Maybe They'll Leave You Alone But Not Me

Gerard walked in with a look of worry on his face.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing, just thinking.”

“Oh, well the timer on the dryer went off.”

“Okay, let’s go do the laundry.” We walked to the laundry room together and began to fold our clothes. Gerard hit me playfully with his t-shirt playfully. I giggled and hit him back with my towel.

“Hey meanie! No hitting with t-shirts.”

“Who’s going to stop me?” he asked in a challenging tone.

“I will!” as I said as I jumped on him. He fell down laughing and I landed on top of him. He started to tickle me and I fought to get away but he just wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed me. All the fight left me as I kissed him back. As our kiss turned down a more intense path, a flare of panic rose up in me again.

“Irina, we don’t have to. I can wait. You are worth waiting for.” He whispered.

“I’ve never been with anyone else. He….he…” I started to tear up. Gerard brought my head to his chest and petted my hair.

“Shh, it’s okay. You know, I’ve never been with anyone else. You are pretty much the only girlfriend I’ve been really serious about. You can even ask Mikey. I dated about two other girls, but it didn’t work out.” I looked up at him in shock.

“Only two? But you’re amazing. I think you’re pulling one on me.”

“Need me to call Mikey? He’ll tell you. I just wasn’t worried about girls. The last girlfriend I had was right before I was consumed in drugs and alcohol.” His voice broke on the last few words. I hugged him tight. He squeezed me back before pulling us up into a sitting position. We finished folding our laundry and talked about dinner plans. We halted our conversation to put our clothes in our room. As I was putting away my tees, Gerard knocked on my door and stood in the doorway.

“Irina?”

“Yeah, what’s up?”

“Will you go on a dinner date with me? Tonight?” I looked at him. He was blushing slightly that made him look younger and incredible adorable. I smiled at him and skipped over to him.

“Of course I will!” I said, happy for a reason to dress up cute for him.

“Great. Wear something nice and be ready by 7.”

“Okay Gee.”

“What’d you call me?”

“Gee? Why is that wrong?”

“No, I actually like it.” He said as he grabbed my waist and proceeded to kiss me. I smiled beneath him and pushed him out of my room.

“Go finish whatever you need to finish. I need to clean my room.” He poked his bottom lip out, pouting. I shut the door behind him and turned and looked at my room. Wow, I never noticed the mess, I thought. I set my mp3 for my Happy playlist and cleaned my room until it was 5:30.

***********************************************************************************************************************
*Gerard’s POV*

While Irina cleaned her room, I went to mine and did more paperwork while I made dinner reservations for us at Ray’s restaurant. He picked up his cell after the third ring.

“Hey Gerard! Long time, no see. I heard about Helena. I’m sorry man.”

“Hey Ray, Thanks. Been awhile. Can I ask a favor?”

“Sure! Anything you need.”.

“Thanks. My girlfriend and I are hoping for a reservation at 7:30. I’m sorry it’s last minute.”

“No problem! I have it all covered. It’s on the house!”

“I can pay for it Ray.”

“I know you can, but this is for friends. I’ll get it and in return you can let me host my annual staff party at the diner.”

“I can do that. What day?”

“How’s a week from Friday sound?”

“That’s perfect. Thanks Bro.”

“Anytime. Can’t wait to meet this girl tonight.”

“Her name’s Irina.”

“Nice name. See you tonight!”

“Later!” Ray hung up and I put my phone down as I planned on what to wear for tonight. I chose my black skinny jeans, a dark grey dress shirt, and a vest. I topped the ensemble off with a pair of grey converse. I smiled as I set my selections on my bed and got in the shower. I scrubbed my hair extra hard so that it didn’t look greasy. I go out and put on my outfit. It was only 6:30 by the time I was ready to go, so I sat on the couch and dozed off.

