Secret Love Song // A Paul McCartney Fanfiction

Paul walked into Humfrey's office with Sienna close behind. They both felt completely overcome with anxiety and sleep deprived. They had spent almost the entire night calling, emailing, and worrying. Humfrey was the most powerful person they had ever encountered, could their plan work?

"I'm glad you brought your fairytale lover, Paul. This concerns both of you." He stated sternly, towering over them like a fierce giant about to crush them in his stride.

"We haven't come to take your bullshit, Humfrey." Paul said calmly, though on the inside he was terrified.

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me. You're going to sit by and let us do what we want. You've manipulated us for long enough." Paul crossed his arm and Humfrey simply began laughing.

"Is that so? And what are you going to do if I don't? Write a song about me?"

"We thought you might not comply. That's why we're firing you." Sienna stated, her pulse firing quicker than normal.

Humfrey laughed once again.

"Fire me? With what authority?"

"I know you're pretty good at keeping an eye on articles and headlines, I'm surprised you haven't seen the news already." Paul smirked and Sienna opened her phone.

"'Exclusive story from dream records' new owner, Sienna Malbrook gives interview on the toxicity of the management and promises for the future of music label companies.'" She read aloud, Humfrey's face fell slightly. He tried to keep up his bluff of being powerful but the young singers saw right through the cracks. They had pierced the dragon right in its weak spot.

"You can expect a lawsuit for defamation from me in the next week. I recall a certain document that you signed that legally forbade you from speaking out against me."

"Mm that's well and true, but I'm not sure blackmail being caught on video recording will do very well in your favour." Sienna shrugged, holding up her phone and Humfrey sighed.

"This industry is going to chew you up and spit you out. You bought an entire record label to get rid of the person who got you that money to pay for it in the first place. You'll regret firing me." He finally said, and Paul and Sienna looked at each other with celebration in their eyes.

"Maybe we're being too harsh. It'll take a week before the place is handed over to me so, because I respect you so much, you can have one more week to ruin peoples lives, bathe in your money, or whatever the hell you do. How's that?" Sienna tilted her head innocently as Humfrey sent her daggers.

He picked up his briefcase and phone and stormed past, shoving Paul with his shoulder as he did. Paul didn't care. Humfrey could've punched him square in the jaw and he would still be celebrating. Nothing could ruin this moment. From this day on, they were officially free.

"Blackmailing the blackmailer. I like it. When did you record him talking?" Paul asked Sienna and she giggled.

"I didn't, it was a bluff. It worked though!" They high fived.

Afterwards, the pair met up with the rest of the group for a drink, just like in their early days. They celebrated their release from the shackles of Humfrey and felt at peace. No dramas, no restrictions, no tension, everything was good.

"Is it weird I feel like a storm is about to hit? Like this is all too good to be true?" George asked and the others nodded their heads.

"No I feel the same. Especially when we were talking to Humfrey, I felt like we had found the loophole too easily. That he was gonna come back with something we hadn't thought of yet." Sienna responded.

"Maybe the real loophole was the loopholes we made along the way." John said and they all groaned.

"Shut up, Lennon." Paul said and John just began laughing.

"So does this mean Sienna is our new manager?" George asked and Sienna chuckled.

"God no. I just own the management, I hired someone pretty amazing to manage a few of the acts, though. Her name is Leah, she knows a lot about music." Sienna smiled and John smirked.

"Yeah, I'm sure she's great with her hands, aye Sienna." He said to Sienna who slapped his chest while the others laughed.

"We don't need to bring up exes, thank you." Paul stated.

"We need to talk about you guys, I mean, how does it feel to finally be back together?" Ringo changed the subject, directing it at Paul and Sienna who just looked at each other with silly smiles on their faces. They couldn't help it. Every time they shared a glance, it reminded them of how they finally had each other. Not having each other but hiding it from the fans, not having each other but forced apart, not having each other but scared Humfrey would find out. They just had each other with no strings attached. It was a perfect feeling.

"I dunno. He's kind of getting on my nerves." Sienna shrugged and Paul's scowl made her laugh. "It hasn't even been 48 hours since Paul made his Grammy's speech but everything feels perfect. Right where it's meant to be."

"Couldn't have put it better myself, love." Paul smiled at her and took her hand in his.

"I think that Grammy's speech is going to go down in pop culture history." John stated and Paul chuckled.

"My god, the looks on those faces when I said it."

"The camera instantly panned to me when you said it and I looked in absolute shambles!" Sienna said, cringing at the memory.

"I think if you looked calm it would've been worse." John laughed. They all shared a laugh and when it died, they just took in the moment.

"How about a cheers, to Paul and Sienna!" George raised his glass and the rest followed.

"No, to The Beatles!" Paul responded.

"Cheers to Humfrey!" John added and they looked at each other before clinking their glasses.

"To Humfrey!" They cheered and began laughing once again.

"May he rest in peace." Ringo added with a chuckle.

That night Paul went back to Sienna's. He hadn't seen her place since she moved in so he was looking around, amazed.

"Damn, Malbrook. This is nice!" He commented, looking through all the rooms.

"I did pretty well picking this, huh."

"Very well."

Paul walked over to her and kissed her cheek.

"Thank you."

"What for?" She smiled.

"For taking me back. For being with me now. For loving me still, even after I broke up with you." Paul answered.

"You didn't have a choice."

"I could've fought harder though."

"Paul, don't do this to yourself. You did what was right and it was a huge sacrifice. I should be thanking you." Sienna glazed over his cheek with her thumb.

"I honestly thought that was the end. I never imagined us getting back together, despite how desperately I wanted it. When I told you I wouldn't be okay for a long time if we broke up, I didn't realise it would be years." Paul said and Sienna chuckled.

"What can I say? I'm too loveable."

"I'm never going to part from you again. No matter what. Okay?" Paul looked her dead in the eye. Sienna leant in and planted a soft kiss on his lips.

"Good."
