"Jacki, I have a meeting with somebody down in the bar, so could you watch the boys for me?" Jon said ripping off his clothes and putting on cleaner ones. "Sure, baby, Oh you got a phone call from Obie he said that we're invited to a party tomorrow.." Jacklyn was sitting on the bed, hands holding her up, legs crossed. Jon wasn't paying attention, he was thinking about Serafina. He had to make a good impression. He was surprised that she even agreed to speak to him. "OK, well, see you." Jon said spraying himself with some cologne, grabbing his wallet and running out the door. Jacklyn rolled her eyes and decided to call room service.
Jon went to a quite spot in the bar, he waited patiently for Serafina to arrive. He rubbed his hands together, he was very nervous. After ten minutes he wondered if she couldn't find him and left or maybe she was sitting at another part of the bar. He stood up to look for her, then he saw her walking towards him. She looked more beautiful than ever, she was just wearing some old jeans, a t-shirt and sneakers. Jon looked around the bar, everyone was wearing that, he looked down at himself, he felt over-dressed in his shirt and trousers. Somehow she managed to make those plain old jeans and t-shirt look like they should be on the catwalk.
"Serafina" Jon greeted her, he felt like crying with joy. He couldn't stop smiling. "Jon" she said sitting down. Jon sat down, he tried looking in her eyes but she was avoiding eye contact. There was an awkward silence, "I'm so happy to see you" Jon said to her, he put a hand on top but she pulled hers away. "Jon I..." "Jon! There you are!" he heard Jacklyn called. Jon's jaw clenched as did his fists. He scowled at the ceiling, Jacklyn was really getting on his nerves. "Scooch over" she said to Jon, Jon let out a long sigh and moved over to make room for her to sit down. Jacklyn looked at Serafina, she gave her a fake smile. "So who's this?" Jacklyn asked.
Serafina took in both Jon and Jacklyn's expressions. Jon was giving the wall a murderous look, subsituting it for Jacklyn, Serafina guessed. "This is Serafina, Serafina this is Jacklyn.." Jon introduced them. "His girlfriend" Jacklyn added. Serafina's smiled faded when she said that. "Oh, girlfriend." Serafina said in a surprised way. "Not for long.." Jon muttered under his breath. "What, baby?" Jacklyn purposely added 'baby' and touched his chest, knowing that Serafina liked, if not loved, Jon. "Jacklyn, aren't you meant to be watching the boys for me?" he asked angrily. Jacklyn pursed her lips and glanced at Serafina, she smirked a little then leaned in and gave him a slobbery kiss on the lips. Jon pulled away as fast as he could. "I'll see you late, baby" Jacklyn said rising from her seat, she winked at Jon, making sure Serafina saw it. Jon rolled his eyes and shook his head at her.
"I'm sorry about that, what were you saying?" Jon said with an apologetic smile. That I love you and always have loved you! "Nothing" she said staring at the table, she glanced at her wrist, hoping Jon wouldn't see that she wasn't wearing a watch, "I better get going...I'll see you around.." Serafina said standing up. Jon sighed and let her walk away. He rubbed his stubble and then ran after her.
She was at the evaluator by now, Jon stopped a few feet away from her. "Serafina! Wait," Jon called after her. Serafina had a lump in her throat, she couldn't talk, she didn't want to stop but something made her. "I'm sorry" Jon said, his arms down by his side, he looked like he was going to cry. Serafina didn't turn around, "I know you are, Jon, I really do." She then entered the elevator.
Jacklyn was sitting on the counter top sipping on a glass on wine, when Jon entered the suite. "Hey baby!" she said smiling, "Don't 'hey baby' me!" Jon snapped walking into his room to change. "What's the problem baby?" Jacklyn walked over to give him a hug, Jon pushed her away, harder then he intended, "How dare you touch me!" Jacklyn said to him, Jon rolled his eyes and reached his hand out to help her. "Jacklyn, listen... I'm.." "I know, Jon, I'm just warning you now, don't you dare leave me, or you will be sorry" Jacklyn said fixing her hair and meaning every word. "Oh yeah? I don't care what the fuck you do to me, it's not going to change how I feel about her" Jacklyn laughed, "Oh sweetie, it will.." her smile turned into a frown, "believe me, it will!" she went into give him a kiss on the cheek but he stepped away. Jon grabbed her arm furiously "Get out. Now. Go back to the States or France or where ever the fuck you live. I don't want to see you again. Not right now." Jon said handing her her unpacked suitcase. He glared at her until the message got through to her. "You'll be sorry, baby" She said as she walked out the door.
