The lost son ~John Frusciante and Josh Klinghoffer

24. I would never betray you

On the next day me and Flea drove to Anthony's mansion. Clara invited us for lunch.
She opened the door wearing a lace top and leather skirt. I must admit, she looked hot. But I had to hold myself back.

- Hey, it's good to see you in a better mood, dad. Mom called me. I know about Erik. He was a nice guy but I understand that he had to leave.

- Did she tell you that she gave me another chance? She wants to rebuild our relationship.

- That's great. She's single, you're single. And I'm going to have a sibling. I'm really excited. I'm sorry dad, I shouldn't have reacted this way in the first place.

- I accept the apology. I won't tell you that I accept your choice, but you're all grown up and you have a right to make your own decisions. Where is Anthony?

- He went out to buy some wine, he should be back any minute.

Suddenly we heard someone walking into the patio we were sitting at.

- Anthony...

Flea said, getting up and clenching guys fists. He started to walk towards his old friend.

- Mike, I'm glad you came. I know it...

I looked at Clara and she seemed to be equally as scared as me.
We were sure that he was going to punch Anthony in the face.
Instead, Michael gave him a hug and patted his back.

- You old fucker. I'd have never guessed that you would be the one to fuck my daughter. I wanna kill you, Tony, but you're my brother, I just can't. Make sure she's happy and safe.

Flea said.

- I will never hurt her. You have my word. You're the greatest friend on Earth. I promise she will be happy with me and I'll be treating her like a princess.

- You already are, babe!

She said, giving him a kiss. Tony grabbed her ass and squeezed it.

- Get yourself a room!

I shouted, laughing.

- I'm sorry, hey Josh, my second best friend. How is John doing?

- Oh, probably having morning sex with Emily.

- I see. Em was such a cool girl, she loves to sing and listen to John's music. Probably his best girlfriend.

- What about my mom?

- Don't get me wrong but I didn't really know her. She didn't go on tour with us, he was just a greenie, he dumped her to fuck groupies. But...

- Ok, that was a dumb question. I think about her too much lately. I wanted her to be present at my wedding and to see her grandson...

- But look, if she didn't die, you wouldn't know John is your father.

- Maybe you're right. Let's eat before I get too emotional.

- How did the meeting go?

Lilly asked as soon as I entered the house.

- Flea didn't punch Tony so I guess it went well.

- That's great. Josh, something's wrong between John and Emily. She came here looking like she had been crying.

- Did you ask her what happened?

- Yeah but she didn't want to tell me.

- Where is Emily now? And where is our son?
