Chapter 7 Dinner in Connecticut



Hi: It's a long chapter to make up for the delay of posting. I hope you enjoy it. Comments as usual are welcome.  - Teri

Chapter 7

Teri went back into the theatre after her conversation with Richie. She pulled Al aside and laid it on the line for him.  They walked to the back of the house and took a couple of seats. Away from the chaos but, close enough if needed.

“I got a huge problem, Al.”

Without taking his eyes off the stage, he answered.

“Yup. If those damn dancers don’t move fast enough, they’ll get whacked in the head by the second Audrey as she grows.”

“HA! Wish it were that easy to fix. I have a dinner thing Wednesday night, and a tech rehearsal here. What the hell am I gonna do? I need to be at both at the same time.”

“Well, technically, it’s a tech rehearsal right?”

“Yup.”

“So, it’s my rehearsal. I called tech in at noon, to see if we can iron some stuff out. Just flip it. Full tech at noon, and then you can blow outta here by three or in your case, four, or five. Then get ready for your date with Richie. I’ll keep tech crew, and we will run cue to cue at night instead. If people have to work, and can’t stay they are of course, excused as it’s a last minute schedule change. I know most of the cast took the next few days off from their day gig to be here for tech, and to take the next as a full day off from life. They will stay.”

“Oh. That’s a great idea! I lo…” Teri’s sentence died. “How did you know about Richie?”

Al grinned.

“I have ears Ter. Just cuz I’m male, doesn’t mean I’m immune to girl talk, gossip shit. I heard ya talking to Richie about the date when I went to look for you. Easy enough to put two and two together.”

Teri grinned, and sunk further in her seat. She put her legs over the row in front of her, and relaxed. As much as she hated to be away for the cue-to-cue tech part of the show, it DID belong to the stage manager.


Things worked out great all around. As usual, Susan showed up at Teri’s Wednesday morning. She does every morning of hell week so the girls can get their game plan set.

 Susan wakes up Teri with the smell of coffee that she either brought with her, or made in Teri’s kitchen. By the time, she hit Teri’s bedroom the smell had her director waking up.

On this particular day however, it seemed that the first task was to find something for Teri to wear for her date with Richie. Susan discovered her in the closet. As she looked at all her clothes, she dismissed each piece as she came across it on their hanger.  There was stuff all over the bed, discarded shoes on the floor, and Teri in her panties, and an oversized t-shirt hair rumpled from sleep and a frustrated look on her face.

“Here take this.” She said to Susan without a hello.

Susan juggled the two coffees she held, and grabbed a bunch of hangers from Teri

“These are the possible pile of tops. I got the jeans but, can’t decide on shoes until we figure out a top, and accessories.”

After a frustrating twenty minutes of trying on tops, Teri gave up.

“Fuck it, let’s go shopping. I don’t like anything. I’m gonna hit the shower. Ready to roll in like half an hour. We got a busy morning, and I can’t take too much time but, damn it, I gotta look good tonight.”

True to her word, they were in the car in half an hour, and on their way to a couple of Teri’s favorite stores. Susan drove so Teri could hopefully make a few calls and relax a bit.

The first store was a disaster. Nothing was good enough. The second store was better, but still no luck. Teri finally looked around the mall and headed toward Nordstrom.

“Come on, let’s hit one more store. Then we gotta roll. Rehearsal’s called for noon due to my date tonight. I can’t be late.”

Susan fully agreed. They took off toward Nordstrom. With a silent prayer from both they entered.

“BINGO! This is the one!”

Teri wasn’t ten feet into the store, when she saw her top on a mannequin. Of course, none were
 in her size, but she talked the sales woman into selling her the one on display. It was perfect. This is an amazing Caribbean blue; it’ll make my eyes pop! A tank top, with very thin straps. Hmmmm I can pair it with a pair of my light colored jeans. Oh, and those damn cork sandals Glor made me buy that I never wore this season.  Yup, sandals in the fall.  I just can’t tell her she was right… again. She thought as the outfit began to take shape in her mind. It was perfect. A jean jacket, or, her thin leather jacket to dress it down and she was ready to go.

Cue to cue tech rehearsals are boring at best. The cast stands in their spot on stage. The director, lighting director, costume, props, and stage manager all analyze the stage and move to the next cue It’s the tweaking with the department heads that takes a lot of time. By 2 p.m. they were pretty much done. The cast was told to relax and leave for a few hours. The band was dismissed for the night.  The rest stayed and sat around a table on stage with lunch and notes to discuss what did and didn’t work.  An email on the changes is sent to cast and band just like most director’s notes.

Teri was so engrossed in the process she never saw the time. By union rules, they had to have breaks at specific intervals. Al called dinner. Teri looked up from her notes that she was going over with the house manager, and realized she waited too long. It was going on 6 o’clock. She had no one to blame but herself. Susan left half an hour ago to run some errands, and wasn’t expected back for the rest of the night.

“Fuck! Gotta fly everyone. Al, I’m turning over rehearsal to you. I’ll see very one tomorrow. Enjoy yourselves.”

Teri ran out of the theatre, hopped into her car and was on her way home with minutes to spare. She had to stop and say hello to Cheryl who was hanging out at Teri’s little slice of beach. She was one of the neighborhood kids Teri knew. She liked Cheryl; but now wasn’t the time to have to entertain her.

Cheryl followed Teri into the house.

“Ter, when are you going to be around? Debbie and I want to come over. “

“Sorry honey, you know what it’s like when I am in production for a show. Opening night is coming up fast.”

“What are you doing tonight?” Cheryl asked.

