I woke up to Gerard's light snoring. I opened my eyes and was shocked to see him still in my bed. I thought he would have left after I fell asleep. I poked his face and he stopped snoring. He opened his eyes and looked at me. We smiled at each other. We stared at each other for a bit, then Gerard started moving towards me.

I didn't bother moving, because I really couldn't. I didn't know how I should react. He moved closer before I finally figured out how to react. I moved towards him and we kissed. I had yearned for this kiss for a very long time. He cupped my face and continued kissing me. It was soft and passionate.

My lips tingled and I could feel the butterflies in my stomach. I wanted more, so much more, but knew we had to stop. Unwillingly, I pulled back. I looked into Gerard's eyes and saw a sparkle, but I also saw hurt.

"You should probably go back to the air mattress. I don't think my parents would want us near each other anymore if they saw us like this." I turned away from Gerard. I had tears in my eyes because I didn't want him to leave my bed, and because of the hurt I saw in his eyes.

"You're probably right." I felt Gerard move around on the bed. I thought he had gotten up, but he moved closer to gently take my face in his hands. I tried not to look into his eyes, but I couldn't help it. They were a dazzling hazel, with a special twinkle as he looked at me. He kissed my one last time. "It's okay, trust me." He whispered in my ear before leaving the bed. He went to the mattress and laid down.

I looked at my hands and just started thinking. Before I had become too lost in my thoughts, I heard Gerard humming that tune again.

"What exactly are you humming Gerard?" It slightly bothered me that I couldn't figure out what the tune was.

"Hm? Oh, it's just a song that I've been writing." His cheeks took on light pink color.

"Can I hear it? It sounds good so far." I wanted to hear his lyrics, I'm sure they would be great.

"Um, it's not finished yet. I'll sing it for you once I've got it all put together."

"Cool. I can't wait to hear it Gee." I wish he would sing what he has, but I won't make him. A little while later, I smelt something. It smelt like pancakes. My mom made the best pancakes ever, and she put in chocolate chips.

I ran out of my room, down the stairs, and into the kitchen. Somehow, I managed to miss the smell of bacon. I saw pancakes, bacon, and eggs on the counter. I guess the power came back on. I mean, how else could my mom have made the fucking food? I'm such a ditz at times. Too confirm this, I have just noticed the coffee. It had been so long since mom made breakfast like this. I was drooling.

"Kate, why does it look like you have sex hair?" My mom asked. I couldn't believe my mom had asked me this.

"Oh, you know, some guy was knocking on the door last night. So I let him in the house. We managed to be quiet. He and I didn't even wake up Gerard." I winked at my mom and she looked horrified. She realized I was joking and hit my butt with the spatula she had. "Oh yes! I'm sure everyone would love an ass-tasting pancake, mother." I laughed and she just shook her head.

"What did you just say?" Gerard walked into the kitchen and looked a bit baffled.

"Mom's making pancakes and they're going to taste like my ass." I grinned at him. His face looked shocked and amused at the same time.

"Kate Way! The only person that's getting a pancake that tastes like ass is her, Gerard." My mom glared at me.

"Yay! I love ass-cakes! No, I'll call them pan-ass-cakes. Yes. I have decided. I shall eat pan-ass-cakes." Gerard and my mom were laughing at my weirdness. "Where's dad?" I asked. He wasn't in here laughing about my pan-ass-cakes.

"He had to leave for work really early." My mom answered.

"Ah. That sucks." Dad said that trees were knocked down from last nights storm. That must have been fun to deal with this morning. Mom finished our pan-ass-cakes and we had a nice breakfast together. Mom left for work and it was just Gerard and I. Alone.
