About half an hour later, I fixed the bed and cleaned up a bit in the room. Staying in a room with four guys is a chore. I'm sure John is going to bring some girl over later tonight while the rest of us either wait outside or have to listen to em go at it while we try to sleep. I smiled and shook my head. I turned the radio on and sat on the bed.

"And for the next hour, we'll be playing some tunes from The Beatles to calm all you folks stayin home on this cloudy evening. First up, We got 'All My Loving'"

I sighed laying back on the bed. I stared at the ceiling for a few minutes listening to the music.

"I'll pretend that I'm kissing, The lips I am missing, and hope that my dreams will come true.."

"I could have sounded better in that verse."

I sat up to see Paul in the doorway as he smiled at me. He walked in and closed the door locking it.

"Paul? What are you doing back so early?"

"Ah well, the others went off to the gentlemens club and I wasn't in the mood to go." He walked over and turned the radio low.

"We don't need to listen to my voice." he laughed.

"They're playing your music for the next hour." I giggled as he shut it completely off.

"Ah come on. I think you sound great Paul."

He sat on the bed across from me.

"I do sound pretty great dont I." He smirked. I just rolled my eyes and laughed. He grabbed Geo's guitar.

"Come ere." He said as I walked over to him. He motioned for me to sit in his lap. I obeyed as he put the guitar in my lap and put his arms around me. He grabbed my hands and positioned them and had me strum with his hands over mine. We stayed like this for a while as he taught me the chords and how to play a song. I recognized it right away. He began to sing.

"I give her all my love
That's all I do
And if you saw my love
You'd love her too
I love her"

At first we started off slow. Then picked up the pace until we reached normal speed.

I smiled as I perfected it as the song came to an end.

"How was that?" He asked putting the guitar down.

"That was great. You're a perfect teacher." I smiled turning to him.

"Well, you're a perfect student." He smiled. We looked at eachother for a few seconds until we leaned in and pressed our lips against each others. I pulled back and sighed.

"Paul...I can't."

"Why not? I mean you do it with George and Rings doesn't mind."

"I know but with you and John it's different." I said standing up.

"How is it different?" He said standing up in front of me. I looked up at him.

"I don't know...It just is."

He sighed. "You wanted it just as much as I did just now. Didn't you?"

I looked into his eyes and nodded slowly.

"Then..." He leaned down and kissed me softly. I was hesitant at first. I relaxed as he pulled me in closer. I kissed back sliding my hand on the back of his neck. He kissed me harder until I pulled back.

"Paul I can't."

He sighed frustrated.

"Why Rosy? I think you have a right to kiss me while Richard is off snogging some other bird!" He yelled.

"He...what?"

"Yeah. I wasn't supposed to say anything but I just couldn't lie to you." He said sitting down. I bit my lip and sat next to him. I didn't know how to feel. I was upset but, I've been doing the same to him with Geo this entire time. And he's probably drunk. He'll never see this girl again.

"Thank you Paul. For telling me." I said taking his hand into mine. He looked down and nodded. I turned his head to face me and leaned in kissing him. He leaned in closer as we fell back on the bed.

.........

Me and Paul fell were asleep in each others arms when the rest finally came back. It was about eleven at night.

We didn't have sex. Although we were almost close to doing it. But Paul decided it wasn't right. So we played some more songs and spent the night just talking.

I heard whispering.

"Shhh I think your girl and Paul are sleepin." It was John.

"Aye you don't think they..." Richard.

"Nah. They're still dressed."

"Okay. Good. I cannot believe that place was open that late. I think I picked the right one out. You think it's too small?"

"For the millionth time Richard, she's going to love it. I'm sure it won't matter how big the diamond is or not."

I froze. Diamond? Could it be?....

"When are ya gonna ask er?"

"I wanted to ask her at the festival but I don't know if I can wait that long."

"It's two days Rich."

"Yeah to you. But for me...it feels like forever. Maybe I should wake her now.."

"Are you crazy? I'm tired and sober and grumpy. I just want to sleep."

