The Bride cont…

Pt 22

The wedding

Everyone got there in time and even Tiffany’s dad and all of her friends from Ohio made it. Kris’s family and even some of her high school teachers were there. "Thank god Donnie and Jordan have private jets" she thought to herself. When she saw Kelly she told Kristin to go great her and bring her in.

"Kelly?" Kristin approached her.

"Yes" Kelly replied.

"Tiffany wants to see you, I’m her friend Kristin." Kris brought her into the room where Tiffany was getting dressed.

"Oh, I am so glad you could come" Tiffany gave the shy girl a hug. "Thank you so much for helping me," Tiffany had a tear run down her face. "One of my bridesmaids couldn’t make it so would you please stand up with me in her place?"

Kelly was shocked. "Uh, are you sure?" she asked.

"Oh, most definitely," Tiffany smiled "I owe you my life." She handed Kelly a dress that she knew would fit perfectly. "Thank you so much. All you have to do is follow Maria down the isle, then walk back up with Jon. I really appreciate this.

Jesse, Tiffany’s dad, poked his head in the door. At 36, he was very handsome, most people mistook him for tiffany’s husband. "How is my little brat?" he asked. Kelly wondered how in the world this man was her father. "You getting married before me?"

He gave her a hug "that’s what I get for having a kid at 14" he kissed her on the check. "Oh well, at least my son in law is in the same generation as Me." he joked. "Are you ready honey?"

They started the wedding and it went as smooth as silk. Between the reception and the wedding Donnie stopped outside to talk to the media a bit to get them out of the way and let one camera in. They danced and laughed. Kelly got along very well with Jon and he got her number. Jordan and Kristin stayed as far away from each other as possible because Bryan was there and they didn’t want anyone to notice how they were beginning to feel about each other. After they had cute the cake, Donnie knew better than to smash it in her face, they got in the getaway limo and headed to the airport. He was taking her to Spain, where she had always wanted to go. Well ever since her friends got to go with the Spanish class, but she couldn’t because she flunked it.

Jordan got in his car and could see Bryan and Kristin arguing again and thought back to

that kiss. He had to get her somehow.

Pt 23

Jordan pulled into his driveway about 4 am. He noticed something dark on his doorstep. He walked up to it and it was Kristin asleep curled up in a ball. "Hey, hey, what’s wrong?" he asked.

She looked up at him. She looked like a little puppy that had just been beaten. She started to cry. He helped her up and took her into his house. When the light hit her face he could see the bruises. One eye was swollen and black and blue. She had another bruise on her cheek and a small cut above her other eye. Jordan put his jacket back on. "Let’s go we are going to the police."

She shook her head no. "Jordan I don’t want to, I started it and I slapped him first." he could tell she was trying to justify it the best she could.

"No you didn’t do anything to deserve this, I am taking you to the hospital, and we will talk to the police about this." He pulled Kris off of the couch and took her to the ER.

The doctors checked her out and said that she would be fine. She talked to the police and they advised her to get an emergency restraining order and press charges. They also said that she should stay with someone that she can trust until everything had settled down. When they left the hospital Jordan told her she could stay at his place until Donnie and

Tiffany got back and she accepted. When they got back he went over to her house and got some of her stop. As he looked around he saw a lot of broken glass and several pieces of furniture tipped over. "How could someone do this to a woman?" he asked himself. He got what she needed and when he got home she was sound asleep in his bed. He put her stuff in the chair and went to sleep in the guestroom.

Pt 24

When Jordan got up that morning he went downstairs where Kristin was making omelets. "Wow these smell good" he picked at the cheese and she smacked his hand away. The feeling of waking up to her was way too comfortable. "How’ya feeling this morning?" he asked.

She sighed. "I feel better knowing that it is all over." she looked a little depressed. "I really wished things could have worked between Bryan and I." She leaned against the counter. "Hell, I see you more than I see my own husband." She smiled. "Thank you for making me go to the hospital and tell the police." She sighed again and gave him a hug. "I have always complained about women that go back to husbands like that." He was rubbing her back and she put her head on his chest. "I never knew he had it in him."

Jordan sighed too. "Most women don’t until it’s to late." He pulled away from her enough to look her in the eyes. "I would never do that to anyone."

"Jordan, I haven’t seen Evy around, what happened?" Kris looked at him and as she said that his face fell.

He looked away "it’s my fault I did something really bad." he said. She just looked at him and he continued. "One day I was really upset and I went to her house and we had sex." he paused. "I said someone’s name during climax and it wasn’t hers" Kristin looked shocked. "Then when I was trying to apologize I was saying ‘I love you ‘ and I said that other girls name other than Evy’s."

Kris looked in his eyes knowingly "whose name was it?" she asked.

