Ain't She Sweet

Chapter 9- And I Love Her

I watch Maureen mindlessly insult Angie. Fire builds up in my body. I stand up to confront her but Paul grabs my shoulders. "Don't." He whispers so only I can hear. "That's not a way to talk to our Angie." George says.

Angie stalks up to her and says something we can't hear Maureen stomps out of the house. "Thank god she's gone!" Angie cheers. "What a pain in the arse. Ringo, why'd ye even take her out? She's a total brat." George says snickering.

Paul keeps humming the same tune he was earlier. "Bright as the stars that shine...." He sings softly. "Dark as the sky...!" Paul jumps up and grabs George's acoustic and a pad of paper.

He scribbles down the words he was singing. A new song! "Sing it Paul!" I say. He fiddles with the guitar and plays around with the strings and got a rhythm going. "I'll grab me guitar!" I jump up and run upstairs and grab me guitar.

I race downstairs and I see Angie strumming the guitar. "Allow me to join?" I ask. She smiles and nods. Paul sings softly. "I give her all my love, that's all I do. And If you saw my love you'd love 'er too. And I love her."

I listen to Paul's sweet and melodic voice drift in the air. Ringo taps his foot. "She gives me everything and tenderly, the kiss my lover brings, she brings to me. And I love 'er." Tears brim in my eyes. "I love it, Paul." I hug him. "It's inspired from ye." I stare at him wide eyed. "Really?" I ask. He smiles. I kiss him on the cheek.

"We have to show Brian this one. He'll like it!" George exclaims. "Yeah! Wait! We need to figure out the beats to the song." Ringo ponders. "Let's get this on sheet music. And the rest will flow out from there." John explains.

"What are we gonna do today?" I ask. "Hmmm...." John thinks. "What about we have a lazy day.....?" Paul says clinging to the guitar. "That sounds fun!" I squeal. "Alright! I'll grab the candy!" John jumps up and grabs my hand. "But we're in our pjs Johnny!" I giggle. "Oh well! Society can dress nice for us once in a while!"

I do the cuckoo sign. George snickers and Paul nods in approval. "Are ye gonna come Rings?" I ask. "Nah I'm gonna eat." He smiles. John and I run out into the streets like banshees.

"John! They're gonna see ye!" I squeal. "So?!" He laughs. We make it to a deserted convenience store and we barge in. "Hello sir-" the man looks up and his eyes bulge out of his skull.

"Yeah yah blah blah please please me." John rolls his eyes and uses his hand as a puppet. I giggle. "We just want candy." I shrug. We raid the candy aisle. We pile the candy on the check out. "Uh Beatle discount?" He says sheepishly. The man is shaking. "Uh yeah sure t-take what y-you want." We grin at each other. We set a 20 pound bill on the table.

"Thank ye sir!" We run out of there with candy in several bags. "Thank god no one's out today!" I yell. I look behind me. John's face flashes fear. "ANGIE!" He runs in super speed and flings me over his back. He stumbles onto the sidewalk with a 'thud'.

"Oh me god John!" I yell clearly confused. "Ye were 'bout to be hit by a car !" I stare at him. "What?" I ask. He nods. We get up and I brush the dirt off of my clothes.

I hug him and start to cry. "It's ok. Yer alright now princess." We walk home with the candy. "Hey, cheer up. Do ye want some chocolate?" He asks. I nod.

We open the front door to the house. I cling to John's arm clutching it for life. "Yay Annie and Johnny's home!" Paul says in a sing song voice. "What's the matter, love?" Ringo comes up. I let go of John I run to Ringo. "John?"
