Oh, Baby Let Me In

I nearly fell out of bed trying to turn off my alarm clock. It's 8:00 A.M. and I have to be at first day of work in an hour.

I yawned and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes before staggering up out of my bed.

I was anxious to get to my job, but I was less than thrilled about having to get used to waking up early every week. Although, I was relieved that I had the same shift all week.

I have Saturdays and Sundays off since there's someone else who's only able to work on weekends.

That's fine by me.

I yawned again as I slowly made my way up to the kitchen to get the coffee maker going.

I stepped outside on to the porch and smoked a cigarette. Next, I took a shower.

I went to my closet and took get my work shirt which was a dark blue color. I got myself dressed and used the hair dryer to dry my hair.

I finally was ready and headed back upstairs to the kitchen. I grabbed myself a coffee cup at random and poured myself some deliciousness.

I sat down at the kitchen table and sipped my coffee. My stomach began to rumble so I figured I may as well eat a quick breakfast.

Once I was done eating a bagel and drinking my coffee, it was time to leave. I sat my empty cup in the sink and went out the door and took off to work.

****
I was a nervous wreck. I haven't had a job in so long I was afraid of screwing something up. My manager, Mark told me to relax and not to worry so much. He said it's understandable to be nervous but I should try to relax.

Lucky for me Mark was a cool guy and knows what the newbies are going through. He said he was in my position before.

"I wasn't always the manager here. I was fresh out of high school and needed a job. I worked my way up." Mark told me as he was refilling a cup of black coffee for a customer.

I nodded my head and smiled at the next customer. "Hi. What could I get for you?"
"Hmm. I would like a large mocha latte please."
"Sure thing. That will be $2.89."

I handed the customer her change and quickly made their latte, making sure I smiled as I did so.

****
It turns out that it wasn't just a coffee shop. We also serve sandwiches and some desserts.

I prefer Starbucks and I don't think I actually was here before coming in to inquire about a job. Mikey has been here several times though.

I finished my shift at 3:00 P.M and went home, but not without buying myself a vanilla chai latte first. I was beat from not being used to waking up as early as I did. A vanilla chai latte sounded delicious after 4 customers ordered one.

I checked the mail then threw in the trash can. I placed the mail, which was mostly for Mikey on the kitchen counter and went directly down to the Bat Cave to take a nap.

I woke up an hour and a half later and made myself a salad with ranch dressing. I was hungry. I didn't eat anything at work. I was too nervous to even think about food there.

In a short while later, Mikey was home from his job too. We greeted each other and Mikey opened up his mail.

"How was your first day?" My brother asked as he tossed his mail back on to the counter.

I shrugged. "It wasn't bad. My manager is nice."
"That's good."
"Yes it is."
"It makes things less intimidating with a manager who isn't a prick." Mikey laughed.

I giggled in agreement and dumped out the old coffee from this morning into the sink and put got a fresh pot going.

"I get to have smoke breaks too. I don't know how I'd be able to get through the day if I couldn't."
Mikey chuckled. "I know. You'd be going crazy by the time you'd get home."

Mikey's cell phone rang and he went out on the front porch to answer it.

Mikey came back inside and cleared his throat and spoke. "Frank's coming over. That okay?"
"Yep. That's completely fine."

A grin slowly found it's way onto my face. Mikey glared and me and laughed as he walked away.

****
I went outside and smoked a cigarette as I waited for Frank to arrive. I told Mikey I would wait for Frank since he was gonna take a shower.

It didn't take too long for Frank to get here. He walked up to me with a smile on his face and a blush in his cheeks.

He was so damn cute.

"Hiya, Gee."
"What's up?"

Frank smiled wider. "Where's Mikey at?"
"Shower."
"Ohhh. That's cool."
"Mmhmm."

I was too nervous to say more to Frank. I don't know what, but that man made me so nervous. I am too old to be feeling like a teenager around their crush.

I lit up another cigarette and Frank bummed one off of me.

"Can I have one?"
I nodded. "Sure."
"Thank you."
"No problem...I didn't know you smoked." I handed him my pink lighter.
He giggled. "I quit, but I started up again a couple days ago."
"Oh damn. I'm sorry."
He shook his head. "It's okay. It's a hard habit to kick."
"Amen to that." I replied and took a drag from my cigarette.

