John Lennon- Secret LOVE affair?

John Lennon of the Beatles, who has not been seen with his wife Cynthia in almost a year, has been spotted in the heart of London with... another woman? To any outsiders, the dinner would have seemed like any romantic candlelight between a couple, but to fans, it is a confusing sight. The woman, who has been identified as Yoko Ono, is a notable figure in the art community, more specifically, in the avant-garde. Not much is known about what their relationship is, but this isn't the first time the couple has been seen together in an intimate context.

To our knowledge, John is still married to Cynthia Lennon, who also mothers his four year old son, Julian. The family has not been spotted together in recent times, nor has the press seen any of his wife and son at all. At first, the assumption was that it was a choice of privacy, but sources say otherwise. We have yet to hear from Lennon himself, leaving many wondering- Is the marriage between John and Cynthia over? We can only speculate at the time, but the answer is almost certain: yes (cont. on pg 5).

With a calm smile, Paul's gaze fixed itself on the aeroplane window, looking at the clouds below him. Those clouds were still English ones, as Greece wouldn't be close for a while. Nevertheless, the company of his inner circle left him untroubled in the quiet and private jet. Paul was surprised he hadn't heard more noise from his friends in the aircraft, but was content with what he had.

Seats were arranged in twos, everyone sitting next to the partner of their choosing. To the surprise of no one, John and Paul grouped together as they always had. But they weren't talking or laughing. John was asleep next to him, looking deep into his slumber. A light grin appeared on Paul's face as he peered over to his quiet counterpart.

The plane was boarded by John and Paul, of course, but there were also other members of his social group. George's wife's sister Paula, friend Magic Alex, friend Mal Evans and friend Alistair Taylor were among the friends visiting Greece with them, ready to enjoy a few days of relaxation. George and Ringo had left a day in advance, however for personal reasons.

One of the great parts of this trip was the fact that they had been granted diplomatic immunity, giving them access to do almost anything they wanted in Greece. Of course, they weren't going to murder anyone, but John had stashed a bag of drugs that they were anticipating to explore. Paul hadn't been too keen on the idea of spending the entire trip high, especially after a small scandal about him admitting to taking LSD, but at least it wasn't illegal for them to do it here.

Taking another sip from the drink on his tray, Paul noticed out of the corner of his eye John beginning to shift out of sleep. Paul turned completely towards the man sitting next to him as the person who was previously asleep began to open his eyes.

"Mmmm," John groaned, still half asleep, "are we there yet, luv?"

"You know, we've only been in the air for about twenty minutes," Paul said, taking another smug drink from his glass.

There was another audible groan that escaped John's lips before he gave into the time, resting his head on Paul's shoulder.

"Wake me up when we get there," was his final mumble before closing his eyes.

"Just promise me you won't wake up every twenty minutes to ask me the same thing," Paul said jokingly, almost to himself as John was barely listening. He didn't fail to notice minute contact from John's head sending a warmth through his chest. He would've enjoyed it to its full extent if he didn't have to turn around every second to make sure no one was watching.