She followed Teri upstairs, sat on her bed as Teri went into the closet, and got the outfit that she and Susan put together. Thank God, Susan was able to get back to the house, hang up my new purchase, and put away all their rejected clothes and shoes, Teri thought. No wrinkles. She wondered if Susan ironed it too…. Nah, even the best of PC’s won’t iron even with being asked. Teri chuckled to herself over that as she started toward the shower.

“I have a date tonight.”

“TONIGHT? You never date during this week.”

Teri turned to her young friend.

“He’s kinda special. I know you know who Bon Jovi is. I play their stuff enough around the house. I have a date with Richie Sambora.”

“OH, he’s sooo cute! I love him. Will he talk to me too? Can I come with you? I promise to behave. I want to date Richie too! Where did you meet him? You never told me.”

Teri smiled. She happened to glance at the bedside clock.

“If you go downstairs and let him in, you can meet him now. I haven’t told you cuz I’m in hell week, and haven’t even seen you since I got back from New York. I won’t be long. Tell him that I ran late and to make himself at home,” Teri said.

“Sure Ter, I’ll let Richie in.”

She ran downstairs as Teri hit her en-suite for a quick shower.

Cheryl was so excited to see and meet Richie. She decided to sit outside on the front steps and wait for him. She expected to see a black stretch limo and driver dressed in black with a hat. Cheryl’s mom always teased her that she got her imagination from Teri.

A car pulled up and into the driveway. It was a black 1997 BMW convertible. Richie stepped out of the driver side and rounded the front of the car. He didn’t notice Cheryl until he was almost to the stairs. She jumped up.

“Richie, Richie. Hi, I’m Cheryl come on in. Teri’s in the shower she ran late at rehearsal. Not like that’s unusual.  She’s always the last one to leave. My mom said it’s her second home. But, I don’t believe that.”

She chattered nonstop as she opened the front door and let Richie into the house.

Richie took off his sunglasses and looked at the child in front of him. She couldn’t have been more than seven years old. Damn, David was right! They are getting younger. The fans now span generations.  He followed Cheryl into the house.

Cheryl made sure Richie was comfortable in the living room and gave him a soda to drink.

“So, you’re going out with Teri, how cool. She’s so excited. She is up in her room now dressing.”

“You’re friends with Teri?”

“Oh yeah, for years.”

Richie smiled at the child for her “years” comment.

“Teri always lets me come over when she’s not busy with her work stuff. She says I distract her too much. We laugh a lot. And, we go shopping, even for boring stuff like food. And, we go to the beach, but her beach is really small, so, sometimes we go to Watch Hill, cuz Teri says those are real waves, not the small stuff we got here. And, we even went to Florida last year together. Mom and Dad wanted to go, and so did Teri, so we all went together, it was a blast! We swam and body surfed in the ocean, and went shopping, and we all flew to Grand Bahamas where Teri says the best Dolphin stuff was. We stayed overnight right across the street. It was so cool. We got to swim with them in their lagoon. Teri knows them, the people who run it. Not the dolphins. But, she does know them too. So, we got to go early, and stay late, and a boat took us over, and there is one dolphin which Teri always swims with her name is Ruballa and…”

“And, I’m sure Richie has heard enough of your chatter child. I heard you all the way up stairs talking a mile a minute. “

“But, I wanted to tell Richie about your bikini…”

“Oh, please continue.” Richie said with a wink at Teri.

He got up when Ter came in, and went over to give her a hug and kiss hello.

Cheryl watched her eyes wide at their kiss.

Richie handed her a bouquet of roses, which he picked up on his way in. Teri buried her face in the flowers and inhaled deep.

“Thank you so much. They are beautiful. I’ll just take a second to put them in water and we can go.”

Richie said, “We should go. My PA told Frank we’d be in around 7.”

“Considering it’s 7:15, yeah, I would say let’s go.” Teri replied.

Cheryl dragged her feet, but left with them, and watched Teri lock the front door.

“Well, I guess I’ll see ya tomorrow.”

“Probably not, Cheryl, remember its hell week.”

Chery nodded. She watched them walk to the car. Richie opened Teri’s door, and helped her in, then walked around the front to the driver side.  He gave Cheryl a wave.

Happy, she waved back and watched them drive away. When she went home for dinner, Cheryl told her parents all about meeting Richie. They were extremely happy for her, and impressed. Teri deserved a little fun in her life.

Richie and Teri drove to the restaurant. Teri gave directions and Richie drove the very luxurious car.
When they arrived, the couple made their way through the crowd who were waiting in line at the popular restaurant. Richie posed for pictures and signed some autographs. He was genuinely glad to do this, so Teri stepped to the side and watched with a smile on her face. Richie Sambora…. Dinner…. Him and me… Life is good.

Once inside, the hostess immediately sat them at Frank’s reserved table in the back.

“If you want, when you are ready to leave, we can get you out the back door. I’ll have someone bring your car around for you.”

“No worries. I don’t mind a few fans. Let’s see how it goes.” Richie replied.

He knew that word would get out quick. Many people will think that Jon was with him too. They usually do.

At that moment, Frank Pepe descended on their table.  Richie stood and hugged the older man. He then introduced him to his date.

“Frank, this is Teri.”

Frank leaned over and gave Teri a kiss on the cheek.

“She looks familiar. You’ve been here before, right?”

“Many times,” Teri said with a smile. “Normally take out though. The wait here is always super long.”

“No more. Now, you call Frank, and get a table. Anytime.  A friend of Richie Sambora’s is a friend of mine.”

