*~*February 2006 - Tampa, FL - Miami Medical Center*~*

"ROOOOOOX!" Sadie bursts through the staff break room door, holding a package high in the air. She slid to a stop, glasses slipping down her nose. Roxy was shaking her ass to music, earbuds in and completely oblivious. She cocked an eyebrow and picked up a mini donut and flung it at her best friend.

"What the hell?!" Roxy spun on the spot looking for the culprit, her bright eyes narrowing behind thick black-framed glasses. "Sades, what did you do that for? I was listening to the guys," she wailed light-heartedly and took in her bestie's appearance.

Her cheeks were flushed with excitement and her stethoscope bouncing around her neck. Sadie waved a package at Roxy and did a little dance. "Look what Papi T sent!" Even though they hadn't worked for Tico in 11 years, the name still stuck.

They'd both finished studying and found employment straight away. Her parents had passed within five years of each other which had been inevitable but it still tilted her world off its axis. She'd dated and even became engaged but work usually ended up being her only lover.

Richie was a treasured memory and one that she called upon when she needed him on lonely nights.

Sadie, however, had a hard time after being released from the hospital. Night after night, she'd wake up screaming and sweating. Her mental health had taken a downturn and took months to recover from.

Roxy had been her rock through the ordeal and often crawled into Sadie's bed when she wasn't working, to hold her friend throughout her demons until she fell asleep again. Sometimes it took a little more than just holding her.

Even after she had worked through her issues, no man ever came close to making her feel how David had. She pushed many of them away, rejecting their advances and ended up adopting a cat after Roxy had moved out.

Roxy eventually got her RN in Pediatrics while Sadie gravitated towards Neurology and finished her Doctorate. With some strings pulled by hospital Directors, both ended up working in the same hospital.

"What is it?" Rox asked and ripped the envelope from Sadie's hands, sitting at the closest table. She was about to tear the flap open when Sadie snatched it back. Roxy fell back into the chair with a huff. "Hurry up then," she grumbled.

Their colleagues watched the two with interest as Sadie tore open the package. Two concert tickets, backstage VIP passes and a letter fell onto the table.

"No way!" Roxy squealed and grabbed the tickets, "Front row!" she crowed. "Better than the nosebleed tickets we've already got. Aww, Papi always did look out for us."

Sadie unfolded the letter and read it to Roxy. "Hola, Carina. I hope this finds you both well. I've missed you. Far too busy these days for an old man. Hope you both are finding peace and joy in your lives. Many things have changed in the past 11 years and I'm hoping you'll accept this invitation to our Tampa concerts on February 17th and 18th. I'd like to surprise the guys...again! I've enclosed two VIP guest passes so you can both come backstage and to our small afterparty at the hotel. I think it would be great for all of us to catch up. Much love to you both, Papi."

"Aww that's so sweet of him," Roxy smiled.

"He always was a big softy," Sadie laughed. "It's been years though. What do you think? Should we?"

"I mean," Roxy twisted and bit her bottom lip, "technically we were already going. This is just an...upgrade. Plus...don't you wanna see Dave?"

Sadie frowned and fidgeted in her chair. "I don't know if I can face David after so long. You don't think it'll be...awkward? I mean...I was falling hard for this man and then...nothing." David hadn't even come to visit her in the hospital, which had hurt more than her actual attack all those years before.

"Wow, has it really been 11 years?" Roxy asked, flipping over the passes and running her fingers over Tico's letter. "I don't think Papi would do this if he thought it would hurt. Maybe the guys have been talking about us?"

Sadie slouched in the chair and pursed her lips together. "Hmm...maybe. I would have thought they'd moved on by now."

Roxy felt red-hot determination rise in her chest. "You know what? I think I still have that dress from the first time we met the guys in Jersey." She smiled when Sadie's eyes widened. "What about you?"

"I think I can dig it out. I haven't worn it since that night," the brunette said, a smile working its way onto her face. "I'm not as skinny as I was. I never threw any of those clothes out. Actually...I still have everything they bought minus the makeup. All the gifts...purses, shoes. I think it's all packed away in my closet though."

