Chapter Twelve

With a heavy heart and much confusion I left Dot in the bedroom and made my way back down stairs, I headed into the den and sat behind the desk, my mind even more confused with the added bomb shell from Dot.

I had to prove to dot I was telling the truth, I could not believe she had held onto the letter for all that time and never mentioned it to me.

Why? had she believed it when the letter arrived?, or did she think of it as crap and that's why she never mentioned it until now?, I pulled the letter out of my pocket, it was dated 29th May 2005, she had the letter six months ago, and why had this Kim person waited over a year to send the letter? jeez my head was hurting trying to come up with the answers.

 

 I checked the time, 6.45am, our flight was at ten, and I still had to get back to the hotel and finish my packing for the next leg of the tour. That was what I had to focus on right now, when I met with my lawyer in Cleveland later I would get his take on this whole situation, for my own sanity I needed the distraction of my job.

 

Picking up the phone I rang for a cab, then hanging up I sat thinking, I didn't want to, but my thoughts wandered to the now two women in question, and the fights I had to deal with, I had to ask, why me?

 

Hearing the cab pulling onto the drive I left the house quietly, as he came to a halt I got in the cab and gave him the instructions of where to go, then I sat back quiet in thought as he drove me back to the hotel, paying the fare with tip  I made my way back into the hotel and back up to my room.

 

Within the safety of my room, I thought the solace would be a comfort but the silence was deafening, I ached for company.

I considered calling Rich but he had fallen into his bed only a couple hours before, the rest of the band would have joined me happily but not without a barrage of question's, I decided for now, the Tv would have to do.

 

Searching out the remote I clicked the set on, while hitting the switch on the coffee pot, then making my way out back to pack ready to leave for the airport.

 

My body was tired and ached from lack of sleep and exhaustion, talking to myself I made a note to sleep on the flight, using my cell I called matt and told him to make sure my sleeping quarters were made up for me when I got on board, he asked no questions and accepted my request and would make sure it was done.

 

Then carrying on I collected the rest of my clothes out of the closet and from the dresser to pack, I laid fresh jeans and t out ready to wear after my shower, when I was interupted by a knock at the door.

 

"Mr Bon Jovi sir?"

Walking back through to the sitting area I opened the door to be met by the hotel manager. He smiled nervously,

"good morning sir, I am sorry to disturb you so early but there is a reporter at the front desk asking for you, he said it was urgent?" 

 

God damn it, the bitch must have done what she said, well the last thing I was going to do was talk to a reporter,

"thanks Er?"

"Andrew lever, I'm the manager of the hotel"
He said his name and position with pride,

"right, yeah erm Andrew, please just tell the reporter I'm not doing any interviews right now."

"thank you sir I will tend to it for you, sorry again to disturb you" I watched as he left and waited for the elevator to return him to the front desk.

 

Closing the door to my room for the first time I looked at the TV, "Breaking news, "Jon Bon Jovi, has a secret love child and affair with two women, this and more coming up after the break."