Teri smiled and thanked Frank for his kindness.

“Now, I bring you antipasto, and some bread. I keep the good wine for my friends. You will enjoy that too.”

Before either could say a word, Frank was on his way back to the kitchen and the wood stove ovens that were signature to some amazing pizza.

“Pays to know people in high places,” Teri said as the wine was placed in front of them. “No more wait at Pepe’s! My friends are going to think I’m royalty or somethin’...”

Their dinner progressed nice and easy. They talked and laughed their way through the meal.  Frank had stopped by again and insisted on picking up their tab. After a few pictures taken with the two and Frank, they were free to go. Richie left a very generous tip, and they couple walked out the front door to their car. Teri suspected the large tip was done on purpose, as Frank picked up the meal, it was the least Richie could do as a thank you to sign a few autographs for staff and patrons waiting outside for a table.

Back at the house, Teri and Richie made themselves comfortable on the couch.  Teri talked about her show and Richie about the album and tour they had coming up. After a while Teri got them a snack and a glass of wine each.

“It may not be as good as Franks but I like it,” she said as she put the glass in front of Richie.

When they started to kiss more than talk Teri suggested it was bedtime. She got up turned off the lights and put their glasses and snack plates in the dishwasher. When she got back to the family room Richie had turned off the stereo and was waiting. Teri grabbed his hand and they climbed the stairs to bed.

Chapter 6



Let's make a date


Not sure, of restaurants in Teri’s area, outside of the famous Wooster Street Pizza place Pepe’s. Richie had his assistant Deni make a call; she got them a private table. Frank Pepe always had a private table at the ready. The establishment was used to famous people, who, stopped in for a slice or two. From President’s, to Rock Stars they all ended up at Pepe’s private table at some point. Hell, Frank, and Dean ate there. In Richie’s mind, that was the highest praise. Casual it is. There is enough time for nice dinners, and all that hearts and flowers crap. This is a first date. I may not even like her outside of a great lay.  Richie decided.

Teri had tried a few times to reach Richie through the day. She finally left a message for him to call when he was free, and she would try to be available. Susan, Teri’s Production Coordinator took Teri’s phone and kept it with her so this important call wouldn’t be missed. Teri being Teri would most likely, put the cell down, as she does her walkie-talkie. Lose it, and miss Richie’s call.  Teri added Wanted as Richie’s ring tone. It had them both humming the Bon Jovi song all day.

When it DID ring, it was of course, the most inopportune time. Susan had decided on a coffee run, word got out among the crew. She was picking up coffee for fourteen people. All with different wants.
Muttering under her breath, as she waited at a nearby Starbucks. Macchiato, Frappuccino, double espresso, mocha latte… this bullshit gotta stop. Next time it’s Dunkin Donuts Box of Joe, or nothing. She planned to talk to Teri about it at their morning wake up Teri, meeting tomorrow. Susan started to hum.  Yikes, THAT’s another thing I’m  gonna tell Teri. Wanted is stuck in my head. I’m still singing… Crap it’s the phone not my singin’!  Susan dug for the phone in her pocketbook and actually got it in time.  
“Teri’s phone.”She warned. 

There was no way she was going to answer and have Richie say something, she really didn’t need to hear. As it was, Susan wondered if she could see if any other band member was single. They were all sexy bad boy rockers.

“Hey, she around? This is…”

Susan cut him off as she got her drinks and started to her car with her cell under her chin so she could carry the beverages.

“I know who it is. I’m at Starbucks, and you’re on speaker, cuz, I’m trying to juggle fourteen different fucking coffee concoctions, to my car. This is the last time I say out loud, I’m doing a coffee run. They’re like locust!”

“Want me to call back?” Richie asked as he grinned. The band was the same way.

“Nah, just give me a second. I parked in front hold…. FUCKIN’ A!”

Richie waited, he figured she probably dropped everything; He listened for the fourteen cups of coffee concoctions to hit the ground.

After a few moments, Susan was back on the phone.

“Sorry about that. I forgot to take my keys out of my pocket, had to put all this shit down on my car.”

“No drop?”

“No drop. I’m not Teri’s PC for nothing my friend.” She said in a smug tone.

Richie laughed aloud. He heard the car start and figured she was on her way back to the theatre. He would hang on. Richie wanted to know how things were going for Teri.

“She doing okay?”

“Actually, better than okay. Usually by now, she is a bear to live with. It always seemed nothing is good enough for her. It could be perfect but, she always pushes for the best performance we can give her.  For SOME reason, she is very happy today. Any idea why?” Susan asked. She knew the answer.

“No clue Suzie.”

Richie said, as he adopted a pet name for her. Susan hated the name Suzie, but for Richie Sambora to say it… It’s all more than good.

Susan made it back to the theatre in no time. She talked with Richie about this show a little bit. Susan filled him in on a few of Teri’s ideas. He was intrigued.

“Hang on; I gotta call for back up. No way in hell I’m gonna carry all this inside.” She put her phone on top of the coffee, and used the walkie-talkie to get some help. The words ‘I’m back with coffee!’ had people running to the stage door to give a hand. She grabbed her own coffee and Teri’s, then went to find her boss.

“Hey Ter, I got your coffee and your boyfriend.”

“Thanks for the coffee. I don’t have a boyfriend.” Teri replied as she took her caffeine from Susan’s hand.

“No problem Ter. I’ll just tell Richie I’m free to date him.”

Teri’s eyes got wide. A grin engulfed her whole face, as she put her hand out for the cell. Susan obliged and gave her the phone.

