Victoria's POV.
This is not good. Paul is flirting with me! It's not that I don't like it, but that is disrespectful to George. For a second I almost surrender to his charms; I had to fight against my inner weak Victoria.
"You must be joking, Paulie" I shook my head. "Help me prepare the tea before you get on my nerves"
"Alright, but we're not done yet with this talk" He cleared his throat, and proceeded to make tea.
"Vicky, your baby really likes me" John smiled wide as he walked in holding Michelle the way he was holding her earlier.
"See? She likes John better!" Paul complained a little frustrated.
"Paulie, I think it's all on your head. She just likes to be held that way" I said.
"You sure?" He asked quietly with hope on his eyes.
"Sure it must be that" John chuckled skeptic as he carefully put baby Michelle on Paul's arms. "Now hold her close with her head laying on your chest just like I did"
He looked so funny and awkward trying to hold her still. Poor Paulie had no idea of what he was doing; I found it adorable.
"Like this?" He looked as if he was holding a bag filled with glass and afraid to break it.
"It's a baby, relax your arms a bit" Laughed Sophie.
It was going well for a few seconds until Michelle began crying.
"Ugh. I told you" He said disappointed. "She hates me"
"I will put her to sleep. Maybe she's just tired" Sophie said before she took her from Paul's arms, and took her back to the bedroom.
"We know that's a lie" Paul snorted. "My daughter hates me"
"She does not!" I said.
"Oh well. Whatever. I'm going home. I've got a few things to do"
"No, you can't leave yet, Paulie. My parents will come over today to meet Michelle, and I need you here"
"So? George is your boyfriend now, isn't he? This is your home with him. I've got no business here anymore"
"Yeah, I know, but... I need you for support. My parents don't know about me and George. Don't you think it'd be a little too complicated to explain I switched from one Beatle to another?"
He laughed.
"Well I suppose you're right, dear. We need to show them we're okay and mature about this" He sighed.
"That is what I meant. Thank you for understanding" I smiled as I grabbed his hand.
"I suppose I can stay" He smiled too as he squeezed my hand a little.
"I'd appreciate it a lot, Paulie"
"IF"
"Oh no" I rolled my eyes. "If what?"
"If you give me a kiss" He smiled naughty this time.
"Really?" John chuckled. We forgot he was there watching everything
"Don't you have a baby to take care of?" Paul glared at him.
"Okaayy" He got out of the kitchen laughing.
"So?" There you have the eye thing. He has a special way to beg with those eyes.
"Hmmm okay, but close your eyes" I teased him.
"Really?" His eyes brightened up before he close them slowly.
I let out a little silent giggle before I kissed his cheek.
"Hey that is not what I meant!" He frowned once he opened his eyes; he looked so funny.
"The deal was I'd give you a kiss, and I kissed your cheek. It's not my fault you weren't clear" I shrugged my shoulders.
"Victoria Taylor? You are the one getting on my nerves now" He spoke seductively.
"Huhh... I guess" I felt intimidated with that sexy tone; I wasn't prepared for that. Maybe he is smarter than I thought. I am desperate for a kiss more than he is. "Well too bad. Anyway I think we should rehearse what we're going to say to mum and dad"
"Dear, they practically gave you permission to be with me, and had my baby. Does it really matter which one of us you're dating now? You're good"
He's got a point, but still. I don't want my parents to think I'm a whore.
"Would you please stay so that I feel more confident about my situation?"
"You know you can count on me, Vicky"
"Thank you so much" I gave him a hug.
"You are welcome, sweetie" He stroked my hair as he held me.
Paul's arms... it's been a while since I've been there. It feels very, very nice.
"So um, at what time are they coming?" He asked as we pulled apart.
"At around 7 I think. They were traveling, so they couldn't make it earlier because they didn't take the morning flight"
"7?! We've got lots of free time! I could leave, and then get back a 7, don't you think?"
"Yeah but, the thing is, there is A LOT to do, y'know? We've got to clean the house, make dinner, and bathe Michelle. Sophie has to leave soon, and so George and I really need and extra pair of hands.
