not accusing you."
"I'm not saying you are, I just want you to know I'm not like them. If it will make you feel better when we go out I'll be on the lookout for people to."
"Can I train you on where they hide?" She asked him instinctively looking to the bushes to see if any are around.
"You mean they have their own areas?"
"Mostly they have patterns. If I'm with my dad all bets are off lately, they'll walk right up to us. If I'm on my bike or somewhere by myself, they'll be in the bushes. Like if this was public property they'd be in that bush, and also that one." She points to each side of them about 20 feet away.
"But they arent Steph, believe me we are 100% safe here."
"Yeah here, but I'm just saying." She layed back on the grass.
"But I don't understand why they have to have pictures of you, you aren't the famous one."
"I've got his DNA. You know how JLo sold pictures of her kids for like 20million bucks and Angelena and Brad sold thier kids pictures?"
"Yeah."
"Well my dad told them all to eat shit when we were young. Now we're all pretty much school age so I guess they think we're fare game. I get more cos I'm oldest and the only girl - they can't figure out which one of the boys is which so they can't sell them if they can't tell the magazine which one it is."
"Makes sense I guess."
"Sorry if this bumbed you out, as we are together longer I'd like to know I can talk to you about this stuff."
"No it didn't, I just didn't realize you went through all of that."
"I don't admit it often. No one else - well actually Jesse is the only one I've talked to about this cos he's dealt with some of it too."
"Have you talked to your mom and dad?"
"No that'd make them feel horrible."
"But it's not their fault, besides maybe they can help you out with it."
"How?"
"I don't know. They've both dealt with it forever so maybe that have a couple of pointers." he told her honestly. "And besides that I saw how you looked around earlier for somebody and you shouldn't have to do that."
"I can talk to them but what I want more is somebody to talk to, who'll just know that this is one of the things being with me means and sometimes I just want to voice it to get it off my chest. Then I'm good."
"You know I'm here for you when you want to talk okay."
"I'd like that." She smiled. "Can we go ride for a while now I've been serious long enough."
"Sure"

Later that afternoon Jon was out in the studio putting some things away since he had given his word to his wife that there would be no music for a couple of years so that they could have family time. As he was cleaning he ran across a magazine that Steph had left out there and on the cover it said "How to bringing dating back into a marriage." He laughed at the title then suddenly got an idea. Before Dot went on her little getaway they were supposed to have went on a date but didn't make it. He grabbed the phone of the desk and dialed the main house number.

The phone rang and Jake looked around, no adult was about to get the phone so he reached up and grabbed the phone. "Hello, who dis?"

"It's daddy and why are you answering the phone?"

"Cos mommy busy, Hi daddy where you?"

"I'm in the studio." Jon smiled listening to his son. "Let me talk to mommy."

"Why?" Jake questioned walking through the house with the cordless phone not knowing exactly where mommy was.

"Cause I need to talk to her."

"Ask nice." He joked with Daddy.

This kid was so much like him when he was younger it was to funny. Jon answered with a small laugh. "Can I please talk to mommy?"

"Yes, one moment pees" Jake laughed then looked in the kitchen. "mommy, daddy needs you." Jake then handed her the phone.

"Thanks Jakey." Dot smiled and took the phone from him. "Hello Jon, Jake said you needed me."

Hearing her voice made him feel like a teenager asking her out all over again. "Are you busy tonight?"

"Um busy being a wife and a mother, why?"

"I was just wondering if you would like to go out with me tonight."

"I'd like that very much." Dot smiled.

"I'll pick you up in a couple of hours and dress casual."

"What time will you be arriving?" She played the game with him.

"Let's see it about noon, so how about 2."

"And you do realize I have children right? I'll need to find a babysitter."

"Taken care of." he smiled.

"Oh really?" She smiled walking out of the kitchen picking up toys from each of the kids while she does.

"Yeah I know a great nanny."

"OH you think you have it all covered huh?" She smiled opening the door to Jakes room putting his toys in, then opening Romeo's door to put his toys away.

"Uh huh I like to think so." He walked around the studio picking up guitar cables lying on the floor. "And just so you know I find moms very sexy." he smirked.

