Falling
Chapter 7
I had just finished telling Anne about Gerard. She was looking at me like i was making it up.
"So he's your boyfriend?" She asked. I sighed heavily.
"No, he's just a friend."
"But you like him?"
"Well, yes."
"And he likes you?"
"Yeah, at least he said he does." I smiled a little at the thought. Anne smiled while looking a bit suprised.
"I just can't believe you would get that." She dragged her hands through her hair. This was the Anne i did NOT like.
"What the hell is that suppose to mean? That just because i'm not very pretty i can't get boys who look like him? Well you should know that it's not all about the looks. There is something called a personality! And a personality can be just as pretty!" I sounded angrier than i meant. I knew she was just kidding, at least i think she was. But she hit a soft spot, and i felt really offended.
"Oh calm your titties Charlie. You don't have to get so upset." She looked so calm. I felt helpless, defeated. So i threw a pillow at her face.
"You know what, shut up. You are just jealous." I glanced angrily at her.
"Alright alright you win! I'm sorry i offended you. I'm happy for you." She gave me a sweet smile.
"It's alright. Does your face hurt?" I asked and giggled a little. She just laughed.
"So does this Gerard dude have any hot friends?"
"Oh fuck you!" I said and elbowed her. We both laughed.
We spent the rest of the day catching up. A lot of things had happened back in Alabama, and a lot of things had happened in Belleville. So we sat up all night, talking about boys and music and everything else.
When Anne was finally asleep, i sneaked down the stairs to the kitchen and called Gerard. He sounded sleepy when he picked up.
"Hello?" He said, holding back a yawn.
"Oh great i was afraid your mom was going to pick up or something like that." I giggled.
"Who is this?"
"Gerard? It's me, Charlie." I said, speaking a little louder.
"Oh Charlie! I didn't recognize your voice. Why are you calling me now? It's like 2pm!" He whispered.
"Anne is sleeping and i wanted to make sure you were still alive." I giggled again.
"Freak." He laughed quietly.
"Wanna meet up?" I held my breath.
"Ah what the hell. Sure, let me just put on my shoes and i'll be on my way." He said and hung up. I pulled on a pair of shorts over my panties and then i left. With only shorts and a tank top. Clever me.
We met on the playground, the one where he had drawn me. I don't know how we both had the same thought of going here, but here we are.
He had a skeleton pyjamas on.
"Nice pyjamas." I said and pointed at him. He smiled and pulled me into a hug.
"Thanks. Aren't you cold? You barely have any clothes on." He let go of me. Now that he mentioned it, i actually was cold.
"Nah it's not that bad." I said, trying my best not shiver.
"Oh shut up you must be freezing. Get over here." He sat down on a swing and opened his pyjamas. He wasn't wearing a shirt underneath.
"What are you..?"
"Get in." I stared at him for a moment before placing my self on his lap, putting my legs around his back and my arms around his neck. He closed the zipper. His skin felt so warm.
"Mmm.. cozy." I stroked his hair out of his face. He put his arms around my back.
"Come here." He tried to kiss me but i pulled away. I was just going to mess with him a bit.
"Nope." He leaned towards me and tried again, but i pulled away.
"Let me kiss you!" He tried again, and failed.
"Catch me if you can!" I said and giggled.
"What do i get if i catch you?" He asked seductively. I leaned forward so that i whispered in his ear.
"One more kiss." I quickly pulled away again. This time he was fast and caught my face in his hands. He formed my mouth into a kissing mouth and pressed his lips against mine.
"Gotcha." He bit my lower lip, and i kissed him again, this time with toung. Our toungs tasted every corner of our mouths, and it felt so nice. I didn't want him to stop, but then he did.
"Why'd you stop?" I asked a bit disappointed.
"Did you feel that?" He asked.
"Feel what?"
"The tingle."
"Tingle?" What was he talking about?
"Yeah. That tingling feeling everytime we kiss. Did you feel it?" I grabbed his face and placed my forehead on his.
"I felt it. Just like i feel it every time i look at you. Every time i think of you. I feel it all the time." I kissed him softly.
"Will i ever be good enoug for you?" I asked, pulling myself closer to him.
"You are everything i ever wanted and more. The question is do i deserve you? You are so perfect, like porcelain and if i drop you, you'll break into pieces." I blushed. He was so sweet.
"Gerard...?"
"Yeah honey?" He called me honey!
"I... i think i like you. Like, alot." I looked down.
"I like you too. Alot. I think.. i know it hasn't been long but.. i think i'm in love with you." Time stopped. He is in love with me. Charlie, don't screw this up.
"I that feel too." Charlie, what the fuck is the matter with you!?
"I love that you get all weird when you're nervous." He laughed. I smiled at him, then leaned forward and kissed him smoothly.
"I never wanna let you go Gerard. I want to stay like this forever." I put my hand on his bare chest.
"You won't ever have to let me go, i promise. Cross my heart and hope to die, stick a needle in my eye." He kissed me again, and i rested my head on his shoulder. I never wanted to let him go.
"So he's your boyfriend?" She asked. I sighed heavily.
"No, he's just a friend."
"But you like him?"
"Well, yes."
"And he likes you?"
"Yeah, at least he said he does." I smiled a little at the thought. Anne smiled while looking a bit suprised.
