How I Won Your Heart

Chapter 3: Baby It's You

I rushed back over to Sarah to tell her the news and I could barely contain my excitement.

"You are not going to believe what just happened!" I told Sarah.

"What did he say? What is his name?" Sarah asked.

"His name is John and he invited us to come back again tomorrow! He said I was the most beautiful girl he has ever seen!"

"Aww that's so cute! We have to come back tomorrow! He sure looks like he fancies you!"

"Yeah, I hope so. I just hope he isn't setting us up or anything"I worried.

"Why would he do something like that? He seems like a pretty nice guy to me. Don't worry about it!"

"Ok, well I guess we better get back home if we are going to be out late again tomorrow!" I said.

"That's true! Let's head home!" Sarah said.

As we headed home, I couldn't stop thinking about this mysterious man named John. I hadn't seen anybody like him before and there was something different about him, although I didn't know what. I couldn't believe that someone like him would want to talk to me, but soon I would find out why.

As I went to bed that night I couldn't stop thinking about John. He was so charming and different and I couldn't wait to get to know him better. I was still worried that he was setting us up or he would just end up being a jerk but I decided I was going to give him a chance.

I woke up the next morning around 10 am, since I was so tired from last night. I wasn't used to staying up that late and I knew it was going to be hard to do that two days in a row so I was sure to drink a ton of coffee with my breakfast.

Sarah didn't seem to be too worried about staying up late again or meeting John and the rest of his band mates. This made me feel a bit better about this situation but I was not going to let my guard down.

The day went by pretty slow because we didn't do much but soon enough, the night rolled in. It was around 5 pm and we were planning to leave a little bit earlier this time so we wouldn't miss anything. As we headed to the Cavern, Sarah couldn't stop talking about meeting John's band.

"Aren't you the least bit excited? I can't wait to meet his band! The bass player was pretty darn cute!" Sarah said.

"I am more nervous than excited. What if his band hates us and this is all just a game?" I questioned.

"Anette, you worry too much! Let's just go and have fun! And even if he is setting us up, who cares? We can still have a good time!"

I really needed to listen to Sarah more often. She was so carefree and didn't worry about anything. I had mad respect for her because of that.

We arrived at the Cavern and as we walked in we saw the band playing. I was so relieved to see that they were there. They were playing the same songs from last night, but I didn't mind because they were so great!

We made our way up to front of the stage and John must have noticed us because he flashed me that beautiful smile of his. Throughout the night I was singing along to their songs, well at least trying because I didn't know them that well. I was really enjoying the music and I got kinda lost in it because I totally forgot we were meeting his band later that night. Then, the nerves started to kick in and I could feel my stomach churning.

I told myself to relax and I tried to hide my anxiousness. I definitely did not want them to know that I was nervous!

After they played their last song, John and his band met us by the side of the stage. They were all so handsome and I had never been so nervous.

"Hey, Anette this is my band! This here is Paul McCartney, our bass player!" John said.

"Hi, Paul I am Anette! Nice to meet you!" I said. "This is Sarah, my best friend!"

Paul and Sarah looked at each other and I could tell that they had a liking for each other already. Then John introduced us to their lead guitarist, George Harrison. He was very quiet and seemed like a very nice guy. Then lastly, we met Ringo Starr (his real name is Richard) the drummer and the newest member of the band. He was very nice and outgoing and he seemed like a lot of fun. His whole band was very charming and Sarah seemed to be getting along great with Paul.

"Say, why don't we take this somewhere a bit quieter? It's a bit loud in here." John said.

"Sure, how about we go out to eat somewhere?" I suggested.

"That sounds great! Is that good with you guys?" John asked the rest of his band.

They all agreed and we headed to the nearest restaurant that was fairly quiet.

As we sat down at the table, I sat across from John and Sarah sat across from Paul, while George and Ringo sat together. We gave our orders to the waiter and waited for our food to arrive.

"So Anette, what do you think of my band?" John asked.

"Well, you are all very handsome and you play great music. What more could you ask for?" I laughed.

"I am the most handsome one of all, right?" John teased.

"Of course, John." I winked at him and I knew this would be the start of something good.

"Do you have a boyfriend, Anette?" John asked.

"Do you think if I had a boyfriend I would be on a date with you?" I said.

"So this is a date now?" John said, raising his eyebrows.

Damnit, I should not have said that. How could I be so stupid?

"Well, um, er-" I said nervously.

"It's ok, we can call it a date. That's fine with me. I am thankful I could take a pretty bird like you out!" John said, taking both of my hands across the table.

I tried to hide my face because I was blushing very bad, but I didn't seem to work.

"Aww Anette is blushing!" Paul yelled.

I was humiliated. I could not believe that just happened. I was blushing even more now and I knew that hiding my face was not going to help now.

"Hey, leave her alone Paul! Don't be an arse!" John said.

He gave me a wink letting me know it was alright and I started to feel a bit better.

Throughout our dinner John and I talked about many things and I began to learn a lot about him. He seemed to be pretty interested in me and I was definitely interested in him.

We finished our meals and we walked outside and started to say goodbye to each other. Sarah and I each said goodbye to George and Ringo, then we went our separate ways to say goodbye to John and Paul. I could tell Sarah and Paul fancied each other and I was very happy for her.

I said goodbye to John and he gave me a hug. He was so warm and he smelled so good, I never wanted that hug to end. I felt kinda awkward because he was going to let me go and I think I held on a little too long, but he didn't seem to mind. Sarah said goodbye to Paul and he placed a kiss on her cheek. John saw this and I guess he thought he had to do this too, as he placed a kiss on my cheek. His lips were so soft and right then and there I wanted to snog him, but I knew that would be too fast.

As me and Sarah we driving home, I took my jacket off and I felt a note in the pocket. I pulled it out and I started to read it.

Dear Anette,

Tonight was wonderful and I would love to see your beautiful face again. My number is written on the other side of this note and I would love for you to call me so we can meet up again. Have a good night and sleep well!

Love,

John
