~Chapter 9

"Really?" asked Kaithlyn as I told her about mine and George's kiss. I blushed and nodded. I have never felt this open to anyone before.


"Yeah it was...amazing" I said trying to find words to describe it.


"Your so lucky. How was compared it to your other kisses?" she asked me which I thought was a little too personal. I felt the back of my neck go hot and I got embarrassed.


"Um....I've never really kissed anyone before." I said suddenly interested in my shoes.


"But haven't you had a boyfriend before? Your 15." she said sarcastically. "Yeah I had one but I never kissed him" I felt my cheeks go red.


"Oh. Well I'm happy for you." she said awkwardly.


"Thanks I guess"


~**~


"Mom" she called as we walked in through her front door, "I'd like you to meet Julia." Her mother stopped doing whatever it was she was doing and turned around. She smiled at me and held out her for me to shake. "Hello, I'm Kaithlyn's mother but you can call me Mrs.Vanderbelt" I shook her hand. "Hi I'm Julia. Nice to meet you" I said trying to make a good first impression.


"Hey mum. Do you mind if Julia can stay over for a while" she asked eagerly.


"Well I suppose" she replied going back to work. Kaithlyn took my arm and dragged me to her room. It was a fairly sized room. There was a bed on the side of the wall. A messy desk filled with papers and pencils on the other side. There was also a little radio sitting on her nightstand. It was a white room and it had a window too.


"So, when did you guys move here" she asked as I sat on her bed. "About a 2 weeks ago." I answered almost instantly because there's always a followup question that I hate to answer. I had a feeling she was about to ask it.


"Why"


Yep there it is. My throat felt dry and I felt like I was gonna cry. I always get emotional when I think about my father.


"Well...um...about a month ago my father died. My mother and I were devastated. She decided to move here because she wanted a better life. She wanted to find a job here and she wanted to forget about the painful memories of my father." I realized that I was explaining to myself what happed as well. Not just to Kaithlyn.


"I'm so sorry" she said and she wrapped her arm around me. I felt the tears going away. "Its okay. I'm starting a better life and if I hadn't moved I never would have met you." I gave her a small smile.


~**~


"I have to go now" I said as I looked at the clock while waiting for my nails to dry. "Its almost time for dinner and my mother would be getting worried."


"Do you have to go now?" Kaithlyn complained. "Yeah but I'll see you at school tomorrow." I said. I gave her a hug and went on my way.


As I was walking I bumped into someone who I didn't see. I looked up and I recognized him instantly.


"Oh hey Julia" Paul greeted.


"Hi"


"Um, were are you headed?" he asked trying to start a conversation. "I'm headed home. I just came from a friends house and I'm kind of lost" I stated.


"Do you mind if I walk ya? I'm headed home too and you live about block away." he asked nervously. "Um...okay" I said grateful that he knows the way home.


"So, are you coming to the next band practice" asked Paul. "Sure when is it?" I asked. "Its tomorrow same time same place" he answered. "Yeah I'll definitely be there" I said happily.


"Great I want to show you this new song I wrote and I wanted to see if you'd like it"


"I'm sure it'll be great. Did you write it all by yourself?" I asked curiously. "Well me and John wrote it together" he explained. "Neat. I couldn't write a song to save my life" I joked. Paul laughed.


"No I'm serious. I tried to write a song once and it sounded like a dying cat" I said remembering how bad it had sounded. "Do you play an instrument?" he asked. "I play play piano and a little guitar." I said.


"I'd like to hear you play sometime."


"No you don't. I'm really bad at the guitar and I'll probably make your ears bleed so you won't be able to hear anymore" I said. Paul laughed some more.


"I'm sure you can't be that bad" he said trying to be nice. "Then your gonna have to hear me play then." I laughed.


"Okay then. How about after practice you can stay behind and you can play. Then maybe I can show you how to play guitar if you suck" he teased.


"Way to make me believe in myself," I laughed, "Okay but your going to regret it."


We walked up to my house and I waved to Paul as he walked away and he waved back. Then it hit me.


I just made a date with Paul McCartney.