"Neither am I! But we'll get our hair and makeup done just like last time!" Roxy squealed. "Their tongues will be dragging on the floor. Should we?" Roxy grinned at Sadie, knowing that she'd pick up on the same thought as her. "I'll help you drag out everything."

Sadie unbuttoned her white coat and puffed out her chest, her breasts confined beneath a royal blue blouse. "Yes, darling! We shall! Maybe it'll be less awkward and more like...old times?"

Roxy smirked and nodded. "Maybe even better. He's not gonna know what hit him."

"He better not!"

Roxy turned to their co-workers and said, "Anyone want free Bon Jovi concert seats for Tampa?" A couple of the newer nurses threw their hands up. "I'll bring them in tomorrow for you, girls. You'll have a blast." She looked at her watch and groaned, "I gotta run...have two sick twins coming in with fevers and rashes. Put those away safely and I'll catch you later, Sades." She kissed her friend's cheek and rushed out.

*~*

The girls laughed and spent the later hours at their shared apartment, digging out the clothes and shoes they had received from the guys and reminiscing over a bottle of wine. Sadie stripped off her cami and pulled on a slinky black dress, checking herself out in the mirror from every angle.

"So, you really think we can pull this off?" Roxy asked, leaning against the sofa and swirling the red wine around in her glass.

"I think so," Sadie said, tracing her finger around the rim of her glass. "We'll be fine. We just have to...you know...fit in like we used to..."

"Oh, don't worry about that," Roxy laughed. "It'll be just like riding a bike. Or rather, just like riding Dave."

"Roxy!"

"What? You said we had to fit in like we used to! Besides, it's true. We were the fucking shit back then, and these guys treated us like queens. We can do this."

Sadie frowned at her best friend. "You really think so? This dress is a lot tighter!"

Roxy dug out her old platform heels that she had worn that night. They were a little scuffed, but they'd work as long as she didn't wear them all night. She also dug out a pair of black stockings to wear with them.

"I do! And if it doesn't go as planned, we'll go back to the hotel with some wine and I'll eat your pussy until you forget him again," Roxy giggled and slapped Sadie's ass.

Sadie blushed and bit her lip. "You're too good to me."

"Damn right I am," Roxy whispered. "You know...we could have some fun to help take the edge off."

"Now?" Sadie asked, raising an eyebrow.

Roxy bit her lip and nodded slowly. "I could go for some release before we do this. You...you could help me with that."

Sadie giggled and looked around the room. "My bed or yours?"

"Who needs a bed?" she replied, winking at her best friend.

The dark-haired girl looked behind Roxy at the sofa. She bit her lip and looked back, nodding. "Right here? You want me to...?"

"On your knees, gorgeous," Roxy said, grinning widely.

Without another word, Sadie obeyed. She slowly dropped to her knees and crawled across the carpet toward Roxy. She stopped when she was in front of her and looked up at her expectantly. Roxy bit her lip and gently stroked Sadie's hair, taking a handful and holding it as she lowered herself onto her.

Sadie took a deep breath as she felt Roxy's wetness against her lips. She looked up and nodded, then slowly began to lick her. She felt Roxy's thighs tremble as she ran her tongue up and down, licking her gently, then pushing it into her.

Roxy moaned as she rocked her hips gently against Sadie's mouth. "Oh...that's good, baby...so good..." she whispered.

Sadie gently ran her hands along Roxy's thighs, then reached up and cupped her breasts through her top. She squeezed them gently and brushed her thumbs across Roxy's nipples, smiling as she felt her squirm against her. She slid one hand down to rub at her friend's clit, and the other she pushed into her own wet pussy.

"Oh...fuck...keep doing that...yeah..." Roxy moaned.

Sadie smiled as she continued, gently sliding one then two fingers into her and pushing her clit and g-spot with her thumb and forefinger. Roxy started to moan more as she rocked her hips faster against her face. She brushed Sadie's hair out of the way and gripped it in a fist, holding her head in place as she thrust against her.

