Chapter 3
I love this story
~~
I snuggled up against Gerard's side as we watched his laptop screen. Someone opened the door and I smiled when I saw Dallon standing there.
It's been a week since our date and we also went out for ice cream the other day. It was so nice. I finally have my first boyfriend.
"Dallon!" I exclaimed.
"Hey, baby," he said. "Your mom let me in. Do you wanna hang out?"
"We're watching a movie," Gerard stated with a scowl.
"Dallon can watch with us," I said.
Dallon sat beside me and I smiled, crawling from Gerard's lap into Dallon's. I smiled up at Dallon and he leaned down to give me a kiss. Gerard huffed and I frowned as I pulled away. He got up, setting the laptop down.
"You two can watch, in gonna go smoke," he grumbled.
He left the room, shutting the door harshly as I flinched and whimpered.
"He mad at me?" I asked.
"No, baby, how can anyone possibly get mad at you?" Dallon asked.
I smiled, leaning up to give him a kiss. He held me close and I felt so warm and comfortable in his arms.
"Dallon?" I asked.
"Yeah, baby?" He asked.
"Do you like Gerard?" I asked.
"I don't know, baby, I haven't really talked to him," he said. "But I really like you though."
I giggled and kissed the tip of his nose. "I like you too."
He smiled, pressing his lips against mine. He ran his hands down to my hips, kissing me deeply. His tongue ran along my bottom lip and I whimpered softly. The door opened and Gerard came in.
"Forgot my lighter," he grumbled.
He walked out, slamming the door even harder this time. My eyes filled with tears and Dallon hugged me tight.
"Don't cry, sweetheart," he whispered. "It's okay."
"I don't think Gerard likes me anymore," I whimpered.
"Of course he loves you," Dallon reassured. "Like you said, he's practically your brother."
I nodded, burying my face into the crook of his neck.
"Frankie! Dinner's ready!" Mikey called.
"I asked you to get him, I could've done that," mom scolded.
I sniffled and stood, holding Dallon's hand. We went downstairs to where my mom was setting the table.
"Dallon, sweetheart, you can stay for dinner too," my mom offered.
She looked up and frowned when she saw me.
"Frankie? What's wrong?" She asked.
"G-Gerard doesn't like me anymore," I whimpered.
"What?" She asked. "Gerard!"
"What?!" Gerard snapped from the other room.
He came in, stopping when he saw me crying. He immediately turned and glared at Dallon.
"What'd you do?" Gerard asked, narrowing his eyes.
"Actually it's you," my mom said. "Frankie said that you don't like him anymore."
"What? No, that's not true," Gerard denied. "Button, I love you."
I wiped my eyes as he came over and gave me a hug. Gerard rubbed my back gently, kissing the top of my head. I hugged him tight as I cried quietly.
"Oh, Button, don't cry," Gerard whispered. "I will always love you. Don't even think for a second that I don't love you."
"I love you too, Gerard," I said.
He pulled away, wiping away my tears. I looked over at Dallon, who was watching a little awkwardly. I held onto his hand and smiled as I looked up at him.
"Come on, let's eat," mom said.
We sat down around the table. Usually Herard sits next to me but today Dallon was and Gerard sat at the head of the table. Gerard didn't seem very happy about that. We ate quietly and I kicked my feet as we talked.
"So, Dallon, are you in high school?" My mom asked.
"No, I just graduated last month," he said. "I'm just going to the community college starting in September."
"Gerard, why don't you go to college too?" My mom suggested. "You're nineteen."
"I just don't want to," Gerard said, giving Dallon a small glare.
After dinner Dallon had to leave and I frowned. But I walked him out to his car. Dallon smiled, wrapping his arms around me. He pulled me in for a kiss, pressing me against the car gently. I wrapped my arms around him, going up on my tip toes. Dallon pulled away and smiled.
"Bye, sweetheart," he said.
Dallon kissed my forehead and I smiled. He got into his car and I waved as he drove away. I skipped inside and went up to my bedroom. Gerard was up there, sitting at the desk. I gasped and ran up to him.
"Are you drawing me another comic?" I asked excitedly.
He smiled and nodded, covering up the page so I couldn't see. Gerard always draws comics for me. I love them so much, I have a stack of them under my bed. They were about superheroes and villains and I love them.
"How much longer?" I pouted.
"Tomorrow, Button," he said.
