Operation: Perfume

Jon had gotten wonderful news when Ellie talked to him that she would love to join him for a little bit when they would be in London but only if he wanted her to. Well Jon jumped at the chance and asked when she could get there and she told him any time just let her know and she’ll get the tickets and she’ll be on that plane as fast as she can. She missed him so bad that she couldn’t go on another day without seeing him and Jon told her that he would come and get her if he could. 

“Oh Baby I can’t wait for you to be here I’ve missed you so fucking much.” He told her aching.

“I know I was watching Jimmy and all I could see was you in him and I broke down so Mom told me to call you and see if it would be alright if I fly out and see you.” She told him trying so hard to not break down on him.

“Well your Mom is a very wise woman. Why do you think I love her daughter so much?” He told her.

“Oh you’re good Bongiovi.” She told him giggling.

“That I already know baby.  Oh by the way um you can come out here the second week ok? Because we’ll be switching over from the Scorpions to Judas Priest so we’ll be getting to know each other you know and it will be just us guys and you know how that is.” Jon was trying to explain to her and not have her around when he sees the doctor.

“That’s fine Jon I get it you don’t want me around so you can go out drinking with the guys and feel guilty about it. No problem I know when I’m getting the brush off. Go have fun with your little friends and I’ll see you afterwards. Just don’t get yourself into trouble because I’m not bailing you out.” She told him giggling.

Smiling he told her back, “Of course you would because you love me so there. Don't try coning a con Baby.” He told her chuckling.

“Well you know you can get me to do anything you want me to just by looking at me with those baby blues of yours.” She told him meaning every word of it.

“Ok so before I cum right here myself I’m going to let you go before we start having phone sex because I won’t be able to help myself.” He told her nearly panting.

“Well I need to go anyway your son will be home any minute his uncles took him out for some ice cream that they promised him earlier.” She told him.

“Hey do you think they spoil him just a little?” Jon wondered.

 “Are you kidding me? Of course they do. But what’s so bad about that? I remember my Grandmother because of it and my Uncle Chick doing it so and they’re great memories. And life is too short. Grandma only was with me til I was two and a half  years old and I think for me to remember her is wonderful and that’s because we were that close. Believe me it will be good for him. Why what’s your problem with it?” she wanted to know.

“Well if we up root him he won’t have any of them around him anymore to lean on won’t that be problematic for him?” Jon wanted to know.

“Well somewhat but he can talk to them on the phone any time he wants and we can go home also for visits he’ll adjust Jon that’s what kids do. He’ll be fine. It’s us grownups who can’t.” she told him.

“I…I guess you’re right. I do sound a little over proactive don’t I?” he said to her.

“No you sound like a Daddy. And I love it! And I love you! I’ll start making the arrangements because the sooner I can get to you the happier I’ll be.” She told him and he was too. Jon finally hung up the telephone and was very happy that she was coming. That night’s show came off without a hitch. Even Jon’s voice was spot on. The guys couldn’t believe it they didn’t even have to help with anything tonight. Yes Jon was flying without a parachute tonight. And everyone noticed. After they showered and after they changed they were headed to the after party when they stopped to talk to him before they entered.

“Hey man what the hell is going on with you Jon? I mean I’ve only seen that look on your face a couple of times and one of them was back in high school when Tim Sanders grabbed your guitar and you beat the shit out of him.” Dave told everyone.

“Ok, ok look Richie mentioned something earlier about Doc setting us up last night and if he did well I want to see if he tries again tonight. Richie do you remember what the girl looked like that you took back to the hotel?” Jon asked.

“Yeah of course I do I’m not that bad you know.” Richie told them.

“Yeah sure he does? When you get bombed you’re lucky you can tell if it’s a guy or a girl Sambora.” Alec laughed.

“Bite me Such.” Rich retorted.

“Alright will you guys knock it off. Now look if I remember correctly the girl that was with me I believe she said her name was Mindy, Rich did the girl with you give her name?” Jon asked him.

“Um I didn’t ask and she wasn’t telling I’m sorry Jon at the time I wasn’t thinking that it was a set up until I talked to you.” He told Jon feeling stupid.