"Oh...shit...I'm gonna...oh fuck!" Roxy whispered. Her thighs tensed and her pussy clenched as she came. She moaned loudly, her other hand going to Sadie's head and stroking her hair gently.

"Fuck...you're amazing, baby," she whispered. "You're absolutely amazing."

"You're telling me you didn't want to do that?" Sadie asked cheekily.

Roxy laughed and gently pushed her away. "You little minx. No, I'm not complaining at all." She leaned in and kissed her softly. "I got something special for you. Wait right here." Roxy got up and left the room. She was gone for only a minute before she came back with something strapped around her waist.

"What's this?" Sadie asked. It was a large, cream-colored dildo attached to a black harness. The realistic dildo that had a real set of balls at the base. It was easily eight inches long and had to be as wide as three of her fingers.

"I bought it the last time I was out of town. I was planning on using it...but I think you're far more deserving of it," Roxy explained. "Kinda reminds me of D..."

"Oh?" Sadie asked, smiling coyly. "A bit...but he's got a slight curve. Not bad at all though."

"Yes, get on your knees on the couch," Roxy ordered. "Present yourself the way you would for him." Sadie swallowed thickly and did as she was told, her chest and shoulders on the cushions and her ass in the air. Roxy got down behind her. "Are you ready?" Roxy whispered, rubbing the tip of the strap-on against her wet slit.

"Fuck yes," she moaned, mentally preparing herself. Sadie had shied away from sex since that traumatic night, only trusting Roxy in any intimate way.

Roxy pushed forward slowly as she took it in, Sadie's pussy squeezing down around the head as it slid deeper and deeper inside her. Sadie exhaled sharply and Roxy's hand was at her back, rubbing it soothingly.

"Easy, baby...breathe...think of him..." She thrust forward gently, letting it fill up her completely before pulling back again. Then, she set up a gentle rhythm, thrusting slowly to start, each time going a little bit faster than the last.

"Mmm more..."

Sadie was moaning loudly throughout it all, her hands desperately grabbing at the cushions on the couch. She could feel herself getting close to orgasm again. It had been so long since she had actually had a chance to enjoy sex. She couldn't believe that she had gone so long without it.

Roxy started to increase the speed of her thrusts, slamming into her as she moaned loudly. She reached underneath Sadie to rub at her clit, and that was all it took to set her off. She bit down on the cushion, moaning into it as she came hard.

"Oh fuuuuck..." Sadie's pussy clenched around the dildo, and she could feel herself getting wetter as she soaked through the cushion.

Roxy didn't stop, even as she came again herself. She kept going at it, not slowing down at all as she fucked her through her orgasm. Sadie just moaned and whimpered, shaking as pleasure ran through her body.

"That's it, sexy," Roxy whispered and increased her pace, causing Sadie to whip her head back and her long dark locks to be tossed in the air. She gripped onto Sadie's hips as she slammed into her, letting out a groan as she started to cum.

"Fuck...fuck...Roxy..." Sadie moaned, her legs trembling and her body gave out.

Roxy collapsed down onto the couch next to her, her chest heaving up and down as she panted for breath."That was...just what I needed," Roxy whispered.

"Same here," Sadie said, stretching out her muscles.

"I'm glad I could help," Roxy smiled, leaning over to give Sadie a kiss. "God help those poor boys..."

*~*~*

The two-week wait was more than either of them could bear. They garnered many whispers about their choice of skimpy dresses but they took it in stride. These were special dresses. The same ones they'd worn to greet the men in that private bar all those years back.

"I'm nervous, Sades," Roxy murmured as they showed their tickets to the attendant at the door of Amalie Arena. "What happens if they don't recognize us?"

"I guess we'll just wing it. Hopefully, Papi would step in and say something. He said for us to text him and come backstage." She took out her phone and sent a quick message to Tico's new number he'd included in the letter.

"I wonder if Richie's seeing anyone at the moment? You know, since his divorce. The way he and Heather looked at each other, I thought for sure they'd last the distance, as much as it killed me."