"Thanks again John for taking me out tonight. It was the only way I could go out on my own without her knowing."

"Yeah well I did owe you. And tomorrow you owe me a nice cold pint. So let's get some shut eye."

"Aye, where's Geo?"

"Oh he met some bird outside and is probably gonna have a shag in the bus. No biggie."

I rolled my eyes and turned over in bed. I felt a lot happier knowing that Richard wasn't making out with another girl. Now it made sense why Paul didn't want things to go to far. I smiled to myself under the covers.

A few minutes later, I felt the covers get pulled back as Richard sighed and laid beside me. He wrapped his arms around me as I moved around and scooted closer to his chest. I felt him kiss my forehead and whisper goodnight as he drifted off to sleep. I smiled and soon fell asleep myself.

......

I woke up a few hours later at about four in the morning. I really needed to stop waking up extremely early. I grabbed a cigarette and the lighter and walked out the door. I leaned against the balcony and lit the cig and brought it to my lips inhaling. I watched the bus as George and some girl got out and walked their seperate ways. George was rubbing his eyes as he walked up the steps.

"Morning Georgie." I said smiling.

"Oh heya Rosy. What are you doin up this early?" He asked standing in front of the door. I shrugged.

"Couldn't sleep. You?"

"Just woke up next to some bird. Had a long night." He winked. I laughed and shook my head.

"Get some sleep Geo. You deserve it." I smiled as he nodded and walked inside closing the door behind him. I sighed and flicked my cig. I yawned and was about to walk inside when the door opened.

"Rosy...Come back to bed."

I giggled. "You look so cute with you're messy hair babe."

He smiled sleepily just adding to his cuteness. I wrapped my arms around his waist and leaned up kissing him. He was late returning the kiss as I pulled back. I smiled as he yawned.

"Let's sleep love." He whispered pulling me by the hand inside. I followed him inside and closed the door. He turned to me and lifted my shirt off and pulled down my shorts. He unhooked my bra and pulled me to the bed. As we laid down, he kissed me softly before pulling back looking into my eyes.

"I wanted to ask you somethin." He said sleepily.

"Yes?" I said holding his hand.

"Wil...will you marry me?" He asked grabbing a small box off the nightstand and opened it. I smiled and sat up looking at him.

"Well?" He said looking more awake now.

"Richard....yes! Yes I will marry you!" I smiled as he sat up and took the ring out of the box. He smiled and slid it on my finger.

"I'm sorry it's not big enough..."

I leaned in and kissed him. He smiled kissing back.

"Richard I don't care about how big it is. It just matters that you love me enough to want to spend the rest of your life with me." I felt myself start to cry. He held me and kissed my forehead.

"Awww love don't cry." He whispered.

"I'm sorry. I just....I love you so much Ritchie." I said hugging him. He wiped my tears and pulled me down to lay down with him. He held me tight as we kissed and cuddled in each others arms.

"Congratulations." I heard everyone mumble sleepily. I giggled as we all soon fell asleep.

.......

(Two days later)

"Stop that." I said taking Paul's hand away from his mouth. 

Me, Richard and Paul were in the the parking lot at the music festival. George and John couldn't wait to get inside so they went off in without us.

It was four in the afternoon and the festival started at five. We got here early so George could look around before he had to perform.

Paul on the other hand, has been acting very distant from all of us these past two days. Me and Richard took it upon ourselves to try and figure out what was going on with him.

We were sitting in the front. I was between Richard and Paul and I was sitting on something very hard. 

"Richard...I'm sorry."

"What? Why?"

"I think I broke your drumsticks."

I held them up as they split in half. Paul laughed as Richard put them down.

"Oh that's okay. I brought another pair in case something like this happened."

I giggled as he kissed my cheek.

"So Paul, whats wrong?" Richard asked.

"Whay d'you mean?"

"I mean, why have you been acting off lately? 

Paul shrugged and looked at his nails. "I dunno. I just feel like...I don't fit in with you lot."

