The next morning I woke up to tapping on my window. I rolled off the bed and crawled over to the window. My hair was a mess as I peeked out the curtain.

"What the..."

I opened the window to see John waving. What's he up to now? At eight in the morning!

"Heya Luce! You look like shit!" He smirked.

"Fuck you. What d'you want!?" I yelled.

"Can I come in? It's cold out 'ere!"

I nodded and pointed to the front door. He waved and disappeared. I fixed my hair quickly and ran downstairs, opening the front door. I'm so glad my folks were gone by now.

"Whoa. Looks like I came 'ere just in time. Got ready for me huh love?" He winked. I looked down to realise I was just in a shirt and undies while he was fully dressed.

"Don't get to excited John. You interrupted my sleep so you better have a damn good reason for it." I crossed my arms. He raised an eyebrow.

"Well. Most birds are excited to find a bloke like myself tapping at their window early in the morning. And what is it you want? Sleep."

"Yeah well, I need sleep more than sex." I said rubbing my eyes.

He laughed and shook his head. "Do you have any kind of sex drive at all?"

I smirked and pinched his cheeks. "Wouldn't you like to know."

I made my way to the stairs as he followed. I giggled and turned around looking at him.

"Wanna come up?"

"I don't know. Will I find a bloke up there in your bed?"

"Oh John. If there was a guy up there, you think you'd be down here?" I smiled patting the top of his head and making my way upstairs. I heard him follow quickly. I led him to my room.

"This is it." I said walking inside my room. I walked over to my closet and pulled out an outfit. He plopped himself on my bed.

"So this is where you sleep?"

"Is that not a bed?"

"Shut up smartass."

"So John, you never told me, why are you here?"

"Well I was thinkin maybe we can continue what we started last night?"

"You mean the hot passionate sex we were about to start on my front porch?"

"Yeah? I brought rubbers."

"Well pop off those pants and lets get started." I giggled. He gave me the finger. I just gave it back.

"Can you get out for a second?" I asked pulling my jeans on.

"What for?" He said watching me.

"I need to put my shirt on and I'm not undressing in front of you. So out." I said pointing to the door.

"So dominant. I like that." He winked. I rolled my eyes and watched him leave. I closed the door and locked it. I trust him but you never know. I finished getting dressed then opened the door. He walked back in and sat on my bed.

"Oh yeah. Here's your coat." I said pulling it off a chair. He looked at it then at me.

"Why don't you wear it?"

I looked at it then shrugged. "Alright."

He smiled and laid back. "So I was thinkin we'd go out, grab a bite to eat then you can meet me mate?"

I looked at him. "Oh yeah? I'm meeting your friends now. This is getting serious now isn't it?"

He laughed. "Come on. I think you'd fancy him."

"Yeah that sounds alright then. What about classes?"

He shrugged. "Bollocks is all it is. Tomorrow is when we finally get to paint."

"Yeah? Can't wait." I said putting eyeliner on. "What about your girl?"

"What about er?"

"Well, she wouldn't mind you being gone?"

"Not really. She's used to me leaving now and then. As long as I bring 'er somethin she's fine."

"Really? Like what?"

"Anything really. Last time I bought 'er a book."

"Oh she can read then."

"Ha Ha very funny." He said sounding not amused. I smiled and finished up.

"Look I'm just teasing. Why don't you get her something better than a book? Girls go crazy over jewelry." I said turning to look at him.

"Yeah?"

"You obviously don't know women." I said standing up and putting his leather jacket on.

"Good thing I got you then." He smiled.

"So, i'm done here." I said kicking his shoe. He sat up and looked me up and down.

"Lookin good there Luce."

I smiled and rolled my eyes.

"Thanks. Don't look to bad yourself."

......

John opened the door for me as we walked into a small diner like place. We sat and looked at the menu.

"Hmm what to get what to get." He muttered. I smiled and looked at mine.

I ended up just ordering coffee and toast. He ordered the whole kitchen.

"John Lennon." I said to myself.

"Hmm?" He hummed looking at me. I smiled and shook my head.

"Nothing. I'm just getting used to saying your name. You know, Since you're going to be a big Rock N Roll musician."

"I am actually."

"With that kind of attitude, people might confuse confidence with arrogance." I took a drink of my coffee. Burning my lip in the process.

He shrugged and watched as the waitress came over with the food. He winked and blew her a kiss. She just blushed and went off on her way.

"I believe that if you're sure of something, why hide it? People can think what they want. I know I'll make it somewhere and be somebody."

"I like your confidence John. I wish I was like you. I'm always unsure of things. I can never settle for what I really want."

"Maybe ye just need someone to come into your life and show you not what you want. But what you need."

"Need being the key word huh?"

"Exactly."

I smiled and leaned over wiping the side of his mouth with a napkin. He blushed.

"Thanks."

"No problem."

....

"Lucy, this is Paul. Paul, Lucy." John said pointing at us.

"Hi Paul." I smiled shaking his hand. He smiled and shook it.

"Hello Lucy."

We smiled just looking at each other. John told me he was only fifteen. But the way he talked, he could easily pass as seventeen.

We were interrupted by John clearing his throat. Paul blushed and looked away as I smiled.

"So Paul, John tells me your a new member of his band."

"Ah his band."

"It is my band Paul."

"Right." Paul smiled and shook his head. "your band. Come in."

He led us inside and to his room. His house was a bit small but cozy. I liked it.

"Come to show off in front of your new bird?" Paul smiled sitting on his bed. I noticed music sheets all over his desk and his guitar on the bed. A poster of Buddy Holly on his wall and records all over his room. I smiled. It was like a small paradise.

"She's not my bird Paul. Just a friend." John said picking up another guitar that was on a stand. I smiled and sat on a chair.

"Yeah well, you look at 'er like she's yours."

"Can we just hush now yeah?" John said putting glasses on. I smiled and noticed him blush when he saw me. 

"He's blind as a bat." Paul smirked grabbing his own guitar.

"Paul." John glared at him, strumming a few chords.

"Is this what you do when your not at school?" I asked. John nodded.

"Sometimes. Sometimes we meet up in the canteen."

"Me and George go to the Institute pretty close to the college you and John go to."

"George?"

"The other member of John's band."

"Well, not yet."

"Come on John."

"Paul he's a kid. He's only fourteen 'nd a bloody puppy dog that just follows us around."

"He's me mate John. I bring him along cause he's got talent. You're just fuckin bigheaded and can't seem to just realise it."

"I'm not 'avin a fourteen year old kid in my band."

They glared at eachother and all was silent. I just blinked and sighed.

"So um...will I ever get to meet George?"

"No..."

"...Yes."

They both said opposite things at the same time. I nodded.

"I'd like to meet him." I smiled. John just scoffed and went back to strumming. Paul shook his head and lit a cigarette.

They both strummed until they settled on a song. I smiled watching them play. Just a few seconds ago they were arguing but when they played, they set it all aside and just watched each other make music. I was entranced by it.

Soon they stopped playing and looked over at me.

"So?" John asked pulling his glasses off.

"I loved it." I smiled. He blushed and Paul laughed watching him.

"Not your girl huh?"

"Fuck off Paul." John said as Paul put his guitar away.

John looked over at me and gave me a smile. I giggled and bit my lip looking into his eyes.
