-Gerard's P.O.V.-
As we parked in front of our apartment complex we both jumped out of the car and started walking towards our apartments.
"Hey, what was up back there?" I asked, curious on why we left Starbucks in such a panic.
"Oh nothing, nothing," she replied in a hurry. "It's just that... Well, my mom said she was going to bring me my dog from Windsor." She added in a nervousness voice.
Was she lying? I hope not.
"Here," I said grabbing her by the waist and pulling her up close to me. "I'll walk you home."
"Oh thanks!" She said sarcastically. "Haha, my apartment is 5 feet away!"
"So?" I said, squeezing her into me a little closer., then turning towards her as we stopped in front her her door.
"Here we are." I said in a low tone. I gazed into her eyes. One bright blue, and the other a gorgeous green. Then without hardly thinking I started to bend forward. Just as my lips were about to touch her soft pink lips when she backed away quickly.
"Sorry." She said rushing into her apartment.
"Shit." I quietly yelled at myself. "There you go again Gerard! Fucking up more and more everytime."
-Krystal's P.O.V.-
Fuck. Friends don't kiss... Do they? No. The images of him in his boxers rushed back to me. No!!! They don't. But poor Gerard. Without giving myself time to think I rushed out my door and over to Gerard and said "Give me your hand."
"Here." He said with a smile masking the sadness and disappointment he felt.
I quickly scribbled my number onto his hand with the pen I found in my pocket.
As I walked away I heard Gerard's voice say "Krystal." And felt a hand on my shoulder.
"I'm sorry." He mutters so I could hardly hear it.
"It's okay Gerard... Text me sometime."

As my mom left my apartment with a "Be good now dear!"
As I laid down Charlie's bed he ran over and started licking my face. Oh how good it felt to have a piece of home.
"Oh Charlie!!!!!!! I missed youuuuu!!" I said rubbing his face.
i heard a knock at the door and heard franks voice calling "Krystal. Hey, you home?"
"Charlie, sit!" I said snapping my fingers so my dog would stay and not attack my boyfriend.
"Hey!" I said, happy as can be since I got my Charlie back.
"Krystal...we need to talk." Frank said, looking strait into my eyes. I could tell it was serious.
"Okay..." I said stepping out of my apartment.
"I saw you today... At the coffee shop." She said. My heart started racing around in my chest and I tried to think of what to say.
"We... We were just getting to know each other over lunch." I could see him relax as he shoulders got less tense and his breathing got lighter.
"Thank god. I thought you were cheating!" He said with his cute laugh.
"Haha!" I said in a more nervousness voice then intended.
"Yeah, so you wanna go get a bite to eat?" He asked now smiling and clearly more cheerful.
"Here, pass me your hand." I said grabbing the pen from my pocket. "I can't right now because I need to walk my dog, but call me or text me later." I said while I etched my phone number into his hand.
"Okay." He said pulling me into an innocent, but passionate kiss.
"I'll see you then!"
