Saved by the Way (SLOW REVISIONS)

Chapter 8

Gerard and I had been spending more time together lately we had grown comfortable with each other. He was no longer afraid to talk to me and I was more confident with my appearance.

Tonight was a special night. It was the dance. It wasn't a costume party, but Gerard and I had both kind of correlated costumes. He was dressing as Jack Skellington and I was dressing as Sally Tumblr.

Perfect for a couple like us.

I looked at myself in the mirror. I wasn't super comfortable with my body yet, but I liked the patchwork dress. To finish it off, I drew a scar on my face. I had also put on shades of foundation that was too light for me.

I finished up the look just as a knock was heard on my door.

I opened the front door to see Gerard. He was dressed in a black and white pinstripe suit and had also had pale makeup on. He had a black line painted across his face to give him that wide smile and be had some black eyeshadow on.

"You look beautiful." Gerard said with a smug grin on his face.

"Right back at you." I said with a wink.

Gerard chuckled and lead you to his car. He opened the door and let me inside.

We sped off to the dance.

When we arrived, we got so many strange looks, but neither Gerard or I cared. We were here to enjoy each other.

Taylor was dressed in a sparkling red dress and she had the nerve to come over to us.

She stopped and looked at us as if she was trying to figure out something to say. But she just went on her way.

A slow Christmas song came on. Gerard turned to me and said "May I have this dance?"

"Of course you may." I say and he grabbed my hand and lead me on to the dance floor.

We danced together slowly. He pulled me in close and whispered in my ear.

"I've been wanting to have a moment like this with you from the moment I laid my eyes on you."

I looked up at him and smiled. Then I snuggled back into his chest and continued dancing.

We continued dancing for what must have been an hour until we finally decided to take a break.

Gerard grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the gym where we could talk in private.

He looked so perfect. He acted so perfect. Why was he so perfect?

"Scarlett, I'm so glad I have had the opportunity to be with you tonight."

I gazed into his eyes. Suddenly he started leaning in on me. His eyes closed his head was tilted to one side. I tilted my head and leaned in as I realized what was going to happen. My heart skipped a beat as his lips mine.

After a few seconds, Gerard pulled away.

"I hope that was OK." he murmured.

"More than OK." I say back.

Pretty soon, Gerard leant back in to kiss me once again.

He put his hands down on my waist and started pushing forward on the kiss.

I leant in as well and brought my hands up to his head. I tangled my fingers in his hair and before I knew it, Gerard was tracing my lower lip with his tongue.

I opened my mouth a bit more and his tongue was quickly inside my mouth. I'd never experienced anything so powerful. It could only be described as being full. It was like I was exploding.

Our tongues and lips entertwined and it felt right. The kiss began to pick up speed and we started moving together quicker.

I pulled Gerard's head in closer against mine and kissed him harder. Gerard gently bit on my lip and pulled downwards. It felt perfect. If I could live in one moment forever it would be that one. Kissing Gerard passionately as if we were the only two people on Earth. As if we didn't have a care for anything else.

Pretty soon, Gerard started moving from my mouth. He trailed his kisses down my cheek and on the side of my neck leaving a little remnance of what had happened. He then worked his way back to my mouth and we kissed longer.

We kissed until neither of us could breath anymore.

I gazed upon Gerard with a smug look on my face. I liked him. Love, I wasn't sure on, but liked was a sure thing.