“Hey you! Sorry about that. I gave my cell to Susan, so I wouldn’t miss your call. I lose my walkie-talkie all the time. Didn’t want to misplace the cell too.”

Richie grinned at another little piece of information. Teri put’s stuff down and forgets where it is.

“No worries Darlin’. Suzie and I were just gettin’ better acquainted.”

“Suzie, huh?” Teri questioned a she looked at her PC with a raised eyebrow.

Susan shrugged.

“Your timing is great. I was just thinking about a break. Hang on,” Teri called out to the crowd. “Ten minutes everyone. Grab some water, a smoke, or whatever. Back on stage in ten.”

As she walked away from the stage, she heard Al her stage manager reiterate Teri’s break.

“You heard the lady, ten minutes and we are back. Enjoy your break.” He then grabbed his own coffee from the dwindling pile, and went to sit down, to relax for a bit.

Teri meandered outside through the lobby. She knew smokers would be by the stage door. She wanted a little privacy, and decided on the front of the theatre for a smoke, coffee, and Richie would work.
Richie got quick to the point, as, he knew his time was limited.

“Okay, since I only know of one place for dinner out in Connecticut. I got us a table for Wednesday night.”
Teri cringed a little. She usually gave the cast Friday off before Saturday opening night not Wednesday. She didn’t even think of it ‘till just now. She changed around some daytime meetings but never thought about tech rehearsal.

What the fuck am I going to do? I totally forgot about Wednesday rehearsal when I made plans with Richie… FUCK! Why didn’t I put that in my calendar? Cuz you always remember tech Wednesday dufus.

“It’s totally casual. I figured we could go there, and just hang out for dinner,” He continued not knowing Teri was in a dilemma. “Do you like Pizza? I got us a table at Pepe’s.”

Teri pulled the phone away from her ear and looked at it. First, date and its pizza? From a normal every day guy sure. But I thought …. Oh, forget it. Answer his question.

“Love Pepe’s. You got a table?”

“Yeah. Frank Pepe’s an old friend.”

“Aaahhh… Sounds good. It will be fun to go. I usually do take out. The wait for a table is regularly hours long. This will be a blast.”

They talked a few more minutes. Both knowing time was not on their side.

“Hey Richie?”

“Yeah?”

“Bring your toothbrush.” Teri simply stated.

Message received. He smiled his dimple smile into the phone.

“I will. See you soon Bright Eyes.”

It was Teri’s turn to smile into the phone.

“Yeah, see you then.” Her voice was husky.  

After they hung up, Teri took a sip of coffee, and looked over the small grassy area in front of the theatre. She stamped her feet like a little kid.

“YYYYIIIIEEEE!” She screamed.

She hugged herself, and swayed back and forth. With a smile as big as big could be.
I have a date with Richie Sambora!!

Chapter 5 - The Boys Are Back in Town



On the way home, the girls discussed their stay in the city. It was a great time for both of them.

Teri was listening but she really didn’t listen.

“Ter, you can come back to earth now.”

She grinned at her friend, and shook Teri’s leg a little.

“Sorry Glor. Still reliving last night.”

“I bet you are. And?”

Teri sighed. Then grinned at her friend.

“He was so much fun to be with. We laughed, teased, and talked. We had breakfast at this little hole in the wall that had the most amazing food. We stopped by Central Park on the way back to our hotel. Glor, we’re gonna see each other again. Playing it casual. Nothing serious. Richie said, he’s got a lot on his plate.  I’m not exactly twiddling my thumbs either.  As you know, we’re gonna have dinner Wednesday night.

“Do I get any more details?”

Teri smirked.

“Nope.”

“Nothing?”

She grinned at Gloria.

“The rumors are true. Moose is an accurate description. “

Both laughed… hard.

They spent the remainder of the trip talking about anything and everything. As best friends do. These two were no exception.

Once they got home. Teri spent the rest of the day on the phone, as she worked on her production. There were a zillion details, which she needed to address. Teri jumped right into it after she changed clothes and made something to eat. And, of course, a pot of coffee. By nine p.m., the director thought it was time for dinner, and some down time. She had to be in her office at the theater, early in the morning.  Teri had a full day of interviews, and meetings. These last few days before hell week were the worst, but the best. This is what Teri thrived on.

As she settled in front of the television with her dinner of Chinese take-out, she decided to watch something mindless. This just gave background noise; she let her thoughts go wherever they felt like. Which of course was to Richie.
                                         ***        ***        ***        ***        ***        ***
 “We done?” Richie asked of their producer, who was working preliminaries on the new album with him and Jon.

“Yup. We’re good. I’ll see you two tomorrow.” The three stood and made for the door

“Rich, feel like grabbing dinner?”

“Nah, thanks. I’m heading back to the hotel. See ya tomorrow.”

“Got a girl waiting?”

Jon didn’t know when THAT would have happened. Rich told him that he left his “date” at her hotel this morning. There was no time. He must have called someone during one of their breaks.  

Richie, just grinned at Jon, as he took off out the front door, and hailed a cab to his hotel. Once in his room, he poured himself a drink, ordered room service, and got comfortable. He picked up a nearby guitar, and mindlessly played as he waited on dinner. His thoughts were not on his guitar, but on the night before.  Dinner arrived, and, he made short work of eating. Richie poured a second drink, and picked up the phone to call Teri. As promised, Teri answered Richie’s call. She grinned when she answered, as she knew it had to be Richie.

“Hello?”

“Hey baby.” A sultry voiced Richie purred.

Fuck! If he growls, I am sure to have phone sex tonight. Teri thought with a smile.