I giggled and sat on the bed as I watched him draw. He was so pretty when he draws and concentrates. I smiled, grabbing my paci. It was pastel purple with a plain white button. I changed into some plain white panties and one of Gerard's shirts again. I also put on some knee high socks, one was pastel pink and the other was yellow with white polka dots. Sometimes my feet get cold so I like to sleep with socks on a lot.
"What's it about?" I asked, trying to look over his shoulder but he blocked my view.
"Hush, go to sleep," he said.
I pouted and crawled into my bed. Gerard shut off the lights but kept the small desk lamp on, the small glow illuminating his body as his back was faced towards me. I loved watching Gerard draw. I loved the concentration on his face and the way his eyebrows would furrow together.
"Gerard?" I asked quietly.
"Yeah, Button?" He asked.
"Why don't you like Dallon?" I asked. "He's really a nice guy."
Gerard's arm stopped moving for a moment and I bit my lip.
"I just don't," Gerard stated.
"I wish you would," I mumbled. "It makes me sad."
"Come here," Gerard said softly.
I went over and sat in his lap, watching as he covered up the comic. He wrapped his arms around me, rubbing my back softly. Gerard kissed my forehead and I smiled. I rested my head on his shoulder as he hummed quietly.
"Sorry for making you sad," he whispered. "I didn't mean to."
"I know," I said. "I love you."
"I love you too," he said. "And you know what, I love you so much I'll even give you a sneak peak to the next comic."
I gasped, clapping my hands as I sat up straight. He picked up the small booklet, which was made up just from papers stacked and folded in half and stapled at the binding. He held the cover up to me and I gasped when I saw the drawing of my favorite superhero, Ouija Man. He was a superhero Gerard created and he was so cool. He can use a ouija board to talk to dead superheroes and get their powers.
"Let's see," Gerard muttered, deciding what to show me. "How about a preview of the new villain I made?"
I nodded quickly and he smiled. He showed me one page, making sure to keep the other covered. I read it, looking at all the pretty colors and designs.
"I like it," I said. "Can I pwetty pwease read more?"
I gave him my best puppy dog eyes, jutting out my bottom lip. Gerard bit his lip and I think he was actually considering it. After a minute, Gerard shook his head and I pouted. He gave me my pacifier and I smiled happily. I sucked on it gently closing my eyes as I rested my head on his chest. Gerard kept on drawing but I didn't try to look this time.
The door opened and I opened my eyes to see my mom standing there. She smiled, leaning against the doorway.
"I'm going to sleep now, you two can stay up later but just make sure you're not too loud," she said.
We nodded and she walked out, shutting the door.
"Gee?" I asked quietly, taking the paci from my mouth.
"Yeah, Button?" He asked.
"Do you think Dallon and I are gonna get married?" I asked.
I noticed the way his jaw clenched slightly as he frowned.
"You've been dating for a week," he stated.
"I know but he's just so nice and pretty and I like him a lot," I said. "What if he is?"
Gerard's jaw was still clenched tight and I noticed the way his grip on his marker tightened.
"Gee? What's wrong?" I asked worriedly.
He sighed and looked down at me.
"It's nothing, Button," he said.
"But do you think we'll get married?" I asked and he didn't say anything. "Why won't you answer?"
"Because I don't want to upset you," he said quietly.
"Oh," I mumbled, looking down at my lap.
I got up, going to lay down in my bed sadly.
"Oh nuh uh, you're not gonna be sad on my watch," Gerard denied.
He came over and crawled on top of me and I looked up at him. Gerard started tickling me and I shrieked, laughing as I writhed beneath him. His hands went under my shirt to tickle my sides and I laughed.
"Stop! Stop!" I begged.
Gerard smirked as I laughed so hard my stomach started to hurt.
"I'm happy!" I exclaimed. "Not sad, happy!"
Gerard stopped and smiled. But that smile faded as he looked at me. His face was inches apart from mine, his hot breath fanning over my skin. He glanced down at my lips then back up into my green eyes.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
Gerard blinked a couple times before standing up.
"I think I'm gonna head to bed now, I'll finish your comic tomorrow," he said.
"Why are you acting so weird, Gerard?" I asked. "You're being silly."
I giggled as he leaned down and kissed my forehead.
"You're the silly billy, Button," he said, tickling my feet as I laughed.
I watched him crawl into his own bed, turning his back to me.
"Night night, Gee," I said.
"Goodnight, Button," he replied. "I love you."
