Be my Starr (Ringo Starr)

Chapter 17 part 3: Different lives

Susan's first shared shower was a success, to say the least. Not only did she replenish the cleanness of her body but she also got round two with Ringo. Something she didn't expect at all.

She dried her hair, brushed her teeth, and started getting dressed at the end of the bed. Ringo appeared at the bathroom doorway, his hair was messy and he was only wearing a towel covering his lower half. Susan glanced at the chest, remembering how hot it felt against her just minutes before.

"Still not coming to the signing?" He asked.

Susan shook her head. "I need to find Barbara."

"She'll be fine. She's probably with... Someone." He walked over to Susan and took her hand. "I need you with me." He laid a kiss on it. This seemed to be a common action for Ringo when he was trying to convince her into something.

"You just had me." She laughed.

"I could have you again." He rubbed his hand along her thigh.

"Ritchie," Susan said sharply. The feeling was more than arousing but she couldn't possibly delay any longer. Barbara could have been anywhere.

"Right here," Ringo whispered with a grin.

"Ritchie stop it's not going to work. I'm going and that's that." Susan stood up. "You've got my number, call me if... Well, whenever you want to."

"Can I see you tomorrow?" He questioned, a look of determination on his face.

"I can't, I've  got work tomorrow."

"Scoff work, I know a nice restaurant-"

"No," Susan snapped abruptly. "Richard, I'm not going over this again." She looked him in the eye, it was extremely hard due to the hurt in them but she had to stand her ground no matter how painful. "We live different lives."

"Whatever." Ringo sighed. "I'll call you tonight. You better answer." He gave her a sharp look.

"I will." Susan smiled. Ringo walked over and took her hands in his.

"I'm going to miss you." He said softly.

"We'll see each other again." Susan laughed. He stared at her hungrily.

Susan wrapped her arm around his neck, meeting him in a kiss. The kiss deepened, intoxicating her. Ringo holds onto her tightly, unable to let go as he leaves her lips and smoothers kisses down her neck.

"Ritchie..." Susan moaned. "I need to go." Ringo ignored her, his kisses sometimes turning into little nibbles and bites. "Ritchie... Richard!" She barked.

Ringo stopped and pulled away slowly. "Sorry, Luv." He grinned. "You're just so irresistible."

"Funny," Susan said sarcastically.

"I mean it," Ringo argued. "I can't control meself when I'm with you. You must have a superpower."

"Yeah, whatever." Susan walked over to the door. She turned back to him. He smiled and waved. "Ritchie-" Her words were cut off by a loud knock at the door making her jump. "Who's that?" Ringo shook his head cluelessly.

Susan opened the door. "Barbara?" She exclaimed in surprise.

"Heyy." Barbara smiled and strutted into the room like she owned it. "Nice room." She said looking around. "It's identical to the one we were in."

"What do you mean?" Susan questioned.

"Barbara." Ringo smiled. "It's good to see you."

"Did you fuck then?" Ringo glanced at Susan, she was shaking her head.

"Wouldn't you like to know?" He teased. Barbara grinned.

"Whatever."

"Where did you go?" Susan asked.

"What?"

"After the party."

"Oh, I went to the after-party." Susan gave her a confused stare.

"What after-party?"

"The one you weren't invited to." Barbara grinned back.

"With who?" Barbara looked at her.

"Wouldn't you like to know? Anyway" Barbara said walking to the door. "We going or not, I know it doesn't look like it because I'm absolutely stunning no matter what but I have a banging hangover right now."

"Um... yeah." Susan looked around the room in case she had left anything behind. "Right." She said and looked and up at Ringo. "See you on the other side." She smiled.

"Not if I see you first," Ringo said back. Susan walked over and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before following Barbara into the hallway, closing the door behind her.
