Somewhere Boy

Chapter 18

Robyn and John walked over to John's bedroom, Robyn allowing John to lean against her as they walked. She opened the door and let John in first, then walking in after him and closing the door. She looked at him; he was making his very unsteady way to his bed. He laid down on his back, then having Robyn walk over and try to sit him up.

"Come on now you need to take off your suit, we don't want to ruin it, do we?" She lightly mocked Mimi's voice, helping John take off his jacket and throw it on a chair. He looked up at her and smiled drunkenly.

"Are you going to help me pull off my pants?" He slurred, his eyes stuck to hers. She sighed and stepped back, motioning for him to stand up. He followed her instruction and she began to unbuckle his belt and take it out of the loops, placing it neatly on a chair. She then stood up straight, looking at John.

"You do the rest while I find one of your shirts to sleep in," She undid her hair and fluffed it out, turning around and looking through his drawers. John pulled his pants off, almost falling many times, then tossing them to where his other clothes were. He then turned towards his bed and fell face down on it. Robyn took out a white polo shirt, then unzipping her dress as far as she could.

"John? Can you help me a bit?" She asked, looking at the man who grunted in response. After a second he got up from bed, walking over to unzip her dress all the way, then slipping his hands inside her dress from the opening and meeting in the center of her stomach. She smiled a tad.

"Thank you, you're so sweet," She turned her head a little to face his, patting his cheek with her left hand. He gave her neck a quick kiss and buried his face in her shoulder.

"You smell like roses and strawberries," He slurred together, gaining a chuckle from her.

"Thanks Johnny," She replied, kissing the top of his head, "I need to get out of this dress now, so go lay down." She told him gently, causing him to groan in response yet tear himself away from her and stumble a few feet to his bed, climbing onto it and getting close to the wall. He had his eyes open a little as Robyn undressed, exposing nude colored underwear as she pulled on his shirt. It draped just above mid-thigh, as she turned around towards him and smiled.

"Move just a bit," She said, grabbing the blankets John was laying on. He moved so she could pull them up, then climbing into the bed and draping it over the two of them. John slithered his arm around her waist, laying his head closer to hers, Robyn moving her legs so John's could fill in the shape. She felt a kiss on her head.

"Night lovely," He slurred in a softer tone.

"Night," She replied, placing her arm over his and using her other to hold her head up a little. The young couple slowly drifted into sleep in no time...

The next morning Robyn woke to John rustling in the bed. It was barely light out, sending a rich orange-red color to fill the room. She turned her head, seeing John jolt awake. His breath was heavy and his forehead had little beads of sweat. She turned fully, placing her delicate hands on his cheeks, directing his head and eyes to hers.

"Hey, whats wrong?" She asked, her voice soft. He furrowed his eyebrows upwards, lifting a hand and placing it on hers. He softly smiled, his shoulders relaxing as he scanned her. Robyn watched this, confused. She kept her same sympathetic aura though, in case the curiosity really did kill the cat, or in this moment, cause John to breakdown or something of that nature. He moved his head slightly, kissing the palm of her hand, then looking back at her.

"Sorry, it was a dream," He replied, his voice sleep-ridden. She nodded just before he pressed his lips against hers. He kissed her sweetly, being very gentle, feeling out the shape of her lips with his. He pulled away a little and wrapped his arms around her body, going into a hug as he buried his head into her shoulder. She hugged him back, lightly taking her hand and tracing useless lines across his back.

"What time is it?" She asked, hearing birds chirp outside. He pulled away from the hug and reached above him, tilting his clock. He studied the face.

"Early." He fell back to the bed and looked at her, "Why do you ask?"

"Oh, I never checked in with my mom and I'm sure she's at least a bit worried." She replied, fixing John's hair out of habit. He nodded swiftly.

"We mine as well get up and dressed, don't you agree, love?" He said, sitting up. She sighed and nodded, getting out of the bed and fixing the shirt to go back to mid-thigh. She walked over to the dress she wore the night before and went to pick it up.

"No, no, I have something you can wear instead so you're not in an alcohol-drenched dress, Robbie." He got out of the bed and held her hand, taking her away from the dress on the floor. He opened his drawer, picking out a white button-up. He held it up so he could scan the shirt, then gave it to Robyn. He went back to his drawers, digging to find something she could wear for pants. He took out a smaller pair of jeans, holding it up for his viewing before giving it to Robyn. He closed his drawers and looked at her before grabbing a belt of his.

"Wear this. The jeans might be a little loose in the crotch but don't mind it." He winked, causing her to giggle lightly. He then left the room, letting her get dressed in private.

She walked out of the room, giving John a small spin to show off her outfit. She decided to pull the jeans to her waist, then add a belt. The crotch was big, but she didn't mind. She buttoned up the shirt but tied it at the bottom. John looked at her in awe.

"You're the only one I know who can make that work for you," He commented, pulling her into a hug, seeing Mimi in the corner of his eye. Robyn hugged back, seeing her too.

"Hey, you two, I've made some brekkie for you in the kitchen," Mimi said, smiling at them softly. John and Robyn thanked her, walking downstairs to find some eggs and toast laid out on the table. The teens sat down with plates and forks, collecting some food onto their plates.

"This is amazing," Robyn spoke just after swallowing a bite. John looked up at her and nodded.

"It really is," He then set down his fork, "Whats the schedule for today?" He asked. She looked back at him and picked up her napkin, holding it over her mouth as she quickly swallowed her eggs.

"Well, are you and the band rehearsing?" She asked. John nodded. "I'll join ye'." She said, causing John to smile and thank her.

"We have two more members this time 'round, George Harrison and Pete Best. The others left it behind, so, its just four lads." He replied. She raised her eyebrows and nodded. The two finished their food and cleaned their dishes, walking past Mimi and thanking her for the meal as they left Mendips.

The two walked on the sidewalk, the wind slowly picking up as Robyn fixed her hair. John looked at her, realizing that she left her sunglasses behind. He smiled at the thought, feeling warm that she was feeling more comfortable in her skin. He used to feel like that, and helping out someone else with the same feeling made him happy in a completely different way than usual. She looked back at John, smiling softly at him. She slipped her hand in his as they walked, John's guitar in his other hand, to Paul's place for rehearsal.