Frank lit his own and took a drag and sat down on one the top step of the porch.

"Mikey said you have a job now? That's awesome."
"Yep, I do. At Track Side Coffee Shop."
"Very nice."
"It's money." I responded with a smile.

Frank and I talked about his job and my job for a little until Mikey finally came outside asking us what we wanted to do.

We decided to go to the movies.

"Let's see The Amazing Spiderman!" Frank beamed.

Mikey groaned and I smiled.

"Okay! I don't really mind."

Mikey eventually agreed on The Amazing Spiderman since Frank practically begged him to.

Mikey drove us to the theater and Frank yelled Shotgun so I had to sit in the back seat. That little shit was quick.

It took us fifteen minutes to arrive.

We were a little early yet so I had a smoke while Mikey and Frank got us our tickets.

Mikey and I got Diet Cokes and a large popcorn to share. Frank got a Mountain Dew and Skittles. No surprise there at all.

(Frank's P.O.V.)

Gerard looked so good today. His hair was slightly messy and he had no eyeliner on. He looks amazing with eyeliner, but it was even more amazing to see him in his natural beauty.

I sat in the middle of Mikey and Gerard. Mikey thought it was pretty stupid to do since he and Gerard were sharing popcorn so they had to pass it to me so I could give it to them.

I just wanted to be near Gerard. I wasn't thinking very logically.

Mikey eventually got annoyed with it and switched seats with me. I was pouting on the inside because I was no longer seated next to Gerard.

When Mikey got up to use the bathroom I quickly moved next to Gerard and grinned at him.

Gerard looked at me and raised his eyebrows. "What are you doing?" He giggled.

I swear, that man's giggle is the cutest thing I've ever heard.

I didn't answer him. Instead I scooted closer to him and whispered in his ear. "You look beautiful."

It was dark in the theater but I'm positive I saw him blush.

Gerard Way is too fucking adorable for his own good.

Gerard was about to say something until Mikey came back and told me to get out of his seat. I whined and slid out of my chair so Mikey can sit back down next to Gerard.

Mikey took the popcorn from Gerard and took a handful and munched on it. He then asked us what he missed.

I told him I wasn't really paying attention and he slapped the back of my head.

After the movie was over, Mikey drove us back to the Ways' house.

I was successful calling Shot Gun once again. Gerard looked at me with wide eyes and shook his head with a laugh.

"You're such a child." Mikey said to me.
"Psh. I am not."
"You have way too much energy for someone your age."
"My age? I am only 22 years old..and you are one year younger than me. "
"True."

I poked my tongue out at the younger Way brother. We spent the rest of the ride in silence.

Mikey, Gerard, and I got to the Ways' house and we unbuckled our seat belts and hopped out of the car.

Gerard unlocked the front door and lead us inside.

I excused myself and used the bathroom. When I came back Gerard was sitting on the couch and I wasn't sure where Mikey disappeared to.

I quietly sat down on the couch next to Gerard. Mikey was back.

"I used Gerard's bathroom since you were in the one up here." Mikey explained.
"Ah, okay." I said to hm.

****

"I'm hungry. I'm gonna make pancakes. You guys want any?" Gerard asked Mikey and myself.
"Yeah, that sounds good." Mikey replied.
"Mmmmmm pancakes..."

Gerard giggled and stood up from the couch and waltzed into the kitchen.

Soon enough, the three of us were sitting at the kitchen table eating Gerard's pancakes.
They were soo good. Gerard truly knows how to make great pancakes.

"These are the best pancakes I've ever had." I told Gerard.

Gerard blushed and let out a chuckle. "Thanks. I'm glad you like them,"
Mikey made a disgusted face. "These taste like ass." He took another bite from his pancakes.

Gerard laughed loudly and immediately covered his mouth with his left hand.

I busted out laughing at Gerard in response. Gerard buried his face in his hands in embarrassment.

I smirked. "Aw, you're so cute."

Gerard's eyes bulged and his face turned red. I laughed again and nibbled my lip ring.

We played Mario Kart for two hours. I kept trying to bump Gerard's character off the road. Gerard would yell at me every time and I would continue to laugh.

I reluctantly had to go home.

I decided that the next time I come over, I'm gonna ask Gerard to hang out with me by himself.