“Hey yourself, hot stuff. How was the session tonight?”

“Good. We worked on laying tracks, so when the boys show up, it’s ready to go. A couple of more days and then the boys are back in town.

Teri laughed.

“It wasn’t that funny.” Richie stated.

The Boys are back, the boys are back in tooowwwnnn.  Boys are back in town,” Teri sang “That Thin Lizzy song from the late seventies. You know it right?”

Score another point for Teri. Richie thought. She knows her music.

He laughed aloud. Then, settled more comfortably on the couch. He was looking forward to their conversation.

They talked for over two hours. It was after midnight when Richie needed to get off the phone.

“Baby, I can talk to you for hours, But, I still have to call my kid, and get some stuff done.”

“No problem Richie. I need to do the same. Well, not call my kid, but I have early meetings, and some press tomorrow. I need to prepare for those and a rehearsal tomorrow night, Hell Week starts.”

“No problem baby. I’ll call again,” he was running the day through his head. “Maybe in the afternoon tomorrow.”

“Hmmmm… Let me call you. Tomorrow is going to be touch and go on my end.”

Richie agreed. His voice got low and sultry.

“I miss you not here in my bed tonight.”

“That’s it gotta go!” Teri exclaimed as she jumped off her couch.

“What?” Richie questioned.

Confused. In his mind, what he said was a GOOD thing.

“If we keep this up, I can see phone sex in our near future, and I’m kinda a more, do it for real type of gal.”

Richie grinned. She had spunk.

“Well, you could come out here. It’s not that far.”

“And be back for a 9 a.m. interview, composed, and not looking like I just left your bed? Not to mention, the two plus hour commuter rush hour drive? Sorry baby. Not tonight. Though, if you want to come here…”

Richie sighed.

“No can do Darlin’. I have to be at the studio tomorrow. Same issue on my end.”

They kept on talking for another forty-five minutes. During that time, Teri straightened up, and put her dishes in the dishwasher. Her housekeeper would be in the next morning. However, Teri liked to at least tidy up at the end of her day. Once upstairs, she sat on the bed and continued her conversation with Richie. Finally, sleep began to take over. She shook herself awake.

“Richie, I gotta go. Falling asleep on the phone with you would probably not make a very good impression.”

They both chuckled.

“Okay, baby. I’ll talk to you tomorrow. G’Night”

“G’Ni…” Teri never finished the sentence. She fell asleep.

Chapter 4






Chapter 4

After their shower, then re-shower, Teri dressed for her trip back to her own hotel suite. This is always the awkward part.  She thought. But, this time I never wanna say goodbye. I just experienced what sex should be like. Not what I’m used to for sure.  Richie was amazing, and not just as a sexual partner. He’s witty, charming, funny, and really listened to what I had to say last night. Perfection all rolled up into one amazing man. Richie Sambora.

“So…” She said as she glanced round for anything that could occupy her, as she waited for Richie to say something.  

“So…” Richie replied.

Not much, help there my friend. Teri screamed to herself.

“Well, I guess I should get back to Gloria.” Teri said. Though, she really wanted more time with Richie.
“I guess you should,” He mumbled without much enthusiasm, but added hesitantly. “Or, we can get breakfast and I’ll get you to the hotel after word.”

“Perfect!” Teri exclaimed.

 “How about this little hole-in-the wall place, that serves the best breakfast anywhere? I go there all the time. It’s small but great food.” Richie said he was glad their time wasn’t over just yet. The two left the suite and were on the way to breakfast. In the elevator, Teri grinned.

“Good to know your suite wasn’t mine.”

Richie grinned too.

“I’m almost afraid of what the retributions would have been if it was.” He said with a fake shudder. Richie toyed with his shirt buttons as a subtle hint of Teri’s animal lust that she couldn’t be held accountable for.
Breakfast was as good as Richie built it up to be. They ordered, and coffee was on their table with in seconds of sitting down. The staff knew Richie well.

After their meal, hey strolled toward The Plaza hotel at a leisurely pace. It was almost over.

“Ter, I had a great time.”

Teri gave him a look. As if to say, you should have. We had some mind-blowing sex last night.

He smirked.

“Not just the sex, which was fucking fantastic. I mean the whole thing. The piano bar, our singing, great conversation… What I’m saying is I’d like to see you again.” He gave her his famous dimple smile. It melted 
Teri’s heart the moment she saw it.

Teri grabbed Richie’s arm, to stop him from walking any further.  She motioned across the street to Central Park. He took her hand, as he made sure they got across the street and to the park safely. The two found a bench nearby, and sat.

“I’d love to see you again Richie, and not just for the sex. Which I may add, was more than amazing. I enjoyed last night. I too had fun singing with you and hanging out.
Richie nodded his head. He had thought about that at breakfast. There will be a way. There’s always a way.

“We’ll work it out Ter, I’m here a lot. Do you get to the West coast at all?”

“Actually, I do. I’m heading out for an awards-thingy next month. I also have a few pre-production meetings with the producer of my next show who’s based out there in L.A. He’s a big contributor to the theatre I work for, and, as such, I go to him. He pays extremely well and picks up all expenses for the trip.”
Richie grinned. There’s always a way if you look hard enough.

“Well, then, now that this is settled. How about dinner this week?”

Teri grinned.

“Sure, if you want to head out to Connecticut. I’m going into hell week for my show. We go up in about a week and a half. I bet my cell, is chock full of messages. Turned the sucker off, the minute I got into the back of the limo yesterday.”

“I’m between here and my Mom’s in Jersey this week. I can make it work. I want to hear all about your shows. It sounds like a great job.”

