A Rock & Roll Romance

Eighty Three

Johnny was silent, dumbfounded in fact Meg thought he looked at if he had been hit in the face with a frying pan. She blinked a few times to hide the tears that were pooling, maybe just maybe it was too much too late? She couldn't blame him if it was.

Eventually, Johnny took a step forward. "Firstly.." he practically whispered before stubbing out his cigarette, and continuing the walk towards her. "You look absolutely beautiful, stunningly beautiful." He said with a smile as his arms wrapped around her middle and crossed over at her lower back. "And you're always my girl, whether you're involved in this circus or not." He swallowed before saying, "Are you sure? Are you really sure you're willing to do all this?" He asked kindly. She nodded. "I would do anything for you Johnny." He smiled completely touched at her gesture. "But you know there's no going back?" She giggled at this, "Johnny. I shopped until I dropped this morning buying this dress and others that I will need to wear if I'm to be seen with you this week, I went to an insanely priced hair salon to have highlights done that I've only ever daydreamed about, and got my make up done by the priciest most camp make up artist I think I have ever met, then drove two hours here, I can do this." She said proudly straightening her shoulders and standing up straight. "Well I have to say, I'm re falling madly in love with the new Meg, not that there was anything wrong with the old one." He lent in and kissed her passionately before pulling back. "So, will I do? Will you have me?" She asked nervously. "Only if you'll have me.. and all my baggage." He said before they kissed once again, and Johnny chuckled. "What?" She asked confused. "Better not kiss off all that hard work from your camp make up artist hey?" She bashfully smiled before tucking hair behind her ear. "Johnny, it's gone half 7." She said glancing to the clock on the wall. "Well Johnny Depp is always late. It's kinda like my trademark now, especially when I am in the company of a beautiful woman."

The pair arrived at the red carpet and Johnny squeezed his girl's hand, he knew she was nervous but she carried herself differently. After a brief conversation on the way to the event he now felt confident that she was going to be ok. "I know you love me, and I love you and everyone else can like it or deal with it." She had said just before they climbed out the vehicle and greeted his screaming fans. Johnny held her hand tight as he lifted his other to wave to the crowd. He slowly approached them to sign autographs and take selfies, happy that Meg chose to remain close by. One girl even complimented her dress which made Meg beam baring in mind she had only chose it off the rack that morning, and albeit rather expensive she was happy that somebody else liked it. Johnny looked on proudly at the interaction before guiding his girl to pose for the press.

Their names were yelled over and over as Johnny guided Meg throughout the whole process, she felt his hand reassuringly stroke her back before they re held hands and entered the building for the festival.

That evening, the pair giggled to one another as they fell through the door of Johnny's hotel suite. Meg instantly noticed her luggage had been bought to the room and her dresses were hung up ready for the following days ahead. "Nightcap Angel?" Johnny asked and she nodded kicking off her heels and admiring the view from the suite. Johnny slowly approached handing her a tumbler with a slug of whiskey in it. "You look ravishing. I'm the luckiest guy in the world." He raised his glass and took a sip of his drink. "Johnny.." Meg said touched. "I mean it.. and the fact you did all this for me. Most women would have bailed at the first nasty headline but you're strong, you're amazing." He said proudly and she smiled leaning into him. "What you said earlier..." he said looking down at his petite woman. "I said a lot of things earlier..." Meg said bashfully. "About me being the best thing that ever happened to you...." "Yes?" She questioned. "Is that really true?" He asked. "Of course. By far." She said with a smile instantly. "Wow... besides the children, you're it for me." He said smiling, she could tell he was uneasy opening up so much. "Johnny. You don't need to say anything... I know it's complicated for you." "No it's not. It's really not. I love you.. and I want you. In my life. Through the good, the bad and the ugly." He said with a smirk. "I'll be there..." she said proudly before they kissed passionately.

The next morning Meg awoke to a loud banging on the bedroom door "Johnny I really don't want to but I will come in there!!" It was Sean and he didn't sound too pleased. "Johnny!!" Meg shook Johnny awake and he groaned loudly. "Darling I was mid dream of me and you naked.." "well it's about to be a nightmare if Sean walks in here and we are both naked..." "Ok ok I'm up!!!" He yelled to his security guard before sitting up. Meg quickly found Johnny's shirt from the floor where she had thrown it the night prior in the heat of the moment and donned it before heading into the en suite, soon followed by her handsome boyfriend. "My clothes suit you." He said kissing her neck. "Johnny you're late!! Again!!" She giggled as his hands wrapped around her. "I don't care. They won't mind once they see how fucking gorgeous my girl is.." his fingers got lost in her hair before he admired it once more. "I really do like it.." he said with a smile before reluctantly jumping in the shower.