"Well hopefully not ALL moms." She laughed. She then opened Jesse's door and saw something that made her drop the phone. "Jesse James!" She hollered and grabbed the phone again slamming door. "JON GET IN THE HOUSE."

"What is it?" Jon asked running out of the studio and into the house. "Where are you at?"

"Our room." She told him once she arrived in the room and started pacing.

He had heard that tone of voice before and knew that somebody was in trouble he only hoped it wasn't him this time. When he got into the house he jogged up the steps and made his way to their room. "What's wrong Dot?"

"You need to talk to your son."

"About?"

"Playboy magazine - which I can only assume is yours. I opened the door to his room and found him "reading" it."

"Hell Dot I used to look at 'em all the time when I was his age, but if it makes you feel better I'll go talk to him."

"Thank you."

"But I'm throwing it away." he laughed. He better not have that one with the football article in either."

"Will you not tell me these things?" Dot told him.

"What? That it actually had an article?"

"Jon if you want that date tonight just go talk to him." Dot shooed him out with a slap on the ass.

"Yes ma'am" He told her as he walked over toward the door. "I'll be back shortly." He walked out the door and went down the hallway and knocked on his son''s door.

"What?" Jesse hollered.

"Can I come in?"

"Yes." Jesse said sliding the playboy under a blanket.

Jon opened the door slowly and walked into his sons room then sat down on the bed. "Where is it Jess?"

"What?" Jesse played innocent.

"You know what." Jon told him.

"No idea dad."

"The magazine son where is it?"

Jess looked down, ashamed that he'd been caught. He slid the magazine out from the blanket and handed it to his dad.

"Where did you even get this from?"

"From the night stand." Jesse admitted knowing he was in trouble. Right now he hated being a teenager.

"And you were in your mom's and my room because?"

"I was looking for the Soul calendar." Jesse liked looking at the soul mates.

"That is in my office hanging up."

"Well I knew your office is off limits and I figured you may have had another hanging around."

"Why did you want the soul calendar anyway?" Jon still didn't understand because it had the players on it.

"It has the Soul Mates on it."

Jon's smile grew now understanding. "They are a group of very beautiful ladies. But why didn't''t you just ask your mom or myself for a calendar. You didn't have to say why you wanted it."

"Dad!"

"What?"

"This is embarrassing enough. Does this go away?"

"You mean the need to relieve a little tension?"

"Lack of better term - yes."

"It does but it's only because you actually learn how to control it. I remember when I was in school and just about your age actually....the one day that I got called up to the board I had a hard on from hell so I had to hold a book in front of me the whole time." he laughed thinking back but back then it didn't seem to funny so he could understand where his son was coming from.

"Dad thats not funny."

"It wasn't then but now that I think back on it, it was. Look what I'm saying is that everybody has went through what you're going through right now. I did, my dad did, and on back to his dad."

"Can I have the magazine back then? If this is natural why are you taking it away?"

"Because your mom wanted me to come and talk to you. I don't have a problem with giving you the magazine back because I know how important it is." he smiled. "But whenever you do look at it just lock the door okay."

"Thanks dad." Jesse said taking the magazine back from him.

"And until you can learn to control things and know when you are getting close, I would suggest turning some kind of music on." he told him hoping that he would understand.

Jesse looked at him like he had 3 heads but nodded his head in agreement.

"You didn't understand a word I just said did you."

"not really."

"Just that when you look at the magazine and you start to touch yourself you will feel the urge to make all kinds of noises and that's why you need the music or tv on."

"Touch myself?" Jesse asked him, "I don't do that."

"You don't? Then what were you doing when your mom came in?" Jon was totally confused because the way Dot talked she caught him doing something.

"Looking at the pictures."

Damn it! Major payback for this one. Being the dad, Jon knew he had to explain this eventually so now might as well be that time. "You never have touched yourself?"

"Well when I wash myself in the shower. When it gets hard I take a shower to make it go away."

"Son if you depend on a shower the next few years we'll run out of water." he laughed.

"DAD!"

"I'm just saying!"

"Thats not helping."

"Look what I mean is that you're going to have to help relieve some of that pressure building up when there isn't any water around."

"Thats what girls are for."

"Sometimes they aren't though so you have to count on Rosey Palmer and her five sisters." Jon laughed.