Jordan looked away again. He bent down to kiss her and the gate buzzed. "Yours." he said going to answer the buzzer. He looked at the monitor and it was Bryan. He didn’t wait for a reaction from Kris. He went outside to meet Bryan. "What the fuck do you want?" he said angrily.

"I want to see my wife." demanded Bryan.

"I don’t think so, she has a restraining order." snapped Jordan.

"I know you have a thing for her. You had better leave you southie paws off of her." Bryan said in a threatening voice. He walked away.

"Bastard." Jordan went back into the house and Kristin was on the phone. She was crying and Jordan could tell she was talking to her father. He walked up behind her and put his arms around her. She turned around and hung up the phone and began kissing him.

Pt 25

When Kristin began kissing him he felt a rush, and it wasn’t to his head, well not the one attached to his neck anyway. He instinctively wrapped his arms around her waist and she wrapped her legs around his waist. He propped her up onto the kitchen counter. The continued kissing. He made his way down to her neck and began biting her buttons off of her blouse while the unzipped her jeans. She was nibbling his ear lobe and playing with his hair. When he got to her breasts he noticed she wasn’t wearing a bra and smiled, "hmm less work for me" he mumbled as he began to suck on her hardening nipples. "When was the last time Bryan made you this wet?" he said as he touched her pussy.

"Never" she moaned into his neck. She took off his tee shirt and began to kiss his chest. She untied his sweatpants and pushed them down, he was going commando and she began to rub his inner thighs. She kept getting closer to his manhood and then would move away from it teasingly.

"Are you sure about this?" he asked her looking deep into her eyes. She began to kiss him deeper and more passionately than she had ever kissed any other man. He began to move down and she pulled him back up "lets not waste our time with any more foreplay." she said seductively. He entered her and she had the best sex she had ever had in her life.

When it was over they stood there and looked at each other, each deep in thought. "I loved you the very moment I saw you." Jordan said in all sincerity.

"I loved you too, but I was too stupid to listen to my heart and instead listened to my head and surroundings." She hugged him and held him. "I have already filed for a divorce." She looked over Jordan’s shoulder and saw movement in the bushes. "Jordan, someone is in your backyard." she whispered.

"Are you sure it’s not Shane? Sometimes he plays in the bushes." Jordan asked, praying that no one had seen them.

"No honey Shane is right behind you." Kris began to get scared. "What if the tabloids found out about this," she thought to herself. "They haven’t had this kind of dirt on the guys since the fire thing with Donnie" she just pulled Jordan’s shirt on quietly while he went outside.

He came in smiling "Kris, it was just your imagination. There was a big rabbit back there. That’s all." He kissed her and took her upstairs.

"No Jordan, I know I saw something bigger than that." Kris was sure of it, she saw something, and she was damn sure that something was human.

Pt 26

A week later

Marlene and Alma and Kay were on their annual shopping trip to New York. They always took a limo and their sons credit cards and had a fun filled week of shopping, good food and shows. This year wasn’t as fun without Betty and in her honor they decided to give gift certificates to Macys to all the women in the local cancer clinic. As they were walking by a newsstand Kay stopped dead in her tracks. She tugged on Alma’s arm and gestured to keep Marlene away. It had always been harder on Marlene to see the boys in the tabloids than it had the rest of the moms. Kay went over and picked up the tabloid with Jordan’s face on it. She opened it and began to read.

"Jordan’s affair with a prominent Boston elite." she said quietly as she read on. "Jordan Knight, former member of New Kids on the block" it started, Kay skipped all the mumbo jumbo and got to the juice of the story "seen here with the wife of Bryan Johnson, a wealthy prominent member of the national cancer research team, just minutes after a hot and steamy moment alone." Inside was a picture taken just seconds after they had finished making love, you could see both of their faces, Jordan’s behind and part of Kristin’s breast. "Jordan and Mrs. Johnson meet at a her bacholorette party months ago and had been seen together at numerous other occasions, including the Parker-Johnson wedding and the Smith-Wahlberg wedding. They had also been seen together at parks, restaurants, and convince stores (one of which Mr. knight was buying a box of condoms)." There were pictures to prove almost all of the statements. "Our sources tell us that Mr. Knight has been pleading with Mrs. Johnson for a divorce so that they could finally be together publicly." Kay frowned, she had a feeling that at least part of it was true, "so this is what Joe and Donnie have been whispering about," she said to herself.

"Marlene went to the restroom in Wendy’s. What’s going on." Alma asked. Kay explained to her what the article said. "Hmmm" pondered Alma "I think I overheard Donnie and Tiffany talking about those two." Alma sighed "I think this one might actually be true, I’ll call Donnie and warn him."