Teri put out her hand. Richie looked at it as she offered her hand. He wasn’t expecting a hand shake to seal the deal. Then, he shook her and smiled with his dimple grin. It was a cute gesture.
The two walked the rest of the way to The Plaza, and up to Teri’s suite. Glor had packed for both of them, as she wasn’t sure exactly when Teri would return.  She could tell the minute Teri and Richie entered things were good. Very good if you go by Teri’s smile, glow, and voice. Gloria couldn’t wait to get Teri alone in the limo for some girl talk.

The three sat in the living room and got to know each other a bit better.

Gloria said, “Jon was so great last night. When we got here, he actually looked through the entire suite to make sure everything was okay, and no one was lurking around a corner, or in the shower. Then, we sat around and, had one more drink before he left. He said he hopes to see us soon.”

“Oh, good,” Teri responded. “I was a little worried at the time but, when Jon said he’d make sure you got back here okay, I had a feeling things would be fine.”

 Both Teri and Richie looked at their schedules to figure out dinner in the next few days. After some thought and a few rearranged meetings, they both cleared up the following Wednesday.

Teri gave Richie a hug. He didn’t let go right away.

Chalk another point up in Richie’s favor. He loves to hug. Teri mentally said.

“Promise I’ll call you later tonight.” Richie said as they all stood to leave.

“Promise I’ll answer.” That got Teri a tweak on her nose from Richie.

Gloria gave them a few minutes by themselves to say good-bye, after she gave Richie a small hug.

“I’ll go wait for the bellman.” She said in parting.

After the bellman arrived and got everything on a couple of trolley carts it was time to go. Richie walked them downstairs and waited with Gloria as Teri settled the bill for their mini get-a-way.  They stood with all the girls’ things across the lobby from Teri who was at the front desk.

“So, you had a good time last night?” Gloria glanced at the front desk and saw Teri was occupied with the staff member. She couldn’t help herself from asking.

“Have a good time last night?”

 “Yeah.”

“Up late?”

“Yeah.”

“Not gonna to get anything from you, am I Richie?”

“Nope.”

There was a few moments of silence.

“Don’t hurt her.”

“I wouldn’t dream of it Gloria. I’m just going to see her again for dinner. I have a lot on my plate right now. It’s casual.”

“Just treat her right, and we’re cool. I gotta look out for my girl. She doesn’t need to be hurt. She’s a good person, and my best friend. I would be a bad best friend if I didn’t watch out for her. I got her back. 

Always.”

“Message received. Glor, I have no intention of hurting Teri. We’re just gonna see where this goes, if anywhere. For the moment, as I said it’s casual.”

Gloria nodded, and then changed the subject. The two of them were talking about the evening before when 

Teri returned.

“All set. Let’s roll.” Teri proclaimed. She was ready to go home.

Richie escorted the women to their limo, and supervised the luggage and all their purchases, as they were loaded into the trunk. It didn’t fit. The driver put the overflow of packages in the front passenger seat next to him then went to help his clients into the car. Richie tipped him, and then turned to the girls. The driver opened the door and waited for them.

“Gloria, it was a pleasure meeting you. Hope to see you soon.” Richie said as he kissed her cheek.

“I hope so too Richie. I had a great time last night, thank you.”

She got in the car to leave the two one last moment alone. Richie turned to Teri.

“Talk to you later Sunshine. I have your number and will call after my session in the studio tonight.”

“Sounds perfect Richie. I’ll look forward to it. Hope your session goes well.”

They kiss goodbye. It was a little more intense then Teri expected, but she wasn’t complaining at all.
The driver closed the door after Teri was seated and comfortable. As they pulled away, Teri looked out the back window and waved. Richie couldn’t see her because of the black out windows. He waved just the same as he watched their car move into traffic and off to Connecticut.

Chapter 3






Sambora Shower Sex

 “How ‘bout we get outta here?” Richie asked Teri.

She looked at him. She wanted him to mean it was just her he wanted to leave with. But, how to be sure?
“Sure.” She replied. Well, you can’t get any safer than that. She scolded herself.

 Richie got up and went to Jon, who was in the middle of a discussion with David, the piano player, and Gloria.

“Hey man, Teri and I are gonna take off. Talk to you tomorrow.”

Gloria looked over at her friend.

“Glor, you okay at the hotel by yourself?”

With a big smile on her face, Gloria replied. “Of course. No problem, I have my room key. See ya later.”
Teri thought a moment.

“Richie, I need to get Gloria back to the hotel. It’s not fair to leave her here in the middle of Manhattan when we came together to celebrate my birthday.

“I’ll get her back to the hotel. You guys go have fun.” Jon replied before anyone else could.

“You sure?” Teri asked. “Glor, you okay with that?”

Gloria hugged her friend. Quietly she said. “Go, have fun with Richie. I will expect details on the ride home.” 

Louder she said. “It’s all good. I’ll be fine. I’m sure I can trust Jon to escort me back to the hotel. Now go have a good time.”

Teri gave Gloria another hug. Then they were off.

“How about a drink?”

“Richie, can we make it coffee? I’ve had enough alcohol for a month.” She smiled when she said that.

 It was almost 1 a.m. and Richie really didn’t want to go to a coffee shop though the thought of coffee was appealing.

“How about we grab some coffee at my place? He asked. 

“Sounds good.”

He hailed a cab and gave the address for his hotel. 

Hearing the address, Teri said, “I love this hotel but, they didn’t have my favorite suite available so I had to go with my second choice. The Plaza.”  

