Sweet darling

~Chapter 4~

The boys and I wait for Ringo to come out of the nurses office. "Remember, no getting into fights, you might get a concussion," the nurse said to him, as he left. "Thank god you're ok," I say, running over to him and giving him a big hug. "You made me promise," he said,with a smile. "Do you feel any better," Paul asked. "I guess," he says nodding. "You lads wanna hang at mine for a little while?" George asks. "Ringo cant, he has to catch up on work," I say to him. Richie gave me a sour face. "Cant I do it later?" He asked. "No, get it done, and then you can hang with the rest of us," I said to him, patting his head. "So you're not even going to help me?" Ringo asked with a sad expression. "Do I have to help you? Im pretty sure Mr.W wrote everything down that you need to do," I say. "Well..cant I just at least spend time with you?" He asked, grabbing your hand. I heard the rest of the boys go 'aww'. "Ok fine, you win this time," I say to him, holding his hand. "Lovebirds!" Paul howled. "What did we do in class today?" Ringo asked me, ignoring Pauls comment. "I don't know, I wasn't really paying attention," I answer him. "Damnit ace," he whispered to himself. "RICHARD," I yell. "What?" "You said your first curse word, im so proud, my little baby is growing up," I say, fake crying. "I'm literally a year older than you," Ringo yelled. "That doesn't mean I cant call you baby," I said, winking. His face turned red like a cherry and I was loving every second of it. It might of been wrong to think, but it was funny. I love teasing Richie. And I think a part of him loves it too. "Cmon lovebirds hurry up," Paul said, pushing us. "Geo, we'll be over in an hour," I said. "Come whenever, it doesn't matter to me love," he said, kissing my hand. "Looks like Ringo has some competition," John said, snickering. "Who would you actually choose though, im curious now," George says. "I don't think that's important," I say. "Oh cmon, don't be shy," Paul said. "Well..if I had to choose it would be Richie," I say quietly. "What was that?" John said. "I said I would choose Richie," I said louder, sighing. Ringo let go of my hand and started walking faster, rubbing his neck. "Where are you going Ringo? Slow down," I yelled to him. "Are you feeling ok?" I ask him. He looked pale, like he was sick. "Yeah I-I'm ok," he says. "You look pale," I say to him. "No, I promise I'm fine," he says. I grabbed onto his hand put he pulls away. I put my hands in my pockets and keep walking.

"See you soon," I say to the guys. I go inside and we go into his room. "Can I ask you a question," Ringo asked me. I could tell he was serious. "Yeah, of course," I say. "Do you..have a crush on..me? He asked, nervously. He was getting red again. I didn't know how to answer his question. I thought I didn't, I thought we were just friends. But the more I thought about it, the more I thought I might. "Ringo.." I say looking in his eyes. I cupped his cheek with my hand. "It was a dumb question, I knew you didn't, I don't even know why I asked it in the first place," He said, looking around, avoiding my eyes. "Ringo..I-I do," I whisper in his ear. He turned ever redder. "Y-you do," he repeats. "I do," I say, giggling. "You do!" He says, seeming happier. "Do you..have a crush on me," I ask him. "Of course I do, sweet darling," he said, hugging me. I looked into his eyes, them his lips, and back to his eyes. My lips pressed against his. Ringo put his hands through my hair and kissed me deeper. He slowly pushed me to the ground, his hands on my waist. I was enjoying this, but I knew it would go too far. I slowly pulled away from the kiss. My eyes met his as I kissed his forehead. "We should go to Geos house," I say, breaking the silence. "Yeah," he says, helping me up. "We didn't do any work though," he said. "We can do it when we come back," I said, with a smile. He smiles back at me. "You have the cutest grin," I say, pushing his cheeks together. "Lets go," he says putting my hands down, and holding them.

He knocked on Geos door. "Oi, were here lad," he said. Geo soon opened the door. "Welcome. I see you two made up," George said smiling. We both looked at each other and smiled. "Ok..come in," he said, seeming a bit suspicious. "So, how did 'studying' go," John said, putting studying in air quotes. "It went 'well'," I said, mocking his air quotes. "Why is everyone putting words in air quotes?" Ringo asked, confused. "You of all people should know. The only thing you guys were studying was anatomy," John replied.  The other boys started cracking up while I was blushing, and I don't even think Rings knew what was going on. "Do you get it?" Geo asked Ringo. "No. We weren't studying anatomy, it was maths," Ringo said confused. At this point, I was hysterically laughing, like the rest of the boys. "What? Explain it to me. Please," Ringo said to me. I looked in his eyes. I couldn't find it in myself if to say nothing. "When two people love each other very much, they want a child, and to make a child, you need to have se-" I was cut off by George covering my mouth. "Alright,  thats enough," he said.

