Till There Was You (George Harrison Story)

Chapter 13

Dinner was awfully quiet. I wanted to say something, but I couldn't. And I knew that George noticed that something was bothering me. He paid for lunch and we got back into his car.

"Are ye sure yer alright? Ye seem very quiet." He asked. He placed his hand on my knee, and I flinched as I moved my leg away from his hand. "What did I do?" He asked and I sighed. "Can you please just bring me home?" "Fine. Then let's go home." "No I mean my actual house. With Mimi, Ruth and Jace." His eyes widened with confusion as he looked over at me.

"Why are ye angry with m-" "Can you please just drive?" I said as calmly as possible, and he gasped as I said what I said. He started the car and started to drive. The car ride was silent. Pure silence. I felt horrible, but I wanted him to be honest with me. Is that too much to ask for?

He parked the car in front of the house and I quickly got out of the car. "Brielle! Can we please just talk?" He said, quickly getting out of the car and running to me. I continued to walk to the house and I grabbed my keys and walked in. Jace sat at the kitchen table and looked at us with a confused look. "Hey Bri. What are you doing back? It's been a while. And hey George." He sipped on his coffee and watched as I stormed off to my room.

"Wait! Bri!" He called out, but Jace went towards him and stopped him from following me. "Go home. I'll talk to her and get her to calm down. Then when she's ready, she'll come to you and talk." George sighed and agreed to do that, so he went to his car and left. I watched him leave from my window and I laid on my bed. I loved George's bed more, but I definitely missed my bed. It was where George and I first made love...

I cringed as I thought about him. Maybe I was overreacting. But my gut is telling me I'm right for reacting this way, because it shows that he isn't completely honest with me. "Can I come in?" I heard Jace's voice from outside my door. "Yeah come in." He opened the door slowly and sat next to my legs on the bed. "Trouble in paradise? You seem pretty upset. George didn't seem too happy either." He took another sip of his coffee and looked at me intently, just waiting to hear what I had to say.

So I began to explain to him what had happened and he just let me talk and he listened. "You have every right to feel the way you do. But the longer it takes to address the situation with him, the longer it will take to fix things. Do you really want to lose him over something small like this?" And He was right. Like he always was.

"I guess. But I'm not ready to talk to him yet." He smiled and rubbed my shoulder comfortingly. "Of course. You can talk to him tomorrow." I looked at him confused. "I meant more like next week!" "Oh no, love! You gotta fix this soon! I was planning on making some extra money on the side by renting your room out to people who need it." He blew me a kiss and exited the room fast. What did he just say? He really wanted me to just move in with George, didn't he? I laughed to myself and decided to rest a bit before tomorrow.

After a little nap, I got up and decided that I would just talk to him now instead of tomorrow. Jace said he would take me over there, which I thanked him for, and I packed a lot more of my clothes this time. Just in case everything worked out and I would be staying there again. If not, I'd just return with my clothes.

I got into his car and he drove over to George's house that I gave him the address for. "Now remember, be calm and listen to what he has to say." I nodded as I fixed my outfit nervously. I took my stuff and kissed Jace before he left. I saw George's car, so I knew he was home. I rang the doorbell and he opened it a lot quicker than I thought he would. He helped me bring some of my bags in and he gave me a small smile.

For the first time since I walked in, I looked at up at his eyes and noticed he was crying. "Are ye r-ready to talk?" He smiled, trying to divert my attention away from his tear-stained face to his humor. But it didn't work. I nodded and we walked to the couch.

"What happened? We were fine this morning." He asked and patiently waited for my response. I took a deep breath. "I saw Pattie kiss you." His eyes widened. "And you pushed her off, which I'm happy about. But it just bothered me that you never thought to tell me. It made it seem like you're not being honest with me." He sat up and ran a hand through his hair. "I'm sorry, love. You're right. I should've mentioned it. But there's nothing else I haven't told you already." He grabbed my hand and held it tightly.

"I just hate the fact that yer mad at me. It's killing meh." He kissed the back of my hand and sighed. "So what now?" He asked, and I smiled. "Well I forgive you, Geo. Now let's move on and learn from this." Smiles spread onto our faces as we hugged each other. "Ye can just sit and relax. I'll bring ye clothes upstairs." He took my bags to his room and hung them up in his closet, which he made space for my stuff and his.

He soon came back downstairs and placed his arm around me.

Were we moving a bit fast? Yes. Did I care? Not really. I just think that life's too short, y'know? Either one of us could be gone tomorrow. So I want to live my life. And that includes loving the heck out of George.

The night ended off pretty well. We just watched tv and talked to each other about what was on or what shows we did and didn't like.

Once it was a bit late, we decided we didn't want a replay of what happened that morning, so we went to bed a bit earlier than usual. I washed my face and got ready as George hopped out the shower and put some underwear on to go to bed with. I watched him as he got into bed and it made me smile. I'm lucky to have him.

I finished in the bathroom and got into the bed with him. "We wouldn't be waking up late in the morning if ye stopped dressing like that for bed. It turns me on."

He said with a sly smirk and I slapped his shoulder. "Calm down. We don't want what happened this morning to happen again, right?" He shook his head and turned off the lamp. "Goodnight, Brielle." He kisses my forehead as I closed my eyes. "Goodnight, Geo."
