You're Never Just A 'Nobody'
Chapter 8.
It's 5 o'clock by the time I reach my room. I guess you could say that I'm so fucking excited I could cry. The hall ways are empty as I race through the door, getting a quick look at Maggie asleep on the couch with a packet of chips and a bottle of coke. The usual. I make my way through to my room, looking around for some thing to wear. I spot a black and white polka dotted dress that blouses out past the waist. I quickly grab it out and head towards the shower.
----- *Shower finished* ------
I leap out of the shower and dry myself. I apply my makeup before getting dressed.
Just some light eye shadow, foundation and eyeliner, with dark red lipstick to match the black eyeshadow. Yep, I'm happy with that. I turn around to grab my dress and slip it on. Buttoning it up at the back. I finish in the bathroom and head out to grab my shoes. I whip my head towards the clock and it reads 5:45pm.
Shit.
Gerard will be here in 15 minutes. Okay. Calm down. Just do something easy in your hair and grab some black heels.
I decide to curl the ends of my hair up, so it just about reaches the tip of my shoulder blades. I put a little pearl necklace around my neck and quickly grab my heels, slipping into those.
As soon as I'm done with that, there's a knock at the door. I look to see the time and it's 6:00pm sharp. I walk over to the door, opening it to see Gerard. He's dressed in a black dress shirt with a black jacket over the top. He's also wearing black skinny jeans with converse. His hair is ruffled up, looking like he just got out of bed. In his hands he is holding bright red roses, almost the same color as my lipstick, he looks nervous, like a cow might fall from the sky and ruin the moment.
His head shoots up when he hears the creak of the door. His face is ecstatic, looking over at me. He looks at me, from head to toe, as if admiring his most precious thing in the world. His nervous looks are soon replaced by a massive smile. I look up to his face, it's just so perfect. The smile that's painted across it right now, I just want to capture it and keep it with me forever.
He clears his throat, obviously realizing how long we've been standing there, just staring at each other's appearances. He holds out his arm with the roses in them,
"I- uh, I bought these for you, obviously-" he curses a bit, under his breath, "- and uh, yeah." He coughs ending his words. I'm just going to take a wild guess and say he's nervous.
I take the roses in my left arm,
"Gerard, honestly you didn't have too-"
"No no no, I really did, I mean, they're beautiful, just like you"
I blush madly. Like, REALLY madly. I look up to see him smiling down at me, I smile back one of the biggest smiles ever.
"Thankyou, Gerard. We should head off now, yeah?" I say.
He takes my right hand in his left as we walk down the hallway, to the exit. The door opens, revealing the chilly winds of Autumn. I shiver in the process, not even remembering that it'll be this cold. I probably look like a noob, walking around the streets with not leggings/stockings on. Gerard must have noticed because he stops,
"You're not cold are you?" He asks, giving me a curious look.
"No, I'm fine-" He cuts me off, slipping off his jacket and carefully placing it over my shoulders.
"You're clearly not. Keep the jacket." Talking while adjusting the jacket around my shoulders. I thank him, feeling much better. We continue walking down the busy New York streets. We pass by many interesting stores and people. About 10 minutes later we reach our destination.
"Bookings for Gerard Way, please." He smiled at the man in front of us. He takes us to a two seated table with roses petals and candles in the middle. I look around to see no other tables have this. I feel really fucking special right now.
Gerard, being the man, pulls out my chair for me, gesturing me to sit down. I sit, as he pushes my chair in for me.
He' acting as if we're a couple.
Maybe he's just, being friendly...
Because that's probably all we'll ever be. Friends.
Out waiter known as 'Samuel' domes over to our table and asks for our order. Gerard and I order the same Greek Salad, and a bottle of red wine to share. We sit and await for out food to arrive.
"This is really great Gerard. You really didn't have to do this." I say, looking him in the eyes, meaning everything I just said.
"In know that. I just wanted too, you're an amazing girl, you deserve the best." He replies, looking me in the eyes.
