Everything was low-key until this morning.

The Beatles had come and gone and everything was slowly winding down. I was wiping the glass while Brian talked to some customers and practiced some numbers on his guitar. I looked back to see two maybe 13 year old boys and a younger girl watching Brian do the slide for I Wanna Be Your Man.

I quietly came up and watched as the three kids sat at Brian's feet, he had his eyes closed and seemed like he was in his own world.

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

Brian's POV:

I really had to tell Katie something.

But, I didn't have the freaking guts to say it yet, would she still love me?

Would she say, forget it, I don't want a long term relationship?

I just didn't want to tell her yet because everything was perfect. And I didn't want to ruin it. . no way.

So, I'd come over all prepared to tell her, except I kinda brought my guitar with me.

"I'll just practice," I said nervously while pulling a chair across the floor and setting up. She bit her lip and nodded. Now, here I sit, my eyes closed, practicing all alone while Katie wipes the window.

"Wow!! That's amazing mister!"

Huh?

I opened my eyes slowly and looked at the cute little face in front of me.

The little girl looked to be about 10 years old and two wide eyed 13 year old boys stood behind her. I laughed softly and set my guitar on the floor, the girl's eyes stayed on my eyes as the boys eyes followed my guitar. I looked down at the guitar, then to the boys' faces. One looked like he was just copying what the other did, but not very well for the other boy looked completely and utterly fascinated, he kind of reminded me, of me.

"Hey, you wanna try?" I asked gently, holding out my guitar to the boy.

He looked at me and whispered what I think was "really?".

I nodded, smiling, "I wanna see what you can do"

He took the guitar from me and held it as if it were made of glass. I handed him a pick and he looked up at me nervously, chewing on his bottom lip.

"Well, go on, what can ya do?" I prodded him forward gently and he strummed the strings softly. "Try some notes" I said pointing to the first string "G, F and E, try it"

He looked from me to the guitar then to his friend and the 10 year old girl, his sister maybe?

Then he played.

And oh boy, did he play.

This kids a natural.

I watched, fascinated, as his little fingers went up and down. Then he started strumming and burst into a song. This kid must be gifted!

Then, all of a sudden, he stopped, looked sheepishly at his fingers, then handed me the guitar back. "Kid, that was amazing, seriously" I couldn't help but say.

"Uhm, thanks mister, I. .um. . I was just letting my fingers do stuff" he said a little breathlessly. "We should probably go now, Shawn? Flo?"

He looked at the little girl and his friend, the other boy nodded while the girl looked at me again. "Come On!" She suddenly screeched, I looked at her in surprise, she started jumping up and down.

"My older sister has a record and it has YOU on the front mister!" She smiled really wide and pointed to me, I chuckled a bit.

"Can I buy your song mister, can I buy Come On?" She asked with wide eyes, then she turned to the boy who'd played my guitar, "Matt? Can I get his record pleeease?" She started shaking his shoulder lightly, "please please please"

Matt rolled his eyes and dropped some coins in her hand. She turned to go find the record when Katie turned up out of the blue. "Here you go" she smiled down at the little girl and handed her the single, the little girl then dropped the coins in her hand in Katie's hand. But then Katie handed a marker to her, "why don't you get Brian to sign that for you, make your sister jealous a little?" She laughed good-heartedly and the little girl walked up to me shyly, "can you sign my record please mister?"

She handed me the record and marker and I asked her her name.

"Flo" she said sweetly, with her hands behind her back.

"Alright, To Flo, I hope you like our sound! Brian Jones how's that?" I said while writing just that, I handed it back to her and she smiled really wide, "thank you Brian!" She said while Matt and Shawn started toward the door. "You get a guitar Matt, you're great at playing!" I yelled after them as they left.

When I turned around Katie was looking at me.

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

Katie's POV:

"You're a sweetheart you know that?"

I told him while grabbing his hand. He spun me around the room and I twirled before falling into his arms.

He looked at me and we kissed, right in the middle of the store. "Lets go do something" he said when we'd stopped, "lets go get lunch"

"Ok" I smiled and hung a sign on the door that said 'Be Back After Lunch!'

He took me to the restaurant where we'd first kissed and we ate quietly, I could just tell he had something to tell me, I could only pray that it was good news though.

After, we web walking along the Thames and watched the river go along.

"I have something to tell you" he said suddenly.

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

Brian's POV:

Here we go!

"Katie?"

"Yes?"

"We're going on tour, we're gunna be gone for a while, I'm not gunna see you all that much-"

"Oh my god Brian!" She said as her eyes grew wide, then she tackled me with a hug and whispered in my ear, "you're making it! You're gunna be famous!"

I was just shocked by her reaction.

"You mean you still want to be a couple even though I'll be gone for months?" I asked timidly, fiddling with my hands.

She looked at the setting sun for what seemed like hours, then she looked at my eyes, took my hand and

She

Said

Yeah.