“I always stay here when I am in the city. It’s my favorite. I love all their hotels especially the one in Kona, Hawaii.”

Teri sat back in the cab. They made small talk during the short drive and pulled up outside the Four Seasons Hotel in no time considering they were in Manhattan.

Richie, always the gentleman, placed his hand on the small of her back as he lead her into the hotel and over to the bank of elevators.

Once in the elevator Teri smiled.

“What are you thinking about?” Richie asked.

“If your hotel suite is my favorite one, I am gonna be really pissed off.” She grinned at Richie as he held the door open for her.

Richie chuckled. The elevator door opened as they reached his floor. He held his arm out to let Teri pass through before him. They proceeded to his suite. He unlocked the door and once again held it open for Teri.

 “Well, at least it’s not…” The sentence never finished.


Teri found a pair of lips that descended fast, her words muffled by Richie’s kiss.  

“Nice.” He said when they broke the kiss.

All pretense of anything short of animal lust dropped.

He let out a low growl when Teri started to suck on his Adam’s apple. She tasted her way down the side of his throat to his chest.

She was up against the wall; Richie had her pinned there with his leg between hers. He placed his hands on both sides of her head. He needed her NOW. Body and soul. There was no way he was going to let her go until he had it all. Totally had it.

Teri went to speak. He stopped her with a finger to her lips. The little vixen sucked on his finger like it was his cock. Oh shit, I’m gonna be a dead man tonight for sure.

He breathed in her scent. From her hair to her neckline. Richie nibbled his way around her throat to the 
trigger points as he memorized each one for future use.

“First, I’m gonna fuck you right here. Then we’ll move on to the hearts and flowers shit. I’m gonna take you hard, and fast. Later, there isn’t a chance in hell we won’t celebrate your birthday properly.”

His seductive growl brought a wicked gleam to Teri’s eyes as she ran her hands under Richie’s open button-down shirt, to his chest. She swirled his chest hair in her fingers. Teri got Richie’s attention as she nipped the side of his throat with her teeth. She looked into his dark brown eyes, and grabbed his shirt with enough force behind her in-shape arms, that she ripped the buttons off to gain access in one smooth motion. Teri had only seen that move in movies and didn’t realize it was something she could do. The animal lust that Richie had brought out of her was evident.

“I guess I should have told you, I have a thing for a guy in a button-down shirt, especially a white one. This shirt of yours will do just fine. I’m surprised I haven’t ripped the buttons off with my teeth. So, be forewarned I can’t be held accountable for my actions.”

Richie kissed Teri deep.

“Neither can I.” he breathed into her mouth.

“Well, what have we got here?Teri asked as she reached down between them and found Richie’s hard, very big cock. She began to manipulate him. She dropped to her knees and undid Richie’s pants, put her lips on the tip of his cock and kissed it. Richie started to shake. He wanted her to take him in her mouth. And, she did. Slowly… very fucking slowly.

Even though they just started, Richie felt like he was going to cum. Suddenly, Teri stopped. She gave him a couple of licks than raised her body to stand against the wall again. She was breathing heavy. He was breathing deep.

Richie moved her panties aside just before he slipped into her hot wet pot of gold. It felt so amazing. He looked down at her beautiful still encased breasts between them. As he started to thrust he watched them heave in response to his movement. It turned him on. Richie now had one thought and one thought only. Increase the pace.

As he did, the sweat began to form and drip from his chest onto her. Teri didn’t close her eyes. She watched every move Richie made. She wanted him to go faster, harder. She was so hot, wet, and needed release.
Richie couldn’t reach his orgasm fast enough.  She felt so fucking good. He began to give her all he had.

When they both were on the brink, he heard Teri begin to moan.

“Fuck, fuck, oh fuck me hard Richie. Now, do it now!”

She screamed his name as she came. Loud

It was all Richie needed. His thrusts were wild and erratic but, man does it feel great he thought.  He plowed into her so hard; it could have put her through the wall into the corridor. He didn’t care.

“Yeah baby. So, good. I’m cumminggggg!” He proclaimed.

Richie spent, leaned into Teri and the wall for support to keep them both upright. His legs felt like Jell-O. They were panting and gasping for air. Fucking fantastic!

Once they could breathe and walk Richie led her toward the bedroom.

Teri’s clothes left a trail, as Richie discarded them piece by piece.  She leaned in and rubbed her nipples against Richie’s chest as she pulled his shirt off. She threw the shirt on the floor. Richie had toed off his shoes along the way. He led Teri to the bed, and stood with her by his side, with his hands roaming and squeezing Teri’s firm ass. She wiggled her butt in pleasure.        
Then, he moved his hands up her body along her back. Richie looked down at the two matching breasts as his hands came around noting they fit perfectly. He enjoyed the weight of them for the smallest of moments before he lowered his mouth to suck on an already aroused nipple. He took his free hand and started to massage and squeeze her other breast.

After moaning with such pleasure, Teri leaned back. Richie climbed on the comfortable king sized bed. He lifted Teri up by the waist to get her on the bed, so that they could kiss again. Teri ran her hands on Richie’s hips as she pulled him closer to her. She moved her hands between their bodies. She grabbed his cock and started to reverently stroke him. Slowly going up and down his shaft with her small soft hands. Richie rolled over onto his back and Teri sat up to take him in her mouth. She licked the tip, gently at first then started to lick him like a lollypop, up and down, then swirling her tongue over his tip. She took him a little in her mouth as a tease and released him. She took him again, a little farther down her throat, and let him out along her tongue. She took her fingernails and lightly scratched his balls. This sent a shiver down Richie’s body. The anticipation was extreme. He wanted her now. Teri took him in her mouth one more time she started humming as he hit the back of her throat. That was a sensation Richie longed for.

