Chasing the Sun

When Lilly woke up the sun was streaming into her bedroom, which was unusual as her bedroom never got the sunlight. It took her a minute to realise she wasn’t in her own room, and when it hit she suddenly remembered where she was and who she was with. She turned her head and saw a still sleeping Gerard to her left. He looked so peaceful when he was asleep, the cocky look he normally had on his face was gone, showing just how young he was. Lilly’s heart did a funny little flip when she looked at him, enjoying the opportunity to just look at him without interruption or self consciousness.

She sighed softly as she rubbed a hand over her face. She couldn’t deny that she had enjoyed her night with Gerard, but with a pounding and sober head she realised that she had acted impulsively and that her actions would have consequences. She didn’t know if they had been careful it not, and she hoped that even in her drunken state she had been wise enough to not have unprotected sex.

‘So, how much are you freaking out right now?’

His voice was hoarse from sleep and his eyes were still closed, but his cocky smile was there on his face as always.

‘Out of ten, I’d say about an eight.’ She replied softly, wincing at the sound of her own voice as her head continued to pound unmercifully.

Gerard gave a low chuckle as he opened his eyes and turned to look at her, rolling onto his side.

‘Only an eight? I’m surprised; I was expecting a full blown ten.’

‘So was I.’ she admitted, wishing the pain in her head would go away and die a slow painful death.

He pulled Lilly into his arms, his body warm and comforting. She could smell the aftershave he had used the night before as she cuddled him. She inhaled his scent deeply, the smell making her stomach clench as she felt herself getting turned on again in spite of her pounding headache.

They stayed like that for what seemed like hours as the sick feeling in Lilly’s stomach died down to a mild sluggish feeling. It was one of the first times she had gotten to enjoy just being with another person without the need for words to fill the silence that so often becomes awkward even between the best of friends. For once she wasn’t thinking and it felt good.
The silence was inevitably broken, as it always is.

‘Do you want to go get breakfast somewhere?’

Lilly thought for a moment, wondering if her stomach could handle food at that moment.

‘Sure’ she replied, deciding that food might help her feel better.

Neither of them made a move to leave the bed which was extremely comfortable.

'In order to get breakfast we need to get up.’ Gerard said sounding amused.

‘I know, but I’m just so comfy’ Lilly said with a sigh, her eyes still closed as she wrapped her arms tighter around Gerard.

He squeezed her tighter in return and kissed the top of her head.She lifted her face to connect their lips, suddenly feeling confident. He responded by applying more pressure to her lips, before rolling her onto her back and kissing her with more passion. She moaned as she melted into the kiss, surprised she actually had the energy to do anything more than fall asleep again.

She felt his hand ghost over her cheek before he moved it down to her breast, giving it a light squeeze as he rubbed his thumb over her nipple, making her arch her back with a sudden jolt as though she had gotten an electric shock as she gasped in surprise. She responded by running her hands through his hair, grabbing onto his raven locks as he continued to massage her breast, before his hand trailed down between her legs. He pulled his lips away from her own and attached them to her neck, lightly nipping the skin.

‘Wait a second’ she gasped out, pulling his hair to get him to look back up at her.

He groaned in frustration, as his eyes locked on her own with slight impatience.

‘What’s wrong?’ He sounded breathless.

‘Last night, were we… did we use any…protection?’ She asked, blushing with embarrassment wishing she didn’t have to ask.

He nodded. ‘Yeah’ he said quickly as he reattached his lips to her neck.

She slid her hands down his torso and grabbed a hold of erection, letting her thoughts slip away as her body began to heat up from his ministrations on her clitoris.

She could definitely get use to waking up this way.

[i]‘Of course you could, nymph.’[/i]

Lilly couldn’t help but let out a small laugh at the snarling tone of her Inner Voice.
Gerard looked at her, a puzzled expression on his face. She laughed even harder, and realized she couldn’t stop.

‘What’s so funny’ Gerard asked, sounding worried and frustration.

‘Nothing’ she stuttered out as she continued to laugh.

He pulled away from her, looking almost angry as he sighed.

‘I’m sorry’ she said consolingly as she started to calm down.

‘What was that about?’ he asked, looking like his ego had taken a bit of a blow.

‘Something random just popped into my head is all’ she said.

‘Nice to know I had your full attention’ he grumbled.

‘I’m sorry’ she repeated, as she pulled him back down on top of her, quickly reattaching her hand to his dick again. They got back into the rhythm again quickly, with no more interruptions.
*********************************************************
An hour later, they were lying beside each other, sweating as they breathed heavily to catch their breath again.

‘I think I could eat now’ Lilly said, before she even realized she had voiced her thought.

‘I don’t think there’s any food here-‘ he started speaking when suddenly there was a loud bang from a door being slammed.
Lilly jumped out of her skin as she pulled the covers closer to her.

‘Shit’ Gerard muttered.

Lilly then suddenly realized her clothes were discarded on the open plan living room, and felt embarrassment rush through her as she could hear heavy footsteps walking around the living room.
‘
Gerard, my man’ she heard a loud male voice call out with amusement in his voice. ‘Two days and you’ve already scored! Nice’ he ended with a giggle.

He was obviously still drunk.

Gerard quickly jumped out of his bed and out his boxers on.
‘It’s just my roommate. Hang on ’til I get rid of him, okay?’ he said in a low rushed voice as he pulled a random band t-shirt out of a press and put it on quickly.

He walked out the room, pulling the door behind him.

'Dude, what did I tell you man? I told you the girls would go for the accent.’ The other male giggled while slurring his words.

She heard another bang that sounded like he had bumped into a chair.

Gerard laughed.

‘Let’s get you into bed’ he said, and Lilly could picture him helping the other guy up.

Lilly zoned out, and started looking around his room. He had personalized his space quickly, and she could see a few movie posters up on his wall and scattered notebooks on his dresser along with some photographs. Without thinking, she stood up and walked to his dresser to look at his pictures.

One of the frames was a collage of photos. One was of him with who she assumed were his parents. A few of them contain a mousy blond haired boy with rimmed glasses. She could see they had the same eyes, and she guessed this was his brother. There were several group photos with his friends, however. She very quickly realized that in most of these pictures Gerard had his arms wrapped around a girl. She was beautiful, with long black hair, pale skin and big brown eyes. She couldn’t help the knot of jealously in her stomach as she took in the girl’s perfect features and pretty smile along with the happy smile on Gerard’s face.

Did he have a girlfriend back in New Jersey that he conveniently forgot to tell her about?

[i]‘What else did you expect when you screw the first guy who shows you attention?’ [/i]Her Inner Voice taunted self righteously.

She bit her lip, knowing her Inner Voice was right. She knew he was too good to be true All she wanted to do was leave, his bedroom suddenly feeling very small and claustrophobic. She regretted staying for so long as now she had to wait until Gerard came back with her clothes before she could leave, and right now he was the last person she wanted to see.
