Misery (John Lennon Fanfiction)

Part 26

Amelia's POV:||
He greeted me with a grin
"I know we said we'd meet there but what kind of gentlemen would I be if I let you walk all alone"

"Oh whatever would I have done without you" I smiled, welcoming myself under his arm.
We walked, slowly enough so that we could savour the moment, but fast enough so we could get out of the cold. Typical of the weather in Liverpool, sundress weather on Saturday, raincoat and wellies on Saturday. I was not wearing a raincoat and wellies however, that's no way to dress for a date, rather a skirt and blouse with thick black stockings and a cardigan underneath it. I was counting on John to provide me any extra warmth I might need, to which he delivered.

"We've never been out like this have we" he said, shrugging off his coat and sitting down in the arm chair across from mine.

"Well, not really" I smiled, getting comfortable.

"I missed you... I really did" he chuckled, looking up at me and fixing his fringe, he combed his hair back properly as he talked "even though we were 'together' there was just uh, a disconnection y'know"

"I feel the same way" I sighed, stretching a little.

He ordered some cakes and tea to munch on while we spoke. Did this count as a real first date yet? Or was this just setting out the ground rules for the future dates? If there were going to be any?

"These look amazing" I smiled as our food was placed in front of us.

"They're alright" he smirked, looking up at me as he brought his cake closer.

"Corny" I prompted

"Charming" he argued, taking a piece with a tiny cake fork

"John, how are you?" I asked with a smile, poking at my cake which looked too pretty to eat.

He dropped his fork onto his plate and coughed a little "Sorry?" He had to have some tea just to wash it all down.

"How are you?" I furrowed my eyebrows a little. He nodded a little

"I'm fine, fine. Better now that I'm with you" he smiled, switching seats to sit beside me

"What's the matter?" I said, setting my hand on his chest.

"Nothing, nothing just the usual y'know, Mimi an all that" he sighed with a reassuring smile.

"If you say so" I shook my head, taking some of my picturesque cake.

"C'mere" he smiled, wrapping my little frame up in his strong arms.