Kristin burst into tears when she got into the line at the store. She saw the cover and didn’t even have to look inside. Jordan told her how it affected his mom to see stuff like this, she was never able to get use to it. All Kristin could think about was what her father and brothers would think. Her cell phone rang "hello."

"Umm Kris, I think we have a problem. Alma just called me." Tiff said as calmly as she could.

"I know tiff I just saw it." Kristin pulled her sunglasses down when she started to get stares.

About the same time in Ohio. "WHAT THE FUCK!" yelled the temperamental David Parker in the middle of the small village store. "Mike, take those off your shelves now please." demanded the big Italian.

"Why, what’s wrong?" asked the owner of the store. He had known David since birth. He looked at the copy of the tabloid that Dave was holding up. "Oh my god, Dave if I would’ve realized that was Kris I never would’ve put them out"

Dave dialed Kristin’s cell phone, he couldn’t believe his little sister would stoop this low. Of course there was probably a good explanation for it all. It was busy and he hung up. About that time Pauly, Kristin’s father, saw what Dave was holding.

"Call Kris and tell her to come home and bring Jordan with her, they need to be somewhere where no one will find them." ordered Pauly.

Pt 27

Kristin came into Jordan’s house in tears. Tiffany, Donnie and Jordan were sitting in the living room with four suitcases. "Why are their suitcases in here?" Kris asked.

"Your dad called me and wants you and Jordan to go to Ohio, to stay out of this mess, and we are going with you guys." Answered Tiffany.

"OK so when are we leaving?" asked Kristin still in a daze.

"Right now honey, the pilot is waiting for us." answered Jordan. "Do you have any idea why your dad would want me to come?"

"Umm probably to see what really happened." answered Tiffany. "Pauly is a very reasonable man, and sometimes I swear he is a mind reader."

They all got in a cab and headed to the airport. They got in a plane and under an hour they were landing at the wood county airport in Williamstown West Virginia, near where the girls grew up. When they got out of the plane Kris ran to Brett who was there to pick them up. She threw her arms around him like he was her father. "It’s not what everyone thinks." she said sobbing.

"I know, and dad knows. I’m not sure about Dante and Dave. You know their tempers." He smiled at tiff and Donnie. He patted Jordan on the back. "We will have a little talk when we get home."

Jordan looked up at him and gave him a nervous smile and nodded his head. They loaded into the Jeep Grand Cherokee and headed up interstate 77 towards Marietta. Brett got off the interstate at exit six and headed out into the sticks. Once they got into a one light town he turned and crossed the river, then pulling onto a dirt road Donnie and Jordan looked at each other. They passed two trailers that had been hooked together to make one. Then they passed a farm with lots of cows and two lamas. A few miles later Brett pulled into Tiffany’s house. Her dad was sitting outside.

It was a small house with a wrap around porch. There was an old rusted 73 VW bug and something Donnie couldn’t recognize further down in the yard. When they got out of the jeep a goat ran up to tiffany and put his front legs on her shoulder and licked her like he was a dog. "Hey boy how’ya doing." his collar said "Donnie" on it. Donnie looked towards the Jeep in time to see Jordan laughing his ass off. About that time he saw a small group of dogs run threw the field and head full speed towards Tiffany. Jesse, tiffs dad took one look at Donnie’s face and lost his mind laughing.

"Just for that look, you can help me feed the hogs." Jesse put his arm around Donnie and continued "I have always wanted to get one of you rich and famous city boys out here and teach you to be a real man."

Pt 28

Jordan sighed a sigh of relief when they pulled into Kris’s driveway. It was a much classier home than tiffany’s and so far no barns in sight. A little boy about four met them outside. "Aunt Kris!" he jumped into her arms and she held on to him for dear life. He wiggled out of her arms and ran up to Jordan and kicked him in the shin. "That’s for getting me in trouble mister!" Jordan looked at Kris confused. " You got me in trouble." He put his tiny hands on his hips like Kristin does when she gets mad. "I was singing Give it to You and I got in trouble. You shouldn’t sing bad stuff Mister!" Jordan looked up and saw Dave scowling down at him. "Daddy says that song is bad and that.." Kris covered Kevin’s mouth and shook her head.

"Sorry about that honey." She looked at Jordan hoping he wasn’t mad.

Jordan just laughed and rubbed Kevin’s head. "I’m sorry if I was a bad influence on you sir." he said to Kevin.

"That’s OK, if Aunt Kris likes you so do I" Kevin took Jordan’s hand "I wanna show you my room," he pulled him upstairs and passed Kris’s room on the way. Kevin’s room was a typical four-year-olds room. Lots of toys and stuff that little boys collect. Jordan couldn’t help but think about Dante at that moment. He missed him and had to see him as soon as he got home.
