A long awaited return (Jon and Chris)

Jon had went a concert that Christina had put on and had patiently been waiting for her backstage hoping that once again she would talk to him. He wished she would quit avoiding him and let him explain, this act of her had been going on way to long and she needed to get over it and listen to him. She either saw him in the back or didn't go the way he was so he was not able to catch her once again, but he was able to follow her after she left.

He noticed her walk into the bar next door so of course he smirked and followed her into the bar. Hopefully her body guards who pay him no mind if he just sat down next to her at the bar. He ordered a beer and looked into the mirror behind the bar, "You know you can't avoid me forever." He commented, "When two people are in love it is inevitable that they find each other eventually."

Chris had seen him while she was on stage, Jonathan, the man she once loved and still did love. She had went with her band backstage when the concert was over and she saw him backstage and quickly went the other way, Chris had always thought if you avoided something long enough it would go away. Apparently that was not the case with Jon.

Chris snuck out the back way and went to the bar next door to the venue and sat down at the bar, she ordered a shot of whiskey and waited while the bar tender got it. She shooed her body guards away and they sat down in a corner and watched her. The bar tender gave her the shot and she drank it. She didn't notice that someone had even sat down next to her. Her head shot up from looking at the bar and she saw Jon sitting there. " I can sure as hell try to avoid you forever." She said before ordering another shot. " So you're referring to yourself and what's her face?" She added coldly, she was one of those people that carried grudges for a long while, it still hurt her every time she thought back on the last day she saw him.

Jon must admit that he was glad once Chris realized that he was sitting next to her that she did not just get up and walk away. Not that he would have let her because he missed her and they really needed to talk. It had been like 5 years she had been avoiding him, but yet she had kept his birthday and Christmas gifts every year so she must have felt something in there. He got his beer and sipped on it. “If someone would have listened to me all those years ago then she would not have had any reason to avoid me.” Jon said still looking at his beer.

Jon just shook his head when she mentioned Randi again, the one woman that came between Chris and him for no reason. Well some reason that Chris had came up with in her mind. “There has never been anything going on between Randi and I and if someone would have listened to me we would have never had to go thru this.” Jon said and sipped his beer. “There is only one woman who has held my heart for years, but she has been too stubborn to even listen to me.” Jon stated, “Randi is a lesbian and was all the way thru high school, but apparently you failed to notice the signs.”

Chris was surprised she hadn't gotten up to leave when he sat down by her, she didn't really want to though, she always loved being next to him but kept that to herself. She thought her feelings for him had disappeared over the past five years, but apparently she thought wrong. Her feelings were still there and stronger than ever. But Chris subconsciously knew the feelings were still there as she never returned the gifts he had sent her for her birthday and Christmas. Chris ordered a beer and another shot.

Chris had always been the jealous type, she regrettably inherited that from her mother, so when she saw Jon and Randi together she immediately thought they were seeing each other. " If our roles would have been reversed would you have listened to me?" She asked him as her eyes narrowed a bit, he probably wouldn't have reacted as badly as she had, but she knew he would have asked her about it probably. " Red heads are stubborn, haven't you heard about that?" She added as she drank her shot. When he said Randi was a lesbian Chris's eyes widened and she swallowed some of her beer. " She was very good at hiding it." She said in a small tone of voice, she was beginning to feel terrible about her reaction.

Jonathan sipped on his beer waiting to see if Chris was going to stay or if she was going to go. They had wasting so many years over a misunderstanding and he wanted her back into his life again. He had already waited five years and really did not want to wait another five. “I don’t recall ever questioned you about the men. “ He said holding the beer in his hands. “But then we never made it official that we were together. So why would I get jealous of you talking to someone?” Jon had a point.

Jon took a drink of his beer, “You have always been stubborn, but then you have always listened to what I had to say.” Jon was right, at least the way he was thinking about it. Jon noticed the changed in behavior when he told her about Randi. “Of course she was, she didn’t want a lot of people knowing because of her parents.” Jon stated. “Makes you look at things a little different. Doesn't it?”

Chris sighed quietly, he had a point. They weren't dating at the time, but in Chris's screwed up head she had felt like they were. She really didn't have a definitive reason for being jealous. She sipped on her bear again before grumbling. " You have a point." She sipped her beer again. " I just got jealous because I liked you and I thought you liked her more than you ever liked me." She added with a shake of her head.

Chris glanced at Jon. " Yes I have always listened to what you say unless I was very angry." She said as she stared down at the bar, she now felt extremely bad for reacting as terribly as she did. She ordered another shot and told the bar tender to leave the bottle before she drank the shot. When he asked her if it made her see things differently she looked down. " Maybe." She said quickly and in a small tiny voice.

Jon knew all too well that Chris realized that she had made a mistake, but he knew he would always forgive her for anything. As he listened to her talk about her feelings he was wishing that they would have talked all those years back. Jon could not help but place his arms around Christina and pulled her close to him. "I cannot believe that you would ever think that I think someone more than you." Jon stated. "You are the only woman that holds the key to my heart." He said then kissed her head.

