“I feel like a total ex-y now” she grinned
“Oh really?” asked George raising his eyebrows “Why’s that”
“I’m sitting in a café, wearing all black, drinking coffee, with a musician.” Gabrielle said “I’m practically Astrid’s double”
She was also wearing the same clothes that’s she had on the night before. Gabrielle felt she never needed a shower quite so badly in her life, but she didn’t quite want to leave George yet.
“You let her cut your hair then?” asked George, pointing to the limp fringe over her forehead.
“Yeah” Gabrielle blew at the fringe and it flipped up a little bit. “She wanted to cut it all off like hers. But she had to settled for a heavy and dramatic fringe.” she grinned at him “Are you going to let her do yours?”
“Erm….. Maybe”
“You should” she said, sipping her coffee delicately
“Really?” said George dryly, “Why?”
“Because… you’d be unique and all that rubbish” she said, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
“Oh yes. How could I forget”
“Well you know Stu let her cut his and he’s…uh…. “ Gabrielle faltered, not wanting to say what she was originally going to say, “He’s got er….. Great hair… nice. Wonderful”
George raised one eyebrow. Something Gabrielle always sort of envied of him. George had a very expressive face, and when he raised one eyebrow, it looked incredibly questioning. When she did it her face just sort of spasmed. It didn’t work as well.
“What….?” he asked “What were you gonna say?”
“Nothing” she said a bit to quickly “Just, he has nice hair”
“Yes” George grinned impishly “I know you, that wasn’t it… oh come on. Tell me”
“Er…” why not “Stuart’s dead sexy, mostly impart to his hair”
George blinked a few times and then buried his face n his arms, cackling madly. “You think Stu’s er…. Good looking”
“George” she said simply “Are you blind?”
“No” he countered “I don’t check out other blokes though” he paused “Funny, I never knew you had a thing for Stu…”
Gabrielle snorted “Georgie, everyone in Liverpool with a *uterus* has a thing for Stu.”
“Really?”
She nodded
“More birds then Pete?”
She considered this “More girls would rather Shag Stu. Pete’s cute, Stu’s sexy”
“Ok” George sighed “What bout the rest of us”
“Well, she giggled “You’re the beautiful baby apparently”
George shot her a look “Not funny”
“Yes it is” she grinned “And everyone thinks John is oddly hilarious and they think Paul is a huge attention addict. Well, that’s what everyone in Liverpool thought. That’s about as much as I’m getting from the Germans. I think half of them want to shag you as well though.”
George was quiet for a minute “Gab?”
“Yes?”
“People back home don’t call me the beautiful baby do they?”
“Er…” she said “Well they don’t say it in German at least”
“Brilliant”
She patted his hand “Get the ex-y cut and maybe more girls will just want to shag you instead of you know…”
“Feed me?”
“Yeah” she giggled “You’re wasting away Georgie boy”
He sighed “Ok, let’s go over to Astrid’s” he said “She should be home from class by now. You take a shower and I’ll have a chat with her about me fucking hair”
