Devil In Her Heart (John Lennon fanfic)

Chapter 88.

I was sitting on the floor in my room writing and eating peanuts.

"Wow these really are good."

Just then I heard voices outside the door. I got up and looked out the peephole and saw them. God they were so much taller and looked mature. I hope I looked the same. I ran over to the restroom and fixed myself up. Brushing my teeth, fixing my clothes, fixing my hair. I sighed and walked out, grabbing my things, slinging my bag over my shoulder and took a deep breath heading outside.

I walked down the empty hall and looked at the note Brian gave me with their hotel room number on it. I stopped at their door and knocked slowly. It took a few seconds before it opened.

Brian walked out and smiled. "Hi Luce. Come in."

I walked in and looked around and heard voices in the other room. I swallowed and felt a nervous pain in my stomach. I took a few deep breathes.

"...Dunno why we 'ave to do this bloody interview."

"They 'ave enough time to slag off my band over and over again but can't ever write a decent fuckin article about us."

"Shh I think 'es 'ere."

Brian walked into the next room and talked to them. Telling them to behave, answer the questions and don't be rude. I just heard sighs and scoffs as I listened.

"Alright they're all yours." Brian smiled and left the room. I thought about just running away. Just hitting the road and forgetting about that promotion. But I had to do this.

I walked slowly into the room, clutching my notebook and pen as they looked up at me. I gave them a small smile.

"Hi. Um, I'll be the person interviewing you tonight."

They just froze and watched me as I sat in the chair across from the sofa, where they were sitting. I turned a page in my notebook and looked back up at them. I noticed John looking in shock as he watched me. I just shrugged it off and went to the first question.

"So, you guys are a pretty huge deal in England. What are some of the differences you've noticed your first day in America?" I asked, surprised by how relaxed I sounded.

"Oh fuck the questions...Lucy..holy..fucking hell." Paul smiled getting up and giving me a huge hug. I smiled and hugged back and was met with another pair of arms.

"Hi Richard." I giggled as he kissed my cheek. George came over and gave me a tight hug and a huge kiss on the cheek.

"I missed you."

"I missed you the most." I smiled.

John didn't even look at me one bit. He just looked upset.

"Alright off with the questions then huh?" John said flatly.

"John don't be rude. It's Lucy you're talking to." George said.

"Who? I don't know a Lucy. Never 'ave. Well, get on." He said giving me a cold stare. I bit my lip and stood up.

"M..maybe I can come back later.." I said turning on my heel and leaving the room.

"No..Lucy wait!" Paul yelled running after me. I felt a pain of hurt throb in my chest as John's words echoed in my mind.

"I don't know a Lucy. Never 'ave."

I pushed the pain away and sighed. I'll be dammed if I let Lennon hurt me again. I spent four years of it. I'm a new woman now.

I turned around as Paul stood in front of me. "Y..you're so beautiful." He whispered to himself. I blushed and smiled.

"You don't look too bad yourself."

He smiled. "Thanks. Look, don't listen to John. He's just being  selfish prick. He's been like that ever since..." He trailed off. I just nodded.

"Whelp, maybe I can come back in the morning. Maybe he'll cool off then."

He nodded. "Sounds good. It's so good to see ye Luce. Ye stayin 'ere?"

"No I'll probably be headed home after this. I was staying in a room just down the hall waiting. I just want sleep more than anything." I laughed. He nodded and looked around. I could hear the guys in the other room talking.

"Look um, we'll be staying here for a few days and um.." He handed me the room key.

"Why don't ye come by sometime? We can get reacquainted with each other."

I smiled. "I'd love that."

"Good. I'll walk ye out. Again i'm sorry about LENNON THE PRICK!" He yelled. I giggled and walked out.

"I missed your laugh. I missed you."

"I missed you too Paul. All of you."

"All of us?"

I smiled and looked down. "Yeah. All you."

He nodded and heard a glass break. "Bloody hell. I better go look after the children. Please Luce..come by soon."

"Bye Paul." I smiled and turned on my heel, laughing to myself as I heard Paul yell.

"Don't make me call Brian!"

..

It was late in the evening as I gathered all my things, getting ready to go home when I heard a knock on the door. I smiled to myself and put my cigarette out, listening to the eager knocks. I opened the door to see a lopsided grin on his face.

"Took you long enough." I smirked.

"Did ye get my last letter?" He said kicking the door shut behind him. I nodded and moved my hand up, brushing my thumb over his eyebrows.

"Do they know?" I asked.

He shook his head. "Not a clue."

"I missed you."

"I missed ye more." He whispered and picked me up, crushing his lips against mine. I kissed back, tangling my fingers in his hair as we made our way to the bed.