“No we weren’t looking for anything at the time I think she only  told me because I was freaking out that I slept with her that’s all.” Jon told them feeling guilty.

“Oh that’s right but Ellie doesn’t have to find out Jon we’re not going to say anything. You know our motto what happens in Bon Jovi stays in Bon Jovi.” David said.

“I appreciate that guys now let’s go in and see what happens ok?” Jon told them.

They walked in and looked over the room when Richie grabbed Jon’s arm and pointed over to the back rear left. There standing talking to a couple of the Scorpions were the two girls from last night. Doc wasn’t that far from them so the guys decide to try the right side of the room to see if they would come to them or see if different girls would try their luck. Either way Jon was not going back to his room with anyone he decided.

After about an hour Jon was talking to one of the radio D.J.’s when this cute blondish reddish hair girl walked up to him. She stood next to him and he bumped into her spilling a little of her drink on her but there was just something else about her. “Oh excuse me.” Jon said.

“Oh that’s ok. “She told him wiping off her skirt.

“Let me get some napkins or something.” He told her.

“No really it’s fine see just a little spilt. I’m Lori by the way.” She told him.

“I’m Jon.” He said as he extending his hand.

Taking it and both shaking. “So I liked your set you guys are really good.” She told him.”

“Thanks we try. So why are you here? I mean what do you do?” Jon asked her.

“Oh I work for Teen Beat Magazine I’m one of the reporters my partner Steve did an interview with you guys this afternoon but I guess you don’t remember me.” She asked him.

“No I don’t. If you were there I’d think I remember you.” He told her.

“Well I wasn’t exactly wearing this outfit and I did have my hair in a ponytail. Besides I’m just an intern so I don’t get to ask the questions.” She told him. She was close enough to him when it dawned on him what it was that was so familiar about the girl last night and this one tonight. It was their perfume. They are wearing the same damn perfume that Ellie wears. Oh my God that’s why he thought that Mindy could have been Ellie last night. And if he was drunk Lori could have been passed off as Ellie also. Son-of-a-Bitch!

“Um Lori can I ask you a very strange question?” he asked.

“Why sure do you want to go up to your room for this?’” she wanted to know.

“No, no I don’t. I just want to know is this your regular perfume?” he wanted to know.

“What? Are you kidding me?” she asked him stunned.

“No I’m not I really need to know. So is it?” he got demanding.

“No it’s not my regular perfume. Someone asked me to wear it and that I would get paid an extra one hundred dollars if I did as a promotion. So I wore it. Why?” she asked him.

“What about hitting on me?” he asked her.

“Conceded much? Look everyone at the magazine knows I’m a big fan so Steve brought me to the concert tonight and he told me I’d get to meet you guys. Did I do something wrong?” she asked him.

“No Lori you didn’t but I need Steve’s last name ok?” he asked as nicely as he could despite his anger at what was going on.

“It’s Benson. Steve Benson.” She told him.

Jon thanked her and went off to find Richie. He found him at the bar talking to some blonde and was getting her a drink. Walking up to him, “Rich I need to talk to you now.” Jon told him.

“Can it wait just a little bit?” Richie asked him.

“No it can’t!” Jon empathized.  

“Oh my God you’re Jon Bon Jovi! I just love you so much! I love just about everything you do!” this girl was going on and on. Jon turned around and gave her a weak smile. Richie just looked at the both of them and knew it was over.

“Oh gee Jon Thanks a lot.” He told him.

“Oh come on you don’t want to be with someone who wants someone else do you?” he asked him as the girl was still fawning over Jon.

“No I guess not but it would have been an easy lay. What’s up?” he asked Jon.

“Not here let’s go.” Jon told him as he started to drag him away. They met up with Dave and Tico and asked them to keep watch on Doc for them as they were going back to the hotel but not to tell anyone else were they were going.

When they got to the hotel Jon had explained to Richie all about the perfume and why he thought the girl was Ellie. Richie thought that was genius on their part but Jon was pissed to no end. 