"Oh Paul, of course you fit in. We all love you." I said rubbing his arm.

"Yeah but, I mean you and Richard have eachother, John can get any bird he wants cause he's confident and straightforward. Everyone loves Geo cause he's the youngest and the shy one. And me...I'm just like the middle child. Nobody really cares about."

He sighed. "Atleast before, we were famous and I could have any bird I want...but now, nobody recognizes me and i'm just another bloke." He looked down.

"Ah that's not true Paul. Look, we all care about you and you're just as important as any one of us. Plus i've noticed a few birds look your way Paul, you just dont lead em on that's all." Richard said.

"I don't want a bird." He said frustrated.

"Then what do you want?" I asked watching him.

"...I want John." He said looking away. I noticed his cheeks turn bright pink as he blushed.

Me and Richard looked at eachother. He just shrugged.

"Paul...what d'you mean you want John?" Richard asked.

"I've done things with him. I mean one time but...ever since then, he acts distant around me. I mean sure he's fine around me when someone is with us. But when were alone, he acts off. And I've been feeling a bit upset by this."

"Paul why don't you tell him how you feel?"

"He knows I like him but he's made it clear to me he's not a queer. I mean I like birds to but...I've just changed."

Richard nodded. "So you like blokes more than birds."

Paul just nodded shyly and started to cry.

"Paul don't cry. It's nothing to be ashamed of." I said hugging him. He just sobbed and hugged me tighter.

"I didn't want any of you to think any less of me. I don't want to be made fun of."

"Of course we don't think anything less of you Paul. You're me mate. I love you." Richard said hugging Paul too. He wiped his tears and sighed.

"Thank you both...just, don't tell the others right now alright? I mean, I rather they here this from myself."

We nodded. "Okay Paul. Tell em when you're ready though. No need to rush."

He nodded and smiled. "I uh, Better get inside. They might think were doing naughty things in ere." He laughed.

We laughed. "Alright Paul. We'll follow you down in a bit." Richard said as Paul got out. He rolled his eyes.

"You two can't go one second without humping each other."

"You know it love." Richard winked.

Paul shook his head. "Fine fine. I'll see you two later." He waved and closed the door making his way inside to meet up with the others.

I giggled as Richard crawled closer to me.

"So, you broke my drumsticks huh?" He said kissing my cheek.

"It was an accident." I said smiling.

"And ya think you can get away with it?" He whispered kissing along my jawline.

"Don't I always?" I laughed pulling his hair as he graze my skin with his teeth.

"You're going to pay for it somehow." He smiled and leaned over pressing his lips against mine. I leaned in more kissing him back. He slid his hands over my waist and up my shirt. His tongue making circles with mine.

He kissed my neck as I ran my fingers through his hair.

"Oh Richard."

"Rosalinda." He breathed into my neck. "I love you so much."

"I love you too."

I felt him smile while sucking on my neck. I moaned softly as he grinded himself between my legs. I could feel his hardness through his jeans. He sat up and unbuttoned and unzipped his jeans. I did the same to my shorts. He pulled my panties down and then his own underwear.

He grabbed my hand and made me stroke him for a few minutes. I closed my eyes feeling him in my hand. The sound of his soft moans as he squeezed his hand over mine while I stroked, made me want him even more. While this happened, he moved his fingers between my legs making me moan softly. He thrust two fingers inside me making me grab onto the seat with my free hand.

He stopped and I watched as he positioned himself between my legs. I gasped as he slid himself into me.

I wrapped my legs around his waist as he grabbed onto the seat and watched me as he thrust into me faster. I moaned his name and leaned my head back and dug my nails down his back.

"Aah Richard..."

"Rose..."

He leaned down and bit on my neck softly. I slid a hand in his hair and pulled as he bit down harder. I whimpered as he pulled out and sat up. I knew what he wanted. I pulled myself up and crawled in his lap. I faced him as I felt him enter me again. I moaned holding onto his shoulders.

I leaned in kissing him as he held onto my hips. I moved on him making me breath uneasy.

