Well, I've been off the map haven't I? so sorry you guys, I don't even know why, I've written like 3 chapters more…. I hope you are fine! Ok till next chapter : )
"Wait!" she yelled, she faked a smile "I can't go out tomorrow, would you like to go with me this evening?" ,,
The dinner didn't last long, they talked about working, writing and music, not even two hours later she arrived home, Michelle had to be alert, he was a journalist and she was working with the greatest celebrity in London. She opened the door of her apartment, to her surprise that celebrity was sitting there.
"You! How did you get in?"
"I opened the door, how was your date?" he questioned.
"I ate lobster, disgusting" she said "By the way thank you for leaving me alone, he could have been a psycho but you left"
"You don't like him"
"I barley know him, of course not" she answered, she put some water to heat "I only accepted because he practically threatened me with writing about you, he works for a magazine. He spent the whole evening trying to know about you and your band"
"You don't have to sell yourself to protect me"
She looked at him mad "Why do you always have to be a twit?"
"That's no what I meant" he stood up from the chair.
"No? Because you always seem to be saying hurtful things to me"
"You're one of the few who can handle them" he said and took a bite to an apple "It's your fault, girls have got tired of me, Candy hasn't because she works a lot and I don't see her often. I don't see you running away from me"
"Believe me, I'd love to run away from you, but I have to finish this book"
"It's not because of the book, you've stayed here for almost three months, are you holding up the book for me?"
She gave him a big sarcastic smile "Yes, John"
"I knew it" he raved.
"Although it seems that your charm over me is not working very well; I finished it, I just have to edit it and check it" she informed.
"Good for you, I'll be out of your life" he said as he left the half eaten apple in the bowl "I just hope it will take you a while to check it, If not I'm afraid I won't be here to say goodbye. In two weeks we'll have some presentations in Nottingham and then Liverpool"
"That's fantastic, sometimes I forget how famous you are and that I'm talking with a celebrity"
He smiled warmly to her, she had managed to make him feel blushing. He opened the door to leave, and she stopped him. Michelle, on her toes, tried to kiss his cheek, but he was teasingly pulling back. She was shorter than him so she gave up.
"I'm going to miss you" she said and closed the door.
Days later, Michelle went to the front desk to see if she had received a letter from her mother, while she waited for the receptionist, she saw Candy and Mr. Feynman having an argument, he seemed very angry.
"Miss, what do you want me to do?" he said
"I don't know, you promised me that if I started dating him I would have more fame, I don't see that happening"
"But you're about to go to New York for a movie audition"
Michelle saw they were closer, so she hid behind a column of the building.
"Agh! An audition, they were supposed to beg me to film a movie for them, anyway it is only one audition, haven't you heard about Lauren Smith? As soon as they thought she was dating Paul, everyone began to buy her album, she sings awfully"
"You can't date Paul" he affirmed.
"I know that, and you are going to fix this, because I can't stand being with John anymore, he is so needy, and he's not making me famous. Because, come on, this band will split very soon, and no one will remember John, but I bet my gorgeous hair that Paul will continue being well-known. When I return, I want to know that you talked to him about me and Paul"
"I'm sorry, but the deal was you dating John" he reminded her "And if people know you broke up with him to date Paul, I'm afraid they won't take you seriously, you're not an Elizabeth Taylor"
"I can be better, I'll think about it in this trip, but I can't assure you anything" And she walked away.
After she saw them left, she forgot about her mother's letter and went straight to her room, she though for two or three hours if she should tell John about what she had heard, for a moment she thought he deserved it, but she had to tell him, but why? Was it because it was the right thing to do, or because that will mean John was free. Destiny knocked at her door, she let John entered, it was now or never.
When John entered, he began to tell her something about going to Hyde Park, but she didn't listen she just blurted.
"Candy wants Paul"
He closed the door, he simply smiled and asked "What? Paul told me she was flirting with him, but even I have flirted with Paul"
"John, I heard her saying to Mr. Feynman, that she wants to break up with you, she has this crazy idea that Paul can make her famous"
His expression toughened, but he decided to listen.
"And the other day she said horrible things about you, she's just using you"
"Stop it" he murmured.
Michelle was so determined to say everything she heard, that she didn't listen what he had said "She said that people hate you, that everyone loves Paul, that's way she has to be with him, she's not just flirting she wants to leave you" she continued. Having all that information in her mind was very difficult, she felt the need to say it as quickly as possible, why? Did she have an ending to her speech, a declaration maybe?
He turned away, she didn't noticed how much that was affecting him, she just continued and couldn't stop, she had so many things to inform him, that she didn't realize that she was hurting him.
"It's not Paul's fault of course, it was all planned by Mr. Feynman and Candy, yes! They set this trap" she touched his shoulder "Are you listening to me? She doesn't love you, I don't think she ever did, she tricked us all"
She had no answer "John?"
"Shut up!" he snapped and pushed her.
"I'm…am …" she was looking what to say to his reaction.
"Don't look at me like that; you know exactly what you just did" he yelled at her angrily.
"I don't understand, I'm sorry I shouldn't' have told you"
"You can laugh now Michelle, I know how happy you must be right now" he grumbled.
Michelle was scared to move or to look at him.
"If I said something that upset you, I'm very sorry" She hesitated to say.
"No, you're not" he stated, approaching to her and lifting her head he then said "No one can love me, isn't that what are you trying to say? It was all a trick, I can't get a girl like that because I'm a good-for-nothing, you win, you won't love, neither will a beautiful actress"
"Of course not"
He didn't let her finish "That you will never love me, that wasn't a question"
"That's not what I meant!" she exclaimed looking at him, she wanted to tell him so many things, but she wasn't as brave as he was.
"What was it then?"
"I care for you, that's why I told you all that, I'm not happy, how can you think such a thing?" she cried.
"I'm a fool, and I'm sure you're glad this is happening to me"
"Why?" she asked, her strong voice had returned.
"That means you were right all the time, I'm a monster"
She sat on a chair, biting her lips "I'm not happy"
"Are you sad to know you don't have any objections to be with me?"
John waited for an answer, since he didn't get any he left, slammed the door and stormed to his room.
He took the stairs, he was so mad that he didn't hear that someone was calling for him, he felt a touch on his arm he turned to see Thomas, his first thought was to push him down the stairs, but an old couple was passing by.
"What do you want?"
"I'm sorry to bother you, my niece wants an autograph" he gave him a piece of paper, surprisingly, he signed it "She'll be so very happy"
"What's her name?" he asked him dryly, as usual.
"Michelle" he smiled.
John looked at him furious, thinking it was a joke, but he showed him a photo.
"She's only 9, but she thinks you four are the love of her life"
"Well, tell her I already have one" he said attempting to leave.
"Isn't it funny?"
John turned to see him, he was good avoiding people but for some reason he stayed.
"I though I had no chance with Michelle, not my niece, that would be weird but… your Michelle"
He smiled "You have none" and softly to himself said "No one does"
"I thought that but we're going to the opera, I told her I had tickets… maybe it is not because she likes me but she must be tired of listening to your music all day long"
"Yeah that was very funny, goodbye"
"I meant, that she preferred me over you"
John abruptly took him by the neck and pushed him to the wall, he hit the wall once, while Thomas smiled wickedly.
"You better be careful what you fucking say, next time won't be the wall" he released him.
"I can't wait to write about John Lennon punching a reporter"
"With what? I was planning on chopping your hands off" he said as he climbed on the stairs, he left hearing Thomas laughing.