“Richie we still don’t know what’s up their sleeve. I need to get a hold of Tom and tell him what’s going on so he knows what the hell they’re doing.  I mean if Doc is this low to do that God only knows what else he’ll do. I mean what if they took pictures Richie? We don’t know if they didn’t.” Jon said excitable.

“Hey I’ve got an idea where’s the phone?” Richie asked as Jon grabbed it Richie called over to the auditorium and asked for David Bryan. It didn’t take too long luckily for David to answer and Richie gave his plan to him. David was ecstatic that he got to play James Bond. He told him that he would do his best and have her to his suite by nights end. As Richie hung up he looked at Jon and said, “Were in trouble here because we have the Joker to play James Bond. He’s going to so fuck this up.” Richie told Jon as they both started to laugh hysterically. 

*********************************************************************

Dave started to look around for that girl that had Jon last night. After circling the room he finally saw her talking with some guy that he didn’t know. He walked over trying to think of what he was going to say when Alec saw him and ran into him. “Davy old Davy my friend.” He said to him drunker than a skunk.

“Alec what are you doing? I thought you were trying to get that brunette back there back to your room?” he asked him pissed.

“I was but her boyfriend came over and well you know. So what are you doing alone where’s your wifey?” he asked him.

“Look why don’t you go over there and ask Tico what’s he doing ok?” he told Alec as he pointed to where Tico was standing.

Alec looked over and saw Tico talking with some women and took off to David’s relief. Mindy saw David standing there all by his lonesome and thought what the hell if she couldn’t get Jon and seeing that he wasn’t there anyway why not try one of his bandmates. Maybe she could get some info from him and if not at least she’d have some fun. She walked over to where Dave was standing and introduced herself.

“Excuse me Hi my name is Mindy.” She told him smiling.

“Well Hello there Mindy. I’m Dave, David Bryan.” He told her back.

“Yes I know you’re one of Bon Jovi aren’t you?” she asked him.

“Why yes I am. May I freshen your drink for you?” he asked.

“That would be nice.” She told him. They bantered like this for about half an hour or so until she made her move and asked him if he would be more comfortable somewhere more private. He told her that he would and if she would like to come back with him to his hotel room. She told him that she thought he would never ask. They headed out as Tico noticed them and since he had one of the security already bring Alec back and tuck him in for the night he could follow them back without a problem. But first he called Jon to let them know they were on their way.

*********************************************************************

“That was Dave they’re on their way.” Jon told Richie.

“Great but um Kidd what are we going to do when they get here?” Richie wanted to know.

“Rich, fine I’ll go over this with you one more time.” Jon told him agitated. “Were going to hide in Dave’s room so when he brings her there he’s going to start asking her questions and when she starts getting all tongued tied and wants to leave that’s when we jump out. Got it?” Jon asked him.  

“Got it.” Richie reassured him. They headed over to Dave’s room and got situated in the living room closet when they heard the elevator doors open from down the hall. They nearly killed each other trying to get in there as their adrenaline was racing.

“Now just keep quite Sambora because if she knows were in here then the whole thing goes out the window.” Jon said anxiously.

“Well then you better tell Joker that so he doesn’t blow it then.” Richie reminded Jon. Jon just gave him the stink eye as they heard the door open.

“So Mindy won’t you come in and make yourself comfortable.” Dave told her. Walking in she looked around and thought not bad for a band who opens for the main act but they will be the headlining group on their tour in the near future so…

“Mindy would you like a drink?” Dave asked her. Mindy gave him her drink order and went to sit down on the couch. She had taken off her jacket as David walked over to her to give her and she handed him her jacket and as he took it he walked over to the closet. As he opened up the closet he was taken by surprised by Jon and Richie standing there as Jon had his finger up to his lips. But Dave gave a little yelp anyway.

“Dave is there anything wrong?” Mindy asked him.

As the guys were shaking their heads no Dave said to her no that everything was fine and Richie took her jacket from David as he closed the door.  “So let’s get to know each other shall we?” he asked her.

“Well what do you want to know?” she asked him sliding closer to him.

“Well for starters that perfume your wearing is driving me crazy.” He told her as he started to nuzzle her neck as she let him so he could get a nibble. She slid so close that she could kiss him and they started to make out.