“Gerard. Gerard, wake up.” I opened my eyes to find a very beautiful Irina shaking me. Her silver hair hung in curls around her carefully made up face. She wore a silky white tank that she tried on for me at the Black Widow. Black skinny jeans clung to her hips in an alluring way. Black flats adorned her feet. She was stunning in a way that made my mouth run dry and words slip from my mind.

“You look beautiful. Absolutely amazing, sweetheart.” She blushed and grabbed my hand.

“Thank you. Now, come on or we’ll be late.” We walked hand and hand to the car. I opened her door and closed it after she settled in. I got in and started the car.

“Where are we going?” she asked giddily.

“It’s a surprise.”

“Oh, come on! Please?”

“It’s a friend’s place. Actually, he is in a partnership with the owners.”

“Oh cool!” The drive was short, but as we pulled into the Sage parking lot, I looked over at her. She nervously glanced at all the cars, but was excitedly glancing at the people in evening finery. I parked in the back and ran around to open Irina’s door for her. We laced arms and walked inside and up to the host’s podium.

“Reservation for Gerard Way for two.”

“I’m sorry sir. There isn’t a..”

“Gerard! And you must be Irina.” Ray said as he approached us. “Lucille, these two are at table 52 on me. Their bill also comes to me. Right this way.” Ray led us to a table that was outside on a terrace. Music played softly from a violinist a few tables away. The table had a small bouquet in the middle composed red and white roses. The terrace overlooked a pond, with the moonlight reflecting off the glimmering water. Irina slid into her chair and Ray pushed her in. Ray handed us our menus.

“Welcome to Sage! I’m Ray Toro, a friend of Gerard’s.”

“Hello.” Irina said tentatively.

“Hey Ray. Thanks again.”

“Anytime bro. I’ll call you with an estimated number. Enjoy.” Ray walked off and Irina looked at me questioningly.

“He’s having his staff party at the diner in exchange for dinner tonight.” I explained.

“Oh! Well, he was nice.”

“Yeah, we’ve been friends since high school.”

“Cool. I think I’ll have the chicken alfredo. What about you?”

“I’m thinking a steak with pasta.” Our waiter came and took our order. Irina looked around and then back at me.

“This is nice.”

“Yeah, it really is. So, um, Irina, what were your parents like?”

“Well, all I can really remember is them reading to me together before bed. We use to have random picnics in the spring. They never yelled at me. They were always smiling too. They went out one night, leaving me with a babysitter. They never came back. Later, when I was older, they explained that my parents were in a car crash and were killed instantly. All my grandparents were dead and neither parent had siblings. I was only five when it happened.”

“I’m so sorry,” I whispered as I grabbed her hand across the table, “ I didn’t mean to bring up bad memories.”

“Actually, it felt good to talk about them. I’ve never really thought of the good times with them.”

“Well good. Our food is here.” We ate and told stories of good times we’ve had. Irina sparkled as she smiled and laughed throughout the night. She was not the girl I had first run into a week ago. We finished and went home. After changing into sweats and a t-shirt, I went to Irina’s room. She was in her bathroom, so I climbed into her bed. Irina walked out in her tank top and underwear. She jumped when she saw me in her bed.

“Gerard! You scared me.”

“Sorry. Come cuddle with me.”

“I’m coming. Scoot over.” She climbed under the covers and cuddled close to me. She rolled over to face me. I kissed her and pulled her on top of me. She kissed me back and started to pull my shirt over my head. Irina threw it to the ground as she continued to kiss me. I kissed her back, worshipping her, but still hesitant that she was uncomfortable.

“Gerard, it’s okay. I trust you.” She whispered huskily. That was all I needed. With that, I rolled over until she lay beneath me and I hovered over her.

“You’re beautiful.” I said as her tank top hit the floor. She blushed all over. I loved her gently all through the night.

Hello My Lovely Readers,

Sorry about the late update. I've been contemplating on just how to do this. The smut is not detailed because I want this story to be yours as much as it is mine. So, I'll let your imaginations run wild. I'll try and put up another chapter up today. The next chapter is going to be short, but very interesting! Remember:
