I refuse to give up on him like this. I'm not going to let my family fall apart.

"I don't understand. You're making it seem as if you never cheated. You were making heart eyes with your assistant Olivia. You had an on-going affair with your best friend's girlfriend! So you should be the last person talking about feeling betrayed. You betrayed Ringo, and you betrayed me. Everything you're feeling right now, I've felt it before, and probably more. And like I've told you, IT WAS A MISTAKE AND I REGRET IT."

"Don't ye think I know that? I know I betrayed everyone. But it hurts so much that ye betrayed me. Me own wife. Someone I thought I could trust. I think it's best if we end things. I don't want to do this anymore."

"And I thought I could trust you. My husband. But nevertheless, I love you. I still love you and I'm still in love with you. I'm not going to let you just ruin us like that. Let's start over, okay? We don't have to end something so beautiful over this."

George looked at me, unsure of what to say or do.

"Please. Think of Zuri and Danny. We have to fix this."

He looked down at his hands before his eyes looked at mine again.

"Fine."

He walked out of the room and stopped at Zuri's room, where Danny was sleeping in Zuri's old crib. I stood behind him and looked at our sleeping son.

This is it. I can try and fix this. I just need to treat him out on a few dates. Like how we were when he was still in The Beatles and I was Brian's assistant. It would help us see where we've been and gone through. And make us realize why we got together in the first place and maybe that same reason would keep us together.

"How about we go out tonight? Just me and you. Have a nice dinner date. Like we used to." I bit my lip nervously as he thought about it.

"I... Alright." He looked at Danny and sighed, before looking back at me. It seemed like he wanted to say something, but he held it back, and turned away from me again.

I really screwed up.

"Alright. I'll come pick you up at 7." I kissed his cheek happily, which made him sigh.

I was going to try my best to re-enact the night we went on our "first date".

So I first made a few calls to set up the date and then a babysitter for Zuri and Danny. When I finished, I went into my closet and rummaged through to find the exact outfit I wore.

And I called Pattie, Ruth, Jace and Mimi (aka my glam squad) to help me prepare for the date.

George opened the door, and was shocked when he saw everyone. "What are ye doing-"

"Hi George! Bye George!" They all ran up the stairs and into the bedroom, leaving George confused.

"Come on, girl!" Ruth said as she sat me down and began my makeup.

When we finished, I looked at myself in the mirror with a smile.

The memories...

Jace smiled as he exited the room to use to bathroom, and we all stopped when he squealed.

"Why are you not dressed yet? It's almost 7!" We heard him scream at what I assumed was George. Then I heard the door of George's closet close.

Once 7 hit, I exited the closet with everyone, as they gave me a thumbs up. George stumbled as Jace pushed him out of the closet and his eyes landed on me. He looked at me up and down. Up aaaand Down. And all over.

He just stared at me in awe, not saying a word.

"You look amazing, Geo." I started, which snapped him out of his thoughts.

"Ye look amazing." He smiled softly.

"Are you ready to go?" I asked and he nodded. I linked my arm with his as we headed out to the car. As we walked away, something hit my back.

I turned and Jace was at the door, pointing to the floor. I looked down and there were 3 condoms on the floor. I giggled as I bent down and picked them up, placing them in my purse.

Just like the first time. Never change, Jace.

George opened the car door for me and I blushed, getting in and thanking him.

After I gave him the address and he drove, I couldn't help but bring up Brian. "So are we good?" I asked.

"Well it's going to take me a while to get over it. But I do forgive you." A small smile appeared on my face. Well that's progress.

When we got to the restaurant, the waiter took us to a secluded area just to avoid being noticed. As we were walking, George placed his hand at the bottom of my back, which sent chills all through me.

Long story short, dinner went actually pretty well. He began to talk about his finished album and the next one he planned on making. It sounded like it was going to be great. And I told him about everything with the modeling.

It was as if this really pushed a "reset" button on our love life. It gave it the jumpstart it needed.

When we ordered dessert, George looked at me hesitantly before feeding me his. I quickly tasted it and licked my lips. Then I fed him my dessert.

Once we paid the bill and got into the car, I groaned. "That dessert was amazing."

"I could think of a few better desserts, but it wasn't that bad."

"Oh really? Name one." I crossed my arms, until I noticed the mischievous grin on his face.

He laughed as he drove us, but not back home. We ended up at the beach.

"We came here after we ditched the guys, remember?" He asked and I nodded.

"I could never forget." I took off my shoes and began to slowly take my dress off.

I saw him staring at me in the corner of my eye. "What? I can't go on the beach with such a nice dress!"

He noticed I wasn't wearing a bra, so he unbuttoned his shirt and gave it to me. I thanked him and threw it on, before we got out the car and I grabbed the beach towel I took from home and headed to the beach.

When we found a nice spot within view to the moon and it's reflection on the water, we sat on the towel and enjoyed the view.

"I'm really so sorry about everything. I risked losing something so amazing. I don't know what I would've done if I lost you, George." I rested my head on his shoulder, listening to the sounds of the waves.

"I know yer sorry. Remember you were on the receiving end at one point a few times, thanks to me. And I regret it as well. No one is perfect. Just please don't ever hurt me like that again. I want to be able to trust me own wife, Y'know." He held my hand tightly and I nodded.

"I won't hurt you. I promise. And please don't hurt me again. I want to trust my own husband too."

"I promise." He looked over at me. Something was bothering him.

"Ever since ye told me, I couldn't help but imagine someone else touching ye. Pleasuring ye. And ye screaming his name instead of mine. And it makes me so... so angry. Because yer mine. And only mine. No one else's."

He grabbed my face, making me face him and his lips crashed against mine. And we made out for a little while, before he softly pushed me onto my back on the towel and he got on top of me.

"I'm gonna make ye regret sleeping with another man." He whispered into my ear as his hands slowly unbuttoned his shirt that I was wearing.
