Chapter 7

Sarah and Karen had gotten back to the room when they had started in on each other. Karen had decided to get the boys out of the way when they had gotten back to their room and had blasted her for letting Jon walk all over her. Sarah had asked her really what was he doing that was so bad. Well that set her off even more as she gave her a list of things that she had seen since she had gotten there. Sarah just laughed at her and that she was not acting like she did with Kyle and to stop. Karen was getting more frustrated with her because she did have a tendency to let men walk all over her. This had gone on for quite a while and about a couple of bottles of wine later they had gotten really silly. So yes they had decided to order some food to soak some of the silliness up.

Jon had called Doc and explained everything to him and he never heard Doc as happy as he was when he heard him say scam.

“Doc will you knock it off. I feel foolish as it is. I just need you put a quick statement saying this whole marriage thing was a scam and that I’m single and it was due to a glitch in the registry. Mitch doesn’t want the people who he believes did this to me and Sarah know we know about them so he wants you to go ahead and make the statement and see it they show themselves.” Jon explained to Doc.

“I don’t like it Jon not one bit. Using my lead singer as bait. What if something goes wrong how the hell am I going to explain this to everyone Jon?” Doc wanted to know.

“Nothing is going to go wrong. Trust me, just do your job and do this.” he told him and hung up the phone. He walked over to the bar and took his drink that he left there and let the golden liquid go down his throat burning just a little. He kept thinking about what went down earlier when the girls were here and Karen chewed him out. He really couldn’t get her out of his mind. She was spunky the way she stood up for Sarah. He liked that. Jon walked to the phone and dialed Richie’s room. He let it ring and finally Richie picked up. “Hey Rich you want to go for a walk with me?”

The girls were really silly now and feeling no pain.

“You, you know you always chickened out when it came to lying.” Karen said as she was giggling her head off at Sarah.

“Well excuse me. But you know I have a problem. (snorting and laughing even harder) I have a tic in my eye. My parents can tell.” As she took another sip of her wine.

“Yeah well you suck.” Karen burst out laughing and they really didn’t know why.

“Well all I can say it’s a good thing you did all the talking back in High School or we would have been in so much trouble.” Sarah laughed as she knew if she did they would have been dead.

“Yeah no shit right. Good thing the Principle and the teachers didn’t catch on.” Karen said when there was a knock on their door. “Who the hell is that?”

“Don't know?” Sarah said.

“Let’s stay very quiet maybe they’ll go away.” She suggested.

“Who will go away?” Sarah asked her.

“The Principle.” Karen said.

“I don’t think he’s here. I’ll go see.” Sarah told her and went to go check.

“Ok I’ll back you up.” She told her and grabbed one of the empty wine bottles as a weapon.

“Oh good thinking.” Sarah thought. Opening the door just a tiny bit she saw Jon standing there looking back at her. “Yeah who is it?”

“It’s Jon and Richie. Is everything ok with you two?’ He asked curiously.

“Just a, just a second. (turning around) he wants to know if everything is ok?” Karen shooked her head and told her that everything was fine. Turning back to him, “Yup everything is A OK. How’s it with you guys?” she asked him trying to stay righted.

Jon turned his head to Richie and mouthed to him ‘They’re loaded’ then turned back and said, “Well we’re fine too. Can we come in or are you going to keep us out here in the hall?” he asked her smiling.

She put up her hand and just gave him the signal with one finger and winked at him. Looking at Karen she asked her if it was ok to invite them in which she told her sure why not. The more the Merrier she said. Jon and Richie could hear them and they were trying very hard not to laugh.

Opening the door wider now Sarah invited them into the room. As they walked in they saw that Karen was still holding the empty wine bottle.

Richie asked, “What’s with the bottle?”

“Oh we thought you were the Principle so we had to defend ourselves.” Karen told them weaving back and forth.

Looking at each other and shaking their heads, Jon asked, “The Principle? Is that something kinky?”

“God no it’s because Sarah can’t lie and I can and he may come after us if he knows so shhh.” Karen told them.

“Ok well tell you what why don’t you give me that (as Jon took the empty bottle) and if he does show up Richie and I will take care of him ok?” Jon told them as he put the empty bottle down on one of the tables.

“Oh Jon that is just so sweet of you Thank You.” Sarah told him as she went up to him and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

“Oh please don’t make me vomit.” Karen told them making a gagging sound and then laughing her head off again but this time she couldn’t seem to stop.

Sarah just looked at her and then she started also.

Richie walked up to Jon and was smiling. “Well when you thought you were married you had it made. Now that you’re not you’re going to have to work for it like me. So which one do you want? Sarah or Karen?” he asked Jon.

“Well even thou I was married to Sarah I really think she feels more comfortable with you. What do you think? Because I think you like her too or am I wrong?” Jon asked his best friend.

Trying not to blush, “I thought I was hiding it better.” He said to Jon.

“Nope remember I know you Rich just like you know me. So here’s your chance if you want a chance with her now’s the time.” He told him.

“Thanks’ man I really would.” He said happily. “But I didn’t think you were into Karen especially after she balled you out earlier what gives?” he wanted to know.

“To be truthful I have no idea what’s so ever.” He said as he looked the red head over.
