Only Love (Hey Angel Face sequel)

Goodbye New Jersey!

After dancing for what felt like hours, we both lay on his bed, staring up at the ceiling. His hand was in mine as the room was completely silent.

I then began to yawn, which Gerard took notice of. He gazed at me, not even having to ask if I was tired. He already knew.

"Wanna stay the night?"

"Yeah..."

"Okay..." He kissed my cheek before getting up and grabbing pajamas for the both of us.

Time skip to the next day

"...Gerard, where're we going?" I asked as we drove around. It didn't seem as if he had any destination at all as we just, kept driving around town.

"It's... it's a surprise..."

"You've been saying that for over an hour," I spoke, gazing at him, "We've circled around this block four times now."

"Really? I thought you wouldn't notice..."

"What's going on?" I asked, "Are we going somewhere? Or are you taking me home? It's nearly dark..." Gerard hesitated for a moment.

"I-" Then, his phone buzzed, and his eyes lit up, "Hold on!" He parked the car beside a random curb and checked his phone, "Yes..." He murmured, then gazed at me, and held the top of the steering wheel with his right hand, while putting away his phone with the left.

"Angel face, your surprise is ready." I eyed my boyfriend, curiously.

"Can't you just tell me already?" He chuckled and shook his head.

"No! I can't ruin it!" He then began driving once again, "Oh, here..." He handed me a red bandanna.

"Seriously? A blindfold?" I asked.

"Yeah! It makes it more fun!" I scoffed and shook my head disapprovingly, but put it on anyways.

"Wow, I can't see anything..." I spoke sarcastically. He chuckled.

"Don't worry, you won't have to wear it for very long."

"Alright..." I sighed, "You're not gonna make me spin in circles and hand me a bat, are you?" He laughed loud.

"Yeah, and you're gonna have to pin the tail on the donkey too." He joked.

"Right..." I laughed, "But seriously, is the blindfold really necessary?"

"Yeah, you'll die if you take it off." He spoke without even thinking.

"Not if I kill you first." He just chuckled.

"Oh angel face, you couldn't kill me. You love me too much."

"Damn, you got me there..." He chuckled, "You're not gonna murder me if I take this off though, are you?"

"Well no, I couldn't, but it makes it more fun!" I then felt the car pull to a stop and heard Gerard put the car in park, "And we're here, anyways."

Since my vision was temporarily impaired, I felt around for the handle to open the car door. Before I could grab it, Gerard's door opened and closed. The sound of his shoes hitting pavement carried over to my side of the car as he opened the door. I focused in on his breathing to keep myself aware as to where he was.

"C'mon, angel face..." I held a hand out, feeling the skin on his face. He chuckled before taking it. As I stood up, the ground felt all too familiar. There really was no need for the blindfold, but I kept it on for him.

He shut the door behind me and helped me to the front door. Gerard rubbed his thumb against my hand for only a moment. I could feel his eyes on me, I could feel his warm smile, and his joyfulness. He hesitated, opening the front door.
