Alice's P.O.V

January 5, 1975

Today Linda, Laura, Helen and I were going to Abbey Road to start recording our new album. I was searching the bedroom for my song journal which had all the lyrics.

"Paul! Have you seen my song journal?" I asked. He came into the bedroom with it in his hand.

"Thanks Paul. You're my hero" I said.

"You left in the basement" he said. I took my journal from him and stuffed it in my bag.

"Darling, I think I deserve a reward, don't you?" Paul said.

"What were you thinking Paulie?" I asked.

"I'd love a kiss" Paul said. I gave him what he wanted.

"Are you sure you don't need me to come with you?" Paul asked

"I'll be fine. You stay here and have some father-daughter time with the girls" I said

"Fine, but expect about fifty phone calls from me" Paul said. I giggled and kissed him again.

"I love you, y'know" I said

"I love you too" Paul said.

When the girls and I got to Abbey Road, George Martin greeted us. He was helping us with the album.

"I'm excited to be working with you girls again" he said.

"We feel the same way George" I said.

"Shall we get started then?" he asked.

"Are we ready girls?" I said, looking in their direction. They all nodded.

"Yep. How about we start with Mamma Mia?" I said.

"Sounds good to me" George said.

We had gotten through Mamma Mia, Hey Hey Helen and Tropical Loveland before we called for break.

"Hey Alice?" I heard Laura say.

"Yes sis?" I said.

"Do you know when we're supposed to tour again?" Laura asked

"I don't know. I'll ask Paul about it" I said.

"Have you ever thought about just having Angels tour?" Helen asked

"I guess not. It's just Paul and I do everything together, so Wings and Angels touring together seemed like a good idea" I said

"Maybe having Angels do their own tour wouldn't seem like a bad idea. You should talk to Paul about it" Linda said.

"Alright. I'll talk to Paul about it" I said.

"Alice, you have a phone call from Paul!" George called for me.

"Tell him I'll be there in a moment!" I said.

~

"Hello? Paul?" I said when I answered the phone.

"Hi, love. How's everything going so far?" Paul asked.

"Everything is going great. I have something to tell you" I said

"I do too. John called. He said that Yoko is pregnant" Paul said

"Really? That's great! We should go and visit them sometime" I said

"What's your news?" Paul asked

"Well I've been talking to the girls and we've been discussing the idea of Angels doing their own tour" I said

"Really?"

"Yeah. I know how much you like it when we tour together, but we think it'd be fun for Angels to tour on their own for once. Please don't be mad" I said

"Why would I be mad?"

"Because I know how much you like when we tour and perform together. I don't want you to feel like I don't need you anymore"

"Love, you know that's not true. Besides, I've always needed you more than you needed me. Who was there for me when The Beatles broke up?" Paul said

"I was" I replied.

"I'm always going to need you more than you need me. If it wasn't for you, I probably even wouldn't be around anymore" Paul said

"Paul, you know there's times when I've needed you more than when you needed me. Like when mom died, when I miscarried, or even when my father was hospitalized" I said

"I guess we both need each other. More than we think we do. When do you think you're going to finish up? I can't stand another minute away from you" Paul said.

"I'll be home as soon as I can, I promise" I said

"I love you so much my darling" Paul said

"I love you too" I said. With that, I hung up the phone. I smiled to myself, and I felt my eyes brimming with tears. Look at me. I'm so in love that I start crying.

"Alice, are you-" Linda joined me, and stopped her sentence, "honey, why are you crying?"

"Lin, is it possible to be so in love that it makes you cry?" I said. Linda smiled and brought me into a hug.

"I guess you can be" she said.

When Linda and I got home, it was later than I had hoped it would be. I opened the door quietly, not wanting to  wake anybody that could be sleeping.

"I'm going to get something to eat and then I'm heading to bed" I whispered.

"Goodnight Alice" Linda whispered back. I went into the kitchen, only to find it lit up with candles and rose petals covering the floor.

"Maybe I'm amazed at the way you love me all the time" Paul's voice sang. I smiled as he came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Maybe I'm afraid of the way I love you" His chin rested on my shoulder, and I rested my head against his. I placed my hands over his.

"Maybe I'm amazed at the way you pulled me out of time, and hung me on a line" Keeping his arms wrapped around me, Paul turned me around so that I was facing him. He let his forehead rest against mine. We swayed together slowly as he sang to me.

"Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you" he breathed softly against my lips. We kept swaying together in silence, enjoying each other's company.

"Paul?" I whispered softly.

"Yes, my love?" he said.

"Kiss me. Kiss me like this was the last time we were ever going to see each other. Kiss me as if we were both going to die in a matter of moments" I said. Paul's soft lips were on mine. His kiss wasn't too passionate or too chaste.

It was full of love.