"What?" Jesse didn't understand him

Jon held up his hand "Palm....five sisters." he told him wiggling his fingers hoping his son would catch on.

"Seriously?" Jesse knew his dad told him lots of strange shit in his life but this one takes the cake.

"It's what I depend on when I'm on the road." he told him honestly.

"Why don't you just call mom and tell her you need some loving?"

"It's not that easy when I'm in another country."

"Its not like she can't get on a plane, dad we're a little rich in case you missed the memo."

"I'm rich." he smirked. "Besides that she can't just up and leave you guy here so I just have to settle for a phone call."

"Sucks to be you." Jesse told him.

"Sometimes it does, even more than you know."

"But do you understand what I'm telling you to do though?"

"Rub it with my hand to make it go away."

"Pretty much." Jon stood up and stretched while looking at his son. "Any more questions?"

"Not right now. But dad?"

"Yeah?"

"how long before we can have conversations again that aren't about something embarrassing?"

"Whenever you want to talk son. I'm here."

"Thats not what I asked dad - now I know why you're always in trouble with mom."

"Why does everybody assume I always get in trouble with mom?"

"Cos you do, we weren't born yesterday."

"I've straightened up though." he smiled leaning up against the desk. "And to answer your question, I don't think there are to many more embarrassing conversations."

"Good cos I'm so done with them."

"Just remember when you think that something only happens to you thats not true....it happens to all guys."

"Thanks." Jesse says so ready to end this embarrassing talk.

"If you don't have any more questions I'm gonna go get ready for my date now."

"Who you dating?"

"Your momma, who do you think?"

"I don't' know but don't' you get married to stop dating? Oh and don't let her hear you call her momma she doesn't like it."

"Gotta keep the romance alive man. And since when does she not like that?"

"Mom, mommy and mother are ok, momma makes her face scrunch up."

"I've never even notice that."

"Trust me on this one dad. So where you taking her?"

"To dinner in NY and one more special thing, but don't say anything cause she doesn't know."

"Ok, have fun." Jesse said tuning his dad out.

"We probably won't be back tonight so you get to stay with the nanny."

"Oh yeah. Staying in SoHo?"

"Probably so." he told him walking over to the door. "We'll see ya again before we leave though."

'OK."

Jon walked back down toward the hallway to their bedroom and saw Dot in the closet picking out some clothes so he sat down on the bed.

"that took a while."

"I had to figure out a way to pay you back."

"For?" Dot asked still walking in and out of her closet trying to find clothes.

"The way you talked I thought you caught him in the act but he was just looking at the pictures."

"And thats quite enough. My baby boy does not need to be looking at nude women he' only 13."

Jon cringed knowing that he was probably going to get his ass kicked for leaving the magazine in there.

"What'd you do Jon I know that face." Dot asked turning to look at him.

"I kind of let him keep the magazine."

"What? I'm sorry I think I misheard you."

"No you heard right." He stood up and walked over toward her. "He's just a curious teenager okay and I would rather him look at pictures than random girls he goes to school with."

"Why the girls he goes to school with are real and not airbrushed porn stars." Dot asked Jon wondering just what he was thinking.

"I understand that but he's getting to the point where he has to take showers to cool off so to speak and this is just going to make it easier for him. And before you say anything I told him if he did use the magazine for that he needed to start locking the door."

"Ok wait a minute. Let me get this straight cos I don't want to yell at you if there is no reason. You just told our 13 yr old son its ok to masturbate to playboy as long as he locks the door?" She asked a little hot headed already.

"Dot he is at that age whether we like it or not and the same goes for Stephanie. I don't want her growing up either but it's happening."

"So I can tell Stephanie its ok to masturbate thinking about Chris touching her and fingering her as long as she locks the door?"

"Better than actually being with him right? I mean you did it when you were that age didn't you?"

"What thought about boys?"

"Well yeah."

Dot looked at him and pondered, "or do you mean something else?"

"What'd ya mean?"

"Are you asking if I just thought about boys or are you asking me if I looked at playgirl?"

"Boys....I'm pretty sure your mom didn't have playgirl lying around."

"Yeah I thought about them, what does that have to do with the conversation though?" She asked.

