After dancing like literal children for a good minute or two (or more) we decided, it's finally time for serious business. Paul took a notebook out of his bass's case and started flipping through the pages. "Wha are you gonna do then?" I look at John with a sarcastic like look, him looking back at me with his almond shaped eyes. "Well ye'll just have to find out." He gave me a silly little face and then faced Paul, turning serious as soon as he laid eyes on the lad. "We could maybe try 'Memphis Tennessee'?" John suggested, receiving a shoulder shrug from his mate meaning that they could do it.

And so they started strumming away. John was singing in such a soft yet forward way, telling the story of how he met Marie. It was a pretty nice song, although i couldn't keep my eyes of Lennon he was just taking my breath away. He'd give me a few glances while he was singing and some smiles, and that just made me want to stare at him even more.

After the song ended, Paul told him some corrections he can make throughout the song but other than that, that was amazing "I thought it was fantastic fellas." I patted John's shoulder "Well, to Paulie there was a bit of mistakes i made tha didn't make it sound fantastic." John cackled and received an annoyed look from Paul "Well i wasn't the one tha was distractin' ye with googly eyes!" McCartney shot back, pointing at me and giggling out. At that moment my whole face was like a red hot chili pepper- what in the god's name Paul?! Oh well next time i see ye doing the googly eyes on a lady I'm gonna call ye out so badly! "Ah, me angel face always gives me googly eyes." John grinned my way and moved his eyebrows up and down. All i could do was giggle nervously, I'm so nervous. My face is heating up and turning pink, i need to calm down i swear.

Soon enough they were thinking of songs they can write themselves and playing some tunes. My eyes were just stuck on John playing, his side profile was so unique and beautiful i just couldn't take my eyes off of him. "Does anyone want tea?" Mimi was heard from downstairs, making me and the boys turn our heads to where her voice came from. "I'm up for a cup, you?" Paul spoke, looking at John who simply nodded. I shook my head and muttered a quick "I'm good", Paul got up and left his bass leaning against John's desk and went to go get the tea from Mimi.

After McCartney left, John turned to me and chuckled "Wha would ye think, if i started me own band with Paul?" He spoke, laying down on his bed "I would visit every gig, every tour, I'd be everywhere!" I exclaimed a bit, making both me and John laugh out. We stayed in silence for a while just enjoying eachothers company, soon Lennon sat up and looked at me in the eyes "Did ye ever find me intimidating?" He said whilst keeping a straight face. I looked back at him and was taken aback a bit. Him being this close to my face made me flushed and all nervous "I-i mean, in general you didn't seem THA intimidating honestly, yer first appearance was kind of intimidating, but just for a short period of time." He squinted his eyes and raised an eyebrow at me. I swallow nervously and stare down at him, but he stared back, a serious look, leaning closer and closer "How abou' now?" He says, smiling innocently at me. I swear he's doing this on purpose, i hate him. I shake my head quickly which made Lennon pull himself back and chuckle to himself "What's so funny? Huh, Johnny?" I make a comeback and look at him, he scoffed and looked away "Just yer reactions are funny, angel face." He grinned and looked my way, to admire my red ass face. I have no idea what's happenin', it's like he knows what I'm thinking and wanting from him.

Finally, Paul returns with the tea and breaks whatever John and i were doing. "What's happenin' here ey?" He says in a mom like tone, shutting the door behind him with his foot, sitting back down on the chair and setting down the tray of tea. John and i stay silent, awaiting Paul to ask us another question we might not answer "Well then, if yer havin' intimate time i can leave." He says, starting to slowly stand up, but we blabbered to him to stay. We brushed that scene out of our heads, like it never happened. I'm the only one that cannot stop thinking about it though, every second feels much like hours and i cannot stop thinking of what John just did.

Soon the day came to an end, me and Paul were walking away from Mimi's house after getting the final goodbye from John. Paul is a good lad he is. We walked in the same direction, thinking that Paul might even live near me. "Ye really do like him huh?" Paul spoke up, before blowing out some smoke from his cigarette that he lit up. I turn my gaze to him and see him holding a light grin on his face "I mean- is it that obvious?" I question him, giggling lightly. "Yeah, veeerry obvious actually." He chuckles out and gives me a shoulder nudge. I mean, i don't really hide it too well do i now? It's pretty obvious. "Do ye think I'd have a chance?" I look up at him, frowning a bit as he thinks for a moment "Maybe. He did talk about you the last time i saw him, before practice of course. He sounded like a kid talkin' about his new toy!" He put a picture in my mind of how John was talkin about me. It actually made me blush pretty good when he said that "He mightt like ye back Y/N." He gives me a duck face and pulls another long drag from his cigarette. "Y-you think? I mean-" he cut me off by standing Infront of me and putting his hand on my shoulder "Ye won't know until ye try." He grins and plops the fag back in his mouth, starting to walk a different road ahead of me, waving at me and leaving me at that.

I think for a moment and picture it in my head. It won't harm to try. Right? I figured out a plan and took a deep breath, rushing back home and immediately going to my room and crashing onto my bed, getting greeted by the sound of my cat meowing in my ear. "Hey Misty. Sorry for always bein' so absent and never havin' time to spend with ye.. but I've got a date to think about.." i speak to him, knowing damn well he didn't understand a thing i said.

Tomorrow I'll redeem myself, and make some things happen.
