Devil In Her Heart (John Lennon fanfic)

Chapter 64.

The guys were off practicing as I sat on a chair, eating a bagel. Everything was labled in German so I just had to sniff things to figure out what everything was flavored.

I was sniffing a pastry when I heard someone pull up a chair next to me and sit.

"I think it's blueberry. I had one earlier. It was pretty good."

I turned to see Pete sitting next to me. I smiled at him.

"Thanks. So um..Hi." I blushed.

"Hello. How are ye feeling? John told me you felt a bit under the weather."

"Oh i'm fine now. Just hungry and confused." I laughed. He smiled and leaned over.

"This I think is a plain bagel, that is a weird looking croissant and I don't know what the hell that is." He pointed at some long curly thing. I giggled and shook my head.

"One day we'll be used to all of this. So um, are you sticking with the band for awhile? Cause they tend to go through drummers like crazy."

He nodded. "Yeah. Had to sign a contract and all sayin I wouldn't quit or leave. So um, i'm stuck with all of ye."

I smiled. "Have you met Paul before? Because I was told he was the one that brought you by."

"Yeah we 'ad met at a gig."

"John doesn't give you a hard time?" I asked taking a bite from a bagel.

"Sometimes but I know he's trying to just keep the band in line."

I laughed sarcastically. "Yeah well, meet the girl that keeps him in line."

He smiled and looked up stage at the guys. "I dunno how you do it."

"What d'you mean?"

"Deal with them all. Paul's told me a few things about ye."

I looked at him. "Really. Like what? How much of a whore I am?" I scoffed.

"No actually. He had a lot of positive things to say about ye. Sure at first he said you weren't worth John's time but then he said that once you came into his life, John's really matured and began to take the band seriously. He thought you'd meddle into the band and try to turn John against everyone but...he was wrong. He needs you."

I was a bit shocked by this. Paul hated me but...he actaully liked having me around. Of course he'd never say this to my face but, it was good to hear it from somebody. I smiled to myself.

"..He also mention how easy you are." He laughed and shook his head. "He calls ye a succubus."

All good feeling towards Paul are out the window now. I sighed.

"Did he also mention how he wants John to be with his ex girlfriend and threw boiling water on me when he caught me and George kissing!?"

Pete stayed quiet and looked down. "I..I didn't know that."

"Right. Well Paul sure has a hell of a way of expressing his emotions. There was once a time when we were friends. I don't let it bother me anymore. John loves me for who I am just the way I love John for who he is."

"John's not completely faithful. You know that right?"

"I know. But neither am I." I smiled to myself.

I was a bit surprised when I felt his hand move over my thigh. I felt his hot breath on my ear as he spoke.

"Yeah well, if John can't satisfy ye anymore. You know where I'll be."

I pulled back and smiled. "Oh believe me, I won't be calling you anytime soon."

"Yeah? We'll just see about that love." He winked. There's only one cocky bastard I'll put up with, and his name is John Lennon.

I stood up and grabbed my coat. "Suddenly, I lost my appetite. I enjoyed our little conversation Pete. But now, I have a small interview to get ready for."

"Mm yeah John told me your little magazine is goin to be interviewin the enemy, Rory Storm. Have fun with that love. But I think friday night, you'll realise which band has the better drummer."

I walked up to him and laughed. "You sound so sure of yourself. We may have a Best, but um, they have a Starr. Which one sound more promising to you? Think about it." I smirked and walked away.
