Chapter 70

 

It was the end of January, a family dinner, Jon and Colleen had finally decided on a date. Jon’s parents were invited to the dinner, but the weather didn’t suit Carol Bongiovi, but what was new, John Sr. was coming.  Her parents were here, with Jamie and his family. Of course, the kids were there along with the band.

 

Jon was out with his brothers and soon-to-be brother-in-law, watching over the coals. Mr. B. and her dad were out near the river smacking golf balls in the water to see who could chip it the farthest, Tico was the judge. The kids were tooling around in the Camo mobile, begging to be sent to the store for last-minute items.

 

Colleen, her mom, and her sisters-in-law were in the family room looking at artist rendering of the dresses she had on her shortlist. Jon had looked at them the other night, he told her he liked them all, but she noticed he looked long at the sexy painted-on dress.  “Whoa,” was all he said before she snatched the drawings out of his hand.

 

“So Jon likes this one,” Colleen told them.  “But I think it’s just not me.” She showed them.  “I just think it’s too sexy.”

 

“Oh I think it would look beautiful on you, but we’ll go to the city now that your threat is over,” Nina said.

 

“I guess so, they said it was all over, but it doesn’t feel over.  Yes Darrius and Reggie are dead, but I just don’t feel so safe,” Colleen shuffled the photos.

 

“Matt and Albert can go with us, then would you feel safe?” Desi asked her.

 

“We’ll all be there with you,” Stephanie told her.  “Your mom and us.”

 

Colleen looked at her soon-to-be daughter her with excited eyes.

 

“It’ll have to be off the rack,” Colleen finally gave in.

 

Jon and the guys heard the squealing out at the grill.

 

“That sound like a lot of money being spent,” Matt laughed.

 

“Ya think Bro, It’ll be a first,” Jon said as he loaded the burgers and dogs on the platter to take into the kitchen.

 

They all headed toward the kitchen where they saw the kitchen island loaded with buns, fixings, five different salads with Bags of chips piled on the end of the bar.  There was wine, soda, and beer in the fridge.  This was going to be a big celebration.

 

People were all over the family room and the kitchen.  Jon sat at the kitchen table watching Colleen with all his friends and family.  She fit right in, the only sour spot was his mother refused to show up. His dad talked about a separation, but he always says it but never does it.

 

Once everyone was done eating, Jon told them to come into the family room, he had news for them.

 

Jon stood in front of the fireplace, he smiled as all the kids walked in and sat on the floor.  When Colleen came in she moved to stand with him.

 

“Colleen and I want to thank you all for joining us today and tonight, family is very Important to Colleen and me,” Jon pulled Colleen closer and kissed her cheek.  “We want you to know, we’ve finally set a date for the wedding.”

 

Colleen smiled, “Now that all the problems have been taken care of,” she took a deep breath.  “So save the date for Thursday February 25.”

 

The gasp and cheers came over the room, as everyone jumped up to hug Colleen and slap Jon one the back.

 

It was a long time before everyone headed home or out to the Inn. Colleen made sure the kids were all settled down in their rooms.  She came into the bedroom and the lights were low, candlelight low, which meant someone was in a romantic mood.  With a small smile on her lips, she moved to the closet and pulled out one of the gifts that she was saving for a special night.  It was a soft candlelight teddy and a lace thong panty, Jon had bought it when they were shopping for Christmas.  Jon was in the bed reading and looked up as she headed to the bathroom.  He gave her a little smile and a wink when she looked back at the doorway.

 

Colleen took her time stripping off her clothes, she got Alexa to play the Fifty Shades soundtrack, thinking Jon would take the hint.  She decided to fill the tub and take a bath for a change, pouring bubble bath into the water, she took a deep breath of the Apple and Spice bubble bath that the kids gave her for Christmas. She was stepping into the tub when she heard the door open.

“Took you long enough,” she looked over her shoulder.

 

“The music sent out an invitation, and since I didn’t hear the shower running, I figured this wasn’t going to be a quick in and out,” Jon said as he slipped out of his boxers and walked up behind her. Kissing her shoulder he helped her into the tub. “Behind or in front?”

 

“Boyfriends choice,” Colleen looked up at him and smiled.

 

“Fiancé choice, we set the date,” he had her move up so he could slip behind. “Remember?”

 

Holding up her left hand and showing him the ring he put on her left-hand last month.

 

“I remember.”  She leaned back on his chest. He soaped her back and slipped his hands along her sides.  “You know if our luck hasn’t changed, one of the kids will bust in on us.” Colleen giggled as his hand cupped her breast.

 

They both held their breath as they looked over at the half-closed bathroom door.

 

Colleen looked back at Jon and started to giggle.

 

Jon laughed and slid his right hand to her v of her thighs, and watched her stop giggling and her eye slowly closed as her head fell back.

 

“Colleen,” came her mother’s voice from the bedroom.

 

“Oh shit,” Colleen moaned and popped up to her feet splashing water on the floor.

 

“Oh hell, Cocked blocked by my mother-in-law,” Jon groaned and covered the family jewels that showed in the lowered water.

 

“Just a minuet mom, I was in the tub,” grabbing her towel and drying off enough to put on her robe.

 

Maggie opened the door and peeked in.  “Have you talked to the Father about holding the wedding at the church?  Oh hi Jon,” Maggie looked from Jon to Colleen and back again.  “Oh my, I’m sorry you two, we can talk tomorrow.”  She quickly turned a beet red and left the bathroom shutting the door and they heard her leaving the bedroom.

 

“Don’t, Jonny. Just. Don’t,” Colleen told him as she doubled over holding in her laugh.

 

“Karma, pure Karma,” was all he said as he stood up and grabbed a towel, and got out of the now cold bathwater. “If it’s not the kids, it's adults cock blocking me.”

 

“We are getting a new lock on the door that will warn us who’s trying to come in,” Colleen told him as she watched him dry off and head to the bedroom.  Putting the sexy underwear in the basket for later, she headed to the bedroom, and tossed her robe on her chair, and crawled onto her side of the bed.  “Sort of killed the mood, sorry Jonny.”

 

Jon scooted to the middle of the bed and reached over to pull her to his arms.  Kissing her deeply. “Never say sorry to me, I think we can resurrect the mood unless you don’t want to.”

 

Colleen snuggled to his chest, her hand running through the fur on his chest, her fingers finding the treasure trail along his stomach.  She felt him responding to her fingers as he deepened the kiss.

 

“Fiancé choice again?” he whispered, as her small hand found the treasure at the end of the trail and closed over it.

 

“Fiancé choice,” she gave his dick a little squeeze.
