The lost son ~John Frusciante and Josh Klinghoffer

37. It's better than ever, whenever I'm here

After Christmas we had an interview planned. We were supposed to talk about our future plans.

- I love you, don't be stressed. You'll do great, Josh.

Lilly said and kissed me when I was about to go.

- You know me too well. I love you too. I'll call you when it's over.

I said and walked out. I saw John walking into my direction.

- Hey, how are you doing?

- I'm fine and you? Was Emily mad at you?

I asked.
Two days ago we drank that whole bottle of whiskey and vomited all over the place. Lilly was not pleased is the least to say.

- No, I guess because she didn't have to clean that mess. Please tell Lilly that I said sorry.

- That's fine, she said that the hangover was enough of a punishment.

- Oh yeah, it was. Look, they are coming.

Dad said, pointing at a black truck. We got inside where Anthony, Flea and Chad were already sitting.

- How did you spend the Christmas?

John asked.

- I went with my wife and kids to her parents. There were like 20 other people in this little house. I'm so glad that Christmas is over.

Chad answered.

- And you, Flea, Tony?

I asked.

- Well, you expected us to have broken noses, arms or something? I was lucky to be able to spend this Christmas with my woman, daughter and her man.

Flea said.

- Yeah, it was great.

Anthony added.

I was glad that they still were able to talk to each other.

- So, when are you planning to go into the studio?

The interviewer asked.

Anthony has decided to answer it.

- Not anytime soon. A process of recording is really time-consuming. John and Flea are expecting their children to be born at any moment, Josh and Chad have small kids. We need to make a break. It doesn't mean that we won't play or write songs. There will just be no album out soon.

- That will be surely a sad information for the fans. And what about you, Anthony? Did you think about starting a family?

- Actually I did. And I came to the conclusion that it's not for me. Nor me or my partner are ready.

- You mean Flea's daughter, Clara, right? How did you guys start your relationship? I imagine that dating your best friend's daughter caused some clashes between you two.

- Fortunately this amazing man, my brother, Flea can forgive me everything. I love you, Flea.

Anthony answered, wrapping his arms around Mike and kissing his cheek.

- I love you too, Anthony.

He responded and kissed him back.

- So there's no tension between you two?

- No, there isn't.

- Thank you. Josh, I'd like to ask you a few questions.

I nodded with that insecurity building inside of me.
