The lost son ~John Frusciante and Josh Klinghoffer

16. I'm happy as can be

We'd been touring with John for 4 months straight and it was finally time to head back home. We partied a lot as always and had a great time every day. We've visited the most awesome places in the world and took a lot of pictures. I loved sightseeing and traveling. It was the part of my job that I was really happy about.

John has decided to move out of my apartment and buy himself a new house. I agreed to sell my flat and buy a new home right next to him. We would be able to see each other every day and that's what we wanted.
I took Lilly with me on tour and she's been nothing but supportive. I felt like she's the feminine version of me.

- I've never been happier. I have you, Lilly, we play together every night, life can't get any better.

I told John. I was sitting next to him on the plane. Lilly was sleeping right beside us.

- I can tell, Josh. Have you thought about proposing to her?

- Yeah, I did. I've already bought a ring.

- Then what are you waiting for?

- I'm not sure if that's what she wants. I can see that she started to like our music and she's been my reason to smile everyday but we've never talked about getting married...

- She's head over heels for you! Look, you've bought your own house, you're both adults, you love each other. Do you want her to be your wife?

- Of course I do. She's the one I want to spend the rest of my life with.

- Josh, this house is so amazing!

Lilly exclaimed, hugging me.

- I'm glad that you like it. Wanna see John's house?

- Well, there's one thing I wanna do first...

- What is it, baby?

- We need to check our new bed...

- Oh, of course! We need to make sure it's comfortable and big enough.

I've wiped sweat from my forehead and got up from our huge bed. I looked around the bedroom once again. It was huge. The walls were painted a lavender color and the furniture was white. The marble floor was covered with a fluffy carpet.

I went into the bathroom where Lilly was laying in the bath. I easily fit in there too. I've always wanted to have a huge bathtub.

- I love you.

I said, kissing her neck.

- I love you too. It's such a shame that John has invited us for the dinner, I would like to stay in the bed all day. I'm so exhausted. Unpacking took forever.

- But you only put our clothes in the closet baby.

- I'm feeling so tired. I could sleep all day. I think it's because of the touring and time changes. How do you manage to survive all of these concerts?

- Playing is what I love, it doesn't make me tired. I'm so happy everytime I get on stage. And when I get inside you, of course.

- Oh Joshy, you're such a perv.

- Hey, who took my clothes off and rode me like there's no tomorrow?

- Thank you for the dinner. Your lasagne is the best. How about coming to us for the dinner on Friday? We're gonna prepare something as good.
