Save Me From This Hospital Bed

Chapter 7

I actually kissed him. Though it wad not even seconds, I felt tiny fireworks erupt throughout my body. I hoped he felt the same way. I hurried home that night and crashed on my bed.

The next day, Gerard and I went out as he requested. He brought me out to a nice restaurant. I ended up wearing a white button down shirt with black skinny jeans. I looked somewhat formal, somewhat ununder-dressed. Gerard wore black pants and a black shirt. He wasn't dressed too differently than I.

"Okay, so, I want to get to know you," he spoke softly, looking through the menu. He looked into my eyes, kind vibes being given off, clearly.

"What's to know?" I skimmed through options. I saw a simple salad that seemed to tend to my liking.

"Music preference? Hobbies? Movie preferences? Y'know, the basic stuff," he smiled gingerly.

"I like The Misfits, Black Sabbath, Black Flag, The Smiths, Green Day, your music... I enjoy playing guitar and sometimes drawing-although, I'm not that good at drawing... I like horror movies. Oh, and I LOOOVE comics. Any thing else?"

"What do you think of Dungeons and Dragons?"

"It's pretty okay. I'm not good, but I'm okay.."

"Cool... Maybe we should play some time..."

A waitress walked over to the table. "Ready to order?" She was young, and pretty. Her hair was a vibrant orange. It suited her. She didn't look much older than I. Her name tag clearly read,"Hayley."

"Um, yes, thank you," Gerard said, his voice comforting. "I'll have a salad, please," hey look! Somethin we got in common!!

"And you?" She turned to me.

"Ahhh... Salad, as well, thank you," She nodded.

"Drinks?"

"I'll just take some water," I said, my voice cracking a little.

"Diet coke, thanks."
"Kay. I should be right back with your drinks."

"Thank you," Gerard nodded. She walked away.

"What kinda stuff do you like?" I asked him. He bit his lower lip.

"Smashing Pumpkins, The Smiths, David Bowie... I like singing, drawing, dancing around like a dork, spending time with my family...I like horror movies and sifi movies... I also like comics."

"Seems we are quite similar."

"Does..."

"Gerard, what is your favourite David Bowie album?"

"Hmm... I dunno... Actually, I do... I think it's Low. I love that one. It's so unique, y'know?"

"My gosh... You make this into a Miss America Pageant!" I whined. "I sound so awful!"

"Not at all!" He grabbed my hand. He kissed my knuckles, a high pitched giggle escalating my lips.

"You're beautiful, Frankie...," he grinned.

"Says Jesus himself,"I grinned.

"If I'm Jesus, you're God."

Oh boy, he was adorable. If he and I weren't taking it slow, things would've escalated quickly.

"Okay, so I have your drinks," Hayley came back. She set a glass of water in front of me. She placed a glass of diet Coke in front of Gee.

"Thank you," Gerard and I said in unison. She nodded.

"Okay, I'll be back soon with your meals."
