"You ready for school?"I smiled down at Claires eager nodding face.
"Alright well I cant come in with you today. I need to get to work so you need to be a big girl for me. Can you do that?"I said as I helped her put her bag on.
"Damn right I can Frankie. I'm a big girl. I dont even need you to hold my hand."She grinned.
"Thats my girl."I grinned. We walked out to my car and got inside.

Lily was at a friends house. Gerard would already be at course so I couldnt even have breakfast with him and Mum was at work. I started work in half an hour so I really needed to hurry. Claire rambled on about her paintings as I drove. I was still a little freakish about driving without Gerard in the car but I was getting used to it.
"Okay Claire. Off you go. I'll be here after school okay? Gimme a kiss quick."I stuck my cheek out as Claire scrambled to go meet her friends waiting at the gate.
"Love you Frankie!"She called before slamming the door shut.

I watched her go, hugging the short blonde girl called Milly before realising I was gonna be late for work. I drove away and fought the urge to smash into the car ahead of me. The dick had just passed me when he shouldnt have. In another ten minutes I was walking past the front windows of work. Someone had written an 'f' over the 'b' so it read Starfucks instead. They'd even drawn someone getting fucked by a star. How original.

"Hey Frank. You've got a request."Mel smiled and pointed to the booth at the very back.
"Seriously? I havent even started yet. Jesus people gimme a break."I grumbled.
"Try and be nice to this customer."Mel grinned at me. I gave her a weird look and dumped my shit out back then pulled my apron on. I grabbed my notebook and went to see who had requested me.

"Gerard! Ahh!"I squealed and jumped into his lap, kissing him all over.
"Course was cancelled cause of a flood in one of the departments. So I've got the day free and I got you the day off as well."He grinned.
"You are perfect. I fucking love you."I grinned and kissed him again.
"So, how should we spend the day?"
"Lets go home shall we?"I raised an eyebrow at me.
"Good idea."Gerard grinned back at me.

We went and got into my car, giving each other knowing looks. Mum didnt like it when we had sex at hers but hey, she was out at work all day so she wouldnt know. Besides, Gerard's apartment was too far away. Driving through the streets of San Diego was a nightmare. The traffic was probably the most of my worries. We'd only been here for a year and Gerard had managed to keep his promise. Everything was good. Everything was better. All I had to do was Try.

The End.
