CHAPTER NINE
*GERARDS POV*
"I've got it." I claim the check from everyone.
"It's over $200. Nope." Rye insisted, slapping down her debit card.
J grabbed Rye's debit card and chucked it at Mikey, making him look up from his phone. "What the fuck did I do?" Mikey and Rye both asked.
"Please, ladies," Aidan sighed, "I'll pay." J's eyes got wide with anger. "SINCE WHEN AM I A LADY?!?" She shouted, making everyone look over to our small booth. Riley almost fell out of her seat laughing.
Aidan motioned the waitress to come over and handed her the money. "Keep the change," he said, getting up.
"WAIT!" J shouted to get the waitress' attention, running over to her. She handed her a napkin and jogged back to the table. "And that, ladies and gentleman, is the only time you will ever see me run."
We gathered our things and stood up from the cramped booth. I saw Rye and Aidan grab each other's hands , and I decided to do the same to Frank. I saw the heat rise in his cheeks, which made the same happen to me.
Suddenly, I decided to pick Frank up, making him squeal, and put him on my back. He rested his head on mine. I could feel his breathing through my hoodie. But that beautiful moment suddenly changed when Frank fell off my back. That piggyback was a fail. He landed on his feet with a dud.
"You okay?" I whisper into his ear so no one can hear us.
"Yeah, just had a strong impact on my feet." Frank mumbles back. THUD. A shriek fills the air. We look up to J jumping up and down with her phone on the ground three feet in front of her.
"J? Are you okay"
"SHE TEXTED ME!"
"Who?"
"The waitress!" J was now in full victory mode. I've only seen this four times in my life including this. Poor Frank, he doesn't know what's hit him.
J does a celebratory dance every time something really good happens to her. I've seen her do this when she ran a 5k and didn't pass out (she passed out after), made first chair French Horn, made All Shore, and when she gave the waitress her number. In that order. This is the first time she's gotten a message back from a girl she's given her number to.
"Is she okay?" Frank chimes in.
"Not really. But she's fine. Mentally, she still needs help. Emotionally, she's very happy. We just let her have her moments." I explain.
