Baby, It's You. (Paul McCartney fanfiction)

Chapter 21: "For No One"

"So, I took your advice"

"On what?"

"Jane. We have a lunch date tomorrow afternoon."

"Oh Ronan that's great"

"I think she thinks she's taking me from you, so the pleasure is mostly hers. But want to know something even better?"

"What?"

"Paul is free too. Maybe you should take your advice?"

"Oh no, I couldn't."

"Why not? Call him up."

"Should I?"

He hands me the telephone from my nightstand and tells me to dial

"What do I say?"

"Say something that'll catch his interest... I don't know, be creative"

"Oh great"

I say as the phone is ringing but thankfully there's no answer

"Oh well, better luck next time!"

I say with a sigh of relief
Just when I hear my phone ringing.
I pick up to answer.

"Hello?"

"You called?"

"How did you know?"

"I knew you would."

"How?"

"Every time we see each other, one of us calls the other."

"Oh, so you think you just know me do you?"

"I do enough to know you'll accept my lunch invitation tomorrow afternoon?"

I give Ronan a strange look and he mouths the word "what?" to me.

"Um, sure. Where should I meet you?"

"Come over to my place, I'll cook something for you."

"Well, Paul, I don't know"

"Im a good cook, I promise."

"Oh, alright. See you tomorrow."

"1 o'clock"

"Sure. Goodbye Paul."

I look at Ronan with a confused expression on my face.

"Ronan, what time is your date with Jane tomorrow?"

"1 o'clock, why?"

"Do you think by any chance it was a coincidence that Paul invited me over to his place at 1?"
