Devil In Her Heart (John Lennon fanfic)

Chapter 110.

John walked with me back to the hotel later that evening after just two beers. I would have loved to keep drinking but as much as I was having fun, I didn't need to make it a routine of waking up every morning after drunken threesomes.

George ended up meeting Richard at the club. God knows where Paul was. I hope he was alright.

Just as we walked into my hotel room, John grabbed my hand and pulled me close. I watched as he took my hand in his and brushed his fingers over the ring.

"You're wearing it." He whispered to himself and smiled.

"Yeah well, It's been trapped in that box all these years without any kind of care. I thought it's about time I gave it some love and reminded it of it's purpose."

He laughed and shook his head. "You've just described myself."

I leaned up and pressed my lips to his. His lips slowly caressing mine until we pulled away.

"You've always apologized to me. I think it's time I apologize to you." I said lightly  squeezing his hands.

"Luce, ye got nothing to apologize for."

"Yes I do."

"For what?"

"For giving up on you. When things didn't go the way I wanted, I just left instead of dealing with them."

"I hurt you. I deserved the pain. I'm just so grateful to 'ave ye in my life again. It's just so unfortunate you're not mine."

I walked over and sat on the edge of the bed. "Let's just have fun yeah? I'm sure it's been quite some time since you've just been able to have fun."

"I just want to have fun with you." He said sitting next to me.

"Come on John." I moved behind him, wrapping my arms around his neck and kissing his cheek slowly. "You're single. No more attatchments. Girls everywhere." I slid my hand down his shirt, his breathing becoming uneasy as I whispered in his ear. "Must be so frustrating sometimes."

He nodded and turned his head, kissing me with hunger. I smiled and began unbuttoning his shirt and sat back, pulling my own over my head.

Four Days Later

August 27, 1964

During our entire break, Jane tagged along causing tension and arguements among the group. But once we arrive in New York tomorrow, she was well off on her way to England to be with the blonde she devil.

We were in Cincinnati now as I sat with Michelle having lunch and talking about work. It was nice having a girl to talk to. They just understand certain things a guy  can't. Like now.

"Michelle? Tomorrow we head back to New York and...I don't know if I'm going to keep tagging along with you all anymore."

"What d'you mean? You can't just leave me all alone."

I smiled and shook my head. "These past few days have been great. I mean they've reminded me of how much I love John and, how much I really miss him."

"What's so bad about that?"

"I don't want to keep leading him on. I mean I love him a lot but..I can't go back to that lifestyle. I have a good job and friends, a normal life at home. And I'm happy with it."

She nodded and bit into an apple slice. "I understand. Paul's asked me to come with him to England. He um..told me tomorrow he's breaking things off with Jane."

I raised my eyebrows. "Really? It's about time he left that trash. So, are you thinking of going?"

She shrugged. "I don't know. I don't want to lose my job and leave my family. Like you, I have a life here in America."

"Seems like we both have some thinking to do. We head to Detroit September sixth. I know this tour has been fun but...once they head back to England, that's when reality starts again. I just hope you're happy with whatever decision you make."

She smiled. "I'm glad to have someone to talk to on this tour. I'd probably go crazy being on my own."

I laughed. "I feel the exact same way."

We finished our food and made our way back to to elevators. I felt my stomach turn as we waited.

"Oh god." I said holding my stomach.

"What's wrong?? Are you okay?"

I nodded and held my stomach as the pain went away.

"I think it was just a cramp. It'll pass." I said feeling a bit nauseous.
