Dilemma

20

Suddenly, a ribbon blocked my vision of the window and was wrapped around my head. 

"Hey!" I exclaimed.

"Shhh" someone whispered on my ear. The person behind me instantly grabbed my boobs and caressed them in circular motions at which I responded with a moan. It was George. 

"We shouldn't do this here. Let's go home," I turned around to face him, even though I couldn't see him. I took the ribbon off and to my surprise found Keith's face inches apart from mine. He immediately went in and kissed me. I pushed him away, slapped his face and left the room. "No!" I yelled.

He ran after me and grabbed my arm. "Leave me alone!" I was furious, but he just chuckled.

"You're disgusting!" I shouted. "Oh, please, your moans would say otherwise," He answered back.

"Hey, what's going on?" George pushed Keith away from me and kind of shielded me with his body.

"Nothing man!" Keith shrugged and left. "Coward!" George mumbled under his breath. He then turned to look at me.

"Are you okay? Did he hurt you?" He stared deeply into my eyes, his face filled with concern.

I honestly told him everything, I didn't want to hide anything from him. He went mad, he felt very protective of me. I found out about this once when a reporter tried to take a pic under my skirt and George punched him and kicked him in the nuts and then went the next day and made sure he got fired from his job. Another time, a crazy fan of his wrote me a death threat, he wrote a letter back defending me, and made sure I had more safety and bodyguards to protect me everywhere I went. Truly a thoughtful gentleman. His loving gestures made me fall even harder for him. 

"He's playing with fire," Though he said this, he didn't seem as angry as he usually would have been. That was probably because Keith was one of his friends, and didn't want to ruin his friendship, but he still wasn't fond of him trying to seduce me.

"She's mine!" George shouted loud enough for Keith to hear even if he was far gone. Those words made my heart melt. I pecked his cheek and we both went home.

George opened the front door and let me go in first. It smelled really good. "Did you cook?" I asked him a bit confused.

"Go get yourself ready," he winked at me and ran to get ready himself. I guess he prepared date night all by himself this time! How romantic!

"I'll see you in ten!" George closed the door behind him and began getting dressed. I was so excited. But then the telephone rang, "I'll get it!"

"Hello?" Who would call at this hour? 

"Alice, it's me," I heard Keith answered. I was extremely annoyed with him.

"Ugh!" I sighed and was about to hang up.

"Don't hang up, please!" He sounded desperate.

"What do you want now?" I whispered angrily.

"I want to make it up to you, please. I thought you read my letter and were okay with this..."

"What letter?" I was so confused!

"I guess you didn't read it after all. Well, this was all a misunderstanding. Let's meet tomorrow at   the café we used to go to, 10 am sharp!" I'm leaving at 12, so I can't see you afterwards. Oh, and make sure to read the letter! Goodnight sexy!" He hung up abruptly. I rolled my eyes and put the phone away.

This boy is making everything so difficult! I'll meet him tomorrow anyways cause I do feel like he owes me an apology.

I ran to my room and prepared myself for the wonderful evening ahead.  I slipped into an elegant silk dress, that George bought me in France, put on some matching high heels. Brushed my hair and kept it down, wore big pearl earrings, touched up my make up and was ready to go. "Ally!" George shouted from across the house.

"Coming!" I shouted back as I sprayed some perfume on me. I went to the dinning room and found our table filled with rose petals, candles and delicious dishes and fancy beverages. 

"Oh George, this is beautiful!" My jaw dropped.

"You like it?" He asked.

"Are you kidding? I love it!" George pulled the chair and offered me to sit on it and pushed me in. This started to feel like more than just a regular date. Something important was about to happen. 

"You look gorgeous!" 

I blushed, "Said you!" I laughed.

"So, who was that on the phone?" 

"Oh, just Keith. He wants to meet up tomorrow to apologise," We began to eat.

"Oh..yeah... he should apologise," George took bite from the fancy oyster.

"Did you make this?" I changed the subject as we were both kind of uncomfortable talking about Keith. 

"Babe, you and I both know the answer to that. I hired a chef! Although he is nothing compared to you, he definitely did not disappoint!" We both giggled.

The dinner continued going splendidly. We had very long conversations about our beliefs, religious and spiritual ideas, and very deep topics. I loved talking about these with George because we both were able to express ourselves, without fearing to be judged. 

We also talked about our future, we decided to become vegetarians after George informed about the horrible things they did towards animals. I guess this was going to be our very last meal with meat!

We also wanted to take a trip to India, after I told him about the Maharishi and everything that I read about in a book that someone gifted me. We wanted to explore our spirituality and we thought it would be nice to learn from others to find ourselves. After hours of lovely conversations, George got up from his seat and poured me a glass of champagne, then proceeded to go on one knee and nervously take something from his jacket's pocket. The moment I had been waiting all of these years was finally happening. 

"Alice, love of my life, my one true soulmate. I have never been so happy to have met such a wonderful and beautiful human being in my life. Even this little dinner and our deep conversation has made me more eager to spend the rest of my life with you. When we filmed "A Hard Days Night", I became interested in you, when we filmed "Help", I starting feeling attracted to you, since then we've been dating and every single day I spend with you I madly fall in love with you even more. You are so inspiring, beautiful in every way, hilarious, great at cooking, and in bed (we both giggled shyly). No one has understood me so well, with just a look we know what the other one is thinking. We have similar interests, hobbies, values, visions of the future and most importantly we both love to learn. So, would you let me learn more beside you? Or better yet, would you do me the favour of marrying me already?" George opened a small dark box and in it, a mesmerising diamond ring shone brightly. 

My heart was pumping out of my chest, I was shaking and I felt like such an emotional mess. He looked up towards me and anxiously smiled with teary sparkling eyes. I had never seen him this nervous or emotional before. At this point my tears were already all over my face. 

I jumped out of my seat and kissed him roughly on his trembling lips. "Is that a yes?" He interrupted. We both laughed hysterically.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" I weeped with the biggest smile ever. He then took the extraordinary ring and inserted it on my finger. It fit like a glove! 

"Oh, George, you've made me the happiest girl on the planet! I love you!" I kissed him all over the face.
