You Only Hear The Music When Your Heart Begins To Break

Over the next few days we decide to stay in the city and keep looking for a place to live. Three days before I'm due to start work we find a decent looking two bedroom apartment that we can afford and we are told we can move in the next day. We travel home that afternoon and Trick and William are waiting for me with a gift. When I open the envelope they give me I find a letter and a bank card that has my name on it. I look at Trick confused and he tells me to read the letter. It is a letter from my mother. As I read it I find out that when Trick and I were born our father started a trust fund for both of us. After he died she continued to put money in them to be turned over to us when we were ready to move out and start our own lives to give us the best chance to become whatever we wanted to be. I look up at Trick in disbelief and he confirms that it's true and she gave him his when she got sick because she knew he would be caring for me and that when the time came he was to give me mine. I start to tear up overwhelmed that she did this for us when Trick hands me another piece of paper. When I open this one I see it is a bank statement and that the account I have just been given access to contains $300,000. My breath catches in my throat and I open and close my mouth a few times, no sound coming out. Trick pulls me close and tells me that he wishes me the best of luck and that I can come home whenever I need to, that there will always be a room for me and he is so proud of me. I tear up again and hug him tight before pulling away and telling him and William all about the place we found and how it had two bedrooms so they will have a place to stay when they visit. They smile as they listen before telling me they have some news. I smile and tell them to continue when Trick says "We're moving in together" and I congratulate them before stepping forward to hug them.
While I'm in my room packing William knocks on the door and comes in sitting on my bed. "Hey what's up" I ask him and he fidgets looking nervous before I walk over and sit beside him resting my hand on his leg in a comforting gesture. "What's wrong?" I ask and he shakes his head before saying "Nothing is wrong, I just need to ask you something and it's really important." "Ok whatever you need I'm here" I tell him and he nods before taking a deep breath and saying "I love Trick a lot and I want to ask him to marry me, but I need to know you're ok with it. You mean everything to Trick and I know he means everything to you and I would never do anything to ruin that so I wanted to know that it's ok with you and I don't even know if he'll say yes but I want to take the risk and..."
"William breathe. It's ok and yes, of course it's a yes I love both you guys and I'd be so happy for you both. Just do me a favour and don't ramble like that when you ask him because it might get confusing for him" I tell him before he pushes me playfully and we start to laugh. "I know he'll say yes William so just be calm and know that I'm one hundred percent supportive of this." He pulls me into a big hug and thanks me before leaving the room and I smile widely and mentally wish William luck.

The next day Gerard and I leave again for the city and Trick and William take care of shipping anything we want from home to us. I show Gerard the letter and statement Trick gave me and he is in just as much shock as I was. "Baby this is incredible" he tells me and once we pay our first months rent and pick up our keys we go shopping for furniture. We buy all the necessities like a new bed, couch, fridge, washer and dryer and a table and chairs and organise for them to be delivered that afternoon. Then we go back to the apartment and give it a quick clean before the furniture arrives. Once they're in we start to organise where we want everything before settling it all and go out to buy groceries. We eat takeout pizza after we get back and lay around waiting for Trick and William to arrive with all our stuff.
After Trick and William leave we spend all night unpacking and the next day we sleep until midday. After we eat we go out again, this time to buy my uniform for work.

My first day of work is nerve wracking. When I wake up I take a hot shower to try and calm down but it does nothing to ease the nerves and Gerard offers to help me out but I decline, not in the mood. He walks me to work as we only live a short walk away and tells me he'll come back to walk me home later when I finish and we kiss goodbye before I turn and go inside. The owner comes to the front door to greet me and I feel a little better remembering how nice he was in the interview. He introduces me to the wait staff who are currently in the dining room preping their areas for the day. After we walk into the kitchen and I meet the head chef who is very nice and welcoming and the owner leaves as the head chef tells me about what I'll be doing and introducing me to the rest of the kitchen staff. All of them are guys and I feel a little anxious about that but try to shrug it off and focus on remembering names. Most of my morning is spent learning where everything is in the kitchen and helping with the prep. When Matt, the head chef, comes around to check on my station he is surprised to find how quick I'm working through my share of the prep and compliments me on it. I smile and thank him and he tells me what station he is putting me on at first and who I'll be working it with. He puts me on cooking fish with a nice looking guy named Adam and he explains everything to me as we go along and I mostly just watch but I learn a lot. Once the lunch shift is over and the restaurant is closed again I help clean the kitchen and put away any food left out. Matt comes by and tells me I far exceeded his expectations and that he is looking forward to working with me. I smile widely as I make my way out into the dining room looking for Shaun, the owner. One of the wait staff tell me he stepped out for a moment and will be back very soon so I wait around and the waiter starts a conversation with me. "Hey my name is Zack" he tells me and I tell him my name. "I like it, it's pretty so it suits you" he comments and I blush and say thank you. After a few minutes of small talk while he does his cleaning he turns to me and says "Hey would you like to get dinner with me some time?" So I stare for a second before saying "Sorry Zack but I have a boyfriend" and he blushes and starts to apologise when one of the kitchen staff walks past laughing and says "Way to strike out loser" which makes Zack even more embarrassed and pisses me off. "Don't be such an asshole" I snap and then I see Shaun standing on the other side of the room looking over at us and I immediately curse myself for opening my mouth as he walks over, expecting to get fired my first day.
"You are going to fit in perfectly here" Shaun tells me and has a small chuckle before continuing to tell me "Working in an all male workplace you need to be able to hold your own. Don't let them walk all over you Z. I just spoke to Matt and he was very impressed and I know I made the right decision choosing you. Your schedule is in the break room so take a look at it and then you can go for the day." With that he turns and walks across the dining room to his office. I check out the schedule in the break room and see that I will be working five days a week, two lunch and dinner shifts and the other three are just dinner. Once I leave the restaurant Gerard is waiting around outside and when he sees me he walks towards me with his arms open. I walk into them and enjoy the hug before linking fingers with him as we walk the short distance home, telling him all about my day.

