Can You Hear Me Cry Out To You?

Dee's P.O.V Time Lapse>>>>>>>>>> One week later. 'Chemical Romance' restaurant. 8:30pm. Of all the restaurants Gerard could have taken me, he chose my newest one. Unfortunately what he doesn't know is that both Arnie and Pete Draven worked here. Arnie was a waiter and Pete helped out in the kitchen. Pete had spent three year's in the institution. They released him with a clean bill of health. "I thought you'd like it here." Gerard said as he led me inside. "It has the kind of name you'd choose." I smiled as Arnie walked over. I sneaked a look at Gerard's face. He looked surprised to see him. "Hey, Boss." Arnie said to me. "Date or business?" "Date." "You own this place don't you?" Gerard asked with a grin. I laughed. "I actually thought you'd have guessed from the name." I said as Arnie led us to a table by the far corner, near the balcony.

"The name is why I chose it." He said sitting down. "I didn't think you'd bought any other places."

I grin as we give Arnie our orders. "I actually own another two hotel's aswell." I informed him.

His jaw dropped open. "Where? What did you call them?"

"New Jersey one's called 'Angel Hotel' and the one in California is called 'Helena Hotel'. It was named after Helena as well as the song." I still miss her. I miss the Stones, my dad and Ed still.

Gerard reached across the table to rest his hand on mine. "You really miss them still, don't you?"

I sigh. "I know it's been eleven year's now. But yeah...yeah I do."

The rest of the date goes well. We talk about what we've both been up to since we split. He told me that he'd been touring a lot. I told him I'd been working on the show. He said he'd been rehearsing in his spare time. I told him I was doing charity work. Like singing and modelling.

After that, he drove me home. He parked up outside of my apartment.

"Thank you for tonight, Dee." He said as we stopped by my door. "It was fun." I stated.

"Just like old times." Suddenly he seemed closer.

"It was." I agreed. He was so close now. He leaned closer, his hands in his pockets. He stopped inches from my mouth.

"Can I...kiss...you?" He asked, staring at my lips.

"Yes." I barely got the word out when he closed the gap and sealed his lips to mine. The kiss was brief. But left me wanting more.

"Can I come up for coffee?" He asked as he pulled away slightly.

"I don't think that's a good idea." I said, stepping back. "It's too soon."

He sighed but backed up. "That's okay." He smiled. "Next time?"

"How about we have lunch here next week?" I offered. "I could ask Mikey to look after the kids so we can talk. We can work out where we go from here."

His smile widened. "That would be great."

I turned to unlock the door. Then stopped in the doorway and turned back. I walked back over to him and pulled him in for a kiss. I pulled away after several minutes.

"Good night, Gerard." I said then turned and walked away.
