I Need You to Stay

Chapter 7

Hey guys!! So I was suppose to post last night but I didn't because I was so tired. Im glad you're all like the story from what I see by your comments! Thank you so much, it gives me so much motivation :)

I opened my eyes and heard something vibrating on my nightstand. I looked around for a few seconds not realising it was coming from my phone. My eyes landed on screen to see Gerard calling me. I felt panic hit me. One part of me didn't want to pick up because i was scared. The other part of me was curious in why he was ringing me at 11 in the morning. I took and deep breath and picked up my phone answering it quickly.

"Hello" I said in my morning voice

"Hi, did I wake you?" Gerard asked. My stomach did a flip when I heard his voice.  

"Um.. Yeah, but it's okay" I said trying to push back a yawn

"I text you earlier but you didn't reply so I thought I would ring you. I was just wondering would you like going for some coffee with me today?"

I felt butterflies building up in my stomach. I was wide awake now. I felt like I could climb mountain Everest with the excitement that was going through me. I realised I didn't answer him yet and I was daydreaming for a couple of seconds

"Its okay, if you're busy. It's my fault I should have asked you earlier" He rambled snapping me back into reality

'No! No! I would love to go.  Sorry I was thinking" I blushed noticing how much I really do daydream 

"Great, how about I'll meet you at your shop and then we walk to Starbucks around 1?" Gerard asked I could heard some guys voices in the background probably Frank, Mikey or Ray

"O-okay, see you then" I  smiled 

"Bye Lisa" Gerard said my name softly like the word would break if he said it too loud 

I put down my phone. I got up and started jumping on my bed feeling the springs under me. 

"I'M GETTING CCOOOOFFEEE WITH GERARD WAAAYYY. I'M GETTING COOOFFFEEEE WITH GERARD WAAAAYYY." I shouted in a song tone.

"Lisa Elizabeth Roberts, what has gotten into you" Mom said opening my door

"Mom, I'm going to get coffee with Gerard!!" I squealed bouncing up and down kneeling on my mattress

"The ass guy?" Mom crossed her arms over her robe

"Yes the ass guy!" I grinned starting to feel my cheeks ache

"That's great honey!" Mom sat on my bed and stroked my cheek

"I have an hour and half to get ready, I don't know what to wear" I jumped up from the bed and walked over to my wardrobe

"Well let's go through what you have" She came up behind me and stroked my hair with her fingers as I went through my clothes

I waited outside the shop holding my sides while the cold wind blew around me. I heard a knock on the shop window from the inside. I turned to see mom gesturing me to come in mouthing the words "It's cold". I shook my head and turned around to see Gerard in front of  me smiling with bar of chocolate in his hand. I felt a smile come across my face immediately. His red hair blowing across his face because of the wind.

"Fuck sake wind" Gerard pushed back his hair with his free hand

"Hi to you too" I smiled walking towards him 

"I got this for you." He handed me the big bar of chocolate. "I was going to get your flowers but than I remember you said that flowers are a waste to you and that you're a chocoholic" he continued