"Come for me." He breathed against my lips. I kissed his neck as he swallowed and tightened his grip on my waist. I closed my eyes hearing him moan while I moved my hips and I slid myself up and down his hard member.

I had one hand on his chest and the other on his shoulder as I felt myself coming soon. I breathed heavily as I picked up the pace. He groaned as we came at the same time. I moaned holding onto him as I slowed down and came to a stop.

We were breathing heavily as I looked at him. He smiled not saying a word. We got startled when we heard John yell for us as he walked through the parking lot to the VW. I hurried up and got off him as we pulled our clothes on and fixed ourselves. John came over just in time to see Richard buttoning his pants and me pulling down my shirt.

"What's going on here?" John asked obviously amused.

"Nothing. Let's go." Richard said getting out. I got out too, running my fingers through my hair. John just smiled talking to Richard about whatever.

When we got to George and Paul, they were watching some other band practice. I bit my lip and watched the singer as he sang and smiled when he noticed me. Richard must have seen this cause he walked over to me and wrapped an arm around my waist.

"Aye they're pretty good aren't they?" John said as he watched them. I smiled.

"Yeah but, you guys are better."

"Oh stop it you." John blushed and kissed my cheek.

"What time you on?" I asked George as he lit a cigarette.

"Were second love. Soooo this means we better practice here before we go on. These lot are up first. So after were done, we can walk around and spend the rest of the day havin a good time." He smiled and kissed my cheek.

"Aye John where's me bass?" Paul whined as John went over to talk to him. George went off to talk to the singer from the other band and I turned to Richard who looked down at me. I wrapped my arms around his neck.

"I don't like the way that bloke is looking at you." He mumbled.

"Aww baby don't be jealous. Ya know I only have eyes for you...and George, and Paul, and John." I giggled.

He laughed. "Yeah well, I wouldn't even mind it if you had an orgy with all three of em behind my back. Better with them than any other bloke I don't know."

I smiled and pinched his cheek. "You're adorable when you're jealous. I'm starting get ideas about the orgy suggestion though."

"Hush now." He laughed. I leaned up and kisses him softly. He kissed back and sighed.

"I better go practice with the guys. Show starts in half an hour."

"Alright. I'm just going to look around and mingle." I said letting him go.

"Alright love." He smiled and kissed my cheek.

"Whelp. I think i'm just gonna go off and look around." I told the others.

"Alright love. Don't go too far huh?" George smiled.

"Alright Geo." I smiled.

"What no kiss?" He pouted. I smiled and walked over to him and kissed him. He kissed back.

"See you all later."

..........

The next half hour consisted of me walking around looking at all the booths of art and records. The place began getting full as people talked and stood around the stage area as the first band came on stage setting up their things. I walked over and stood towards the front as the singer was kneeling on the ground plugging in something. He caught a glimpse of me and smiled. I smiled back as he stood up and looked over at the crowd. I bit my lip watching as he introduced himself. His name was David and from what I heard, they sounded pretty good.

While singing he'd glance at me. His voice was deep but soft. I noticed a lot of girls swooning over him. He had short black hair and green eyes. He was cute I will admit.

As they came to an end half an hour, they thanked the crowd and got off stage. I noticed a few girls making their way backstage. I smiled as George appeared on stage followed by Richard, John, and Paul.

"Thanks for having us here tonight! It's our first time performing on stage so cut us a little slack if we suck." George smiled.

I rolled my eyes and laughed as they began to peform. I smiled watching them. George's voice was so beautiful as he sang.

"You don't realize how much I need you
Love you all the time and never leave you
Please come on back to me
I'm lonely as can be
I need you"

George would smile at me once in awhile as he sang the song. Once the song ended, John took the mic and began to sing as the others played on.

"Is there anybody going to listen to my story
All about the girl who came to stay?
She's the kind of girl you want so much
It makes you sorry
Still, you don't regret a single day
Ah girl
Girl"

John would glance at me as he sang the rest of the song. I just watched him then glanced at Paul who seemed to have noticed this. Once the song ended, Paul took the mic.