"I'm just saying it's a natural thing for young girls and boys to do."

"Jon looking is fine but telling him to masturbate whenever he wants to is another."

"How is that different? Would you rather the kid be embarrassed by being a walking hard on?"

"That's touching himself. He just needs to control it and make it not happen in public." Dot moved to sit in one of the comfortable recliners they have in a cove of their room.

"It's not that easy with boys baby."

"Why not? Girls have to learn how to have appropriate responses. Boys need to too."

"I know and girls can hide their excitement boys can't. Hell when I was a kid I would get hard for no reason but it's just that your body is going through changes. I could be sitting around doing homework and it would happen."

"And what did you do?" She asked.

"Made it go away." he smiled as he walked into the closet grabbing a pair of jeans.

"How?"

"I don't think I need to explain to you how."

"I'd really like you to explain." She smiled to him.

"I took my hand, moved it over my dick and came." he laughed.

"And what?" Dot smiled and ran her hand on his chest.

"Then I closed my eyes, thought of you and that damn hard on came back."

"Jon!" She laughed and kissed him. "Have I told you in the last 5 min that I love you?"

"No I don't think so." he smiled kissing her back.

"So where are you taking me Johnny?" Dot asked referencing their impending date.

"I can't tell you."

"But why?"

"Then it wouldn't be a surprise would it?" He walked back over to the closet and pulled out a light blue long sleeved short and a black short sleeve. "Which one is gonna look better?"

"Depends what we're doing and are we gonna be outside?" Dot smiled trying to get some information out of him.

"Part of the time we will be."

"Then the long sleeve." She told him walking over to her dresser finding her gold hoop earrings.

"I will be nice and tell you to pack an overnight bag." Without saying anything else he grabbed the clothes and went into the bathroom to get a shower before they left.

Pack and overnight bag? Where is he taking me? Dot listened to him and gathered some clothes for the evening and tomorrow and quickly put her toiletries needed into a bag with them. Having showered a bit before Jon she continued getting ready.

After about 20 minutes Jon emerged from the bathroom wearing a pair of Diesel jeans that were a snug fit along with the blue button up shirt which he had the sleeves rolled up to his mid arm.

"Please tell me we're going someplace dark and private." She openly admired him.

"We will be later this evening." he smiled. Once he got a few of his clothes ready he grabbed another small bag from the closet to put everything in. "Did you bring something to sleep in?"

"Do I need to? Normally we sleep naked."

"No I was just making sure you didn't waste any space with it."

She laughed and kissed him. "Still no hints?"

"Well we will be doing something that we've never done." His smile grew large while filling the bag with his necessities. "Oh bring your camera too."

"Alright Mr. but this better be good." She smirked and grabbed her camera. "Do I need a jacket?"

"Yeah it may get a little cool tonight while we're out." He loved knowing that this was driving her crazy, it wasn't often he was able to surprise her.

"Are we going into the city?"

"Maaaaybe."

"Are you driving or are we taking a limo?"

"I think its a pretty nice day for a drive. What about you?"

"So you're driving?" She clarifies.

"I even thought about taking the Chevelle but I don't' know if I want to leave it in a parking garage."

"So we are going to the city." She smirked figuring out at least one thing. "Lets take a limo so I can suck your cock while we drive there." She told him softly.

"Damn it." he laughed. "I really need to work on that thinking before I speak thing."

"Thats all you have to say after what I just said?" She asked shocked but turned to go grab one more thing from her closet.

"You didn't give me a chance to finish. What I was going to say that I can get someone to take us."

"Nice cover, looks like I will be needing something to sleep in." She smirked putting one more item of clothing in her bag.

"No! Clothing bad!"

"Sorry sweetie you're the one that caused that one." She smirked again.

"Please tell me that was that sexy piece of clothing you had on the other night."

"No its my flannel nightgown."

"Your what?!"

"Flannel nightgown, its really sexy, floor length and it has flowers on it."

"You are freakin' kidding me right?" Jon went over to the bag that she had and looked in it.

"No I'm not kidding." She laughed and grabbed the bag from him, "Come on lets go."

"In a hurry?" he smirked. "Let me call a driver in baby unless you want to take your new car."