Over the next week we have sex in every place in the house possible. I am currently laying in bed on my day off when Gerard comes into the room carrying a box. He sits it down next to me and tells me to open it. When I lift the lid the sight makes my eyes widen. The box is filled with ropes, handcuffs, a gag, a paddle, a flogger, a few dildos and a vibrator. I start to get wet just looking at it and Gerard smiles before staring to remove the items from the box and when he grabs the flogger he snaps it against his hand and I shiver in anticipation at the sound it makes. Gerard puts the items to the side and kisses me gently before asking if I'm ready to play. I nod and he takes a few deep breaths, getting in the mind space to do this before telling me to remove all my clothes. I stand up and obey and when I'm naked he orders me to get on my knees. I lower myself to the floor and kneel in front of him as he unzips his jeans and pushes them down enough to get his half hard dick out. He holds it in front of my face but stops and strokes himself a few times before asking me for the safeword. "Helvetica" I tell him and he gently strokes my cheek before bringing his dick to my lips and presses against them, waiting for me to open my mouth. Once I start bobbing up and down sucking and working him with my tongue he tangles his fingers in my hair and starts to control the pace by thrusting in and out of my mouth. I can feel he's getting close by the throbbing his dick is doing against my tongue and he pulls out, using his grip on my hair to push me away causing me to fall sideways onto the floor. "Get up" he barks at me and I quickly stand up with my hands behind my back and my head down like I know he will want. "Get on the bed, on your hands and knees" he orders and I follow his instruction waiting for what's coming next. I hear him open a bottle of lube right before I feel something cold and wet slide inside me. I shift on my knees a little uncomfortable and I feel a sharp sting across my ass right after I hear the sharp smack of the hit I've just received from the flogger. "Did I say you could move?" He spits before striking me again. I hear the flogger hit the bed right before I feel something press against my clit. Everything is silent for a second before a buzzing fills the air and the vibrator is shaking against my clit. I try to stifle my moans as the pleasure I feel becomes overwhelming when Gerard starts thrusting the dildo in and out of me as he holds the vibrator against my clit with his other hand. I start to shift my hips thrusting back against the dildo as it slides back in and a small whine escapes me. All moment stops and the dildo is removed from me and the vibrator is turned off. "No cumming yet" Gerard tells me before flipping me over and reaching for the handcuffs. He attaches one side around my left wrist before looping the other side around the bar of the headboard and clipping it securely around my right wrist. Once I'm cuffed to the bed and unable to move my arms he grabs two lengths
of rope and secures my feet to the posts on the end of the bed. I am completely immobilised and I couldn't be more turned on. Gerard gently trails his fingers all over my body, tickling me slightly. I shiver from the sensation and he continues for a moment before kneeling between my legs and attaching his mouth to my inner thigh, sucking a large hickey in between two of my scars. Once he's satisfied with the mark he moves up and starts lapping at my clit causing me to whine and squirm in pleasure. Gerard continues to eat me out until I am so close to cumming I'm starting to tingle already when he pulls away leaving me squirming in frustration at the loss of stimulation. Once my orgasm fades he dives in and sucks and nibbles at my clit again bringing me right back to the edge before pulling away again causing me to cry out in frustration which earns me five strikes with the flogger across my upper thighs. One of them lands across one of my scars and I know it is an accident but the pain is excruciating and I scream "Helvetica" as tears pour down my face. Gerard immediately throws the flogger on the floor and grabs the key to the handcuffs releasing my arms and cupping my face in his hands. "Baby are you ok, what happened?" I push him off and sit up clutching my thigh as the stinging sensation fades a little but is still quite strong. When Gerard looks down he sees the blood pouring from where the scar has reopened a little and he gasps in shock before running to the bathroom for a towel and the first aid kit. When he returns he apologises a million times and tends to my leg, cleaning the blood away before applying cream and gauze and wrapping my leg in a bandage to help stop the bleeding. He cups my face again and forces me to look into his eyes as he apologises again, tears forming in his eyes. "Baby I never meant to actually hurt you, you know that right?" He asks and I nod my head before reaching down to untie my legs. Gerard helps and soon we are laying on the bed, me pressed to Gerard's chest as he strokes my hair and back and whispers soothing things to me, holding me until the shaking stops and I feel better.
