Chapter 16
Jon turned the corner to the girls room only to find Richie pacing, deep in thought .
"Hey Bro, didn't have to wait for me " Jon said as he joined him
Richie had been standing there a good 5 minutes already. His mind going back and forth wondering, should they even continue with this bet? All week long in close contact was sure to be his undoing. "Hey Jonny, I just thought give them an extra couple minutes of sleep, they're gonna need it " He smirked a bit not knowing Jon was having the same reservation as he was about this whole thing now, after last night
Jon knocked reassuring himself it would be alright. A bet is a bet. All he had to do was keep Beth busy and he shouldn't have a problem.
As they stood waiting for one of them to answer the door Richie was lost in thought again. He felt so bad yelling at his Lizzie. But --where in the hell did she learn to do--that
Might as well forget it now , Sambora it would be a cold day in hell before she confided in you now ,after the way you treated her
When no one anwered , Jon turned the knob and walked in with Richie following him.
Not smart girls. You really should keep it locked, especially with horn dogs like me around Jon thought shaking his head.
The curtains were closed to block out the early morning sunlight and both girls were sound asleep. Beth was all tangled in her sheet. lying on her side giving him a nice shot of her nice firm ass peaking out from her barely there shorts.
Good God! Even sleeping she is hot as hell. Jon groaned under his breath.
Richie stood to the side of Lizzie's bed watching her sleep. she was curled into a ball, hugging a pillow to her. That thick unruly hair he ached to run his hands thru was half hiding her face. She had a slight smile on her face an indication she was having a nice dream. He wondered what she was dreaming
Both Guys stood there for a moment watching them sleep. They looked so peaceful neither man wanted to disturb them. But--the day was beginning and it was time to get to work.
"Lizzie-- Hey, Lizzie girl" Rich called softly and sat on the edge of her bed, brushing her hair away from her face.
She stirred a bit and stretched slowly blinking her eyes a few times before opening them completely. As her vision cleared she saw him there. He looked tired, as if he hadn't slept much if at all. His clothes were a bit rumpled like he'd just rolled out of bed after tossing and turning all night, And his expression was blank, unreadable.
She was still stinging from his rebuff the night before and she was gonna let him know.
Lizzie sat up and looked at him then said quite grumpily "Damn, Rich you look like shit" as she got up out of bed and started grabbing some old clothes to wear.
He opened his mouth to say something then paused when he heard her tone and snapped it shut, not used to hearing venom in her tone he was at a loss a to how to proceed.
He glanced at Jon for a moment, looking for help. Jon hesitated then shrugged. He too had never really seen Lizzie quite that cranky.
"Sorry, you're on your own man."
He turned his attention back to Beth. She stirred a bit in her sleep and he leaned down.
"Bethy , sweetheart wake up time to go to work " He whispered in her ear fighting the urge to kiss her neck.
She rolled over on her back her tank strap had fallen off her shoulder exposing a bit of her breast. Jon groaned but kept his mind on the task at hand.
"C'mon Bethy "
She opened her eyes and at first thought she was dreaming when she saw him kneeling so close to her, flashing that smile she loved so much.
"Mornin sunshine. Time for work "
She grumbled a bit and sat up rubbing her eyes. "What time is it?"
"7am" He said with a cocky grin.
She groaned "damn you " but with a smirk.
Beth was not a morning person, which made him chuckle for he was the opposite. It seemed to be the only thing they didn't have in common.
"You lost the bet. Now its time to pay up" he replied a bit amused
"Yea Yea I know . Let me shower at least!." she growled rising from the bed "So what you got in mind for this week besides being slavedrivers?"
He grinned " You know us so well don'cha? Have to wait and see. C'mon scoot "
As she passed by him he swatted her ass. Anything to touch her damn fine ass he smirked to himself.
She feigned anger but her eyes shown different when she hollered "Owwwww! watch those hands Jerseyboy! " she grabbed some old jeans and a tank and headed to the bathroom and shut the door
Beth took a bit of a longer shower than she should have but her mind raced to the man sitting out on her bed again. He had been close enough to kiss her when she opened her eyes and she could swear there was lust radiating from his baby blues.
But just as she started to ponder what that might mean , she was jarred back to reality with hard pounding on the door and Lizzie's irritated tone calling out to her
"Bethany hurry up will ya"
She never called her that. Only when she was pissed at something. Did Richie do something? she wondered as she hollered back "alright I am about done "
Beth stepped out drying herself off, threw on her jeans, tank and towel dried her hair. There was no use in doing anything with it today it was going to be a long sweaty day so she threw on her baseball cap and opened up the door.
"'Bout time " Lizzie grumbled as she pushed past her causing Beth to turn and stare at her for a moment
"What!!! " Lizzie snapped her eyes flashing defiantly
"Nothin' " Beth shrugged and walked back to where Jon and Richie were waiting.
"Damn , whatcha do Sambora? She is so not our Lizzie girl today? " Jon questioned.
Rich shrugged looking away for a few moments before finally replying "Maybe I should wait downstairs. Jon, can you tell her what to do for me" He turned and walked out the door .
Beth watched Richie leave shocked " Now what was that all about ? "
"I have no idea babe " he shook his head and sat on the bed to wait for Liz.
They didn't have long to wait. Liz was in speed mode this morning. She had taken a quick run through the shower, pulled her mass of hair up in a high ponytail and donned a pair of sweats and a tank. She emerged from the bathroom, hands on hips and said " So are we ready?"
Jon raised an eyebrow at Beth who merely shrugged in confusion and said " Sure, c'mon girls"
He put his arm on Beth's back and guided her out the door. Lizzie following a few step behind them