"no I had plans for your dick while we were getting to the city so i can't drive." She smirked.d

"I didn't say you would be driving." he replied jokingly as he picked up his cell phone and dialed up the same driver that took their daughter out on her date.

Within a few seconds Jon snapped his phone shut. "Okay he'll be here in about 20."

"Boy what am I doing to do for 20 minutes?" She smiled.

"Tell the kids goodbye?" he smiled back. "Come on we get to be with each other all night."

"Sounds like a great night." She smiled and walked down to find the kids, "You get to get Jesse." She smiled.

"Thanks babe." he laughed then grabbed both of the bags but before leaving he grabbed the ring he had bought her a couple of weeks prior. "I hope she likes this." he said softly walking down the hallway to Jesse's room where he knocked before entering.

"Yeah” Jesse hollared from inside his room.

"Come downstairs and say goodbye to your mom because we're leaving in a few mintues." Jon told him still standing outside the door.

"Ok." Jesse said and Jon heard shuffling around in the room.
He walked away not saying anything else. When he got downstairs, his wife and two sons were sitting on the couch cuddle up with their mom. "And what are you two little rugrats doin'?

"We kissing on mommy" Jake told his dad.

"You are?" Jon sat down the bags and went over to the couch and sat down. "Don't you think daddy should be the one doing that?"

"No we cuter." Jake told him and Romeo kissed his mommy's cheek.

"Cuter than me?" Jon laughed.

"Yep, we half mommy so we cuter."

"So you took mommy from me?" He covered his face with both hands pretending to cry to see what the boys did.

"Yep but we share her" Jake offered.

"Jon don't cry honey they'll share me." Dot echoed.

“Yea daddy we share." Romeo giggled moving closer to his mom and wrapping his arm across her stomach.
He looked over at his family and smiled. "I guess as long as you guys share I can deal."

"But you boys are much cuter, and I get kisses whenever I want with you, can you teach daddy that?" Dot smiled.

"Are trying to tell me something Dot?"

"She want more kisses daddy - geesh." Jake told him.

“You think?" Jon laughed.

Romeo tilted he head to the side and looked at his dad. "Yeah daddy why you no kiss her?"

"I thought I did." He replied a little confused looking at his wife but tonight he would make up for all the kisses that she wanted.\

"Not nuff. Mommy needs a day." Jake tells him while crawling over to sit on Jon's lap.

"Really?" he asked surprised. "That many?"

"At least." Jake counters seriously.

Before Jon could say anything Jesse came into the room and sat down in th chair across from the couch. "So how long are you guys gonna be gone?"

"I don't know your dad is keeping everything secret." Dot smiled.

"We should be back tomorrow......maybe."

"Maybe?" Dot asked.

"More than likely." Jon shot her a sneaky grin.

"Dad why do you try to hide everything from her for?" Jesse questioned leaning back into the chair.

"Because in today’s world there a very little surprises and I like to do that occasionally."

"I like it when he does this." Dot smiled at Jon as they heard the gate buzzer.

"Good enough reason I guess." Jesse got up and walked over toward his mom to her then gave her a kiss on the cheek. "I'm sorry for what you saw earlier mom." he whispered making sure that she was the only one that heard it

"Thanks Jess, growing up is confusing I know sweetie."

"You have no idea mom." he smiled stepping back to let her stand up.
Jon moved off the couch and kissed both the boys on the cheek as he hugged them. "You guys be good for the nanny okay."

"Ok when Stephie home?" Jake asked.

"She should be home in a few more hours little man." Jon told him just as he turned to give Jesse a hug.

"See ya dad, see ya mom." Jesse smiled then turned to walk out of the room.
Before he left he turned back with one his dad's famous smirks. "By the way don't come back with another baby."

"Hey we're done making little creatures like you." Dot told him.

"Whatever." Jesse laughed then ran out of the room.

"You ready honey?" Jon asked picking up the bags just as the nanny walked in.

The kids, minus Stephanie walked Jon and Dot out to the car. Before leaving the two younger ones demanded another hug and kiss from their parents which they happily obliged. The ride there with just the two of them in the back gave them a little time talk and Dot tried her best to try to get Jon to spill about where he was taking her but he stood his ground. Almost two hours later thanks to the lovely traffic in NY they arrived at the apartment. The driver walked around helping Dot out then Jon soon followed with his hair still a little messy from their quick make out session.
Once they got upstairs Dot smiled at Jon. "You have some great hair baby." She smirked.

