In Love With a Stripper

(Jynx’s POV)

I watched as Jared and his friends were escorted out of the club. My heart was beating out of my chest. I was always so struck with fear when he was around I didn’t know what to do. I jumped when I felt an arm go around my waist.

“It’s just me babe,” Gerard said pulling me close. I turned to him and wrapped my arms around him. “You wanna stay or go?” I really wanted to get out of here, but knew that it would just give Jared too much satisfaction. Besides that he was gone now. Why shouldn’t I enjoy the rest of my party?

“Let’s stay a little longer,” I said kissing him.

“Okay,” he said taking my hand and walking through the crowd. Every one kept wishing me a happy birthday. “You know I have another gift for you right?” Gerard whispered in my ear. I could barely hear him over the music. I smiled.

“Gee, you already gave me a beautiful gift,” he’d give Robbi and I matching diamond tennis bracelets. Everyone was in awe when we opened them on stage. Syn had given us both diamond earrings to match the bracelets. I could tell they had collaborated on what to give us and I thought it was the sweetest thing they had done since our mother’s came to town.
“Well this one I want to give you at home,” he said.

“Gerard I was saying that you didn’t have to…”

“I know, but I wanted to.” I smiled at him as everyone sang out happy birthday to me. After the song was finished Gerard and I made our rounds saying thank you and good night. Every one just about got me gift cards. It just made me smile cause that meant more shopping, my favorite past time if I’ve ever had one. As we walked to his car I couldn’t help but to look over my shoulder then down the street. It was well lit, but it still felt eerie. Like someone was watching me. I knew that there probably was and I knew it was Jared.

I really wish he would fall off the face of the planet. I don’t even know where he got the idea that we should be together. I mean he and I only spent about a half-hour together that night after the party at Gerard’s. Then I danced for him, but we didn’t even talk most of the time.

As Gerard drove us home our fingers laced together. I looked out the window as the lights of the city began to get smaller and smaller. I no longer really liked the city. I mean it was fun for when Robbi and I had just moved there, but now I loved where Gerard and I lived. It was quiet and relaxing. Hell it was damn near perfect. By the time we made it home I was half sleep.

“Baby you too tired to open your last gift?” Gerard asked. Pulling me into the house.

“I’m never too tired to open a gift,” I said yawning. He just laughed and led me back to our room. Then he started to undo the tiny buttons down the back of my dress. “You know something tells me this gift is going to be more fun for you than for me.” I said as my dress fell to the floor.

“Now you know that’s not true.” He said kissing a trail between my shoulder blades causing me to arch my back. “Besides this isn’t even the gift,” before I could ask what the gift was he swept me off my feet then laid me down in the bed. His hand traveled down the sexy black corset-like lingerie he had a surprised look on his face.

“What? I came prepared like a good Girl Scout.” I said trying my best to copy his smirk.

“You Jynx were never a Girl Scout.” He said before I could say anything his lips were attacking mine. His hand moved to my breast and he released it from the constricted fabric then he started kissing down my neck until he reached it. He licked my nipple and then blew on it causing it to harden instantly. I arched my back to bring his mouth back into place. Then he did the same to the other one. He was going to make this painfully slow. I could tell by the smirk on his face. He slowly made his way down my body then began to slide my panties off.

“You are a little overdressed for this Gerard,” I said my voice was almost a whisper. I sat up and reached for his shirt, but he quickly covered my body with his and pinned them back to the bed.

“Nope, the rules are I can touch you but you can’t touch me.” thirty painfully pleasurable minutes later he trusted into me and we both came at the same time, but something felt different this time. “Shit!” he said once he pulled out of me and lay next to me.

“Was it that good?” I asked with a smile.

“Jynx don‘t freak out,” instantly I was on guard.

“What?” I asked.

“The…Condom broke.” with those words I couldn‘t breath anymore. “Jynx, its okay. Baby…” I kept trying to talk, but all that I could do was open and close my mouth now air was coming in or out. “Baby breath for me. Please,” I could hear the panic in his voice. I closed my eyes and made myself take a deep breath. “Baby its okay.”

“Gerard what if…” I couldn‘t even finish what I was about to say.

“We will deal with it together. If anything happens we will deal with it together.” He wrapped his arms around me having him that close was helping me calm down. “Now are you ready for you last gift?” he asked.

“If you have to move to get it no,” I said. He laughed and turned to the bedside table. He opened the drawer and pulled out a small blue Tiffany and Co. box.

“Here,” I took the box from his hand. I opened it to find a beautiful platinum diamond ring. “You like it?” he asked.

“Gerard,” I said tears coming to my eyes. “It’s beautiful,”

“It’s a promise ring. I want you to know that I’m not going anywhere. No matter how much we fight. No matter what happens. I’m here to stay.” He pulled me close and placed the ring on my finger. Then he kissed me it only lasted a moment.

We flew apart as glass shattered from across the room. He pulled the covers over me. The side of the bed I’d been lying in only seconds earlier was covered in shards of glass. A brick lay in the clutter. Around it was a rubber band with paper being held in place. I reached over to pick it up, but Gerard stopped me. “I’m going to call the cops. Get dressed.” I looked over at the window that was now letting the cold air in. “You can change in the bathroom lock the door if you want.” He said rubbing my shoulders. Then he got up and pulled on a pair of boxers. I scooted to the edge of the bed still scared that who ever had been at the window was still there. How long had they been there? Had they seen us make love? Was it Jared again? Gerard came back into the room I still sat at the edge of the bed scared to move. “Baby the cops are on the way you gotta put on some clothes.”

“Gerard…they might still be watching me.” I said. He caught my meaning and ran to grab my robe. I slipped it on and then headed into the bathroom. I quickly changed into a pair of yoga pants and a tank top. I kept the robe on as well. I felt completely exposed and I hated that feeling. At the club it was my choice to show what I wanted when I wanted. But here I was supposed to be safe. The cops arrived and searched all around the house. Then started asking questions. I was relieved that we were in Jersey so we weren’t dealing with the same cops as when we were at our old apartment. They actually took everything seriously.

“Mrs. Way do you have any idea who would do this?” I noticed how he called me Mrs. Way and I was about to correct it when I noticed they kept the brick away from me. All of them kept reading the note, but no one would let me see it.

“What does it say?” I asked him.

“You husband thought it best not to tell you. I must say Miss. I agree.” He said. “Do you know…”

“Jared Leto, from the band 30 Seconds To Mars. He’s been stalking me since I started at the club. He trashed my apartment that’s why I moved in with Gerard. He leaked pictures of me dancing at the club to the tabloids and he showed up at my party tonight. He threatened my friend and me. There were about a thousand witnesses to it. I…he won’t leave me alone. No matter how many times I tell him…” Gerard was by my side and wrapping me in a hug instantly.

“I hope you guys will take this seriously this time. When her apartment was broken into she called the New York Police and they ignored it.”

“Yes Mr. Way. We’ll take this seriously. For the night we’ll have a car set up outside for you.” Then they turned to leave.

“Gerard what did the letter say?” I asked. He looked down at me.

“Don’t worry about it. It’s not important and I don’t want you to be worried about it. We’ll sleep in the guest room tonight or do you want to ask if we can stay at one of the guys house?”

“I don’t care as long as you are there with me.” I said squeezing him tightly.

“Okay let’s go to bed.”
