Love You To

===============================

While John was getting ready for tonight, I must've fallen asleep. I rolled over in the bed, still groggy from the unintentional nap I took. Looking beside me, I noticed John wasn't there.

Shooting up out of bed, I saw a light glowing underneath the washroom door. Loud slamming could be heard from behind it... What the hell is he up to?

"John we gotta go in fifteen- What're ye doin?" I barged in and asked, watching him search through our washroom drawers frantically.

"Lookin' for my glasses, they've bloody disappeared." John rested his head on the sink.

"Ah yes, so let's send the blind man to search for somethin'." I began to help John look for them. That is until I saw in the bedroom... they were sat on the table by our window.

With a smirk, I slowly crept over and placed them on my face.

"No clue where they could possibly be, Johnny..." I sighed.

"Yeah, me neither." He slammed the drawers shut and looked up at me.

After studying my body for a moment, John's eyes lit up. "Macca!" He stood up and snatched them off of my face. "Ye gotta stop doing that, I'm blind as a bat wi' out these."

"Clearly..." I snickered to myself as I turned off the light.

"Anyroad, we're 'sposed to meet the others outside the motel before we go." I announced while staring at the tiles.

"Yeah well, hopefully we aren't that late." John walked over to me, placing his hand under my chin and planted a kiss on my lips. "Thanks to ye." He joked.

I grabbed my bass, tossing the strap of it over my shoulder and heading out the door with John.

"Took ye two long 'nuff." George said, putting his hands in his pockets.

"Oi! Don't be bitter now, Geo, 'least we're here, right?" I patted the boy's shoulder.

George shifted his guitar a bit, "Let's jus go before we're any later than we are now."

What's got him all cranky?

I reeled back a bit and furrowed my brows, "Al- Alright."

We walked outside of the motel and hailed the nearest taxi. It stopped with a loud screech and we all shuffled into the seats in the back.

"Where to, fellas?" The driver asked, turning around to face us.

"Uh- The... The Star-Club, Sir." Richard told the man.

"Wonderful." The man backed off the side of the road and into the main street.

I looked outside the window and looked up at all of the tall buildings towering over all of us, John placed his hand on my thigh and smiled at me. I smiled back at him and then looked over at George, who was staring longingly through the glass.

"Geo?" I asked.

"What is it?" He looked back at me.

"Ye alright?" I replied.

He stayed silent for a moment then looked back out of the window.

I shot back into my seat and looked at John, "Do ye know what's got him upset?" I whispered.
