The New Girl in Town

Who Is It?

I sat there, strumming my guitar for at least 30 minutes.

Nothing special, no song. I was just speechless, with thoughts roaming around.

"Lily?" John walked in slowly.

"Are you alright, love?"

I sighed, No, I'm not.

"Yes, John. I'm fine" I lied, not once looking at him.

"Yeah, right. Come on, Lily. What's going on?" He sat next to me.

"Who is this Yoko Ono?" I looked at him.

He looked at me oddly, putting his arms around me.

"Darling, I told you she's no one. She's some artist who's looking for money. I'm simply promoting her art."

I stared at his eyes, trying to find some lie.

"I don't fully believe that" I said coldly.

His smile disappeared, he let go of me, sighing.

"Believe whatever the hell you want then" He mumbled while getting up, he then started to walk away.

"John, she keeps calling here everyday. She won't even give me a message for you. It can't just be money that she keeps calling for" I put my guitar down, getting up.

'What? Do you not trust me?" He got up really close to me.

My heart raced, "I-I trust you, J-John. It's just-"

"It's just what! I can't go out once without being yelled at! Or even get a call from some woman who just seeks money! God, Lily!" He shouted at my face, lifting his hands up.

I gasped, covering myself, falling to the floor.

No, No!

"Don't! John, please" I whimpered.

I can handle yelling, but he raised his hands like he was about to slap me, that scared me. I haven't been in a fight with another man since Dan.

"No, no..Lily.." John's voice went soft and gentle. He crouched down to me, holding me.

I started to cry.

"Shh... Lily, you know I'll never hurt you. Never. I'm not Dan, I will never be Dan. I'm sorry.." He stroked my hair.

"I-I'm sorry, John. I really do trust you, I just worry.."

"Worry about what? No other bird can please me like you do" We both laughed, that remark caused me to blush.

"I love you, Lily. I don't want no Yoko Ono, or any British gal, or even any other American. I just want you."

~~~~~~

He held me for about an hour, we sat there talking.

"Would you ever want any more children?" John hesitated but asked me anyway.

"Of course! Not to replace Amy or anything, but children are great!"

John chuckled.

"What about you, John?"

"Well, of course I'd love to have children."

"With you" He murmured, causing me to blush.

"I'd want to be a better father than my own though, he left when I was five. The last time I saw him he-" I interrupted him.

"He wanted you to give him money, I know, I was there!" He chuckled softly.

"You're not on a rush for marriage, are you Lily?"

"Nope. I wouldn't mind, but we are perfect the way we are." I kissed his cheek.

"I agree..."

I trust John. I love John. I can't be so worried about this Yoko.

~~~~~

John and I sat there on a bench at the park.

We decided to go out to the park like we used to.

John's arm was around my shoulder, "This is lovely isn't it?" I looked at John.

"Not as lovely as you" John smirked.

I giggled, "Why are you always so cheesy!" I smiled.

John shrugged, "Can't help it. You make me feel like Edgar Allan Poe, I'd die without you"

I smirked, "Mhm.."

"Um, excuse me?" A woman approached us, dressed all in black.

"You're John Lennon, yes?" I squinted my eyes at her, I know her..

"Yes, I am." John nodded.

"It's me, Yoko Ono." My eyes widened, no, no..

"May we speak about my artwork, over there?" She pointed to a tree, much farther away from the bench.

John looked at me.

I nodded, "It's fine, John." I assured him.

He kissed my cheek, walking the other way with Yoko.

Just art, huh?

~~~~~

After that awkward moment, when John returned he said we should get going now.

"Why is the art business consider so much chatter, John? I thought it was just money?" I held John's hand as we walked back home.

"It is, it's just this whole... money thing varies, that's all. It's always more, I guess. It's fine though, love. We have plenty of money to give to her if needed." He squeezed my hand.

"Alright.."

John stopped walking, and twirled me in for a hug.

I giggled, "John, what are you doing? People are staring" I looked around.

He smirked, "Let them stare.."

He dipped me, then planted a passionate kiss on my lips.

Once the kiss was broke, he whispered to me, "I love you" He smiled.

"I love you too" I whispered back.

 I didn't realize, but people around us started taking pictures of us, and cheered for us.

I blushed, John grabbed my hand and we had to run home because we caused many people to turn our way.

Luckily, we lost them.

~~~~~

We got home, John pushed me against the wall.

"I've missed you" He whispered.

"What do you mean? I've been here all this time" I chuckled.

"I know, but we've been so.. distant" He kissed me.

"Then follow me.." I guided him towards the bedroom.

"Ah... this magical room" John smirked.

"Indeed, some magic that isn't such a trick." I giggled, kissing him.

We fell onto the bed.

I haven't felt his touch in so long.

I moaned as he started to bite my neck.

That was a night that'll be unforgettable.
