Chapter 10 – Until my heart explodes
After Gerard told me he couldn't meet up after school on the Thursday I was a little disappointed as I laid on my bed, blasting The Misfits out of my iPod. I had my eyes shut, focusing on the guitars in the music, not the singing. Sometimes people only listen to that part of songs, but if you listen to the instruments, the song can sound completely different than you originally thought. My phone vibrated pulling me out of my trance. It was from Gerard.
'Sorry I couldn't do anything tonight Frank, had to have 'family time' :P Xo'
I smiled and pulled the phone to my chest, thinking about how to reply. Deliberating whether to flirt or not. I decided in the end, that I was going to.
'Don't worry about it, but you owe me ;) Xo' I hesitated before pressing send. Now I had to wait for a reply, I hated sending texts like that, every second seemed like ten minutes. I got up and looked at myself in my cracked mirror on my wardrobe door. I really needed to get a new one. I pushed the hair away from my eyes and realised I had what some people would call a 'natural glow', I hadn't looked so happy in a long time and it was all thanks to Gee. My phone vibrated again and I almost jumped on my bed to get it. I laid down on my front, with my legs in the air before opening the new message.
'Oh I will, trust me ;) What are you doing after school tomorrow? Xo' I got little butterflies in my stomach as I read the text. I knew he wanted to meet up and I could tell he had something in mind.
'You tell me Xo' I sent my reply, went downstairs to get a coffee and when I went back upstairs I'd had no reply from Gee. I put my mug down on my desk and turned my IPod off. Maybe I should have replied differently, I thought. I sighed and decided I'd go to bed.
When I woke up, I immediately checked my phone and to my relief I had received a text from Gerard. My phone must have had no signal.
'You're coming to the movies with me, going to bed. Night. Xo'
Good, he didn't expect me to reply. As I was getting ready for school, I couldn't help but think about what was going to happen that night. He was taking me to the movies, technically it was a date? Suddenly I became nervous, I'd never been on a date with a dude before. I imagine it's not much different from going out with a girl. I slapped myself for being so stupid; besides, I had no reason to be nervous. I felt so comfortable around Gerard.
School crept by slowly, Jen didn't come into school. She must have been too embarrassed to face the class. I smiled as I remembered the events of the day before. I saw Gerard by his locker, we had the next lesson together. I ran up and hugged him, catching him unaware.
"Hello Gee-Gee" I laughed, before placing a kiss on his lips. Seeing him smile at me, made me smile even more.
"Why the good mood?" He shut his locker, took my hand and we walked to free period together.
"We're going on a date, remember?"
"Oh yea, I forgot about that" He joked, his voice had become a little more husky. More seductive. I couldn't go to the lesson after hearing him talk like that. I walked him straight past the door to our lesson.
"Erm Frank? Where are we going?" He asked confused.
"Somewhere else." I didn't actually know where I was going until I saw the empty art room that was never used anymore due to the new extension of the school. The room was dark, as the windows had been covered with black paper, it let a little thin strip of light in. It had a musky, familiar smell of paint.
"What movie did you want to watch tonight then?" I turned to Gerard, who was standing a lot closer to me than I'd originally thought. That glint in his eye again.
"It's up to you" he muttered, clearly uninterested in that topic of conversation. I stared into his eyes and the next thing I knew our lips had collided. He ran his tongue along my bottom lip, my legs began to give way. I parted my lips and our tongues began sliding along each other. Gerard pushed me back onto the table behind me never once leaving my lips. I threw my hands to the back of his head, increasing the intensity of the kiss. He positioned himself on top of me, much like how we were at his house when Mikey walked in, instead this time it was much more passionate. I could feel myself hardening, made even worse when I felt Gerard was experiencing the same thing. He groaned into my lips, kissing me so forcefully, I thought my heart was going to explode. That's when we decided it was probably best to stop, we didn't want to be caught making out in a classroom. And if we hadn't stopped it probably would have led to something more.
"Fuck. Frank." Gerard moaned between breaths.
"I know, that was... That was just... Wow" I was speechless. I never knew something as small as making out could be so much fun.
"If it's like that just making out, imagine what it's going to be like when we fuck" He gave me a crooked smile and I'd never wanted him more.