"This time you were very angry and didn't even talk to me." Jon stated the obvious of course. He still had his arm over her shoulder. "Maybe from here on out when we are mad at each other we will just have to talk, then maybe we can save ourselves some pain in the future." Jon admitted hoping he could have Chris back in his life because he missed her.

Chris wished she had talked with Jon all those years ago instead of blowing up and acting like a wicked witch. When Jon pulled her into his arms and smiled a bit, she really missed it when he would hold her like this, she always felt safe and comfortable in his arms. " I was a insecure teenager back then. So of course i thought that, but i was also crazy back then too." She giggled a bit, she snuggled up close to him. " I am glad to hear that, because you're the only man that holds the key to my heart." She said.

Chris listened to him and she nodded. " Thank you captain obvious." She said jokingly as she drank her shot and looked at him. " I agree. That sounds like an excellent plan, rather us talk it out than have each other yelling and screaming." She said, she really wanted Jon in her life again, she missed him terribly and now they hopefully made up and could move on from this.

" So, what has the great Jonathan Browning been doing all these years hmm?" She asked him curiously.

Jonathan had to admit he was currently in heaven holding Chris in his arms because he never thought this day would ever come again. Jon of course on drunken nights had attempted to bed other woman, but none of them were Chris and he had such a hard time doing anything. It got so bad that many a woman had hit him for not performing. He could not help but laugh a little when she called herself crazy back then, but then had that really changed. “Please we were all crazy back then.” Jon stated, “Besides you would not be you if you were not a little crazy now.” He laughed then took a drink.

Jon shrugged a little at her comment and too be honest he was not sure how else to put it. He just wanted them to move forward so they could get on with their lives together. “I cannot imagine that between our temperaments that we can always agree or that there will not be any fighting.” Jon stated. “But I want us to be able to work thru things in the end and not ignore each other.” Jon had continued. “Just remember I was just as much at fault, because I didn’t fight harder.”

When she wanted to know what Jon had been doing he really did not know what all to tell her because there really wasn’t much that he had been doing. He followed her around the country for the most part. “Well for the most part I took a job as security for this well known singer.” He said with a shrug. “I wanted to be close to her, but not close enough that she knew it was me.” Jon smirked thinking about his perfect roadie attire he wore and he didn’t think it looked anything like him. He wore a black long haired wig and a black mustache. “I just wanted to make sure she was protected from harm, but when I wasn’t doing that I was lost in a bottle in some bar.”

Chris loved that Jon was holding her, she discreetly pinched herself on the arm to make sure she wasn't dreaming. She had this sort of dream so many times that she lost track, every time she had a dream of Jon she could never get it out of her mind. She even tried to sleep with a few guys a couple of times to see if it would get him off her mind but it didn't. Before anything could even happen she would tell them she couldn't, it was because they weren't her Jonathan. " Heh, yeah we were all crazy." She agreed than laughed. " That's true. Even though I'm crazy you still love me though, right?" She said.

Chris listened to him and he was right, even when before the whole Randi thing they would get into explosive arguments at school. But they always made up in the end, some people even joked they acted like they were married already. " Yes we both have tempers so we will get into a few fights every now and then. But like you said, we'll work through them instead of ignoring each other, that sounds like a good plan." She said as she poured herself another shot and drank it. " I didn't let you fight harder Jonathan." She mumbled softly.

Chris listened to Jon speak about what he'd been doing these last couple years and her eye brows were raised in surprise when he said he'd been doing security for this singer. " Oh yeah? Who is it? Maybe I know them." She said as she looked at him, as he continued talking she smiled softly. " Oh really huh? And what did this singer lady look like hmm?" She asked him as she leaned forward a bit. " Ah. So you've been doing like me, when we're not working we're in a bar somewhere, getting drunk." She said as she poured herself another shot and drank it in one gulp.

Jon could not help but hold her close while she got lost in her own thoughts, just like he had done. They both knew this life would not be complete without the other one there to help them along. Jon loved her because she was crazy and full of life, which was one of the many things he loved about her. “How could you be crazy ever stop me from loving you.” He said then kissed her cheek, “Besides if I didn’t love you I would not have followed you all around the world.”

Jon knew all too well about their tempers and he knew if they would just start believing in the love they have for each other that they would start rising above everything. The two of them could become a unstoppable team. “We will have each other’s back from here on out.” Jon admitted. “You might not have let me fight harder, but I didn’t try to either.” Jon said and then took the drink out of her hand and kissed it. “First thing we need to do is put away the booze.” He said because that does not help their problems.

Jon got a cute smirk on his face and moved to standing up behind her on the bar stool and moved her hair a little bit out of his way. “Well she is about my height, fiery red hair.” Jon said as he continued to tease her neck with kisses. “She is a beautiful singer, with the most beautiful smile.” He smiled, “Ring any bells?”

