5pm 21st September - Kenwood

[cyn_lennon64]

Having realised that I hadn't been very sociable of late, I decided to throw a party of sorts to celebrate the imminent return of John and the other boys from America. I say "of sorts" because I didn't think I'd be up to anything more thrilling than pouring tea and having a good old natter with the rest of the girls. Even that I needed someone to

Cynthia had asked me if I wanted to come over to Kenwood for a small get together to celebrate our boys' arrival home. I was delightedly agreed, knowing my social calendar was lacking actual events, with the exception of work activities.

The heavy wooden door into Kenwood was opened for us and I could see all the screaming fans out the window, pounding on the sides of my car.

"Don't dent the car, girls," The driver angrily spat out to them and I giggled, hoping he would do a little more than scold them with words. "The Beatles are in America, go back to your magazines."

The car pulled up to the front step and I thanked the driver repeatedly for putting those girls in their places. After watching the conference, I wasn't too keen on any fans anymore. I slid off my seat, shutting the door behind me and skipping up the front step. I was eager to see Cynthia again and catch up with the others. Knocking on the door softly, I began to smooth out my hair, waiting patiently for someone to answer.

Coincidences...I was getting far too many of them lately for my liking. Seemed as though every time I got invited to do something anymore, it was on a night I didn't have work and had planned to go out on the town--shop, drink a little, have a bit of fun. But Cyn had phoned, asked me over, and I certainly couldn't turn her down with such an excuse...and anyway, I hadn't seen the others for quite some time; I couldn't deny that I would enjoy some actual company. As I'd reminded myself, most of my friends were busy tonight and I would have looked a little pathetic going out to a club on my own

Summoned by the doorbell, I began to make my way downstairs. So huge was Kenwood that, once I had made my way to the front door, both Pattie and Jane were waiting there. I smiled at them, feeling nervous again but also pleased that they had come. They always seemed so very busy, with their glamorous careers taking them off all over the place while I stayed at home with my small family that would never be quite so small again

I nodded, smiling, at Cynthia's friend and held out my hand to shake. "Lovely to meet you," I said. She grinned back--a smooth, easy smile--and I had a feeling I would like her.

Jane and I headed up to the attic, marveling appropriately at the partway-finished room. Even with the unfinished bits, it was easy to see that it would be incredible.

Really, even with Cynthia being pregnant, I had no idea what such a small family would do with it all.
