Venti

After walking in silence for 5 minutes I smiled for no reason.
I was just happy about the entire day.

"So.. Gerard huh?"
I asked.

"Ha, yeah."
he said, shrugging.

"I like it. It suits you. It's not a common name.
And I wouldn't call you a common guy so that's good."
I said, staring at the road ahead.

"Thanks for coming, Alex. I liked having you there."
he said, smiling at me.

"Thanks for having me, dude. Really, I loved you guys.
You're a different guy when you sing, did you know
that? You're less.. Shy. You've got this 'Fuck you' attitude.
It's badass."
I said, while we made a left turn.

"Yeah, I get like that when I'm singing.
I turn into this different person. Not alot of peope like
me when I'm not singing, to be honest with you."
he said, what made me look up in surprise.

"You're shitting me."

He laughed and shook his head.
"Nope. But you seem to like me."

"I do, actually. But I'm not sure if you like me, too."
I said, a little shy.

"Oh, knock it off. I let you come to bandpractice and
let you meet my friends, you should know enough."
he answered, frowning.

"Hm, I guess I do, then. Hey, this is my place.
Want to come up for a drink? Or maybe two?"
I asked, turning towards him completely.

"Ermm..."
he hesitated.

"Yay, let's go."
I said and pulled him with me.

He chuckled and followed me up the stairs to my appartment.
When we got in, I dropped my jacket on the floor and kicked
my shoes off.

"That feels niceee."
I said wiggling my toes.

I walked over to the fridge and pulled out 2 cokes.

"Want a coke?"
I asked, holding them up in the air.

"Maybe later."
he said, closer then I expected him to.

When I turned around, he was a few inches away from me.

"I do like you, you know."
he said, sincerely.

I nodded, suddenly noticing his eyes were a beautiful hazel colour.
Before I knew what I was doing, I took the step to close
the gap between us and I pressed my lips against his, gently.

When I pulled away slowly, I slapped myself mentally.

"Erm. Sorry?"
I whispered.

"No you're not."
he whispered and then pressed his lips against mine.
He slowly pulled back too, after a few seconds.

"Are you?"
I asked, barely above a whisper.

"Not a chance."
he said, before wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling
me closer.

Before I knew it, I was lost at the touch of his lips on mine.
I had wrapped my arms around him and held him
as close as I could without breaking his neck.
With a sudden movement, he had pressed me against the wall, hard.
Not that I cared, I wanted him to.
His hands held my face and it felt like my
skin was burning wherever he touched me.

Then he left soft kisses in my neck and I
let a moan escape. I felt him smile against my lips
before he kissed me again. His hands were on my back
again and he gently lifted me up. I wrapped my legs around him
and he broke away.

"No, don't.."
I said, out of breath.

"I'd like to know where the bedroom is."
he said, smiling with a sparkle in his eyes.

"We don't have to go there.."
I said, kissing him again.

He started walking backwards slowly before I broke
away.

"If you insist."
I said and I let him release me.
I grabbed his hands and led him to the bedroom.

"Jesus, it's big."
he said, looking around.

"Don't get all distracted, now."
I said, smiling at him.

"Oh don't worry. I couldn't be distracted if I wanted to."
he said and closed the door before walking over to me again.
"You have no idea how long I've wanted to kiss these lips."

He gently kissed them while I smiled.

"And hold you like this."
he said, wrapping his arms around my back again.

"I do hope that's not all you wanted."
I replied, walking backwards and holding on to Gerard.

"I'm not that kind of guy. But I have thought about this, yes."
he said while smirking.

"Good. 'cause I want you.."
I whispered in his ear what made him push me on the bed.
He placed his knees on the matrass as well, while pulling
off his jacket. Then he bent down to kiss my neck again.

He definetely found my soft spot as I let out another moan.
His hands were tugging at my shirt so I arched my back
and allowed him to pull it over my head.
I smiled while I pulled at his tshirt, too.
Within seconds his shirt was somewhere on the floor,
and I felt his soft, warm body against mine.

"I have no idea what you've done to my head. And I
pretty much don't want to know. But I.."
I said, while he just looked in my eyes.

"Hm..?"
he nudged me on.

"I want you. I want you so goddamn bad it's moronic."
I confessed, blushing slightly.

"That's a good thing, though."
Gerard said before pressing his lips ever so gently against mine.

"Are you sure about this, though?"
I asked, not wanting him to anything he didn't want.

In response, I felt his body against mine again and his lips
had more fire in them.
I took that as a yes and lost myself in Gerard again.

---

I woke up in the middle of the night, not used to someone lying
next to me.
Gerard stirred a little in his sleep and I turned to my right side
to look at him. His hair was a complete mess and covered most of
his face. He was lying on his stomach with his hands under the
pillow. I wish I could grab my camera to take a picture
of all his perfection but decided to take a mental picture instead.
I didn't want to wake him up.

I gently wiped away the hair that had fallen in his face.
When I had done that, I rested my hand on his left cheek.

"You're beautiful."
I whispered.

"I beg to differ."
he whispered back.
He scared the crap out of me, cause I had no idea he was awake.

He opened his eyes and smiled at me.
"Sorry."
he obviously noticed the matrass moving because of me.

He turned his body towards me completely and I shook my head.
"No need to be. I just didn't know you'd be awake."

"I wasn't at first. But your hand is cold."
he said placing his hand over mine, which was still on his cheek.

"I'm sorry, I didn't want to wake you. You looked
so peaceful I wanted to grab my camera."
I said, still able to smile after an entire day, evening and half a night.

"You're nuts. I don't look beautiful."
he said, closing his eyes.

I moved closer to him and kissed him softly.

"I don't ever want to hear that again, Gerard.
You're beautiful to me. If you could only look at yourself
the way I do."

He looked in my eyes for a lie he didn't find.

"Do you regret tonight?"
he asked, then.

"Not for one bit. You were pretty amazing, you know."
I said, blushing at the memories of his hands on my body.

Gerard smiled and wrapped his right arm around my
naked body.

"I had a good accomplice."
he said, while I laughed it off.

"I think I'll call in sick, today."
I said, then.

"Why?"
Gerard wanted to know, after moving a strand of hair out of my face.

"Because I want to repeat last night. Multiple times."
I said, rolling myself on top of him.

"I guess we could do that."
he said and I kissed him again.

"Can we do this forever?"
I asked, lying my head down on his chest.

"Of course. I think you'll get sick of me in the end, though."
Gerard said.

I poked his sides what made him chuckle.

"I think I might have fallen for you, yesterday."
he said to me and I looked up at him.

"I think I've fallen you a long time ago. I couldn't tell you when.
But I was just too stupid to realise."
I told him, truthfully.

"Who cares when it was? We're together now.
That's what matters."
he said, gently moving his hands through my hair.

"Yes, that's exactly what matters."
I answered, before falling into a peaceful slumber.
