You Were Always Born a Crime...

Come On Angel, Don't You Cry...

~At Mikey's House~

"Michael? Who is this young lady?" Mrs. Way asked as Mikey, Gerard and I walked through the front door.

"This is Ryli," Mikey responded. "She's staying the night here."

"Oh... Well, you kids have fun!" She smiled slightly.

Gerard grabbed my hand and led me to the basement door. "Down there? That's MY room. Okay?"

I nodded. That's when Mikey took my hand and led me upstairs to his room.

"Alright, as long as we stay quiet, my mom and dad won't get mad at us."

My eyes widened. "Stay quiet?" Oh God. Oh dear God. I knew it. I shouldn't have came here with him.

Mikey chuckled. "No, not like that. Geez, I meant like if we talk and stuff."

Okay. Sigh of relief. Thank you...

"Oh... Okay..."

"So," he sat down on his bed, me copying him. "tell me about yourself."

"Like... what?"

He shrugged. "I don't know. Anything. Favorite band?"

"Smashing Pumpkins. Hands down."

His eyes got bigger. "No. Way. I LOVE Smashing Pumpkins!"

Yes! I KNEW I liked him for a reason! "Oh my God! AWESOME!"

He pulled me into a GIANT hug. "Gah! I KNEW there was something awesome about you!"

AH! GIANT SMILE OF HAPPINESS! MIKEY HUGGED ME!

Mikey leaned over and made us fall off his bed.

"Ah! The hell?!" I laughed in pain. I think I landed on a CD case... Ow...

Mikey laughed. OH! Laughing at my pain?! Ohhh... He's goin' down...

"You okay hun?" he asked with a laugh.

Okay... Blushing... He called me hun... "Yeah, I'm fine." I smiled and sat up slowly.

Mikey continued to lay on the floor. "I like down here."

"Err, why?"

He shrugged. "Beats me. It's just... nice..."

Mikey's bedroom door swung open. Grr... Gerard... "Ah HA- Wait..." His expression changed from happy-ish to disappointed. "Awww... I was hoping I'd catch you two making out..."

Whaaa?!?!

"Gerard," Mikey put on a look of annoyance. "Like I'd do that if I knew you were going to barge in here..."

Say what now? Mikey? Would do... WHAT?!

"Have you yet?" Gerard asked. Wow. That kind of sounded like... Preppy girl-ish... Okay, kind of scary...

"No..." Mikey paused. "I haven't." He looked over at me. "I think I might, cause GUESS WHY?!"

"WHY?!" Gerard said loudly.

"Cause SHE LIKES SMASHING PUMPKINS!"

Gerard's jaw dropped. "Get out!"

"Yeah, I know!"

"Aw man, I think I wanna kiss her now! Do you like The Misfits?!"

God, what has become of this... "... Yes?"

Gerard squealed. "I LOVE YOU!"

I sat closer to Mikey. "He scares me..."

Mikey put his arm around my shoulder. "I should too. I'm no better."

"Yeah, but... you're not acting scaring right now..."

Maybe I'm just slow or something, but it took me a few seconds to realize that Mikey was staring at me. Should I turn to look at him? Maybe. Maybe not. I need to flip a coin. No, I don't. GAH! I'M SO CONFUSED! I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna look back at him. Why is this a big deal?! Probably 'cause he's so close to me. Something's gonna happen if I do... I don't think I'm going to... I'm not gonna look. I'm NOT gonna look...

"Ryli?"

Okay... I don't have to look. I don't have to.

I felt Mikey's lips press against my neck. Okay, Mikey WANTS to kiss me. I'm not complaining, but wasn't this a bit early? I mean, I just met him, for chissake!

He kissed up my neck to my cheek. God, was my mind racing.

"Gerard... Go away..." Mikey muttered.

"Oh, oh FINE! BE THAT WAY!" He turned around. "Have fun kids!" and he slammed the door.

The second, no wait, the INSTANT the door shut, Mikey's lips crashed with mine.

God, he tasted like... coffee. Did I forget to mention that I love coffee? Can't see why I would. I'm a caffeine addict. Oh wait, you probably don't want to hear about this...

Mikey started running his hands through my hair.

I felt sort of bad. I was enjoying this way too much. Eh, I guess it was okay. I mean, I liked him. He liked me. That's good, right?

I felt his tongue brush against my lips, asking to make this more then just a simple kiss. We don't have anything else to do, right? NO PROBLEM FOUND!

I opened my mouth slightly. Oh yeah... He DEFINATLY tasted like coffee... I LOVED it! Not just that, but I loved the fluttery feeling I had inside. Ya know? That feeling you get in your stomach when you have strong feelings for someone? Yeah... Like that, times 1,000. Yeah...

Mikey's bedroom door opened slightly. Mikey pulled away. "GERARD! GO AWAY!"

"HA HA! I KNEW YOU TWO WOULD KISS!"

Mikey threw a CD case, I think it might have been the one that I fell on earlier, at the door.

Gerard closed it quickly before the case hit it.

Stupid Gerard...
