Chapter 4

When I woke up the next morning I was not in Paul’s arms, but in my bed alone. I looked around hoping Paul would be somewhere, but he wasn’t. I figured I had only a precious amount of time before I would end up back in the room, and to be honest, I hope I do pop back in there. It’s awfully boring and I would rather be at home, but if the room is where Paul is, I wanted to be there with him. I laughed to myself thinking how much I already missed him. I haven’t been with him for only about 5 minutes, but I desperately wanted him back with me. I’m going to go crazy when he’s on tour and I’m not with him. As I got ready for the day, I decided I would call up the girls to see if they could meet me at the studio. I had a little part of a song in mind, but I wanted their help to complete it.
“Hello?” Emily answered.
“Hey, Em, it’s Olivia,” I said, “How are you?”
“Good! Where have you been?” she asked.
“It’s a long story but to make it short, I popped into a room with Paul.” I told her.
“With Paul?” she asked.
“Yes, with Paul.” I told her and for some reason I wanted to tell her about Paul and I.
“Hm, that must suck,” she said.
“Actually not really, he’s really fun to be with.” I said, “Do you really not like him Emily?”
“No, I do like him. Wanna know something?” she asked me.
“What?”
“I think he’s cute!” she said reacting as if she just said a swear word. I was surprised.
“Really?” I asked.
“Yeah, but don’t tell anyone. I only think he’s cute and I love Peter,” she told me. I laughed.
“Of course I’m not going to tell him,” He’s mine anyway, I thought, “Hey Em, do you think that you could meet me and the others in the studio in a bit?”
“Yeah, sure. New song?”
“Um, I think so.” I said. I called the others and fortunately we were able to get down to the studio okay. Like I mentioned before, I was somewhat unsure about Paul messing around when I’m not with him, so I decided to ask the girls about it without giving too much away.
“Hey, guys I have a question for you,” I said when we all got to the studio.
“What’s up?” Brittany said.
“Do you remember when Paul and I dated for like 5 minutes?” I asked them. They laughed.
“Yeah, that was dumb.” Sara said, I tried to smile.
“Yeah, well, I was kinda thinking about it and…”
“You aren’t going to dump Davy for Paul are you?” Brittany asked.
“No, but hypothetically, what if I did?” I said. They didn’t suspect anything and I think Emily forgot that I was stuck in a room with him. Plus no offence to Emily, I love her dearly, but she’s not the brightest crayon in the box.
“I would say that, that’s a stupid idea.” Sara said, with Brittany nodding in agreement.
“Yeah, Olivia, I agree he’s damn sexy, but if you’re worried about Davy, you’re gonna kill yourself with Paul.” She said.
“What do you mean?” I asked.
“Well, he’ll probably cheat on you a lot. I mean, you aren’t the partying girl and he’s a major party guy, so when he’s gone without you getting high and such, he’ll probably mess around.” She told me.
“And tours too,” Sara said obviously agreeing with Brittany.
“What if he doesn’t though?” I asked.
“I’m sure he will. And you know it too. We told you this before and you agreed, remember? I’d stay with Davy, Paul will just break your heart and I don’t want to see you hurt like that.” Brittany said. What they told me were things that were on the back of my mind, but they didn’t know that I loved Paul and that Paul loved me. When Paul told me that he would never do such a thing I believed him. After the conversation I asked for a couple minutes, because I just got the rest of my song figured out. After a while, I finished the lyrics and song tune and with a little help from them I finished my song, with perfect timing. I just hope they didn’t put two and two together and figure out what the song was really about. The minute I got home I was back in the room, but when I got in there, my clothes disappeared; even my skirt. So I was left with only my bra and panties.
“Well hello there….” Paul said, smoking a cigarette and noticing my attire.
“Hi,” I said.
“Where were you?” He asked me.
“Back home actually,” I said, “Were you by yourself?”
“No actually, John was in here.” He said making a face.
“Did John bother you?” I asked.
“No, not at all, but, he knows….” Paul said hesitantly.
“He knows?”
“Yeah, I don’t know if you want to keep this secret or not, but he found out.” I hadn’t even thought about whether I wanted others to know about us quite yet.
“How?” I asked.
“Well, I was sleeping naked and me clothes weren’t folded nice, they were all over the floor. John asked who I was in here with and without thinking I said you. He was very much surprised and that’s when I realized he put the two together.” He said, “But I told him we didn’t have sex. So don’t worry, he doesn’t think that.”
“Wow, he won’t tell anyone will he?” I said suddenly realizing that I apparently wanted to keep it secret from our friends for right now. Others, I was proud to say I loved Paul and he loved me, but because of all that’s happened between us all, I didn’t want to tell them quite yet. I mean, Davy doesn’t even know.
“Probably just the other mates,” He said making another face, “I’m sorry love…” He said. I laughed and walked over and sat ext to him on the floor.
“Don’t be sorry,” I said taking his hand and kissing him on the cheek, “I’m not really worried about them anyway.”
“So, you do want to keep this a secret?” he asked.
“Only until I tell Davy. I don’t think it would be fair to tell everyone else before I completely break it off with him…do you understand?” I asked hoping he would.
“Yeah, I didn’t really think about that. I keep forgetting that he still thinks you two are together.” He said.
“Yeah, I know. Speaking of secrets, do we have to hide this from your fans and stuff?” I asked him. He thought for a moment.
“Brian will probably want me too. Not to toot my own horn or anything, but because I’m considered the “cute” Beatles and all, he would probably think it’s best.”
“Oh, you know you’re cute,” I said smiling.
“Yeah, I know.” He said laughing, “No, I’m just kidding. But, really, as far as the secret thing goes, don’t worry about it. I want everyone to know you are mine anyway, and if Brian gets upset, I’ll deal with him.”
“Sounds good,” I said kissing him, but pulling away shortly after. He wasn’t anticipating me doing that, “Sorry, but I have something to show you.” I said getting up and grabbing the demo tape from our recent studio session.
“What’s this?” He asked.
“Well, last night I was thinking about how great it was that we’ve finally been able to tell each other how we feel, and that we can be together now. So, being at home, I decided to put my thoughts into a song….”
“Another one? Wow, you’re on a roll!” He said smiling.
“Yes I am, and they’re all for you.” I said getting up. Paul pulled me back down and kissed me.
“I love you,” he said and I smiled.
“I love you too.” I replied getting up again to go put the tape in the machine. I hit play and came back to sit next to Paul. He smiled and took my hand.