"It's all compliments of my wife who jumped me." he laughed.

"she's got good taste." Dot smiled.

After they got up to the bedroom he put their bags on the bed then laid down for just a minute. "Do you need to do anything before we leave?"

"None unless that's your way to telling me I need to clean up or change or something?"

"You do smell a little." Jon teased crinkling up his nose.

"You shithead." She threw a pillow at Jon.

"What?" He rolled out of the bed and moved toward her. "I still love ya."

"Brat." She smiled at him.

"You look fine baby, I know how you girls are when you get ready to go out though that's why asked. But if you're ready let's go on down and catch a cab."

"A cab?" She asked softly a bit confused.

“Yeeaah. The yellow car that takes places." he joked.

"Shithead." She smacked his ass again.

"It's not nice to call your loving husband names!" As usual he smiled softly and took her hand into his as they walked down to the front of the building.

"If my loving husband wasnt acting like a shithead I wouldn't need to call him that."

"Pardon me? I'm a sweet guy and don't know what you're talking about."

"Um I wasn't born yesterday"

"Really?" he smiled softly. "You look so young."

They walked up the street until they started seeing alot of traffic then waited on a cab. "So any particular place you would like to eat?"

"A hole in the wall so I can molest you between courses." She smiled.

"I think I know the perfect place for that."There was no way he wasn't going to make it until they got back to apartment to be with her if she kept up that little attiutude. And she knew exactly what she was doing to him which made it a bigger turn on
for him.

Dot took his hand and followed him into the cab. She couldn't get over the fact that he had actually asked her out and was surprising her all the time.

After helping her into the car he slid into the backseat beside her then told the driver where to take them to. While they sat in the back, Jon admired the way the jeans hugged her legs that were crossed. Damn it I hate pants! Hoping she wouldn't mind he moved his hand over to her knee and over her inner thigh.

"Thanks for the date baby." She smiled also moving her hand to his thigh.

"You deserve this for putting up with me." While the driver was preoccupied with driving, Jon leaned over and kissed her soundly on the lips.

"I love you baby." She smiled kissing him back. Her hand squeezed his leg softly.

"I want this night to be perfect for us." he told her just as they pulled up to Baldoria a somewhat intimate restaurant.

"I'm loving it so far." She smiled.

"Glad you are baby." He paid the cab driver then opened up the door to help his wife out. Their fingers interlaced almost immediately as they walked up to the door and Jon opened it allowing her to go in first. They had to stand there for a couple of minutes waiting on a server and Jon prayed that nobody recognized him in the meantime.

Dot enjoyed an afternoon of just hanging out with her husband. When the server assisted them at finding at table and supplying them with menus. Not making any indication that he knew who they were.

Before the waiter stepped away, Jon ordered a bottle of her favorite wine - not his. "So what are you gonna get?"

"You ordered my favorite wine?" She asked shocked.

He shrugged his shoulders while looking over the menu. "We always order mine I just thought we would do something different."

"You going for the good husband award?" She smiled

He raised his head up over the menu with a small grin. "How am I doin'?"

"Very good. The Costoletta di Agnello con Pure' Di Patate sounds awesome but you get to help me finish it."

"That does sound pretty good." he replied looking to see exactly what it was. "What makes you think you can't finish it?"

"Sounds like a lot of food, the double cut lamb chops I bet are going to be pretty thick."

"Could be. I think I'll get the Gamberi in Umido...then I'll help you eat the rest of yours." he joked.

"Oh that sounds good, think I can can have a little taste?" She said with a grin that let Jon know she was continuing down her sassy road.

"Sure." he grinned devilishly. He leaned over the table and whispered seductively. "Only if you let me taste you later."

"That sounds like a plan to me.' She smiled and moved her body a little bit closer to him in the booth. She then moved and licked his earlobe before whispering. "I want your dick down my throat."

A low groan escaped his lips before kissing her. "I just might take you up on that."

"I hope you do." She let her hand rest on his inner thigh.

