Chapter 6

Kate walked in the entrance of the hοspital with Richie. It was the first time she walked in and everybody looked at her. Well, not her exactly but sure the tall man who was walking next to her. They walked together to the elevators doors. Richie pressed the bottom and waited.

"In which floor is your office?" he asked a few seconds later. "On the fourth. All doctor's offices are on that floor." "Oh." he answered and the elevator came. Richie let her walk in first. When he got in too he pressed his floor and hers.

The elevator arrived at Richie's floor. The doors opened and Richie walked out. From behind of his shoulder gave Kate a killing smile and he saw her disappear as the doors closed.  He walked to David's room. He stoped at the door and knocked it. David's voise came from the inside and Richie opened the door.

He found there david lying on the only bed in the room. "Good afternoon Lemma! How are you?" he asked. "How you think i'm doing? I'm in a hospital not in a hotel!" David answered from the bed. "The Lemma i knew is back!" Richie teased. "What did the doctors say?" he added lookingat him. "They didn't passed today. And we don't know nothing new. A few nurses came and said that the test results will come out by the end of the day. So, we're waiting!"David answered.

The door opened and Jon walked in with a big smile on his face. "Oh Lemma is good to have you back!" he said as she walked in the room. "Hey Kidd did your mother teached you manners? We knock before we entered in a room, ya know!" David attacked. "Wow relax Lemma! The doctor must change your pain killers!" Jon answered.

"Yeah yeah! Whatever!" was David's answer. "Hey Rich did you have a good ride back home yesterday?" Jon asked and sut on a chair. "Well, not exactly! I got rubber on the road!" "Oh shit man! At least you found a motel close?" "Nope. Do you remember the blond doctor who checked Lemma yesterday?" Richie asked. "You mean Mrs Jones?" David said. "Yeah, her. She was passing and she found me and i slept in her house and i came here with her!" Richie answered.

Both David and Jon rolled their eyes. "You slept in Dr Jones house?" David asked with raised his eyebrow. "Yeah. You found it strange?" Richie answered back. "A little. But from what i can see you slept good!" "Yeah, very good. It was nice and i still have my things on her house. I must take them." "You slept with her?" Jon asked.

"Of course not Jon! She slept in her bedroom and i slept in the guest room! Nothing happend." "You better watch her Rich. She's smart and i don't want my best friend in baby troubles with an unknown woman." Jon warmed him. "She's not unknown to me. Her name is Kate and she's very cute and funny. And she drives me nuts when she fixed her glasses on the top of her nose or when she looked at me with her light blue eyes! Man, when i look into her eyes i loose the ground of my feet!" Richie said what he was feeling to his best friends.

"Oh the Swingman is in love with a doctor!" Jon said. "I'm not in love with her! I just like her." "You better used to it! When i'm out of here you'll not see her again!" David said. "No, i'll take her out for dinner this Saturday! We challenged each other in piano. I was about to loose but i won. And i as the winner i asked her to have dinner with me on her next day off!" he said and his eyes lighted up.

"You with her on a date?" Jon asked suprised. "Yeah? What is the weird?" Richie asked without knowing what Jon had in mind. "Come on Rich you're a rock star who can have any woman he wants....." "She doesn't knew i'm a rock star and i like it even better! You know Jon money is not everything in the world!" Richie attacked back.

Jon got up from the chair and stood in front of Richie. Jon was in shocked. He couldn't believe that his best friend said tp him something like that. "You know that is not right! Love is more imporant than money!" he answered with an agressive tone on his voise.

"Shut the fuck up both of you! Stop it!" David shoot from his bed. His two friends have forget that they were in the hospital. Richie and Jon froze and looked to each other and then to David. Jon went back to his chair and sut. "I'm sorry..... I started it....." Jon said. "No, Jon is my fault if i haven't said that....." Richie started but Jon stoped him. "No, you said what you thought was right! I should have keep my mouth shut!" Jon answered.

Meanwhile Kate was in office looking to a petience's folder when Helen knoched the door "Come in Helen!" Kate said from her desk. "Good afternoon Kate. How was your day?" Helen said and walked in the office with a folder in her hands. "Let's say undeturous and amazing. What is that?" "You just said undeturous? You drove over the speed limit for once in your life?" Helen teased her best friend.

She knew her from the collage over a decate. She also knew that Kate didn't do nothing without think about it. She was doing what she must do. "I did that too when i was coming here. My heart was beating so fast but the police was not around!" "Anyway. Here are David's test results!" Helen saqid and gave to her the folder.

"Who is David?" Kate asked and opened the folder. "Oh Kate the rock star who came last night......." "Oh yeah Mr Rashbaum!" "Bingo! I didn't go to check on him today i can't go there alone. Can we go together?" "Maybe later! Let me see what we can do here for your little rock start......" Kate said and smiled a little.

"What are you going to do in your day off? I was thinking about to come over and see a nice movie! You know to have some girl-time!" Helen said. "I'm sorry but i already have plans for Saturday." "Who gives a lecture in the Library this time?" Helen teased again.

Kate didn't take it personaly but how she'll tell that she has a date with Richie Sambora? "No, is not a lecture. I have a date!" "Date? Oh my God!!!! Finaly! And who is the lucky man?" Helen said exited about her friend. "Richie!" Kate droped the bomb to her. Helen looked puzzled for a little. "Richie the guy in the cafeteria?" she asked having no idea what Kate's answer will be. "Not that Richie! Richie the friend of David's!" "Wow! Hold on before i loose my mind! You'll go out for dinner with Richie Sambora?" "Yes. But i don't think i'm going to..." "Kate are you crazy? A man like him invited you to dinner and you're not going?" Helen asked suprised and her eyes rolled.

