I've Just Seen A Face 💕Paul McCartney

Chapter 43 "Three of us"

Victoria's POV.

I don't know why George said those things, but I think I got his point. Why not tell us about it first? Wait... I think I know what happened. He must have heard me saying I love Paul. I feel very bad. This is the kind of thing I wanted to avoid. Poor George... I was being too irresponsible around Paul; of course George noticed.

We really enjoyed my parents visit; they love Paul now. Who knew? It felt like I never left home, but only Damian was missing to have my family complete. He's sent some letters sometimes, and we always reply; he's very busy at work. He's grown so much professionally traveling around the country. I'm proud of him.

"Uhh, I'm going to put Michelle to bed" Paul said a bit awkward as I closed the door after my parents just left.

"I'll be right with you" I said.

He nodded, and walked away to the bedroom.

George just stood there in front of me now knowing what to say. He had his hands on his pockets looking down. "Uhh... I-I think you're going to say I own you an explanation huh?" He chuckled nervously as he looked up at me.

"No... I do. If you heard me saying what I said, it's just-"

"It's not what you said..." He walked towards me; he stood very close "It's what I saw..." He said as he grabbed my cheek.

Oh no. The dirty scene?!?!

"Oh okay... what did you see then?"

"I saw Michelle's parents loving each other in secret because George is in the way..." He chuckled as he shook his head.

"Uhh...?"

"Vicky. You know I'm not like that. I can't be selfish, and pretend I don't see it. I just can't be in the middle of two people who still have feelings for each other. I thought you both didn't, or at least at the beginning when you separated, then, I guess I was trying to force myself to believe it was still that way after Sophie spoke the truth. And I had been thinking about it for a while, y'know? I got these constant flashbacks about how you both fought to be together not caring about the world going crazy, Paul leaving the group, you running away from home, and then... having a child. It was too obvious, why would I want to keep lying to myself? It's not fair for me, and it's not fair for you two either. Michelle deserves to be with both of her parents who never stopped loving each other"

Oh wow... I really thought George didn't know a thing.

"Oh George.... I really don't know what to say. You are so kind. It doesn't matter if things with Paul and me are okay now, I still feel bad for having you feeling insecure about this for a while"

"Come on, Vicky. Don't feel bad. I'm the one who should feel bad about making you stay with me. You think I didn't notice you wanted to stay because you didn't want to hurt me? I did, Vicky, and thank you so much for caring, but something had to be done, and seeing Paul holding his daughter to make her stop crying, with you sitting beside them, had definitely had to be the thing to make me open my eyes, and act on it"

The world needs more people like George.

"George...?" Paul walked in slowly. "I'm so sorry"

"I forgive you. Think twice before letting me babysit your pregnant adopted girlfriend" He joked as he crossed his arms.

We shared a little laugh.

"If I ever thought otherwise, I was wrong, you are the best friend anyone could ask for" He said quietly as he looked at him in the eyes.

"Thank you" He nodded as he smiled.

Even though I spent very little time living with George, I'm really going to miss living with him.