  Teri got it without him even asking for it. Richie though in a semi-lucid moment.

When she released him, Richie was more than prepared to feel her legs wrap around his back, and her body envelope him in her hot folds.

He wound his fingers in the lace that Teri called panties and ripped them off in one tug. They fell to the bed quickly and easily between her legs. He guided her to lay down, and simply gazed at her body, taking in the beautiful sight before him. Teri didn’t move. She watched Richie look appreciatively at her naked form. She waited for what he would do next. It was quick in coming; he laid his head to rest between her legs, and blew a little puffs of air into her curly hair. Teri wiggled her bottom to get closer to his warm breath. With him on his elbows, his hands opening her thighs Teri shivered in anticipation. Richie was a breath away from her core. He stuck his tongue into her fold. It was all she could do not to scream out in pleasure.
The man was nonstop with his oral sex technique.

“Sweetie,” Teri said to him “I was past ready two orgasms ago. You have to catch up quick cause I really can’t move at all. Let me call my trainer and cancel all appointments’ for next week ‘cause you worked muscles I didn’t know I had.”

Teri flexed her fingers at him ‘cause he was too far away. Rich then slid up and they started to kiss again. Teri didn’t move her position.  Rich bent up on one arm and leaned into her for a kiss. A kiss that lasted forever. His other arm was over his lover’s body and on the other side of Teri.  They discovered they both love to kiss.

“You know baby. This is the most intimate thing two people can do.” Richie said as he went in for another taste.

It was sensual, sexual, commanding and everything in between. They kissed for at least ten minutes before both spent and exhausted from their sexual escapades fell asleep.

Later, after Richie fell asleep, Teri, who tried to sleep but, couldn’t due to the need to use the bathroom got up to take care of her necessity. She could not walk, and immediately fell to the ground. She had to crawl if she was going to make it.  

“God damn, mother fucking, son of a bitch!”
Now, if I thought this through I would have realized there was not a chance in hell I was going to be able to do this.  Teri admonished herself.

Luckily, Rich was awakened by Teri’s fall and subsequent string of swear words. A lot of which were directed at him, as she tried to claw her way to the bathroom. He got up to see what Teri was doing and found her on the floor.  When he discovered her, the first thing he did was scoop Teri up and carried her to bed. Richie placed her on the rumpled sheets.

 “What the fuck happened?”

 She lay prone not able to lift a finger. From this position, she told her tale.
“Well, my friend, after our very active sexual escapades I wasn’t able to move. I didn’t even think it would be an issue. I hopped out of bed to use the bathroom and well, what goes up must come down. In about two seconds, I hit the floor. Now, will you help me get to the bathroom before I pee all over this bed?”
Richie chuckled. He helped her to the bathroom. He waited outside the door, then carried her back to bed.

 “Hopped?” He questioned after she got comfortable.  “I know you couldn’t feel your feet. But, why? Richie pressed her for an answer.

Teri became annoyed because she didn’t want to admit she couldn’t walk.

“Who knows? They probably just fell asleep without me.” She dismissed the problem.

She started wiggling her fingers at him again.

“Come back to bed.”

“Well, now, I have to use the bathroom Darlin’." Rich said.
Do I have any condoms left? Richie wondered as he finished in the bathroom. Fuck, I think that was the last one. How the hell can I be out of condoms?  That’s unheard of! I wonder if I can call down to the front desk and have them open up the store and grab a couple of packages for me. Hmmmm that probably isn’t one of my better ideas he decided as he strode toward the bed.

When he came back, he reached for his wallet on the nightstand and practically threw everything out of it and onto the bed.

“What are you doing?”

“Darlin, if we are going to do it again, I have some really bad news.”

“Oh?”  She asked.
“Baby, we did it so many times, I ran out of condoms.”  

Teri tried hard to keep a straight face. Richie Fucking Sambora ran out of condoms. It didn’t work. Rich saw her scrunched up face as she tried not to laugh.

 “What the fuck is so funny?”

“Hand me my bag, please.” Teri requested.

 Richie had to hunt down her bag. He found it in the living room, under the coffee table, and brought it over to Teri. The whole time he was still wondering if he could get away with calling the front desk. Frustrated after three failed attempts to open her purse Teri, asked Richie to do it for her. Her hands were numb too just like the rest of her body after some amazing sex.

“Tip it over please.” She instructed.  

He opened it spilled the contents on the bed. He saw some cash, credit cards, cigarettes, and lo, and behold, a few condoms.  Teri mentally patted herself on the back for throwing them in her purse last night.

“Teri, you are amazing. “

Teri wanted more sex. She assured Richie she was fine. She even got up and walked around the bed to prove she could walk again. And they did, like it was mating season for baboons. Monkey sex Teri though with a giggle.

Rich insisted on giving Teri a great body massage after their last round of playing peek-a-boo with body parts. She deserved it. After their marathon sex and her feet issue, Richie felt it was the least he could do to help make sure she felt good and relaxed.  What do you think about this? He found some lotion provided by the hotel and began soothing her tired muscles. Those fingers are not just for playing guitar Teri thought 
as she succumbed to the wonderful sensations.

After he finished, Richie taught Teri all about the joys of shower sex. He showed her in great detail exactly what those multi head showers were all about. Too bad, she felt like she needed another massage after they were done

 A Sambora Shower Sex manual has a great ring to it Teri thought as she succumbed to Richie’s manipulations one more time.