With her hand in the position that it was he was able to slide down just enough to allow her to feel him. "I will."

"baby you didn't have to move you could just move my hand you know." She smiled.

"I know but its getting uncomfortable sitting straight up." he laughed softly.

"Ok should I behave?" She smiled right before the waiter came up and asked them for their orders.

Jon gave him both their orders then poured the wine for both of them as the waiter walked away. "You're fine honey, I just need to learn to control myself." he smiled.

"I think at this point in our lives that may be impossible." She smirked.

"You think?"

"I like being able to turn you on with just words." She smiled not moving her hand from his dick, knowing at some point today her hand is going to be inside his jeans.

"Truthfully you don't even have to talk."

"But I never see your hard on unless I'm being sassy like I have been today."

"Believe me baby you can just walk into a room and I get one."

"I love that." She smiled innocently taking her hand from him to take her wine glass. After taking a sip she put her hand back in her own lap to see what he would do.

He sat there just long enough to take a couple sips of wine then reached for her hand and placed it back on his thigh but this time he held his over hers.

"Oh you need something?" She smiled.

"I just like having you close."

"How close?" She asked with a smile.

"This close." His body moved as close to her as possible and placed his mouth over hers, his tongue begging for entrance into her warmth.

She welcomed his tongue as her hand flew into his hair deepening the kiss before a flash went off around them.

"What the fuck!" Jon pulled away quickly.

A photographer hurried towards the door before Jon could stop him.

Dot didn't care if someone got a picture of her kissing Jon, she wanted his mouth. "Come here." She put her hand on the side of his face again moving his mouth back to her lips.

"I'm sorry baby." he told her pulling away just long enough to get those few words out then continued the kiss."

"Mine." She moaned softly into his mouth.

They continued kissing for a couple of minutes before someone cleared their throat letting them know there food was there.

Dot looked at the waiter. "You made me stop kissing him. You really are in trouble you know?" She smiled huge hoping the waiter would catch the joking.

"Yes ma'am but this is delicious food and it's not to good once it's cold." The waiter laughed when he put the two plates down onto the table. "You two enjoy and if there is anything you all need just let me know."

"Thanks Paul." Dot smiled letting him know she did remember his name and was not truly mad at him.

He smiled then walked back over to wait on more customers allowing Jon and Dot more alone time.

"Ok he gets a great tip for not being apprehensive around us."

"At least he is." Jon told her still a little pissed that a photographer came into their and took their picture. It wasn't a big deal because it was his wife but at the same time it was their alone time.

"Hey I don't mind my picture in the paper of kissing you, proves to all women out there you're mine."

"I know - but dammit this is our time." There weren't many times they could go out and just be Dorothea and John from New Jersey so when some photographer took it upon himself to take photos of him in a restaurant with his wife it really got to him.

Dot put her hand on his thigh and squeezed within about 2 inches below his cock. "Jon, just relax, they didn't try to interrupt is its just going to be a - seen out in town - pic. Just be with me ok."

He nodded grabbing the fork then twisted noodles that were cover in white wine sauce then took a small bite.

Dot moved her hand up to the table and cut into her dinner as well. "Oh man this is heavenly." She said after swallowing.

"Can I have a taste?"

"Sure baby." She motioned to her plate, "or do you want me to feed you?"

"The latter if you don't mind." he smiled. They never really got a chance to do that while they were out which is something he had missed.

She cut up some lamb and got some of the veggies and potatoes on her fork. She leaned over and fed Jon from her fork with a smile. She knew how he loved small moment of intimacy and this was one he'd remember for a while.

The smile grew as he accepted the food from her and continued while he looked at her. "You wanna try some of mine?"

"Absolutely." She smiled.

He got a small piece of shrimp on his for fork then twirled the noodles around it while rolling it around in the wine sauce and butter. He raised his fork up to her mouth watching every second.

She took the food as seductively as she could. "Oh baby." She moaned chewing the delicious food.

"I think I've found my new favorite." He moved the fork back to his plate then took another piece of the shrimp, smiling as he took a bite.

"Oh this is amazing food."

"I don't think its the food as much as the company."

"Definitely. I love having some alone time with you baby."

