~Chapter 11

I dialed my house and I heard my mother's voice on the other end.


"Hello?"


"Hey mom this is Julia. I was wondering if I could stay for dinner at a friends house?"


"Okay, have fun but you know not to be out too late"


"Yes I know. Thanks"


I hung up and walked over to Paul. "She said I could stay" I told him. "Great. I could show you how to play a little more."


"Sure"


~**~


"So, when did you move to Liverpool?" asked Paul's father. "About two or three weeks ago" I answered as I put a fork of spaghetti in my mouth.


"Oh how nice. Where are you from I may ask?"


"I'm from Chicago, Illinois."


"I could tell from your accent."


I laughed a small laugh. "Everyone says that." I liked Paul's father. He was very nice and he made good spaghetti.


"So when did you and Paul meet?"


"Um.."


"John introduced us at the park. We got closer when she came to band practices with George." Paul explained as I put another forkful of spaghetti in my mouth.


~**~


Paul showed me up to his room. "Don't do anything naughty in there" teased Paul's little brother, Mike. "Shut up" said Paul said a little annoyed.


"So... that was a little awkward." I broke the silence. "Yeah it was" he agreed. "So what now" I asked sitting on his bed.


"Well I know George probably already showed you around but there's this one place I wanna show you"


"Where is it?"


"You'll see when we get there."


"Sure, why not"


Paul told his dad that we we're going out somewhere. But before we left he handed me a jean jacket."You actually did forget something. I just kept on forgetting to give it to you" he told me as I put it on. We walked out the door and he led the way.


"Is this place far?" I asked not wanting to walk very far.


"No we're almost there."


We got there and standing in front of me was a huge red gate. On the sides was a sign that read Strawberry Field.


"This is strawberry fields. I like to come here a lot." he said. He opened the gate and we walked through. I found a tree and I started to climb it. I sat on one of the branches and motioned Paul to climb up too.


"No I don't climb trees anymore" he argued. "Come on. Please?" I begged him giving him puppy-dog eyes. "Alright, fine" he said finally giving in.


He had trouble climbing up which caused me to laugh. "You are terrible at climbing" I said.


"Hey, I haven't climbed a tree since I was a kid."


"Why not? I do it all the time." I laughed at him trying to hold on to branch. He finally got up. "If it wasn't for you I defiantly wouldn't have climbed one today" he said out of breath which made me laugh even more.


"When do you guys have your next gig?" I asked him. "I think next week" he answered.


"Where at?"


"The Cavern"


"Can I come and watch"


"Of course you can"


"I like this place" I thought aloud to myself. "I do too. It helps me think" he said.


I looked over at him and he looked over at me. There was a smirk on his face and it was too late before I realized what he was gonna do. He leaned over.


He put his hands out and pushed me off the tree. I fell on the ground trying to sound angry but I was laughing to hard. "Your going to regret that" I went to the branch were I was sitting and grabbed his feet and pulled him down.


Before I knew it Paul was on top of me. He was laughing so hard as I tried to push him off. "Get off me you swine." I told him finally getting out from underneath him.


"It's your fault. Your the one who pulled me down." he said smiling. "You liar." I stuck my tongue out at him and he did the same.


~**~


"Hey it was your fault, you pulled me down. Instant karma." he said as we walked up to my porch. "Hey," I playfully punched his arm, "You pushed me off first" I laughed.


We walked up to my door. "I think I left my guitar at your house. Do you mind if I pick it up at your house tomorrow?" I asked.


"Yeah sure" he replied. "Great see you tomorrow" I walked in the door.


"I wouldn't want to" he joked. "How rude" I said putting on a pouting face. "Well I wouldn't want to anyway" I tried getting back a him. "Sure you don't" he said sarcastically.


I laughed and I closed the door not aware that there were a jealous pair of eyes watching us.
