Aww Pickles, My Neighbor is A Hottie

***Karie's POV***

I left the spa feeling refreshed and calm. With the boys gone I could do whatever I pleased. I didn't know when they were coming back, but there was pizza in the fridge if they were hungry. I decided to look in some stores and use my Christmas money on new clothes. I went straight for Zumies because that place was my main clothing store. I grabbed some galaxy leggings and a black top. I liked to have matched outfits before I bought them. I hated going home without a top to match something and I was 100% sure I didn't have anything to match my leggings. I bought a new beanie to go with it and headed out of that store. It bothered me how one pair of leggings, a top, and a beanie drained out my gift card so fast. Gerard had gotten me a Hot Topic gift card because he said I would like their clothes. I never really shopped their before. I had money to spend and no one to tell me how, so why not start now? I headed into the store to hear Nirvana being played. I nodded my head to the beat.

"Load up your gun, bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over bored and self assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word

Hello, hello, how low?" (You know the rest. btw this is Smells Like Teen Spirit. My favorite song)

I sung to myself while searching through the clothes. The clothes here were beautiful and I couldn't stop obsessing over all the band tees. They had everything and anything. Nirvana, Beatles, All Time Low, and All American Rejects. I kept searching for more bands I knew. There were bands that people told me to listen to, but I was to stubborn to even try. I looked up to see a Smashing Pumpkin shirt. Yes! They were my favorite band, but I didn't like to admit it. I was scared people would like them. I grabbed a tee and looked for my size.

"Great band." An employee walked over and started to pick up the shirts on the ground.

"One of my favorites." I gleamed. He smiled and nodded.

"You know who you would like then? A band called Papa Roach. There flipping amazing. Here take this CD. It's mine so you don't have to pay for it. Come back anytime and tell me what you think." He handed me a CD called Infest. I thanked him, bought my stuff, and headed home. I threw on the CD in the car. A song called 'Last Resort' came on. I fell in love from the instant they came on. I jammed out and drove around town not wanting the CD to ever end.
My phone started to ring.

"Where are you?" Gerard asked as soon as I answered.

"Chilling. Why?" I asked.

"It's almost ten. I was scared you got in a car accident with my baby." He sighed in relief. I was driving his car because I didn't have one any more.

"Thanks for caring about me." I mumbled. He laughed and hung up. I guess it was time to go home. I headed towards my house and went inside. I had a secret fear of the dark because of all the scary movies I watched as a kid. I brought all my shopping bags inside. I loved being pampered and today being pampered wasn't a way to describe how I felt. I felt like a god. I don't know why, but it had to do with the spa. I had never been to an actual spa and it felt fucking good. I went into my room to see Gerard sleeping on the bed. I put all my shit down and got in bed with him.

"Finally. I couldn't fall asleep without you." He grinned with his eyes still closed. I rolled my eyes.

"What am I, your secret teddy bear." I laughed. He nodded violently.

"Of course." He wrapped him self around me. I fixed myself into a better position. He put me back where I was.

"Don't move me." I pouted.

"If I don't you'll crush my crotch." He pulled me closer.

"Oh." I blushed and closed my eyes.

"So how was the city?" I asked as we ate breakfast. Gerard instantly looked at Bryan and eyed him. Bryan nodded and then smiled at me.

"Good. Gerard brought me to the Christmas Tree. We need to get one like that next year. It was huge." Bryan threw his arms up to exaggerate the hugeness of the tree. I eyed Gerard to see if he was doing anything suspicious. He was just eating his cereal.

I will find out Gerard. I will.