All day long I hear my telephone ring,
Friends calling giving their advice,
From the boy I love, I should break away,
Cuz heartaches he’ll bring one day.
I lost him once, through friend’s advice,
But it’s not gonna happen twice.
Cuz all advice every got me,
Was many long and sleepless nights.

But now he’s back in my arms again,
Right by my side.
I got him back in my arms again,
So satisfied.

It’s easy for friends to say let him go,
But I’m the one who needs him so.
It’s his love, that makes me strong,
Without him, I can’t go on.
This time I live my life at ease,
Being happy loving who I please.
Each time we make romance,
I’ll be thankful for a second chance.

Cuz he’s back in my arms again,
Right by my side,
I’ve got him back in my arms again,
So satisfied.

How can Mary tell me what to do,
When she lost her love so true?
And Flo, she don’t know,
Cuz the boy she loves is a Romeo.
I missed him once, to my friend’s advice,
But it’s not going to happen twice,
Cuz all advice ever got me,
Was many long and sleepless nights.

I got him back in my arms again,
Right by my side,
I got him back in my arms again,
So satisfied.
I’m satisfied.

As the song ended, Paul leaned over and kissed me.
“What was that for?” I asked him.
“Because I loved that song and love you,” he said, “But can I ask you something?”
“Sure,” I said.
“Who’s Mary and Flo?” he asked beginning to smile. I pushed him and he laughed.
“Hey, don’t be mean, I made them up.” I said. He laughed again.
“I know, I’m just kidding with you,” He said, squeezing my hand slightly. We sat quiet for a moment, “Did they really tell you not to go with me? How did they know about us?” he asked confused.
“Before we dated for those five minutes or whatever, Brittany knew that I kinda was starting to like you. She kept telling me that you weren’t right for me, you’d break my heart, and that you’d cheat on me. That’s another reason I said I still loved Davy…because I believed them.” I said.
“And you don’t anymore?” He asked me, seeming hurt.
“Of course not, I believe you.”
“Good, because I would never do that. I went with Jane for five years without cheating, and I don’t think I ever really felt like this about her.” He said.
“Are you serious?” I asked amazed. He nodded.
“Yes, I wouldn’t lie to you,” he said smiling. I smiled back and hugged him.
“I might smell, I haven’t showered yet today,” Paul said as I pulled away from him. I laughed.
“First of all, you don’t smell bad, you smell good. And secondly, I haven’t showered either.” I said scrunching my nose.
“Do you want to?” he asked me.
“What, go shower?” I asked. He nodded.
“Then we’d be all clean,” he said smiling. I realized that he said we.
“Yeah, let’s.” I said getting up. Slowly he got up and I followed him to the bathroom where we showered together, and it was really nice. I was thinking maybe since I was showering that the guy would give me brand new clothes. I did get a new bra and panties, and Paul got different pants, underwear, and shirt, but that was it. Afterwards we went back into the room.
“Why don’t your clothes disappear?” I whined.
“I don’t know. It must be a guy and he must think you’re hot.”
“Oh, I don’t like that.” I said making a face.
“I don’t either love, I mean, him looking at you like this, that is. I like the outfit.” He said smiling.
“Thanks,” I said. We finished the day off with more games, what a surprise.
