In Love With a Stripper

(Jynx’s POV)

I woke up the next morning in Gerard’s arms. He lay next to me watching me sleep and I smiled up at him.

“Good morning,” I said. I had decided last night that I just wasn’t going to think about what could have happened when I went back for my cell phone. We both knew that since the box had been moved someone had been in my apartment, we just weren’t sure who.

“Morning,” he kissed my forehead. “So what are we doing today?”

“I figured I would start looking for an apartment with Robbi later, but you got me all morning.”

“Why don’t you hold off on the new apartment? Just until we get this thing with Jared sorted out.”

“Gerard, I can’t keep staying here. I mean we barely know each other…”

“So even if I asked you to stay and said that if Robbi needed to she could stay too, you wouldn’t?”

“I…” I was cut off by my phone ringing. I reached over to the bedside table and looked at the number. “Gerard, I need you to be deathly quiet okay,” I said slowly. He looked at me weird then nodded. I flipped open my phone. “Hi mama,” I said.

“How is my baby girl?” she said. Her voice strong as ever.

“I’m good mama,”

“How’s Robbi is she staying out of trouble?” I smiled.

“Of course I’m here to keep her out of trouble.”

“How’s working at the Met.?” I had told her I was working at the Metropolitan Museum as a tour guide.

“It’s really good.” I said feeling like crap having to lie to her. “They are working on a new Mummy exhibit so that’s going to be cool.” I heard Gerard start to giggle and shot him a death glare.

“Jynx baby who was that?”

“Oh that…uh was Robbi, she’s coming down with a cold.”

“Oh do you need me to come and help…”

“Mom no, do not come here.” I said with a little too much force in my voice. “I can handle this I promise. Its just a little cold.”

“Have you met any nice young men?” I knew this was coming. If I said yes she would lecture me about safe sex and this phone call would go on for hours. If I say no she will still lecture me about how I’m not getting out enough.

“No mama I haven’t met anyone yet,” I said. I heard Gerard grunt loudly. Then I felt his breath on my ear.

“Tell her about me,” he whispered in a heavy voice that sent shivers through my body.

“Baby girl Robbi sounds really bad.” She said.

“Mom she’s going to be fine,” I said as Gerard’s hand started up my inner thigh, he also started kissing my neck.

“Tell her about me,” Gerard whispered again.

“Jynx did I just hear a man? If there is a man in your house that early in the morning there’s only one thing you two could have been doing.”

“Mama…” I tried to say, but my voice faltered as Gerard’s hand went even higher and he started biting and sucking on my neck.

“How many times do I have to tell you. No man is going to buy the cow if he can get the milk for free.”

“Mama,” I said even I could hear the lust in my voice. “I’m not giving nobody milk,” I heard Gerard laugh some more against my neck. “I gotta go…I’m…running…late…for work.” It was getting harder to talk the higher his hand went and now he was kissing on my collar bone driving me insane.

“Jynx why do you sound like that? Are you coming down with a cold too? I’m coming up…” I jumped out of the bed and away from Gerard. The cold air in the room quickly helping me regain control of myself. I took a deep breath.

“Mommy I’m not getting sick and you don’t need to come and I kinda did meet a guy, but I’m not quite sure how serious, it is. His name is…”

“Thank the lord you found a man. I was starting to get worried. I want grandbabies.” She yelled in my ear.

“Mom, did you want to know his name?” she stopped talking as if to give me the floor. “His name is Gerard and he’s very nice.” I looked at him and he smiled up at me from the bed. “Now I got to go…”

“Jynx baby I called because I’m coming up in a week or so. I just wanna check on you and Robbi.”

“Mom you don’t have to do that we are both fine…”

“I’m not going to back down, I’m coming for a week and there’s nothing you can do about it. Pick me up from the airport on Monday at 3 pm ok.” This wasn’t good. How was I going to keep up the lie of working at the freaking Met. if she’s here.

“Okay mom I’ll see you on Monday.” I bit my lip. Gerard looked at me trying to figure out what was wrong.

“Okay baby, I love you,”

“I love you too,” then we both hung up. “Gerard that wasn’t funny.” I snapped more mad that I couldn’t stop my mother from coming here than that he had been messing with me on the phone.

“I’m sorry babe, I was just joking…”

“I’m sorry I didn’t mean to snap, its just…My mother is coming on Monday. She thinks that I work at the Met. and she has no clue what’s going on here. I was hoping to keep it that way, but now she’s coming here and…”

“Jynx baby calm down. I think I know a way to help. We’ll start by first saying that you took time off to show her around New York. You call up Ruby and tell her you need next week off.”

“What about my apartment. I can’t go there and I don’t think I’ll be able to find a place in the city that fast.” I was going into full panic mode.

“Babe calm down we’ll figure something out.” he pulled me back into the bed and wrapped his arms around me. “I’ll figure something out.” he kissed my forehead. “Do you wanna take a shower while I go make us breakfast,” I nodded and we both got out of bed. I took a quick shower and then changed into a pair of sweat pants and a tank top. Then went to his closet and pulled on another one of his shirts. As I made my way toward the kitchen I could smell him cooking something, I also heard voices. Loud male voices.

“So you tap that yet?” I almost laughed out loud but quickly covered my mouth. I peaked out and saw that it was Bob who had said that.

“Grow up,” Gerard said.

“No, and answer my question.”

“Dude seriously we all wanna know if she’s as good in bed as we all think, cause she’s a borderline porn star.” This came from Frank. I heard flesh hit flesh and smiled as I heard him yelp.

“Don’t talk about her like that, and its still none of your business.” Gerard said.

“Come on,” Mikey said.

“Yeah come on,” Ray chimed. I decided not to push my luck. I mean he’s still a man.

“Good morning guys.” I said loudly. All of their faces turned red. I walked right through the group and straight to Gerard, pulling him into a porno worthy kiss. I also wrapped one of my legs around him so that he had to hold it up. This would basically make then think we slept together already. I didn’t really care what they thought of me, but I knew how important a guy’s reputation with his friends is. I heard someone clear their throat and we pulled apart, well not completely he still held my leg. “Oh sorry. Uh babe, what are you cooking?”

“I was making French toast and bacon. I’m all out of eggs sorry,” he said. He was smiling down at me. He knew what I was doing and he knew I’d heard part of their conversation.

“It’s okay babe, I don’t really like eggs anyways.”

“Is that another one of my shirts?” I nodded. “It’s unfair that you look better in my clothes than I do…”

“Aww, Gerard and Susie sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G,” Frank sing in an annoying voice.

“You dummy your singing the wrong name,” I said. Then I started singing. “Gerard and Jynx sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G.” They all looked at me like I was crazy. Gerard was smiling bigger than before. “If any of you call me Jynx in the club I’ll kill you got it?” they still looked like they didn’t know what was going on.

“Sue is her stage name stupid. Jynx is her real name.” Gerard explained as I went over to the fridge to find something to drink.

“That’s a weird name,” I smiled at Mikey’s revelation.

“Yes Mikey it is.”

“You better call Ann and tell her about your visitor,” I looked at Gerard trying to figure out who Ann was. Then it dawned on me that he was using Robbi’s stage name. I smiled he’s so considerate.

“Yeah I wonder what she’s going to say about this. I’ll call after breakfast.”