They strode arm in arm through the crowd, stopping to purchase two fedora hats with the band name and several pins. Sadie struggled to attach her pins through the thick material and Roxy giggled as she said, "Here, let me help."

She took the metal disc and stood close, delving her hand inside Sadie's bodice to attach the pin. Her fingers brushed across the creamy mound and she was instantly rewarded with a small gasp as Sadie's nipples hardened instantly. Roxy winked at Sadie before she modelled off her own hat.

"Sexy as always," Sadie cooed and smacked Roxy's ass. The arena was filling quickly and they stopped to ask one of the security guys where the backstage entrance was and showed their passes.

The guard personally walked them to the entrance and they both saw Tico coming down the hallway, waving at the same time. "Mi Carina!" He pulled Sadie into a tight squeeze and kissed her cheek. "You two are beautiful!" He gave Roxy a kiss.

"Gracias, Papi T," Roxy whispered and pressed her lips to his cheek.

"Richie's with his guitar tech, but Jon and David are in Jon's dressing room going over the setlist." He led the way past touring musicians and security, Bon Jovi administration and empty equipment cases.

"Is Obie still around?" Sadie asked, remembering how she'd made dinner memorable for the sound engineer.

"Oh yeah. We're still stuck with him. Wait here a moment," Tico said and opened the door to the dressing room. The girls could hear him say, "Got a surprise for you lot. How long is Richie gonna be?"

"How should I know?" David replied loudly, "I'm not his mother!"

"He should be back soon," Jon supplied, "What's up T?"

Tico motioned behind his back and the girls walked around him. They posed side by side in the doorway, hands on their hips, and smiled. "Hello, gentlemen," they said in unison.

David spat a mouthful of water and Jon dropped the marker he was holding. Their eyes bugged out momentarily, just as they had done that first night.

"Always did love your surprises, T," Jon grinned widely and rose from the couch, stepping over the small table to greet the girls. "My god, you're both still beautiful," he said, looking them both over before crushing Sadie into a bear hug. "I'm so sorry, sweetheart," he whispered in her ear.

Sadie kissed his cheek in response and smiled as David approached. She smiled at Jon and sidestepped him, staring up into the piercing blue eyes of the only man that had truly broken her heart. Yet, at this moment, she could feel those pieces mending.

David cupped her face and brushed his lips across hers. She'd never forgotten the softness of those lips, the warmth of his kisses. Neither said a word and fell into the other's embrace, the quiet sound of Sadie starting to cry muffled against David's chest.

"I'm sorry," she sobbed.

"Shhh," he whispered, "It's okay, angel."

Jon turned to Roxy and blatantly looked her over from head to toe before pulling her into his arms. "Good to see you, baby. King's gonna flip when he sees you," he said, "I should warn his tech to lower his straps, I think."

"Good to see you to Jon," Roxy said and pulled back gently, "I'm so glad you took my advice." She took his left hand and fiddled with his wedding band. He smiled bashfully and nodded.

"I was a fool and needed someone with fresh eyes to set me straight," he replied.

"Is your wife here tonight?"

"No, she's back home."

Roxy nodded and smiled. He looked happier and healthier than what she remembered of their last days together.

"You know, I'm gonna keep you girls hidden until the show starts if that's okay?" Jon asked, turning to both women, "Rich needs a pick-me-up at the moment and I think you're just the right one."

David led Sadie to the couch and the two looked content cuddling. "I don't wanna leave again though," Sadie pouted and gripped onto David's shirt.

"That's okay," Roxy replied, "I don't mind hiding. I'm good at surprises."

"I could always take this one to my dressing room," David smirked, his hands running the length down Sadie's leg. "I'm sure Teek won't mind hanging out here..."

Jon couldn't roll his eyes any harder. "Fine! Just don't be late!" he groused, "You're gonna be impossible up there tonight if you're gonna do what I think you're gonna do."

"Jonny, I'm offended," David replied flatly.

"Get outta here already," he ordered and chuckled at how fast two grown people could scamper out of a room.