"He's doing this because he slept in my house last night. And he thinks he owns me something. Plus, he beat me in a piano challenge." Kate answered. "Did i just hear right? He slept in your house?" Helen asked suprised one more time. "Yes." "And you still don't want to go?" Helen asked with her eybrows raised. She knew her best friend very well.

"If i go he'll think i like him and i don't! Why should i like him? Because he's sweet and funny? Or because his eyes are like chocalte? I don't like him! He smockes and he left the living room in a mess this morning and he didn't clean up the bathroom!" Kate answered to her best friend. "Kate i don't want to hurt your feellings but you like him!" Helen said and shaked her head.

"No, i do not like him! I thought i made myself clear before." Kate said and looked down to the folder. "So, what are you gonna wear?" Helen asked the right question. "I found a piece of paper that he might wrote. He was writting some about angels, God was a woman. Sothing like red dresses and high heels and some woman with long blonde hair i don't remember.... i looked it and i left it there!" Kate answered.

That moment realized that Richie wrote a song for her. She didn't want to say it because Kate will might scared. But she could see it in the way she talks about him. She defently liked him. And from what it seems, he liked her too.

Chapter 5

Kate stood up from the chair and took their diches to the sink. "Follow me!" she said and shaked her head. Richie stood up from his chair and followed her. Kate passed the living room and stoped in front of a door. She opened it and she walked in followed by him.

It was a room with bookcases from the one wall to the other, full of books. A large window was on the right wall. In front of the window was a desk with a chair. That is her office. In the other corner of the room was the piano.

Kate was already walked to it while Richie was looking around her office. "From what it seems you love reading!" he said looking to the large bookcase in front of him. "I love reading! And i'm a doctor afterall and we never stop reading!" she answered and shut in the chair in front of the piano.

She run her fingers to the piano keys and start playing. "Wow you want to chalenge me right now?" Richie asked puzzled. "Yeah, exept if you're afraid that you're going to loose....." Kate answered and looked at him standing in front of the bookcase. "Me? Afraid to loose from you? Nah..... go ahead! Show me what you got....." Richie answered and put the book he was holding back to its place.

He walked closer to Kate as she start playing Tchaikovsky's Chinise Dance. he knew the song pretty well but no like Kate does. He must admit she was playing very good for a woman. While he was watching her play he was thinking what song he'll play next.

When Kate was finished she said sarcasticly "Beat that rock star!" Kate got up and Richie shut. "Watch and learn sweetheart!" Richie said and smiled. He start playing a song of Mozart's. From the intro Kate realized that this battle will be very long. She thought that will might be so stupid to chalenge him in his job. But they were deal and it will be fun if she let him won. He said if he'll win he'll take her out for dinner.Well, that sound very intersting.

After two hours of playing piano Richie won. Kate didn't let him at all. She was trying so hard to follow him but he's a professional. "I told you darlin' i was going to win!" he said and he got up from the chair. "It was nice to try anyway!" Kate answered. "So, Kate when is your next day off?" he asked as Kate closed the door of her office. "The next Saturday, why are you asking?" "You forget about the deal we had? If i win i'll take you out for dinner, remember?" "Oh, yeah the deal!" Kate said and fixed the glasses on her nose.

"So, next Saturday? I'll be there at 20.00!" "Look Richie you don't have to. It wasn't official after all!" Kate answered. "No, i'm a man and i keep my word! I'm not taking no for an answer. Just don't see it like i'm the winner. Is the least i can do for what you've done for me." Richie said. His voise make sure to her that if she answered no, they'll have a fight about it.

Kate sighed. It wasn't that she didn't want to go for a dinner with him but she has forgot how is to go out with a man. It's been ages since someone had offered to take her out. Plus, that this is not a radnom man, he's a rock star.

"Okay, you won that round too!" she said and smiled. "That's great! I'll be here at 20.00 on Saturday evening! Don't forget it!" he answered and gave her a half smile. "No,  i will not..." Richie nobbed and desapeared on the hallway.

Kate walked back to the living room and start tiding up the place a little. Papers were all over the couch as long as the living table. An ashtray full of finished cigarettes. When she came closer she breath smocked air and that made her cough more than one time. Is the only thing that it get on her nervous, the smocke of the cigarette.

She left the ashtray like it was when she saw a notebook opened. She thought it was hers at first. but she changed her mind when she saw the writting of an another person. She couldn't resist and she start reading it.

If God was a woman
with long blond hair
Would you kneel at her alter
and offer her prayer
Could she be your addiction
could she make you sin
If God was a woman 
and you were her man

If God was a woman 
would you be impressed
if she showed up in high heels
and a pretty red dress
Would you make a donation
or would you draw a line
Would you yield to temtation
or savor her wine.


These lyrics were what he've wrote so far. Kate froze as she realized that she has blond hair too. But that thought left straight her mind. It couldn't be possible Richie liked her in any way. He might liked her a doctor but not as a woman. What would he liked? She's wearing glasses and she hated man like him. 

The whole rock star style he had wasn't her type at all. She prefered man with an another level of education. She prefered man that are more cultred. She wanted to talk about everything with the man that she will fall in love with not just sports and music. Because she has no idea of sports but she loved music. She started piano lessons at the age of seven along with French lessons.

Her fatherTimothy Jones is a very well known doctor in the city. And being famous has as a result to have a lot of money. And yes Kate has a lot of money that she made herself. When she gratuaded from high-school was the last time she went to her house. She wanted to fight for her life. She found a job and an appartement and start the lessons in Medical School. She finished it with the highest exent she could ever got. And since then she lives alone.
