I found this short story on my comp while sorting out my other stuff, I just wrote it for a laugh so thought I would post it here
Disclaimer
This never really happened and more likely never will ...just a figment of my imagination and a lighthearted look at Bono a little bit in the future coping with his teenage daughters dating and having boyfriends..
*************************************
"My Jordan is dating some little pipsqueak called Steve out of some poxy boyband!!!.. when the hell did this all happen? and how come didn't I know about it until now?" Bono exploded as he sat on the edge of the bed unbuttoning his shirt
Ali rolled her eyes, "Well maybe because you were so caught up this last year with your tour with the band, that you never give it much thought.. I did mention it to you a few months ago when you were in Mexico when I phoned you, but you were pretty drunk at the time, I don't think you cared too much"
"I remember you saying she had met a guy called Steve, I thought he was someone she had met at college, and I thought it was not serious.. that they were just friends.. how come she never mentioned anything about him when I spoke to her over email and the phone?" Bono then demanded frowning
"Bono she is seventeen now she is becoming a young woman, she likes her own privacy and doesn't feel compelled to tell us about everything that is going on in her life"
"But he is three years older than her.. and in a boy band" Bono protested
"Will you stop saying that as if it is some sort of crime" Ali chided him, "Actually I have met him a few times he seems like a very nice lad.. and I am not sure it is that serious between them"
"I should hope not" Bono replied, "How did they meet anyway?"
"It happened about four months ago, the band Steve is in.. Zoom, they were playing in Dublin afterwards they had a bit of a party to celebrate the end of the tour, Jordan was invited along with Eve and some of their other friends, they whined till I agreed to let them go.. and I didn't see the harm of it at the time" Ali replied,
"I never realised they had become romantically involved till a few weeks later I heard Eve teasing Jordan about them always talking to each other on the phone, and it seems Eve read Steve's text message on Jordan's phone telling her he loved her.. it was a revelation to me.. thats when I phoned you about it" Ali informed him
"And now I find out she has invited him to stay here, at our home this weekend, I take it she did get your ok for this" Bono asked
"Well of course, at least this way we can keep an eye on them" Ali replied
"Well yeah.. I guess that is one way of looking at it" Bono agreed thoughtfully, "I can't believe this is happening though, my daughter having a boyfriend, she is still so young" he then frowned
Ali smiled wryly "I was still at school when you fell in love with me.. was I too young?"
"Was it that long ago?" Bono's eyes widen in realisation "It only seems like yesterday, time really has flown in, its just hitting me now" he finished soberly "And its all feels so different now, having the responsability of being a parent and looking out for your kids espicially my girls turning into young women... it's given me a whole new perspective... I am not sure I like it though"
Ali came and sat next to him on the bed and put her arms around him, "Don't feel too bad babe, I reckon we have done a pretty good job getting them this far.. we have a lot to be proud of"
"Yeah I guess so" Bono replied then was hit with another thought "You have had discussions about boys and sex and all that stuff with the girls?" he asked anxiously.
"Don't worry all those bases have been covered.. Jordan is a sensible girl, we have to give her a certain amount of trust" Ali told him
"It's not her I don't trust.. its this guy Steve" Bono replied making Ali laugh
"Whats so funny?" Bono demanded
"You sounded just like my father"
"Oh Gawd I really am getting old" Bono groaned in dismay burying his face in Ali's shoulder.
"Not to old to give me some of your sweet lovin?"Ali asked in a teasing husky voice
"Hmmm" Bono suddenly perked up, and started nuzzling her neck, "I am never too old for that"
he replied pulling her back on the bed.
