The Personal Assistant - COMPLETED

Just like we decided, things went back to normal, the new year came and I spent that alone at the apartment. Becky went out with her friends but I didn't want to join them. On Valentine's I took Bandit for a fun day leaving Gerard and Lindsey to have time alone.

Now it was April, Lindsey left for the newest MSI tour and I would be making sure Gerard would have an amazing birthday.

I had everything already planned, and I just hoped Gee would love it. Everything was fine between us, we still had fun and things really did go back to normal.

I woke up early on Gerard's birthday, arrived at his house at five in the morning. Things were quiet and still, Bandit wouldn't be up for a couple of hours, so I had time to work.

First I started to bake him his cake, once that was in the oven baking I worked on decorating the house. I decorated with anything and everything.

Balloons, streamers, I even made a banner. Once the cake was fully baked I had to decorate it. Now being a fan of Cake Boss I was ready to make this cake look amazing.

Of course my dream cake looked nothing like the one I made in reality. I tried my best and really hoped Gerard would like it. It was getting later, and I finally heard little feet running downstairs. "I smell something good!"

She yelled excitedly, I told her it was for her dad's birthday. Bandit ran back to her room, and raced back down carrying a small gift and a homemade card.

"These are for daddy!" I placed my gift on the table next to Bandit's, then placed the cake behind the presents.

"Okay let's go wake him up." She let out a small squee, we ran up to the master bedroom. I quietly opened the door and whispered, "go jump on him." I stayed at the door and watched her leap and land on him.

Gerard bolted up, grabbing "B" in his arms and laughing. "What do you think you're doing?" He laid her on the bed and began to tickle her.

Through her laughs I heard, "Shiloh help!" I ran to the them, Gerard stopped what he was doing. He looked up at me, his hazel eyes bright and hypnotizing. Okay so yes things were back to normal again but I still had feelings for him.

He gave me an evil smile and I tried to run but before I could he grabbed me, making me fall next to Bandit on the bed. "This was your idea I see." Gerard started to tickle me now, his fingers caressing my sides.

I was laughing so hard that my sides started to hurt. Gerard would go from Bandit to me, both of us getting the wrath of tickles.

"Gerard.....stop!" He did and all of us began to laugh even more. "Bandit and I have surprises downstairs for you."

"Oh you do, do you. Well let me take a shower and I will be down in a few."

"Hurry up daddy!" Bandit was excited to show her gift. We left to head back to the kitchen. She sat in a kitchen chair, coloring in a book. "Oh no!"

"What's wrong?"

"I forgot the party hats I made, they're in my room. We need them before daddy gets down here."

"Okay I'll go get them, stay put and color." I left and headed back up to B's room. My mind must have been lost in thought because instead of entering Bandit's room I opened the door to the master bedroom.

Standing there, drying his hair with the only towel was Gerard. He didn't see me, his back was to me and I couldn't move. I stared trying to move out of the room, but it was too late he turned around and saw me.

"Oh my God I'm so sorry!" I quickly backed out of the room and slammed the door behind me. Crap, why did I just stare? This wasn't good, he was going to fire me I know it. I was leaning on the door when it opened.

I fell backwards hitting the floor hard, standing above me was Gerard. "Uhh Shy, are you okay?"
"No." He smirked making me feel like an idiot.

"So uhh, did you like what you saw?" He giggled after asking the question. I closed my eyes hoping to wake up, when I opened them again Gerard was closer. He was now laying on the floor, his hands holding his head making him look like a little kid.

"What?"

"You saw me in my birthday suit on my birthday." He started giggling again, how was he so cool about this? I was mortified and scared. "So are you going to lay here all day or do I get cake?"

"I think I'm going to just lie here and wait to die from embarrassment. You go on ahead and eat cake though." He hopped up and grabbed my arms, "no leave me."

"I'm not going to let you die on me." He started to drag me towards the stairs, I couldn't believe he was dragging me. "Bandit, I need a nurse! Man down!" Soon enough Bandit was by my side. "She has several injuries, she needs kisses stat!"

Bandit started giving me little kisses trying to make me feel better, Gerard was on his knees watching. "Daddy is she better yet?"

"No, she needs more!"

"Maybe if we both gave her kisses she would get better." There was no way Gerard would......I was wrong. Soon he was kissing me all over, I couldn't take it I still had something for him.

"I'm better now!" The kissing stopped with Bandit hugging me. I wrapped my arms around her, "okay now can we celebrate your birthday?" I carried "B" downstairs and into the kitchen. Gerard followed behind, Bandit and I shouted "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"

We ate some cake which wasn't as bad as I thought. He then opened up Bandit's gift and read her card. She made him a macaroni necklace, decorated with paint and glitter. He put it on, "how do I look?"

"Oh just fabulous Gee."

"Yeah well I bet you can't beat this." He grabbed my gift and started to open it. His eyes widen from what I assume was shock. "Shy, how did you?" He couldn't complete his sentence. My gift was a comic he has been looking for, it was rare and he had no luck finding it. Another added thing was that it was autographed by the writer and illustrator.

"It's the right one, right?"

"Yes, I can't believe you found this." I'm a quick movement he had his arms wrapped around me in a tight hug. He smelled amazing and I didn't want him to let go. "You're so amazing Shy."

"Well you deserve it." I smiled at him, Bandit left to play and we sat to talk. "So I was trying to make this a good birthday, I asked Mikey and he's getting a group together to play D&D later tonight."

"This has been a very great birthday, thank you Shiloh." I got up to start the dishes. "Oh Shiloh I have a favor to ask."

"Oh and what's that?"

"My friend has a son who I think you would get along great with, I was hoping you two could go on a date if I set it up."

A date? Gerard was setting me up on a date? At that moment my heart sank as low as it could, Gerard really didn't have feelings for me anymore.
