Too blind to see it was you all along

Chapter 6

***Natalie’s POV***

This felt so good. I shouldn’t be enjoying this so much.
Just as the thought came to mind I felt all the tingling disappear from my lips.
Gerard had pulled away.
Wait, why did he pull away?
I opened my eyes only to be staring straight back into Gerard’s.
He sighed and licked his lips.
“I’m sorry Natalie.. please don’t slap me.” He said with a worried expression crossing his face.
I didn’t know what to say. Should I tell him that it’s ok? That secretly I enjoyed it? Should I lie? Tell him I hated it and he should never try something like that again?
He sat there waiting for my reply.
I was silent, not a word or sound made.
“I… um… “ I stuttered.
“It’s getting late and I’m tired.” I said in a hurry, realizing I was still on Gerard’s lap. I sat up straight and as fast as possible, tried climbing off his lap.
Shit… I thought as he quickly put his arm back around my waist and pulled me against him.
I came face to face with him and my breath caught.
“Why do you always ignore the subject?” He asked.
I averted my eyes.
“I don’t.” I replied.
“You do…”
“No I don’t.”
“Yes-you-do.”
I turned my eyes back towards his face, feeling annoyed.
“Stop it.” I said frustrated.
“Just admit you enjoy kissing me.”
“No, because I’d be telling a lie.” I said stubbornly.
He smirked. Damn that freakin’ smirk.
“You always seem to react so well.” He said in an over confident tone.
“I do no such thing!” I exclaimed.
“Oh really?... Even when I do this….” He bent forward and nibbled my ear lobe.
I shivered and instantly felt him smirk against my skin. Oh damn him!
He slowly moved his lips down my neck and back up to my chin.
I could feel his warm breath against my mouth. He was still, waiting to claim my lips.
I can’t fall for this again. I have to get away before it’s too late.
My eyes quickly snapped open and I jumped off his lap before he could make his final move.
He looked up at me in shock.
I turned on my heel and made my way to my room as fast as my feet would carry me. I shut my door and locked it the minute I entered.
How does he affect me so much? It’s not supposed to be like this.

***Gerard’s POV***

She just ran out.
No goodbye. No good night. No nothing.
How the hell am I supposed to get to sleep feeling like this?
I’m so restless now.
I got up off the toilet seat and walked towards my room, slowly passing Natalie’s room on the way.
I stopped at her door and gently listened.
Is that....?
I knew it!
She’s listening to Demolition Lovers!
Hah.. I knew she secretly loved us.
I stopped my thoughts when I heard a gentle voice.
“This time, I mean it. Unless you know just how much you mean to me….”
She’s singing to our songs!
I straightened up and carried on to my room with a rather large smile on my face. Climbing into bed, I couldn’t help falling asleep to her voice in my head
