HERO 29

well here it is!



"Can I ask you something personal?"

Adam slowed his step, glancing at Ria sideways

She considered a moment and smiled

"Unless its to do with my parents you can ask me anything...I just dont feel like touching on that subject right now"

"Oh , no, its nothing like that. I was just wondering about you and Bono...I mean...what exactly is going on in that hotel room?"

"Arent we forward?" Ria laughed, turning her customary shade of pink

"Forgive me, Im sorry if that was too prying"
Adam touched her arm lightly, apologetically

"Its fine Adam. Really. Youre my friend"

She took a moment to process what she had just said.

Friend, yeah

"As for whats going on in that hotel room. A whole lot of sexual tension"

"So youre not...."

"No, Im still the oldest living virgin on the planet"

"Ah dont worry about that honey, youre just waiting for the right moment. Lots of people have nightmare first times because theyre not ready"

Silence hovered for a minute
The sound of the waves hurling themselves into the sand rushed around them
Ria sighed and shoved her hands into her pockets
Pockets in shorts bought by Bono
She sighed again

"If nothing is going on in there, which is absolutely amazing for Bono I might add, where does your relationship stand? You say youre not a couple but youre so fecking adorable together its almost nauseating"

"Well thats disgusting" Ria chuckled "But truthfully Im not sure what our relationship is. Its just so hard you know? Hes BONO.

I used to fantasize about him when I was a teenager and now for some psychotic reason hes interested in me....
And I have no clue what to do about it"

She crinkled her eyebrows together and held her fingers to her temples
Just thinking about it was making her head hurt

"How the hell could this last anyway?"

"Bono's just a normal guy, well you know what Im saying. He needs a good woman to settle down with and to keep him grounded. Its just reallt hard for a famous bloke to get a normal girl, trust me, I know"

They had stopped walking and settled onto a sunbleached log

"But still, me? He wants me of all people? Im not that exciting"

"Like hell youre not! Lets see, when I met you was quite exciting. You skinnydipped in that ice cold river, kissed Bono on the plane, played life guard, danced with Mr. Playboy himself and acted in a movie."

"Still"

Adam wrapped his arm around her shoulder, pulling her in affectionately as they started walking back in the direction of the hotel

"He's got it bloody bad for you by the way"
They bumped together softly and smiled

"Nah"

"I speak only the truth"

"Time will tell. I just wish I knew what I want"

"Did you like kissing him?"

"Well. Yeah"
Her cheeks flared up

"Do you like sleeping next to him at night, which I assume thats what youre doing with only one bed in the room"

"Yeah, but"

"But nothing. You look like a smitten teenage couple around each other. I think you know what you want, youre just too afraid of losing it"

"I think you should be a shrink on your off days"

"Honey, with my job, you dont have any off days. You gotta be a rich, handsome bastard around the clock"


With the mood of the conversation lightned, they both grinned and headed back up the steps to the hotel lobby

Adam. My friend.
Ria smiled to herself, biting her lip.
---------------------

"You in there?"

Ria knocked on the door and waited but there was nobody in their room

Great, Bono has the key

After waiting a minute more she shrugged and headed down to the lobby to see if there was a message from Bono about where the hell he was.

"No miss. Sorry, no message. Were you looking for the man in the red sunglasses and short hair?"

"Yeah, thats Bono"

"Well I just saw him walk across the street to the bar with the palm tree sign"
---------------------

Smoke burned her nose as soon as the door opened, a thin fog formed from the many ciggies being puffed on.

Real high class joint

She scanned the room the best she could but there was no Bono

Maybe around the corner....

yeah there he is

She was just about to walk over to him when a prettyish woman in an overtight miniskirt and a tube top beat her to him.

The look in her eyes said she wanted more than to just talk to Bono.
She was on the prowl...

He shook his head to whatever she said, unheard by Ria over the loud heavy metal chords blasting out of a jukebox

Shoving her boobs out a little more
she attempted to win Bonos attention

Ria saw the upset look Bono wore
He patted the seat next to him and the skirt sat down

Mr bartender slammed down a pint of beer on the dirty counter

Thanks, Bono mouthed. He still looked miserable

No words were exchanged between the two
the skirt and Bono
But her hands didnt take long to find a spot on his thigh
Creeping up higher

Ria waited for him to stop her
How could he just let some bar slut put her hands all over him like that?

Come on Bono. Make her stop!

She moved closer to him, that blonde in that skirt
Leaning in and licking his ear
Leaving a trail of bright red lipstick on it

A wave of nausea swept over Ria
I shouldnt be seeing this she thought. I need to leave, I cant watch

Bono looked miserable stil, but he was doing nothing to stop her.
Her lips invaded his cheek
Bono still sat. One hand on the beer, the other gripping the bar stool. A cloud over his head

She kissed his mouth sloppily
Left a streak of red across his mouth
Ria's mouth...her lip

Finally reacting he pulled away, catching sight of Ria out of the corner of his eye.

Mouth open
Tears in her eyes
She stood in the hallway looking like an abandoned child

Bono jumped to his feet, knocking over his pint on the skirt who cursed at him and stomped off, flicking beer from her lap

A moment passed, their eyes together

Oh shit
oh shit
All Bono could think
was oh shit

Ria turned around and walked away towards the exit, Bono close behind trying to say something coherent and watch where he was going.

Out in the daylight he watched as a tear slid down her cheek and plummet into the sidewalk

"Hey wait. Ria please, look at me"

"You have lipstick on your mouth"

Ria headed across the street absentmindedly
barely avoiding being hit by a honking BMW

Bono chased after her, wiping his mouth disgustedly

Back into the hotel lobby Bono caught up to her and grabbed her by the wrist to pull her around
Before he could blink she'd released herself and stepped away

"Look, Bono, I have no right to care okay? If you want to go do that then do it. Theres nothing stopping you but yourself. At least give the the fucking room key so I can get back in."

"No. I was upset and not thinking clearly. That, in there, is not what I want!"

He noticed that they had attracted attention

"Can we please argue someplace else?"

"I dont want to argue with you, B"

"Talk then. Lets go outside..."

The look in his eyes was impossible to ignore.
It was love and pain and everything that ever goes with it

Ria sighed and followed him
Self consciously dabbing a tear from her eye
