Day to Day Chapter 28

The guests started arriving at 4:30 sharp. Wow Megan thought how different people were here. Back home in Australia life was so much more relaxed, it was customary to arrive whenever one felt like rocking up. And certainly a lot more relaxed in their attire. And a dinner party was rarely any dressier than your best jeans. She made her way to the formal rooms where everything was happening and bumped into a few people she knew from fundraisers. It was nice to see them again. It was also nice to know they were still interested in the Foundation. She would make a note of it when she got back to her room and put them on the list of invites for the next one.

She was standing near the fireplace as it was a cool night and she had left her wrap up stairs. Simply because this dress looked better without one.

“Good evening Miss Johnson. How beautiful you look tonight. What brings a fellow Aussie all the way over here?” She turned to face Russell Crowe

She greeted Russell with a kiss. They spoke for a long time and finally he said "I've been wanting to talk to you about the guitar you won." He said with a smirk. Still not happy that he missed out.

Jon and Dorothea had arrived while she was talking to Russell; he was dressed in black jeans and a sports jacket. He wore a tie and looked absolutely perfect. Dorothea looked very nice in a little black dress. Megan so much wanted to hate her, but she knew she couldn’t. She genuinely was a really nice person. This made it so much harder for Megan to be comfortable with Jon. She saw how he interacted with his children. How well he treated his wife. She knew she could never be involved with splitting up a family.

Leaving Megan alone at the fire she relaxed just watching the guests mingle. It was nice to observe from time to time. People are so different in so many ways. Jon came up to her; placing his arm around her he said, “You look simply stunning tonight Miss Johnson. If I knew you were going to look this good I wouldn’t have worn these pants.”

“Oh? Just a tad uncomfortable are we Jon?" She smiled at him. Enjoying his discomfort. “Now please take your arm from around my waste your wife is here.”

Jon reluctantly after giving her body a little squeeze removed his arm. The night went well. She conversed with many and had an enjoyable time.

Most of the guests had left by around 10:30pm leaving just the stragglers and the band members and their families. After a few more drinks it came down to just the band members and their families. The atmosphere was much more relaxed now. So the ties came off, and Richie kicked his shoes off, sitting on the sofa with Krystal sitting on the floor in front of him.

Feeling like the odd one out as everyone else had their partners there and she was the only single person, Megan started to clear away the mess and take it to the kitchen. Jon got up to lend a hand too. Picking up some empty bottles and following her to the kitchen. He found walking difficult as he watched her body move in the burgundy colored silk gown she was wearing. He loved the way the fabric moved with her. “Yep," He sighed, “I must make a mental note to never wear these pants in your presence again.”

She smiled over her shoulder at him as she continued through the saloon doors that led to the kitchen. He quickly put the bottles down and grabbed her around the waste from behind. As he pulled her to him she could feel his excitement. His breathing quickened along with hers. “Jon” she said ”Stop we can't do this here or now, what if someone comes.”

Laughing at her choice of words he said “I can only hope it’s me.”

“Oh very funny.”

“They won’t even notice we aren’t there.” Turning her around and lifting her up on to the bench she wrapped her legs around his waste pulling him closer to her. When their bodies touched at that crucial point he let out a moan that she is sure would have been heard by all in a 5 klm radius.

He was desperate for her. He hadn’t touched her intimately in what seemed like forever. His hands roamed her body as his lips roamed hers. She responded to him as hungrily as he ravaged her. Megan returned to him everything that he did to her. This was no one sided thing; she wanted him now,....... right now. And she wasn’t afraid to let him know it. Jon raised the skirt of her dress to her thighs. Running his hands along her freshly waxed legs as he pressed himself against her. The only thing separating their bodies was the thin wet material of her lace panties and his jeans. “Megan this is driving me crazy. I need you now.”

Their little moment in time was shattered by the opening of the kitchen door and Krystal entered with more dishes, followed shortly by Dorothea. Thankfully Krystal had the good sense to open the door slowly and noisily. So as to give them time to separate before Dorothea entered. They separated quickly with a feeling of déjà vu.


Megan clambered off the bench in record time letting her dress fall from her thighs. Catching her breath she pretended to be conversing with Jon while she placed the glasses in the dishwasher.

“And what is taking you two so long?" Dorothea asked giving Jon a playful little slap on his butt.

“We are just having a chat, isn’t that right Megan?”

“It sure is” she replied awkwardly. And still out of breath.

“And what do you too have to talk about that has kept you out here for so long?" asked Dorothea.

Saving them both from the embarrassment of having to come up with an answer Krystal said that Richie has something he wants to say to everyone so if they could make their way back he would really appreciate it.

Making their way back to the others Megan appeared to be a little shaken. She wondered if Dorothea suspected anything. Time would tell but right now she had to listen to Richie.

Dorothea enjoyed the little game she was playing. Although Jon wished she had of toned it down a little. Poor Megan.

“I wanted to save this for just the few of us, purely incase I was humiliated. Which I hope isn’t the case.” He smiled at Megan and she knew instantly what he was going to do. She smiled back and gave him an encouraging nod.

“My darling Krystal can you come stand beside me for a second please?” Krystal stood beside him and he continued. “I know a good thing when I see one" he said looking into her eyes. “We are good together and good for each other. I love you, and you love me." He took a breath. "Would you do me the honor in front of my family, my brotherhood of accepting my hand in marriage?” Krystal was absolutely gob smacked. He got down on one knee and took her hand in his and said “Krystal, will you marry me?”

There were cheers and congratulations all round. Kisses and hugs and high 5’s everywhere.

“Oh, isn’t it lovely” Dorothea said “Two people so much in love?”

“Yes it is” Megan answered with tears in her eyes. “They are so happy together. Richie makes her very happy”

Seizing the opportunity Dorothea followed Krystal to the kitchen to get some bottles of wine for a toast.

“As happy as Jon makes you Megan”?
