Chapter 47
“You are NOT funny,” pouted Jesse as she tried to pull away from Richie.
Richie had joined Sister Mary and Jesse to watch Jon on the monitors and had told them that back in their early days, Friday night video shoots like this one had been an excuse for blow-your-mind bacchanalia. Jesse had known that but what got her was when he said he missed those days.
“But Richie, look how far you’ve come. Now you are hanging out with nuns and you’re in a stable, monogamous relationship,” pointed out Sister Mary.
“True! True!” laughed Richie. Nuzzling Jesse’s neck and pulling her tight, he whispered, “I’m perfectly happy spending my Friday night with you in my arms and playing music.”
“Uh uh! You said it! You MISS those days! You can’t have it both ways!” sassed Jesse.
“Okay! Let’s go to my dressing room and have some blow-MY-mind sex!”
Jesse giggled, “That’s better! Can we?”
“As soon as we’re done – I think we’ll have some time.”
Jesse turned her head to give Richie a kiss. “I love you! Tonight has been so amazing!”
“Which part was your favorite?”
“Mmmm, hard to pick one thing.”
“Really? I’d have thought the roses and ring would have been your favorite.”
“For my personal life, yes – but the rest of it, as a fan, is amazing too. I never knew what filming a video involved.”
“The next one won’t be like this. Do you like the ring?”
“I love it, Richie,” she sighed as she held her hand up to view it.
Richie reached out to take her hand in his. “The main diamond is 2 carats and the smaller ones equal a half carat. How about earrings to go with it?”
“You’re going to spoil me.”
“That’s my plan. Your wedding gift from me – a pair of diamond earrings to match your ring.”
“Richie, I’ve been thinking about the wedding.”
“What about it?”
“Well, I only have Stevie for family and my friends really can’t afford to fly to London….”
“I’ll pay for whoever you want to attend.”
“You can’t pay for everyone, Richie, and the wedding.”
“I can and I will.”
“Okay…I only want you to fly Carly and Ashley over. I have an idea for my family though. Can I invite fans?”
“You want to invite fans?”
“Yeah…..think about it….in a way, they ARE my family. I was one of them and I still am. We could limit it- just open it for the Fan club members…and out of the ones who get to attend, pick one to be one of my bridesmaids.”
“How many do you want to invite?”
“I don’t know…a hundred?”
“I’ll have to talk to Jon about it, Jess. He may not approve because of the security issues.”
“Richie, this is OUR
wedding…it….”
“I hear you, baby, and I agree but the other guys will be there and you want to
put it on the fan club site. I don’t think he’ll have a problem with it but I
still should talk to him…and the other guys…about it.”
“When are you going to do that?”
“Later…maybe on the flight to Tampa.” Seeing Jon was finished, he said, “Let me go with him now. We’re going to look at the playback and then decide what else we need to do before we send it to editing. We won’t be much longer.”
“Can I watch?”
“Sure, come on.”
Richie led Jesse over to where Jon was standing with the director. He greeted Jesse with a kiss on the cheek and turned his attention to the monitors pointing something out to Richie.