Chris relished being in Jon's arms as she had gotten lost in thought as he did. She had her arms wrapped around him tightly, not wanting him to leave her. She knew he was made for her and vice versa, her life would never be complete as long as Jon was no longer a part of it. Now that he was again, she felt whole. Chris loved that Jon was always happy go lucky, caring, loving, compassionate and because he could deal with her craziness. She giggled a bit. " I dunno, some people say being crazy is a complete turn off." She said, her cheeks flushed a bit as he kissed her cheek. " I'm glad you did that. I knew I had thought I had seen you at a majority of my concerts, but I just thought it was my mind playing tricks on me because I was wishing you were there." She admitted to him.

Chris knew that their tempers could be bad at times, but when they believed in each others love for the other they were an unstoppable team and that had been proven more than once. " Agreed." She said with a firm nod. " Let's just agree that neither of us tried our hardest." She told him, she watched him take beer drink out of her hand, she sighed but nodded, he was right. Booze was a major part of their arguing and fights. She blushed a bit. " You're right. Maybe a glass of wine on special occasions and during dinner. But only one glass." She suggested.

Chris smirked a bit as she watched him get up and walk around with that very cute smirk of his. She tilted her head a bit and grabbed her hair and moved it to the other shoulder. As she listened her smirk only widened, she giggled when Jon began to tease her neck with kisses. " Hmm...it rings a few, does she also have the best and most hottest boyfriend/body guard in the entire world?" She asked him with a smirk, the word 'boyfriend' had accidentally slipped out but she didn't care.

Chris had been Jon’s one true love as long as he could remember and there was never a time that he ever wanted someone else.  He wanted her to be his first with everything and when he was 11 he knew that he was going to marry her one day and it didn’t matter to him what anyone said.  He thought it was going to kill him when she pushed him away which was why he drove himself into a bottle.  He was never going to let her do it again.  “Well I can’t think of anything about you that turns me off.”  He smirked then leaned in to whisper, “Even your temper turns me on.”  Jon smiled and shrugs a little, “Well I always made sure I had an assignment where you were.”  Jon told her with a blush, “I have only missed 3 concerts I think and that was the month I spent in the hospital.”  He said.

Jon had to tell the truth and admit it to himself that he really enjoyed a good beer or a glass of wine and maybe they could either cut it out all together or cut way back.  He like the idea of being sober because he had done way too many stupid things drunk, “Something to protect ourselves from each other.”  He laughed a little.  “Wine with dinner would be perfect, or maybe a beer.”

Jon listened to her and he moved his lips to the other side of her neck when she moved her hair, “Hmm, seems someone likes this attention.”  He smiled and still kissing.  “Yes, she does.  She just seemed to forgot she had this boyfriend.”  He smirked, “But that’s ok, she is forgiven.”  He said as he placed his arms around her, “Feel like going back to my hotel room?  Or yours?”  He asked.  He was not ready to step into the sex phase because they still had things to work through, but he wanted to just sleep next to her and hold her because he had missed her so.

Chris could not be more angry at herself for pushing Jon away all those years ago. It killed her to do it, which was what drove her into her music, touring, and parties. If she had only heard him out than they could have been happy all these years, maybe even engaged or something. But that was all in the past, now they could start anew again and this time she wasn't going to let him go, not now, not ever. She would rather die than let Jon go again. Chris smirked at his comment. " Mmm I bet. What is it they say? Sex is always better with a feisty red head?" She asked with a small giggle. She smiled. " Aww. You're probably the cutest stalker in the whole world," she joked with a laugh before her eyes went wide. " Hospital? What were you doing in the hospital? What happened to make you end up in a hospital?!" She asked him, a million things going through her head.

Chris knew they had to either cut out alcohol altogether or cut it back. She would choose the latter. She nodded as she listened to Jon speak. " Mhmm. Wine or beer. After that nothing else." She told him honestly. " Will I have to get a contract for us to sign to our agreement with drinking?" She asked him jokingly with a small laugh, she paid her and Jon's tab at the bar while she thought about it and knew he would probably scold her later for it so she blushed a bit.

Chris smirked as she closed her eyes and kept her head tilted as he began to kiss the other side of her neck. " Like? Try loves the attention." She corrected him. " Yes. But you know she is a very forgetful person, she would forget what her name was if you didn't tell her." She said with a small giggle. " Yay!" She added when she was forgiven, she leaned back against his chest and loved his arms being around her. She looked thoughtful for a moment when he asked her a question. " Well, my hotel room is right next door to my band mates and tour mates, sadly its right in between them, so that means there will be two loud parties more than likely. So I say your room." She told him, she did not feel like listening to loud music or anything like that while just snuggling and talking with Jon.

Chris waved her bodyguards away, telling them she would be safe with Jon. They reluctantly nodded and left the bar, Chris stood up. " Ready?" She asked, she couldn't wait to just lay down next to him and fall asleep in his warm embrace.
