Till There Was You (George Harrison Story)

Chapter 64

For the next couple of days, we traveled around since George had appearances all over the US. But like everything, it was over. We headed back home, and now George was free to get back to his music and I was able to get back to Simon and Ringo at the studio, and get Barbara over here as well.

We made our way back into the house and was greeted by Adam, who took care of Cleo while we were gone. "Welcome back." He said, and smiled at us. "Thanks again for all of your help!" I hugged him and George placed Zuri's car seat down. "Yeah, thanks again." George said, and Adam said bye to Cleo and left. "Wait!" I said, running to him and handing him money. "For all the trouble." He smiled and took it. "Thank you." He flashes his teeth-filled smile and headed to his car.

I went back inside, and Cleo ran up to me. "Wow, you're getting big!" I petted her as she jumped up onto my legs and panted excitedly, her tail wagging. "I missed you too, girl!" She placed her legs back down on the floor and quickly went over to Zuri.

She noticed that Zuri was sleeping, and pushed the blanket that covered her closer to her, and Zuri held onto the blanket. Cleo sat next to the car seat and placed her head on it, as she seemed to be waiting for Zuri to wake up. My heart fluttered as I witnessed all of it.

George looked over at Cleo and Zuri, and smiled. "By the way, I'm taking ye out tonight." He whispered in my ear, wrapping his arms around me- my waist. I'm even starting to talk like him. Ugh. "And where are we going?" I looked over at him and he smiled. "That's a secret. I can't tell ye."

"George, you've had secrets and surprised me way too many times. I think it'd be best if you just told me." He let go of my waist and chuckled. "That was low, Brielle." "Well cheating on me and flirting with another women is low too, George." I could tell I pushed too many buttons. His face expresses hurt and regret.

He reached back to the back of his neck and rubbed it. "Then forget it." He walked away quickly towards his office. "George, I was just-" He walked into the office and slammed the door shut. I slightly jumped, and I felt guilty. My mouth can get me into trouble sometimes. As his wife, I'm supposed to help him with his problems, not rub them in his face and make him feel more guilty about it than he already is.

I picked up Zuri's car seat and brought it to her room, with Cleo behind me. I took her out of it and placed her into her crib, and I took her shoes and clothes off so she could rest better.

I left the door open so Cleo could leave when she wanted, even though it didn't look like she was going to leave any time soon. I headed towards George's office room and I knocked. When he didn't respond, I reached for the door knob, but it was locked. "George... please open the door." I heard soft shuffling around before he opened the door.

"Yes?" He said, peeking his head out from the door to show that my presence wasn't welcome. "I'm sorry about what I said earlier. But you know I wasn't wrong. It's just the way I said it. I'm sorry." His face contorted in confusion. "That's not an apology." "George, I said that I'm Sorry." "It's fine. Whateva." He said in a soft voice and returned into the room, closing the door behind him. "If you still would like to go out later, I would be happy to." I said, the guilt feeling more real than before, and I walked to the bedroom.

I laid on the bed and sighed. The thought of us not being compatible filled my head. It just felt as if we weren't compatibles sometimes, but my love for him was stronger than I realized. I decided to take a small nap. Maybe that would help me calm down and just forget everything for a little while.

"What are ye doin? Yer supposed to be ready." He sat next to me and woke me up. "W-What?" I asked as I sat up. "Our date. I called Ringo to watch Cleo and Zuri for us." He fixed his blazer as he looked at me. "I'm sorry about earlier. I acted in a childish manner. Ye were right. I don't treat ye well. But I want to prove to ye that I can and will treat ye better from now on." I pulled him in for a hug, which he returned before I jumped out of bed. "I have to get ready!" George watched me with a smile on his face as I ran around the room, getting ready for our date.

"Brielle, slow down love. Take your time." I walked out from my closet. "I'm done!" I looked at him, and he looked back down at me. "Ye never disappoint when it comes to yer clothes." He laughed softly and I wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Thanks, Geo. You know, I want you to know how much I really love you. I love you so much that even though you did cheat on me, I couldn't stay away." George smiled back, placing his arms around my waist and pulling me close to him. "And I love ye too. I'll show it to you a lot more from now on. I promise." I kissed him, and he kissed me back.

"Shall we be leaving?" He asked and I nodded. He let go of my waist and he took my hand in his, and we headed to Zuri's room. George picked her up and kissed her cheek. "Mommy and Daddy are going out, alright? Be good to Uncle Ritchie, okay?" He stroked her cheek softly and smiled at her. "I know you'll be a good girl for Uncle Ritchie." I said, stroking her cheek as well. She rested her head on George's shoulder and wrapped her tiny arms around his neck. George rubbed her back softly and sighed happily.

As he did that, Ringo rang the doorbell and I went to open it as George followed with Zuri. "Hey, Zo!" Ringo said as he entered the house and took Zuri from George's arms. "Thanks again for agreeing to watch her and Cleo." "It's no problem at all! Have fun you two!" He waved, and Zuri watched and gave us a weak wave. "Aww! Bye baby!" I said, waving back at her before getting into the car with George.

"Where are we heading to?" I asked, and George drove out of the gate and onto the street. "It's a surprise."
