Three Cheers

Gerard and I finally dressed, but we stayed on my bed together. I was in a t-shirt and shorts, with Gerard's hand up my back, rubbing me gently. I smiled at him and he smiled back; we were quiet.

"I was miserable without you." Gerard confessed softly, "You know everything about me, I needed familiarity."

"You'll get it," I replied, "Just don't fuck me over, okay?"

He laughed, "I wouldn't dream of it."

"I'm serious, Gerard." I warned him.

"I know you are, Sugar. I won't fuck this up. I got Busy, and you, to think about." He leaned over and kissed me, "I got you somethin' too." He added.

I raised my brow, "What?"

He smiled, "I got you something for your birthday. It's special, and I can't tell you."

I rolled my eyes, "Whatever, Mr. Secrets."

"Busy and I thought of it." He explained, "It's gonna throw you through a loop."

"I'm a mom, I've seen it all." 

He shrugged, "You've seen this before, but it's better than before. Trust me."

"Okay, I trust you."


Gerard spent the night with me, which really made me happy. Having him in bed with me was weird at first, but I remembered how much it felt to have someone right there next to me. Not just my daughter, but a man who wanted to sleep beside me; I missed it.

In the morning, he was still there, snoring. He got what he needed; a night of rest, because I knew how much stress and anger he had been harboring. I had kissed his cheek, then got up to make coffee and breakfast.

My phone rang just as I was mixing pancake batter; I answered it, still mixing, "Hello?"

"Hi mama! I at the beach!"

I grinned, "Hi baby doll. Are you having fun?"

"Yes! I make a sandcastle now."

"Who's helping you?"

"Grandpa Billy and cousin BeBe."

"Make sure you make it big, okay?" 

She giggled, "I is! I gots seashells too!"

"We can--" I was caught off guard when I felt arms around my middle. I smiled to myself, then started again, "We can put them on your shelf when you get back."

"Let me talk to her." Gerard whispered to me.

"Kay! Daddy call?" Busy asked.

I hummed, "He's right here, B, you wanna talk to him?"

"He is?! Lemme talk!" Busy squealed.

I handed the phone to Gerard, who obviously heard her squeal. He smiled as he let me go and put the phone to his ear, "Hi B, how are you?"

Gerard stepped away, talking to Busy, while I continued to cook. A few minutes later, he gave me the phone back, "She wants to say bye."

"Hi, baby." I said.

"I go now, kay?"

I smiled, "Alright, I miss and love you, Biz."

"I loves you, mama."

I hung up soon with Busy and finished making breakfast. Gerard helped me, and we sat at the counter to eat. Again, we were quiet, but it was amazingly comfortable.

"Tonight, when B comes home, you get your gift." Gerard said randomly.

I looked over at him, "Can I have a hint?"

He looked back at me, making a funny face, "Nope. I'm surprised Busy hasn't told you."

"I bet you bribed her." I joked.

He laughed, "Yeah, I did."

"What did you bribe her with?" I asked.

Gerard shook his head, "That I can't tell you."

I frowned, "Why not?"

"It's part of the surprise." He smiled at me, "I told you, it ain't like before."

I shook my head again, "No fair."

"No one ever said life was fair, Sugar."


Gerard had gone to his place and came back with his bag and change of clothes. I wanted him to stay with me; I needed him to be with me. My heart sped at the thought of being without him.

I thought about him while I sat on my couch and played music. The simple thought of Gerard make me quiver, it have me goosebumps. I can't help myself.

I hadn't heard him come in as I sang along to Radiohead. I jumped when I felt his hands land on my shoulders. I let out a little yelp, then looked back at him, "Quit scaring me."

He laughed, "I didn't mean to." Gerard came around the couch and sat with me. "You still like this song?" He asked.

"Yeah, it reminds me of you." He rolled his eyes, "Hey, Creep is my all time favorite song. You should be flattered I think about you as much as I do."

Gerard leaned over and kissed me, "It reminds me of you... How I see myself." He mumbled, "It's all the things I want to say to you."

"Well, you're special," I kissed his bottom lip, "So fuckin' special," I sang to him with a laugh.

"Am I creep?" He smirked.

"Yep." 

Gerard pushed me back against the couch and hovered over me, kissing me. I wrapped my fingers in his hair again, pulling him closer to me. Gerard gladly pressed his tongue into my mouth and shoved his hand up my shirt, feeling my breast, then yanked at my bra.

He pulled from my mouth, "Take it off." He growled, "I want you so bad."

I obliged him, pulling my shirt over my head, and unhooking my bra. Gerard immediately dove in, nipping at my skin, licking a path to each, until he reached my nipples. He began to suck gently, causing me to arch my back and moan, tugging my fingers in his hair. I cried out softly, growing wetter by the second, "Fuck, Gee."

He let out a small laugh, paying my right breast some attention. I tightened my grasp, but loosen them when he leaned up, "Pull your skirt up." He told me.

I sucked in a sharp breath, wiggling my denim skirt up my legs and hips. Gerard slid down my body and planted kisses beneath my belly button and above my panty line. I shut my eyes over when he pulled my panties to the side and ran his hand over my sensitive, buzzing, alert skin. I moaned at his touch, licking my lips, gripping his shoulders; I shook when I felt his mouth against my wet core. I squeezed his shoulders, arching my back, and crying out when I felt him push a finger inside of me, "Holy fuck." I breathed out.

Gerard didn't respond, he kept himself occupied by pleasing me. Sucking and licking every inch of me, causing my toes to curl. Gerard hummed, causing a jerk out of me and loud moans, "That's it, Sugar."

I moved my fingers to his hair, tugging hard and bucking my hips against his face. Gerard let out a laugh, my whole body shook as my orgasm began to rise. I cried out again, speaking his name loudly, almost screaming it. His tongue flicked my nub over and over again, I could barely stand it.

"Tell me how it feels," Gerard ordered, placing kisses against my stomach, "Speak."

I moaned out, tossing my head back, "So good." I muttered.

Gerard pushed another finger inside of me, his movements became quick. I felt like I was gonna go crazy as my peak built. Gerard sucked at my hip bones, my muscles tightened around his fingers and I felt it coming. I couldn't speak, my orgasm hit me and I gripped his hair tightly, crying his name with my back arching.

Gerard surprisingly shoved his mouth against mine, pulling his fingers from me and rubbing me to help me come down. He pulled his mouth away, moving to my neck, "I love you." He said softly, against my neck.

I moaned contently, "I love you, too."
