Be my Starr (Ringo Starr)

Chapter 5 part 1: The bad parts are the best

Susan and Barbara had gotten a taxi home, both of them collapsing onto the settee immediately as they got into their flat. Linda was in her room that she shared with Susan because their flat only had two bedrooms and Barbara demanded that she'd have her room to herself.

Barbara turned and stared at Susan for a few moments. Susan noticed her staring and stared back. They both stared at each other for a moment before breaking into uncontrollable laughter.

Each time they looked at each other, their laughter grew louder and louder. Suddenly, the bedroom door swung open and Linda appeared with a loud shush.

Barbara and Susan looked up at Linda and their laughter continued. Linda wasn't happy at all.

"Stop laughing." She said in an orderly tone.

Linda telling the girls to stop only made them laugh more, to the point where they were gasping for breath. Linda watched as they both collected their breath.

"Sorry Linda, you're just so funny." Barbara managed to say, making them break into laughter again. Linda sighed heavily and walked back into the room, shutting the door behind her.

"Oops. Someone's not happy." Barbara joked. They both smiled, sighing in relief that their laughter had finally stopped. "What time is it?" Barbara pondered after a moment.

Susan shrugged and looked up at the clock. She gasped. "It's 1am." She said in a surprised tone.

"Doesn't time just fly by?" Barbara smiled. Susan smiled with her and laid back into the settee. "I told you it would be fun." She grinned.

"Not all of it was fun." Susan pointed out.

"The bad parts are the best." Barbara countered. "The bad parts are proof that we had fun." She said enthusiastically. Susan rolled her eyes.

"I didn't." Barbara grinned and leaned in towards Susan.

"You did though." Susan looked at Barbara and couldn't help but smile. "I knew you did." She said proudly.

"I guess so," Susan admitted.

"You haven't even told me what happened yet." Susan sighed and looked away.

"We just talked that's all. I wasn't thinking properly and my head was spinning." Barbara looked at her with a serious expression.

"You didn't lay on the floor did you?" Barbara was hoping that she'd say yes. Susan gave her a look and sighed. Barbara laughed. "I bet he found that hilarious."

"He was nice actually. He let me use his jacket as a blanket." Susan defended.

"Wow so nice." Barbara smiled sarcastically. She rolled over onto her stomach and put her against the end of the settee. "This is so comfy." She expressed and closed her eyes.

"You're going sleep here are you?" Susan questioned. "It's a little cold." She pointed out.

"I don't care," Barbara said with her eyes closed.

Susan looked at her friend for a moment. She found is so easy going to sleep. Susan couldn't even think of going to sleep after the night she just had. She was still surprised that Ringo was that kind. He seemed awfully ignorant at the beginning.

The phone attached to the wall began to ring but Susan wasn't interested in answering it. She had also completely forgotten about giving her number to Ringo.

"Answer that will ya?" Barbara asked. Susan sighed. She was too tired to stand up but she did anyway and walked over to the phone.

She answered it and put the telephone receiver against her ear.

"Hello?" She said tiredly.

"Got home safe then." A familiar voice chuckled down the line.
