A Rock & Roll Romance

Sixty Six

"So do you need a lift?"
"A lift?"
"To the meeting?"
"Johnny it's at your HQ. That's three doors down, is it not?"
"Yeah but I have to be the big boss man in the meeting when really I just wanna spend time with my girl."
"You will be spending time with me! I'm in the meeting."
"Yeah as an employee!"
"Babe, you HIRED me!" Meg said giggling as she held her phone to her ear darting around her bedroom finishing getting ready.
"I know and I'm glad I did. I just wish we were already together when we were in Italy. Think of the fun we could have had." Johnny chuckled before she heard him take a drag of his cigarette.
"J?"
"Yes?"
"Are you even ready?"
"Define ready?" He chuckled once more.
"As in ready to leave your house?"
"Ha. No ways."
"Johnny! The meeting starts in 30 minutes!!"
"And I'm the boss..."
"Oh that's it lead by example." Meg giggled
"Fine fine fine. I'll get ready and walk to yours. Be ready."
"I am always ready before you."
"Ok see you in 10. Love you."
"Love you too." Meg said with a smile before hanging up.

"You didn't need to knock for me." Meg said pulling her hair out her collar as Johnny stood on the doorstep lighting a cigarette. "I did. You're my girl." "Well that's very kind of you.. thank you." Johnny blew the smoke away from them both before leaning and capturing her lips. He pulled back before smiling "it feels like it's been ages since we've spent any proper time together." "Johnny it's been four days." Meg giggled as they began to walk. Her heeled ankle boots making noise against the sidewalk. "Well can I come by tonight?" Meg blushed. "You never need to ask."

"So the film premieres at the festival, we'll get some pre marketing done with some BTS things, Meg I'll leave the scheduling to you?" Gina said from the teams call that was on the laptop at the end of the long desk. "Sure thing G." Meg replied sweetly beginning to take notes. "I imagine, we'll want a full campaign Johnny?" Stephen asked from beside his wife on the call. "Yes I think so. Whatever we can get." Johnny replied. He was lent back in the executive chair, with one leg bent over the other rolling a cigarette. "And you'll walk the Red carpet?" Christi his sister and president of his American production company asked from opposite. "Yes if I have to." "Most directors do boss man." Isaac said from beside her. "We can capture behind the scenes stuff of that, a bit like Cannes. Meg are you up for the job?" "Won't you be there?" The woman replied shocked. She didn't think she'd be on the promotional tour with Johnny. "Yes but I'll be playing wife and supportive best friend, besides I have a feeling your content is the preferred." Gina giggled as Johnny smiled looking at his girlfriend. "Umm ok sure I can do that. Will you send me the details?" "Nathan, provide Meg with a full schedule, in fact my entire schedule for the year. We'll need to align for a few of the projects and events." Johnny said before lighting his cigarette casually. "What?" Meg said shocked again. "Press, red carpets, interviews." Gina began saying checking her own notes. "You'll need to be access all areas especially for socials." Meg simply nodded before biting her lip nervously. Was she now her boyfriend's social media manager?

After the meeting wrapped, everyone began gathering their things as Christi shut the laptop. "John you fancy an early dinner?" She asked her brother who took his eyes of his girlfriend and looked at his sister shocked, hoping he hadn't been caught. "Ummm..." "Go..." Meg whispered quietly. "You too Meg. I'd love to get to know you more." "I'm sorry?" Meg said blushing. "The girl who has captured my brother's heart... let me treat you both." This made Johnny scoff before reluctantly accepting, and the three jumped into a waiting SUV a short while later.

Around an intimate table at a luxury restaurant an hour or two later, Christi and Meg were belly laughing whilst enjoying a glass of wine. "He did not!!" Meg said giggling. "He did. He claimed he was being a rockstar." Christi smirked at the expense of her brother. "Ok ok pipe down." Johnny chuckled. "I like hearing stories about when you were little." Meg said gently rubbing his forearm. "Who said this was when he was little, it was last year." Christi giggled making Meg laugh once more, whilst Johnny rolled his eyes.

"Christi is amazing. You're lucky to have her." Meg said as she put the key in the door to her home in the late afternoon. "Yeah. I am. She's wonderful. In fact they all are. I'm a lucky guy." Johnny said making his way into the house. "It's quiet." He added. "Poppy started her job today that's why." "Ahhh so we are home alone?" "Yep... well until they fire her and send her home." Meg giggled hanging her coat in a nearby closet. "Then I'm afraid I must insist on taking you to bed." Johnny approached seductively. "Oh really Mr Depp? I might just take you up on that offer." She said with a smile before he whisked her off her feet and carried her bridal style up the stairs. "You know you really don't need to carry me all the time." "I know." He said before kissing her. "I can walk.." she whispered back. "Just let me carry my girl to bed... besides you won't be able to walk after I've finished with you..." "is that a promise Johnny?" Meg giggled and it went straight to his groin. "Doll it's been four days. It won't take long.." he smirked before throwing her onto her bed and winking.
