Don't Be Cruel

Chapter 4

Evie looked at Richie and then looked back at Jon." What are we going to do with him?".

"We could take him to your car"

"Good idea, Jonny boy"

Evie picked up Richie's arms and Jon had his legs, carefully they carried him down the stairs down to Evie's car." Do you think that we are allowed to do this"

"No one's here, it closed an hour ago, we're the only ones here"

Richie groaned and grumbled as they lay him down in the backseat of Evie's car. Jon drove as Evie sat on the passenger seat. Jon turned on the radio, The Beatles played softly.

They pulled up to a beige-coloured house with a fountain at the front that has a patio at the front and  a long drive leading up to it. Jon got out first followed by Evie. They opened the back car door and grabbed Richie, dragging him out.

They opened the door and carried him in and sat Rich down on the living room sofa, in front of the TV.

Jon went up to one of Evie's many bathrooms and was having a shower when Richie awoke." Hello sleeping beauty, have a nice sleep" Evie asked. "I did, and why is my mouth so sore?". Evie chuckled "Oh you wouldn't imagine what I did this afternoon". A sly grin appeared on her lips." Oh no you didn't" ."Well I did anyway" Evie stammered.

"You should go back to sleep, you've got to rest"

"Doc has an interview lined up for us tonight "

"Well I have dinner to make for you" she stammered.

"Can't you make it for Jon as well, he might want something"

Evie handed Richie the list Jon wrote down back at the surgery.

"This isn't fair darling"

"OK be in extreme pain then"

"Alright then I'll do it, what's for dinner then?"

"Ice cream"

Evie got up and grabbed the ice-cream tub from the freezer, while Jon came down from having his shower.

" King, poor you having ice cream for dinner"

"Well ice cream isn't that bad"

Evie handed Richie the ice cream and sat down, a sigh escaping her lips. "Well hasn't today been eventful, huh Jonny".

"Yeah" Jon said chuckling

"What's so funny? "Richie asked

"Something that only me and Evie know about" Jon said

"Well now you said that, I have to know about it"

"You see, while you were wondering in Richie World, Jon helped me"

"You mean he stuck his fingers in my mouth" Richie mumbled, his eyes firmly staring at Jon. Jon gulped, so maybe he did but Richie was knocked out.

Richie put his bowl back onto the table in front of him, and lay down on the sofa, it had been a long day. Evie got up and went to the enormous pool she owned. She jumped in with her clothes on and started to swim. Richie being Richie decided that swimming with a beautiful woman was better than sleep so he ran after her. He jumped in and swam as quickly as he could to catch up to her. Evie felt muscly arms wrap around her, she knew who this was. She splashed his face with water. "Catch me Richie" she told Richie before she started to swim to the deep end. Richie soon followed struggling to keep up with her.

Finally Richie managed to get to the other end of the 40m long swimming pool. He caught up to her, eventually.

"How do you do that" he asked

"Practice, lots of practice"

They did some more lengths and then jumped in, Richie learnt to dive; he wasn't very good though. Soon though they had to get out of the swimming pool, Richie had a interview with the band. Evie gracefully got out the pool, however Richie was like a beached whale. "Take my hand Rich" Evie offered

"Thanks"

Eventually with Evie's help he heaved himself out. Richie picked Evie up playfully and nuzzled her neck. " Lets go take a shower"
