Cowboy Diaries - a Jon Bon Jovi fan fiction

9: Father Time

29. June 1991, Jon's house in New Jersey

Jon's POV

It was just an ordinary day. I just came back from running and had done a short workout. I did this every day now, I had to get back in shape. At least that was what my brain told me. I didn't even know what for.

 It wasn't like Dorothea would come back to me just because I had a few muscles more now. She had that guy, and I was nothing in comparison to him. Damn, why was I even thinking about her again?

Maybe that was the reason why I actually started to do sports again. The exhaustion could distract me from my depressive thoughts at least for a moment. And after sport and especially showering, I just felt way better because I had done at least something productive. Because the rest of my days was rather boring and lonely.

But not this day, because the phone rang. I expected it to be Richie or my parents, the only people that talked to me these days. I always enjoyed it, because it distracted me from myself a few minutes and I felt like at least somebody still cared for me. 

But as I held the phone to my ear, I recognized another voice. A voice that I hadn't heard for months.

"Hi Julie, how ya doin'? Nice to hear from you."

That's right, it was Julie Brown, the crazy lady that did an interview in my Young Guns era with me. It's painful looking back at this. We both were so drunk and Dorothea wasn't amused to see it, especially the bedroom scene, even if nothing happened after that. Well at least not this day.

 We met again in January this year, just because we enjoyed each other's company and her positive attitude was another thing that could distract me from my dark thoughts. And well, things got a bit more heated at this occasion:

"How do you like my dress Jonny?" "Well, I prefered the other one. You know, the red one that showed off your underwear so nicely." 

"You nasty thing you. Don't you dare looking at this again without me allowing it." My lips tugged up to a mean grin. "Okay, I get it. But it's pretty hot in here don't ya think? What if I help you to change into something lighter?"

"Oh no, I see where this is going... But unfortunately, you're damn right, it is hot in here. Maybe it's just my presence. But taking this thing off won't hurt."

Julie smirked at me and I couldn't help but stare at her as she lifted her arms and put the dress up over her head. My gaze went down to her underwear and again I couldn't help but feel a bit turned on by the sight. 

"Hey cowboy, no staring!". I hadn't noticed Julie was done unclothing. "Only if I got something to stare at too. You mind me taking this off?". She pointed at my tight black tank top. 

"Woah, stop it. We can't do this." I suddenly realized what I was about to do. I was married for god's sake. I swore to myself to never do that mistake again.

"Why not?" Julie asked innocently, " My parents aren't here, your parents aren't here, and as far as I'm concerned your wife doesn't expect you home tonight."

I took another sip of my drink. Damn, these things this woman made me do.

"Jonny, are you still there?" I suddenly was interrupted from my memories. "I got something to tell you. I'm pretty excited, y'know." 

"Alright, go ahead then. Another lover you want to tell me about?" Julie was well known for having a lot of affairs going on and it came to a point where I couldn't keep up with the names anymore.
