The Little Twister Girl (A Beatles Fanfiction)

Misery (Chapter 42)

"Yeah, we have plans for another movie, but I can't tell anymore!" John says, laughing as I stand away from the crowd. George and I decided to go back with John and Ringo when Paul left. "Unless you give me a few more drinks."

A few chuckles are heard from the reporters, and I smile. It's been like this for majority of the night, and the boys haven't had any fun. Paul didn't get drunk like he wanted, and George ended up talking to some men about the upcoming album.

I would say I'm bored, but that wouldn't be fair. This is the most exciting thing I've done in a while. I look at Paul, as I play with the wedding ring on my finger. He smiles and laughs to the reporters, despite the argument we had earlier. He must have gotten very good at that sort of thing.

I move my eyes to George, who's smoking and fixing his hair for the camera. It's gotten a little longer, and he coughs.

"In fact, life's been a little more exciting with Carol around!"

I widen my eyes and look at John. I hope he knows what he's doing because I don't have much experience answering many questions. I turn my attention to Paul, as he smiles just as coyly as he always does.

"Is that so?" Ringo says, and I smile at the journalists once more. I don't want to appear nervous or anything like that.
"I agree. In fact, I think it's just what Paul needs."

"In fact, come 'ere." John says, motioning for me to come over as I bashfully shake my head. I don't like the press at all and I feel very anxious.

"Go."

I turn around to see George as he winks at me and one of the reporters swiftly takes my hand. I'm forced to play this game, I suppose.

"I'm sure Paul could do better." I hear one of the female reporters say and I feel my heart sink. I look down at the floor, and move my feet. "So many girls in America pine for him - I'm sure there's better out there." Despite this line of questioning being awkward, I feel guilty somehow. Maybe Paul can do better.

"Me?" Paul says, causing me to look up at him. I guess he heard the woman, as she looks at him in surprise. I bet she didn't want to Paul to know.

"Well, no, I-"

"It's alright, love." Paul says, and I feel tears start to form. I deserve this, I really do. I deserve to be embarrassed in front of hundreds of people.

"I don't think you really know who Carol is." Paul continues. I plead internally for Paul to stop, as I look around. Everyone is looking at us.

Paul looks at me and we make eye contact for a second. His hazel eyes soften and he smiles warmly. The last time I saw him smile like that was so long ago.

"There are a lot of things I don't like about Carol, sure. I mean, we're married for goodness sake." Paul laughs, and I grimace slightly. Paul proceeds to slip his hand under mine, and his thumb softly strokes my palm. I relax slightly as he continues.

"Despite the flaws she has, I couldn't imagine myself with another woman. I've tried my whole life, believe me." Paul looks to ground and coughs. "So please don't put down Carol because, despite recent events, I love her."

I look at Paul, as he laughs bashfully. John slaps his back playfully as some swoons are heard from the audience. I hide my face slightly since it's very hot and bashful.

"So about that movie..."

"What a night, huh?" Paul says, closing the door behind us as we enter our room. I slip off my heels and nod. He doesn't seem angry anymore and I smile. I don't want to fight with him so I decide to let the whole 'Gina thing' go.

"I'm sorry."

I quickly look up at Paul as he sits on one of the two beds. I stop what I'm doing as I listen to his words.

"I-I didn't mean to act childish. I didn't mean to run away, to say all those things to Gina, saying that I didn't want you to come."

Paul lowers his head so that his hands cover his mouth as he talks. I sit in front of him and our eyes connect for a brief moment. It's electrifying looking into his eyes.

"It's okay, Paul. I'm not upset." I say, although I was before. Live and let die, I suppose.

"I know you are." Paul says, as he reaches for my hands and strokes them once more.

"I just can't stand you and George."

I look away from him as he talks. It's understandable why but I've made it clear many times we are just friends. Paul has every right to not trust me but I wish he would give me a chance again.

"I'm sorry." I say, and I feel my eyes begin to tear up. Damn it Carol, you always do this at the worst times. I look down as some fall down and I hug my chest. I hate crying in front of others, especially Paul.

"Baby..." Paul says, as I look up at him, embarrassed and bashful. Paul moves over to my bed and wraps an arm around me. I move closer to him as I weep slightly.

"I'm sorry, baby. I'm so sorry...I was beyond cruel today." Paul says, rubbing my arm as he holds me close. I wipe my tears as I turn to him. His eyebrows furrowed and his eyes soft.

What did I do to deserve a man like this? I need to pull myself together. Paul is who I decided to be with him and I think it's only fair that I treat him that way.

"You're so beautiful." Paul says, as I laugh slightly.

"Thank-"

Paul softens his eyes and moves his face slightly closer to mine.

"What did I say about saying thank you?"

His lips meet mine, and I close my eyes softly. I wrap my arms around Paul's neck as he caresses my back. I run my hands through his hair as he slightly pulls back.

"That's what I want." Paul says, and I bite my lip slightly.

"I love you." I say, and for the first time, sincerely. Paul widens his eyes slightly as he grins.

"Really? Honest and truly?" His eyes light up slightly as I chuckle.

"Honest and truly, I do." I say, as I kiss him tenderly. I feel Paul's lips form into a smile as he holds me closer.

Not a moment too soon either, as there is a knock on the door and the intimate moment we share is interrupted with urgent news.
