Day to Day Chapter 66
"No." she said as she retrieved her leg from his grasp and sat up in the water. "Jon, why are you not wearing your wedding ring?" Never once had she seen him without it. He always wore it. He never took it off. Not even during their affair had he taken the ring Dorothea had given him off.
He had dreaded this very moment. Why didn’t he just leave it on? Megan had enough to deal with she didn't need more.
"Megan, Dot and I have split up."
"WHAT? When? Why?" she said suddenly feeling guilty.
"I guess she just got tired of having to share me." He said with a shrug of his warm tanned shoulders. "She said she wants time out. Sort of like a trial separation I guess."
"And how do you feel about that?"
"Not good. But I can understand where Dot is coming from. I really don't hold it against her. Maybe she is right. Maybe we do need time apart. We have been together a long time. So for the moment I am free to do as I please. And right now Miss Johnson I want to do this."
He took her leg back in his hand and picked up the loofa sponge and slowly rubbed the sponge over her leg.
"I want to stay her a while with you if that’s ok." He didn't wait for her to answer, "And I want to see you well. And after that we will talk about the future. OK?"
"Ok." she said and smiled as she closed her eyes once again.
"How’s your treatment going?"
"Good. I've had 7 already, only 5 to go now. So far all results are positive. Michael thinks that everything is going well. But we won't know until well after the treatment is done if it has been successful or not. But Michael thinks there is a very good chance of a complete cure."
"Well that is good news. So you have spent a lot of time with Michael during my absence?"
"Yes I have."
"Ah, Ha"
"Oh no you don’t Jon Bon Jovi."
"What." he smiled that devilishly handsome smile. She once again pulled her leg from his grasp.
"Don't you start playing the jealous card on me. Michael and I are nothing more than friends. We went to school together. I can assure you we will never be more than that."
"I know." he kissed her toes. "I just wanted you to know that I don’t want to be sharing you anytime soon." He took her little toe in his mouth and she groaned.
"So it’s ok for you to be shared but not me huh?" she retorted while trying to maintain her regular breathing pattern. As he sucked the second toe into his mouth. "You are forgetting Mr. Bon Jovi that I am not the one here that is being shared. You are. You are the one that has had the wife during our relationship."
Releasing her toes from is teasing tongue he said. "Dorothea chose to separate but Megan it is something that I have wanted for a long time, I guess I just couldn’t be bothered going through the motions. After all we are supposed to be the marriage of rock and roll. Endurance and longevity and undying love and all that crap. But that doesn't exist, not in reality anyway."
"What are you trying to say Jon?"
"I'm trying to say that I am happy with you Megan. I'll still have my kids from time to time. So as long as you can handle that I would like to stick around. And as I said once the treatment is over we will take about the future then. Unless you want to talk about it now."
Megan sat forward in the water and kissed him. "Jon you know you are more than welcome. Children and all. Even when I am well and back in the States"
As the water turned cold they both got out and dried off.
"Will you spend the rest of your life with me Megan?" He said softly as he took her in his arms and breathed in the aroma of her freshly washed hair.
"Will I or Would I?'' she replied resting her head on his chest.
"It means the same thing doesn’t it?" Jon said quietly almost a whisper as he held her body in his arms as they danced around the floor.
"No. 'Would I' means that 'Would I sometime in this life time consider spending our lives together?'. 'Will I' means that you are asking me 'Will I spend my life with you?'. So I before I can answer that I need to know if you are asking me 'Will I?' or 'Would I?'."
"Ok. Glad we straightened that out. So what is it going to be then?"
"Would I? Hell yeah. You know I would. Will I? that’s a harder question to answer. And Jon, I'm sorry I can't answer that question right now. With so much going on in both our lives it really wasn't fair to ask me that now."Megan lay awake for hours that night after they made love and in the nights to follow. Rehashing everything in her mind. There was so much to consider in making her decision. Her accident, her memory loss which thakfully now she had regained. Her cancer, her recovery. Dot and their children, Jon's work commitments and the life style that went along with it. So much had to be considered. She really had to think about it. She knew her life would be changed forever if her and Jon united.
Did Jon really mean it? Did he really mean that he was willing to give up Dorothea and stay with Megan as long as she was accepting of his children?
Could it really be possible that after all this time and all that they had been through that Jon could really be hers? She knew the answer to his question.
Yes, Jon and Megan would be just like the M and J on her gold and diamond pendant that Jon had bought for her. They would forever become one. They would forever be united; she knew there was no way she could ever refuse him.
Let what God has yoked together let no man put apart.
The End.
