A Second Chance at love

Chapter 32: A time to reflect

"How long am I suspended for ?" her dad asked sheepishly

"2 ½ months" Maurice replied--"that is the remainder of this tour"

"Come on Mariah" he said turning to his daughter "I think it is high time your mother and I had a long discussion about how to deal with your behavior--she might not give a shit about you, since she's kinda wild herself, but, I do."

"I will call you before the start of the next tour and we will go from there" Maurice added "and if there are anymore problems from you or Mariah-YOU WILL be terminated!"

He nodded as she grabbed her camera and her bag and they left the room. "I need to meet with the guys for a bit" Maurice said to me.

"Can't we get lunch first?" Donnie whined "I'm definitely needing something from several of the basic food groups"

"Fast food, junk food ,grease and sugar are not the basic food groups D" Danny laughed.

"Who cares?" he replied " they taste good, and I'm hungry -I'm a growing boy" which got a chuckle out of all of us.

"You're right D, let's break for lunch and the 6 of us can meet back here at 1:30pm"

"How bout if I go across the street and get you guys some KFC?" Biscuit asked "That way there aren't any 'restaurant riots' from the fans".

"MMMMM! Fried Chicken with mashed potatos, gravy and biscuits sounds really good" Jordan replied.

"Don't forget the corn on the cob and the chocolate dessert bucket thingys" Joe added.

"We can have lunch in my room" Jordan said as Biscuit got ready to leave. After he left, I volunteered to walk over to the gas station for paper plates, napkins and plastic silverware.

"Good Idea" Danny said "any one of us might get noticed."

We all enjoyed an awesome, delicious lunch and then hung out and talked until they had to go meet with Maurice.

The meeting lasted about an hour and Jon said it was your usual boring as heck meeting.

Before we knew it, the tour was over and I was on my way to the airport to pick Jon and Jordan up- Jordan was staying with us that night and we'd drop him off at home the next morning since their flight was delayed twice. It was going to be so nice to have Jon home for an extended period of time.

Jordan spotted me as they entered the terminal, and elbowed Jon who gave me a huge smile when he saw me. Jordan went down to baggage claim with Biscuit to get their bags.

As soon as they were safely out of site, Jon enveloped me in a big hug and kissed me softly "I missed you like crazy" he whispered. "I missed you too" I told him "so did Emma"

It was late when we got back, but, Jon Jordan and I sat up and talked for awhile- they told me how Maurice was wanting to do a holiday album.

"You haven't heard the best part yet" Jon said "Jordan is going to stay here with Emma for the next 10 days

- so that my beautiful bride and I can finally get away for our long overdue honeymoon."

"Are you serious?" I said "I sure am" he said.

"After the way I nearly loused things up with Maurice a couple months ago, it's the least I could do." Jordan said.

"We leave for Hawaii tomorrow morning" Jon said smiling "We'd better get some sleep as our flight leaves at 7am" he added. "While Jon showered, I quickly packed what I wanted to take-including the lingerie I had originally bought for our wedding night. While I showered Jon packed his things.