He leaned over and kissed her on the cheek with his lips a little greasy from the butter. "Me to."

"you got butter on me didn't you?" She smiled.

He looked over toward her and laughed softly. "Sorry."

"Fix it please." She smiled putting more food in her mouth.

"Fix it? You want your lips to match?"

She swallowed her food again. "Yes please." She laughed.

"I can do that." he playfully kissed her then pulled her plate over towards him.

"What are you doing?" She asked.

"What?" he asked innocently taking his fork and getting a couple of the vegetables.

"You are stealing my dinner." Dot smiled. Just then the waiter comes up. "Now didn't you two order the other dinners?" He smiled seeing that Jon had Dots plate in front of him and she had stolen his.

"She took mine so I grabbed her plate." Jon said seriously.

"Don't you know the rules, you never blame the lady?" Paul laughed.

"I really like him." Dot smiled.

"In this case it was the lady's fault."

Shaking his head again he laughed, "Never blame the lady. Can I get you two anything else?" Paul asked.

"I'm good. You want dessert baby?"

"I can't have that." She smiled knowing that Jon understood her.

"I think were good Paul." Jon smiled knowing what she meant. "If you could just bring us the check that would be great."

"Not a problem." Paul walked away while Dot stole more of her dinner from the plate in front of Jon.

"Now why are are you stealing my dinner?" Jon teased taking the fork away and feeding her.

After getting fed a few more bites Dot begged off. "Oh man I'm full."

"Wait until tonight when we're in bed then tell me how full you are." he smirked.

"Are you seriously going to fill me?" She whispered.

"As much as I possibly can babe."

Her eyes lit up. "Really?"

"Why does that surprise you?"

"Its been a while since you've pushed the limits win that category."

"Tonight is gonna be that night." he told her softly while moving his hand over her thighs.

"Do you remember when we made Steph?"

"Yes?" She smiled but with a question not knowing what things he's recalling.

"Double that night and that's what you will get from me later."

"Oh I hope so I'm just in that kind of mood."

"Good to hear." he grinned. He started looking down at his watch every few minutes while they waited on the check.

Paul walked back up to the table just a moment later, "here you are folks I can take this when you're ready and its been a pleasure serving you this evening."

"Thank you sir." Jon reached into his wallet for his credit card then wrote on the slip for a tip $500.

Paul thanked them both for coming and told them good night.

"I hope you tipped him well he was fun." Dot said as they walked out of the restaurant.

"$500 enough?"

"Yes thank you." She turned and kissed him. She then ran her hand down his arm and let her fingers touch his waiting for him to take her hand.

Instinctively his fingers curled around hers as they walked down the sidewalk. "You up for a little excitement?"

"Absolutely Johnny, what are we up to."

"Just going to times square."

"Oh I'm so ready for it." Dot held onto his fingers and bounced a little bit.

It had been a while since he had seen her this happy and that put a smile on his face. He looked up at the signs as they got closer to times square because he wasn't exactly sure where they were supposed to be.

"Johnny can we go in the M&M store." She pointed to an screen with an M&M on top of the Empire State Building.

He glanced down at his watch and saw that they had about 45 minutes to go. "Yeah as long as we are done before 5:45"

"Ok why? What are we doing then?" She smiled.

"You'll see."

"Brat." She smiled pulling him into the M*M store.

"So would you like to get some M & M's while we're here?" he laughed.

"Well yeah" She smirked. "I want pink ones and purple ones.

"Why?"

"cos you can't get those in a normal store."

"No you certainly can't" His eyes lit up when they went up and saw the rainbow of m&ms on the wall.

"Well hell I didn't know they had this many colors!" he was excited as a little boy when he saw them.

"Isn't it awesome. Should we get some of every color?"

"The kids would definitely like it."

"What about us?"

"We would to." he smiled grabbing a bag. "Let's get some for us and the kids and if for some reason we finish them off tonight we have back up."

"I like your ideas."

He laughed going down the line and getting the different colors. "I thought you would"

"So what are we doing tonight honey?" She asked.

"You will find out shortly - I will tell you that its something we've never done though."

"Didn't you learn anything from Paul, always agree with me."

"I do baby." He continued watching her as she filled up the bags. "This is killing you isn't it?"
