[also, christmas gathering :3]
Rachel Starkey was a horrible drunk. And Paul based that on experience. Just a few bottles and she would be wasted as fuck.

"Just a sip?" She pouted, doing her best impression of Paul's puppy dog eyes. "I promise I won't be shit-faced like that other time!"

"You, young lady, are sticking to water. No beer, no gin and especially no wine."

She looked horrified. She made a 'scream' impression, her hands dragging down her face as her mouth fell open. "B-But wine---"

"Nu uh, no wine and anything liquor-related. And that is final." He sassed, putting his hands on his hips.

------------

"Rachie!"

"What?" She asked ever so innocently, her blue eyes big. Paul motioned to the wine glass in her hand.

"Oh, this? George handed it to me." She smirked, taking a sip of her wine.

Paul took the glass away from her--- she was already fucking tipsy---- and drank from it.

"One more glass and that's it." He said before handing it back to her.

"Is she... tipsy already?" George asked, eyes trained on her.

He nodded. "She's a horrible drunk."

------------

"Yeeaah oh baby! Woo hoo oooh baby! Some fun tonight!"

The three cheered as Paul hit the notes perfectly. He flashed Rachel a playful wink before facing the screen again.

"Well Long Tall Sally's built pretty sweet, she got everything that Uncle John need! Oh baby, yeah now baby! Woo baby, some fun tonight!"

Out of the corner of his eye he saw Rachel whisper something to George and he blushed madly at that. He grinned and continued singing.

The numbers racked up and---

"One hundred! Take that John!" He raised his arms up in the air. The latter rolled his eyes but laughed along. Paul tossed the microphone to Rachel.

Her eyes widened in alarm. "I-I erm---"

"Hey, you promised you'd sing!" George teased.

She passed the microphone to him. "You first." She insisted, crossing her arms.

"Ugh fine, but I choose what you're singin'."

"Woo go Gear!" John cheered.

He flipped through the book and found what he wanted. The music started and he cleared his throat.

"Oh! I know that song!" Paul clapped his hands together.

"Something in the way she moves, attracts me like no other lover. Something in the way she woos me," He sang, sneaking a peek on Rachel. She was humming along. "I don't want to leave her now. You know I believe and how~"

He nodded his head to the guitar part. He licked his lips before singing again. "Somewhere in her smile she knows... That I don't need no other lover."

-------------

Rachel was shivering. George's voice was... beautiful. It was rough but smooth and the way he hit the notes.

"Something in her style that shows me. I don't want to leave her now. You know I believe and how~"

She hummed the guitar tune, swaying her head to the beat.

"You're asking me will my love grow
I don't know, aahhhh don't know!"

She bit her lip. She loved everything about his voice, his accent, the way he sings. The way he sang ah instead of I took her breathe away.

"Go Georgie!" Paul giggled, comfortably snuggled in John's side. His arm was around him, too.

"You stick around and it may show... I don't know, I don't know!"

-------------

He had a brilliant idea form in his head. He didn't know if it was because he was a bit tipsy or deep inside he really wanted to do it.

Oh fuck it, he thought before standing up.

"Gear?" Rachel asked in her soft, lovely voice.

He took her hand and gently pulled her up.

"Something in the way she knows," He looked deep into her eyes. "And all I have to do is think of her..." He smiled at her, butterflies in his stomach when Rachel blushed.

She was biting her lip. She looked so cute. "George..."

"Something in the things she shows me..." He sang softly. "I don't want to leave her now. I know I believe and how..."

Rachel noticed the change in lyrics. And she also noticed George leaning in slowly. v

Their noses bumped and-----

--------------

"Woah! Hey!"

The two jumped apart at Paul's exclaim. He was grinning, squealing. John would've wacked him there and there for ruining the moment if he wasn't so bloody handsome.

"I-I--- Yeah.." Rachel mumbled, eyes going everywhere but George's eyes.

"Uh... It's your turn by the way." George stumbled, a small grin forming in his face.

"W-What should I sing?" She asked quietly, looking down on her vans.

"Something Taylor Swift?" He shrugged. Rachel noticed that he was still holding her hand.

"That's a bit difficult. I can't hit all tbe notes----"

"I'd help!" Paul offered.

------------

Their hands were still connected when they sat down.

Rachel breathed in, her heart pounding in her chest. What if George doesn't like her singing? And Taylor Swift. Out of all fucking artists he could've picked, George picked Taylor ducking Swift.

She took a sip of her wine to loosen up just before the song starts.

"Taylor Swift? Really George?" She mock-glared at him. He laughed instead and Rachel's annoyance was gone.

She grumbled instead. "Don't blame me if I sound horrible."

Paul was better suited for Tay Swift anyway.

-------------

The room went quiet when the first few tunes started.

Rachel licked her lips and sang.

"Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street..."

John stared at her with wonder. She didn't sound horrible. She sounded far from it.

"Faster than the wind, passionate as sin, ending so suddenly..."

Paul had to bite his lip just to contain the goofy smile about to form in his face. He saw George's eyes widen with astonishment.

"Loving him is like trying to change your mind once you're already flying through the free fall," She sang softly but her voice wavered a bit. George squeezed her hand reassuringly. She looked at him and smiled a bit. "Like the colors in autumn, so bright just before they lose it all..."

Paul watched as she started to gain courage. Her voice got stronger when she sang the chorus.

"Losing him was blue like I'd never known!
Missing him was dark grey all alone...
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met~" Her eyes melted when she looked at George.

Paul knew that look.

"But loving him was red." She finished, her voice smooth and tender.