"Wanna play a game? John asks us. I look at Rings and nod. "Sure," I said. "What about spin the bottle? That was fun last time we played," George said, winking at me. I look over to see Ringo looked like he wanted Geo dead. "I don't know," I say, looking at Ringo.  "Its fine, lets play," Ringo said. "Since when did you need Richies approval for things?" Paul said, grinning. "Since they made out instead of studying," John said. "Shut up and spin the bottle already," I say, blushing aggressively. "Ringo, you seem awfully quiet, wanna go first," John said. I pat his thigh. "Why not," he said. He spun the bottle and it landed on..himself? "Does this mean I get to choose?" Ringo said, looking at me, then looking at the floor. "No, this means we get to choose. Only the boys Ace," Paul said. "Childish," I whisper to myself. After waiting a while Paul finally had something to say. "We have made our choice. However, we made some changes. We get to ask you a question, and you get to kiss the person who is the answer," Paul said. "What?" I say, confused. "For example, we can ask Ringo who he would like to do the dirty with, and he would probably kiss you..hopefully," John said. "Ok," I say, a little grossed out. "Ringo, who would you want to do the dirty with?" Asked Geo. I immediately began shaking my head. "None of you," he said. "You have to choose someone," John said. "Only because I have to choose," he said, and he walked over to me and kissed me. I kissed him back passionately. He started slowly moving to the ground and my hands gripped his thighs down. "Ok, we get it, thats enough," said John. "That was not a friendly kiss, something happened," Paul said. Ringo and I both looked at each other and laughed. "Just friends," I said to him. "Now how in the bloody hell," he muttered to himself. "My turn," I said, spinning the bottle. It landed on John. "John, who here has the biggest dick," I say, laughing. The rest of the boys looked at John. "It cant be Paul, maybe George?" He said. "Yeah, im going with Geo," he said, as he lightly pecked him. "Worst kiss ever," George said. Ringo walked over to Georges record player, scanning his records, until he found one he liked. I noticed to cover and knew it was a Frank Valli record. I heard the beat and immediately knew the first song. 'Cant Take My Eyes Off You'. "I love this song Rings!" I say, walking to him. "May I have this dance malady," he asked holding his hand out for me. "You may good sir," I say, grabbing it. He was actually dancing, quite good actually. He started singing along with it. "Pardon the way I stare, theres nothing else to compare, the sight of you makes me weak, there are no words left to speak," he sang beautifully. The boys watched you and Richie dance, and sang along with it. I put my head on Ringo's shoulder, and he swayed me across the room. He tightened his grip around my waist. It was adorable. He swiftly took my hand and spun me around, dipping me into a kiss. It was like a movie. One of the boys kicked Ringo's leg and he lost his balance, falling on top of me. "Ow," I said, falling on the carpet. "Im so, so, sorry are you ok? Are you hurt? Is anything broken? Are you bleeding?" Ringo asked. "Im fine, it was a scratch," I assured him. "And you're sure?" He asks again. "Very, very sure," I say. "But are you sure that you're sure that you're sure?" He said. "Yes, im fucking fine," I said getting up. "Im going home. Night boys. Goodnight Ringo," you said, leaving. "Night," they say. "Wait! Can I walk you home, I don't want you getting hurt," Ringo said, grabbing my wrist. "I don't live too far from here," I reply. "I know, but I need to be sure," he says. "I guess so," I say to him, sighing.

"You ok?" he asks as we walk towards my house. "Ill be fine, I'm just thinking," I say to him. "Shit, I never got you caught up," I said, remembering what we did. "Ill be fine," he says. "Skip third period, Ill get you caught up then," I said to him. "I cant skip! I have too much work to do," he says. "Ill get McCartney to catch you up then," I say to him. "We're almost at my house," I tell him. "Ok," he replies. We make it to my doorstep. "This is it," I say to him. "Can I ask you a question darling?" Ringo says, grabbing my hand. "Anytime drummer boy," I turn to him, giving him a smile. "Do you want to go on a date sometime? I was thinking I could pick you up around 8 and we could go to dinner somewhere," he said, with his adorable smile. "Yeah, Id like that very much," I answer him. "Bye," he says, leaving. "Hey, don't leave just yet," I say, grabbing his hand. He turns around and I kiss him. He kisses me back, pulling my closer to him by my waist. "Goodnight my sweet darling," Ringo says to me. "Goodnight my drummer boy," I watch him leave. It makes me sad to see him go, but I do get to see him tomorrow.