He cleared his throat.

"I'd like to dedicate this song to someone here today."

I watched as they began to play and Paul started singing.

"We said our goodbyes, (ah, the night before)
Love was in your eyes, (ah, the night before)
Now today I find you have changed your mind
Treat me like you did the night before"

Instantly I knew who he was singing to. He would look at John as he sang the verse,

" Last night is a night I will remember you by
When I think of things we did it makes me wanna cry"

I watched the looks they gave each other as they sang. I sighed.

"Aye your mates are pretty good."

I turned to see the singer of the first band smile at me. I nodded.

"Yeah they are."

"I'm sorry i'm David." He held out his hand.

"I'm Rosalinda. But you can call me Rosy everyone does." I said shaking his hand

"Okay Rosy everyone does, it's nice to meet you."

I bit my lip smiling as he smiled at me. He had a nice smile. We looked up at Paul as he sang. I smiled to myself watching him.

"So, you datin the drummer?" He asked.

"Uh yeah I am. Engaged to him actually." I said showing him my hand with the ring on it. He nodded.

"That's nice. I uh, saw you kiss the other fellow earlier though."

I laughed. "Oh yeah that. It's a whole thing I don't want to get into right now."

"I see." He smiled. "Hey uh, Can I get you a drink? I mean theres a booth just over there and you won't miss your friends playing at all."

I looked up at John and George who were now singing and back at David. I thought for a second and nodded. We walked over and sat on a stool and grabbed a drink. We watched as George played a guitar solo.

"He's good. He could be a proffesional."

"He is...I mean kind of was. He was in a band awhile back. But not really anymore. Me and my friends love music madly."

"Ah me too. I love a lot of bands like, The Who, Led Zeppelin, The Animals, Jimi Hendrix..."

"My friend George loves Hendrix." I said taking a drink from my bottle of beer.

"I know. I was talkin to him back stage before you came about. We played a few riffs and taught each other a few things. He's a cool fellow."

"Yeah. He sure is." I smiled looking over at Geo. They just came to an end and I couldn't help noticing some more girls walking backstage. I rolled my eyes and looked down.

David laughed watching me.

"Don't worry. A few girls came backstage after we were finished. I'm not one for a gig whore."

I laughed. "Gig Whore?"

"Yeah. Ya know these girls that come to gigs and shows to try and sleep with a musician so they can have a story to tell their girlfriends. It's all rediculous If I may say so myself. I mean who knows what these girls have." He said shaking his head disgusted and taking a drink.

"So you're saying you never slept with any of these girls?"

"Well not here. But in clubs, that is none of your buisness." He said tapping the tip of my nose. I giggled and rested my head in my hand. We talked some more until I heard Geo calling my name as he ran over.

"Hey Georgie! You were great!" I said as he picked me up and kissed me. I laughed as he sat me back down.

"Yeah? Glad you liked it love. I was so nervous!"

"Aye man you were great out there. That solo was amazing."

"Ah cheers mate. You weren't to bad yourself...." George scooted me to the side and practically shoved me off the stool as he started talking to David more. I could see Richard and John walking over to us as I met them halfway.

"You guys were amazing." I said kissing Richard then kissing John on the cheek.

"Oh stop it you." John said again. I laughed and I wiped the sweat off of Ritchie's forehead.

"Tiring babe?" I said as he held my hand.

"A little But ya know, I like to play rough." He said kissing me.

"Mmm I sure do." I giggled against his lips as John rolled his eyes.

"Will you two quit trying to get in each other's pants anytime you two get in contact."

"It's not my fault my Ritchie is so damn irresistable." I laughed.

"Yeah John. I can't help it." Richard smirked.

"I need a bloody drink." John said walking over to Geo. I grabbed Ritchie's hand.

"Where's Paul?" I asked

"He's uh...I dunno to be honest." He said looking around.

"Maybe we should look for him?" I said.

"He'll be alright."

I bit my lip and nodded. As we walked.