"You could've implied it that way"
"Oh Paulie" I got closer to him, and put my hands on his neck like I used to when we were together. I'd do it when I'd put too much pressure on him about something, but wanted to apologize. "I'm sorry if I'm asking for too much, but... it involves your daughter too" I pouted my lips. I made him smile.
"It's okay. I can do that for you really. I love you..."
"Paulie..." I looked down. "Is it too much to ask you to stop saying that? It makes me feel bad like you have no idea"
"Okay I understand..." He said quietly.
"Okay" I smiled. "Let's get started with work. I can take care of Michelle while you and George get started on the house"
Paul was a big help. I could imagine the chaos with just George and me handling everything ourselves. By the time we finished, we were too exhausted to lift a finger. It turns out showering a baby was harder than we thought. Even for 3 people at a time! We were new to it, so we did it very carefully. Unfortunately Michelle was not making it easier; she went on and on crying, but I believe that is normal for a newborn.
"I am soo tiiired" I lay on the floor.
"Yeah me too, but I can't believe everything's ready. We've got about two hours to rest ha!" Paul said as he opened himself a beer.
"I need a two-day nap" George joked as he lay down beside me.
"You look so exhausted, honey. Why don't you actually go and nap in the bedroom? Paulie, you can do it too. I'll stay here in case my parents call or something" I said.
"I'm okay, thanks, Vicky" Paul said.
"I will need to accept your offer. I will go check on Michelle's sleep, and then I will pass out" George laughed as he got up, and left to the bedroom.
"Do you want another drink, Paulie?"
"Please"
"I'll be back" I said before I got up.
"Wait, Vicky" He grabbed my hand.
"Yes?"
"Can we talk now?"
"Paulie, not that conversation again please"
"Okay I promise, but at least can we spend some time alone?"
"Sure, nothing wrong with that I suppose" I said.
"Want a beer?" He gestured at his almost empty drink.
"No" I chuckled. "Let's get you another one, and we can talk in the balcony"
I liked the idea of spending time with Paul at least as a friend. We never had the chance to do that when we met; we went straight to flirt and sex. Shame on me! It's been almost a year since I met him, but I've grown up a lot as a person too. I wouldn't want to act as impulsive and rushed like I did when he came into my life. Oh well. Too late. It's all an experience in life.
"I brought you some apple juice. Oh and I just checked on Michelle. She's still sleeping" Paul said as he sat down beside me in the same chair I was sitting on.
"Thank you. There is another chair over there you know" I laughed
"Come on" He chuckled. "You don't have to act as if we're doing something wrong. I like sitting close to you"
"Okay" I sighed. "What is new with you?"
"Well, our film is almost finished. I believe our premiere is next month"
"That is great! I'm so happy for you, boys. I can't wait to see it, and find out what it is about" I laughed quietly.
"Yeah, I'm sure you'll love it" He smiled. "You know, Vicky...I'm actually very happy that you let me be around you... it means a lot to me really" He said quietly. His words echoed my heart.
"Well, you know our situation. Besides, you're Michelle's father and all of that and-oh shut up you know what's up" I frowned.
He burst out laughing. "Oh dear" He shook his head, and opened another beer, and drank half of it very quickly. "It is what it is" He sighed.
"Everything's going to be okay, Paulie" I swear it was unintentional. I really thought I wasn't used to put my hand on his thigh anymore; that was enough for Paul. "Sorry" I took my hand off his leg.
"Vicky..." He looked at me in the eyes; got lost in them. "I just..." He closed his eyes, and slowly pressed his lips with mine.
Oh my... Pure heaven. It was too late for me to step back. I grabbed his neck with my hands, and deepened our sweet kiss.
Oh no what am I doing?!
"Okay that was enough. I feel like shit for this"I complained.
"No, no. it's okay..." He mumbled before he kissed me passionately this time. Passionate enough to make me forget about everything.
"It is not...." I moaned.
Big mistake. He lifted my dress up to my chest, and started sucking on my breasts!
"Paulie...don't..."
Oh hell. I couldn't control myself; I allowed him to suck on my tits as if he was the hungry baby being breastfed.