The mood is ruined when I can't help to think if he's done something like this with Serenity. The slimy mother fucker, she's a sneaky little bitch. I zone out for what seems like forever when I'm brought back to reality, seeing my food in front of me.
Gerard pours me a glass of wine, we eat and make small talk. The question still lingers my mind, I can't help but to ask.
"So uh, Serenity huh?" He chokes on his wine for about 2 seconds. Collecting himself together, and looking up at me.
"What do you mean?" He says. Studying my face.
"You know, are you guys like a thing..?" I regret asking him as soon as he puts down his glass. His knuckles going white at the words I just said.
"No. No we aren't. We were, but now we aren't. See, When I first came here, 3 years ago, I was still super depressed. I'd get drunk every night and wake up in someone else's bed. Serenity, she was just always there, ya know. Every time I would drink, she'd suddenly appear, and things, would just happen." He replies, calmly.
He looks over at me, seeing the expression on my face. I feel utterly embarrassed for asking such a stupid question. I nod, not being able to say anything as if it was stupid.
We continue on with our meal while making some small talk. It's soon 7:30pm and Gerard said he has another surprise for me. I sigh, not because I don't want to go, I sign because everything he's doing makes me want him, more and more, and I know, no matter how many times I tell myself, I know that it will never happen.
------------------- 8:00pm *Secret destination* ---------------------
We stop in front of an Amusement Park. Why he has taken me here, I don't fucking know.
"I thought we could do something a little whack to finish off the night?" He asks me.
"Holy fuck yes! Lets Go!!!!!" I yell. Grabbing his hand and dragging him behind me. He giggles at this but follows along.
We go on bumper cars, eat shit loads of junk food, went on a roller coaster, Gerard even went on the slingshot with me (which took a lot of begging and pleading). The last thing Gerard wanted to do was go in the massive ferries wheel. It had colors light it up, and carriages that were purely white with little blue lights inside of them.
After waiting ages in line for the ride, we finally got on it. We had our own carriage, it had glass windows around it, what a mother fucking shame if I were to throw up.
The ferries wheel started. Giving each carriage view of the whole surroundings. When we arrived at the top, I was just about to shit bricks. Gerard had held of my hand. I looked around the whole park, getting closer looks at other rides.
I turn around to see Gerard staring at me,
"Come on Gerard, you're missing the view!" I tell him.
"I much prefer this one." He says, leaning in and closing the space between us.
Im the slightest bit taken back, but kiss him back. Passionately. He moves his lips agains mine. He smells like cigarettes and cologne. Moving his hands up my arms, back down the my waist he holds me, firmly. Pushing us closer, I wrap my fingers in his black hair, gripping it. He moans against my lips as I do so, I smile into the kiss. He breaks the kiss first. Looking back over at me. Im surprised when I see him smirk at me, I give him a smile before reconnecting our lips again.
----------- Back at NYU -------------
Im still wearing Gerard's jacket as he walks me back to my room. I found our recently that his is just 2 floors down from mine. Our hands are intertwined with each other's, slightly swinging them back and forth.
We arrive at my room, he stops me before I turn to open my door, pins my body up against it. He leans in, connecting our lips again, this time, more passionate then the last time, like he never wants to leave me.
Maybe he doesn't.
We part, my fingers woven through his hair, while he's holding onto my waist.
"Tonight was probably my favorite night out of every night iv ever experienced." He says, with the biggest grin on his face, looking down at me, playing with a thread of my hair.
"I agree." I say, he lets go of my hair and kisses my cheek.
"We should do it again sometime," He replies backing away from me, "But now, I must call it a night, ma'lady." Kissing my hand before waking down the hallway, screaming a 'good night', not caring who he wakes up.
I stumble through the door, still having the feeling of his lips on mine. His hands on my waist. He's just, so perfect. In every way.
And for that reason, is why I can't get enough of him.