Back in the closet Jon and Richie had their ears to the door trying hard to hear anything that was going on in the living room. “So can you hear anything?” Richie whispered to Jon.

“No I can’t. I swear to God if he’s doing anything other than trying to get info I swear I’ll…” Jon was trying to say as Richie interrupted him.

“Well you did put him in charge of this so you’re going to get what you’re going to get.” Richie stated.

“That doesn’t help Rich.” Jon stated.

“Look Joker will come thru he knows you’re counting on him.” Richie told him.

“You’re right I’m just nervous that’s all.”

Back out in the living room Dave finally came up for air. “Well that was nice.” Dave told her caressing her arm.

“Yes wasn’t it.” she told him rubbing up and down his thigh.

He looked down at her hand and inhaled deeply and kept saying to himself this is for Jon. “Um Mindy you didn’t tell him what the um perfume was called.” He reminded her.

“What? Oh you really want to know?” she asked him as he shooked his head yes. “Fine it called Wind Song they were giving it out at this party the other night.” She told him.

“Really because I swear I’ve smelled this before. I just can’t put my finger on it.” Dave told her.

“Really? Well a lot of the girls were wearing it. Like I said they were giving it out free at this party we were at.” She told him again getting s little annoyed now. What she didn’t see was the closet door opening up and Jon and Richie coming out and quietly coming up behind her.

“Well what I need to know is why were they giving this particular perfume out at the party and why were you wearing it when you were with my friend Jon the night you two hooked up?” Dave asked her.

“Excuse me? How the hell do you know about that? He told me that he wanted our little tete-a-tete kept quiet.” She told David shocked that he knew anything about it.

David just looked at her when Jon spoked up. “Well babe I did want it quiet but apparently someone is trying to gas light me and I’m going to find out who the hell it is.” Jon said as she turned around quickly and nearly fell off of the couch in shock as she saw Jon standing there with Richie. “Rich go let Tico in will you.”

Mindy looked at him and asked, “What the hell is this?”

“Won’t you tell me?” he asked her pissed.

“I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about?” she told him.

“I think you do.” Jon said as Tico came in with Richie and sat across from them so there was no way she could run from them.

Mindy just looked at the four of them and just sat there trying to think of her next move. Jon moved around the couch and sat next to her. “Ok Mindy tell me the night me met it’s kind of hazy so you’re going to fill in the blanks for me. We met at the after party and I was feeling no pain I take it. So how the hell did you get me to take you back to my hotel room.” He asked her.

Swallowing hard she knew she couldn’t run. She looked at David and said, “You Jackass you set me up.”

“Sorry Sweetie but we guys stick together. Now answer his question.” David told her glaring.

“Well it wasn’t hard you were certainly willing. I just batted my eyes at you and said a few ego lovingcentric words to you and patted your ass and you were mine.” She told him smiling.

“You’re a fucking Bitch. Tell me why were you wearing the damn perfume!” he yelled.

“Why are you so hung up on the damn perfume?” she wanted to know. She knew Doc had hired her to try and get Jon into bed and the other girls too but she was just putting two and two together about the perfume.

“I told you they were giving it out free at this party I was at. Plus some of these other girls that were at the after party were there also. You know some reporters and magazines and models were there so they were giving it out. What’s the big deal?” she asked him with a straight face.

“The big fucking deal is that perfume is worn by my girlfriend and I never noticed it on any other girl before until the other night when I remembered smelling it on you then at the after party on almost every girl there. So you’re going to tell him that those girls and you weren’t trying to set me up by thinking that my girlfriend was with me when actually it was a bunch of whores that I brought back to my room?” Jon asked her pissed.

“Hey! Watch it I’m no whore. I really liked you so when he…oh crap.” She stopped dead knowing that she just slipped up.

The four of them just looked at each other and knew that she fucked up. “Well it looks like she slipped up. What do you want to do Jon? “ Tico asked him.

“Well it looks like she could use another drink. Dave why don’t you get her another one because I think she’s going to need it. Tico watch her for a second ok?” Jon asked him as he signaled to Richie to go into the bedroom with him.
