Secluded Affair

chapter 32

Jon's POV

Today is the day I must get all the administration done for our surprise wedding; I am so glad I have some helpers on the island. I have already dropped Cori off at Nancy's house, and Nancy has plans to keep her busy all day.

I drop my keys on the table at the door and decide I need a rather large coffee before brave this next phone call. I decided I needed at least one person in my life knowing what s happened; I walked over and picked up the phone, and dialled the number:

"Hello, Sambora residence"

"Hey man, it's Jon. How's life treating you?"

"Jonny, what's up, man? I thought you were supposed to be back from your vacation now? yeah, life's ok".

"God, Rich, I don't even know where to begin; life is so chaotic, and much has happened in the last two weeks."

"Dude, I thought you went down there to get away and chill out; what can be that bad?"

"Pffft, chill out, I wish, that was the plan, but there was a fuck up with the bookings, and it turned out my place was already booked out by someone else, but neither of us knew. So anyway, this chick comes strolling in and stands glaring at me, giving me all kinds of attitude. But, to be honest with you, man, she was fucking hot. So we phoned the leasing agent, and the agent realised she had fucked up by double booking and not looking at the right dates and that the villas on her list were all full, so we decided to share the villa."

"Just how hot are we talking here?"

"Dude, I'm talking; take your breath away, hot. Stop interrupting me, you horny fucker. Right so we took separate rooms and just shared the living areas and outdoor bits, we started spending time together, well we spent almost every minute together. Dude, I fucking fell in love with her. I was a goner from the minute she gave me a sassy attitude and didn't take my shit."

"Holy fuck Kidd, she must have some fucking balls to stand up to you; I need to meet this chick. No fucking way, man, so what the fuck are you going to do?"

"Rich, that isn't even a tiny part of what the fuck has happened down here; I've been through hell, man. This is where I need you to get your ass on a plane down here ASAP, and I need your help. I'll tell you what I will do if you can get down here".

We continued chatting for another hour, and I told him everything that had happened over the last two weeks.

"Jon, what the fuck man? It would have been best if you had called me. I would have been on the first plane. So why the fuck did you get through all of this on your own? And yes, I will get my assistant on getting me the first flight out. I'm glad you're both safe, Jonny".

"Rich, honestly, man, it never crossed my mind; my sole focus was on Cori and hoping she would wake up. I spent every single second by her bedside. I have not even spoken to my family yet; no one knows about her. The only person from our lives that know is you now, please keep it to yourself, after she is cleared to fly again were going to see her family and then fly stateside to everyone here".

"My lips are sealed, Kidd; I can't believe you been through all of that on your own, man. Here I was jealous you were tanning it up on a tropical beach. I will get my life sorted, and I will ring you back with details. And Jon, please look after yourself."

"Trust me, Rich. If I didn't, Cori would have my ass. Ok, talk to you later, man. Thank you, Rich."

"What else am I here for besides laying hot chicks and making you sound good. Later" and with that final statement, he hung up the phone.

"Big-headed fucker", I mumble as I walk back to place the phone back in the receiver.

I gather all the stuff I need to take with me today and head out the door. I get in the car and make me through town to the courthouse; thankfully, Nancy knows the woman in charge of the marriage department and has swung it so I can get the paperwork filed without Cori being there. I leave there and head to the centre to meet up with Lizzie and Jane as they are helping me pick out Cori's dress.
