Chapter 155

Monica and Jon were able to plan and enjoy the wedding that they both had wanted.  They shared their day with loved ones, friends and colleagues.  Their vow renewal was all that they had hoped for, and even more.  The bride was breathtaking in her gown.  The groom was sexy in his tuxedo with long hair. 

The small honeymoon that they took wasn't anything extravagant or expensive, it was just enough time for them to be alone and morph into the married couple that they are.  When they decided to go to Nashville they weren't 100% sold on the idea, but over all they were glad that they went there.  It put them both in a place that they had never been to before.  Physically and mentally.  Nashville has an energy all its own.  Nights when they would retreat to their hotel room Jon found lyric writing to be incredibly easy, pulling things from the city's energy and his own experience being in country town USA with his wife.

Monica and Jon returned to their room after a late dinner and a walk.  Jon tosses the room key on the dresser and asks, "What time do you want to leave in the morning?"

"Not too early."  Monica replies, kicking off her cowboy boots; flinging one across the room.  "We have two days to get home, let's take our time."

"That's fine by me."  Jon plops down next to her on the bed.  "I wouldn't mind staying longer."  He admits, but he knows they must return to Jersey, there are big things happening in their near future - they get exhausted just talking about them.

"Ya know,"  Monica starts her sentence and stops.  She smiles.  "With the song doing so good on the charts, you're going to have to start doing TV interviews."  She knows how little Jon likes to do that, so she pokes fun at him, "MTV will definitely want a sit down."

"They already called.  Mom said she would set something up when we get back."

"Album is being released tomorrow." she states as a matter of fact, with a grin, "And you'll be nowhere around."  She finds satisfaction in that little detail.  "How do you feel about that?"

Jon rolls his head and looks at her, "It's cool, but it's not our first.  I'm not bothered that we won't be there.  We didn't have anything big planned."

"I'm surprised the label has nothing planned."

"I'm not.  They weren't loving the direction we went with this one.  That's why Bad Medicine is the first to be released."

"I like that song."  She cheeses him. 

He rolls his eyes at her, "It's okay.  That album took a turn that I don't think that we were ready for, but I guess we'll see."  He rolls on his side.  His arm and leg wrap around her and he pulls her close.  "It's the last night of our honeymoon, what do you want to do?"  His kisses start as playful but the deep passion quickly tops the surface.
