Chapter 22
Gerard quickly let go of Frank
“Dude it’s not what it looks like, I was just helping Frank with his face.”
“Yeah!” laughed Tom “More like eating it Gee. What were you doing kissing it better?”
Tom went into the lounge laughing and before Gerard could stop him he said “Guys you won’t believe what I just saw”
“What did you see?” Asked amy quickly.
Frank and Gerard came walking into the lounge both looking a bit uncomfortable. “He didn’t see anything. Did he Frank?” Frank looked at Gerard in disbelief but he knew better than to disagree “Right” said Frank staring at the floor “Nothing”
Tom stared at Gerard and then back at the others “He” said Tom pointing at Gerard “Had his tongue down his throat” He said now pointing at Frank. “I told you he was gay”
“I’m not gay!” Snapped Gerard “It was just….I don’t know what it was, but I’m not gay.” He looked at Frank, he felt so guilty. Frank looked crushed but Gerard couldn’t be gay. He slept with girls. Hell he’d had a different girl everyday this week, sometimes more, there was no way he was gay. But that kiss had felt different, different to all the others. He felt a connection with Frank but he didn’t want to admit to it. “Anyway, I bought Frank here so we could explain about last night and our ways and everything” “What? So you didn’t do any of that already? Damn how long were you guys kissing for?” Asked Tom, then he looked back at the others “They were in there for a good 10 minutes y’know”
Gerard went red, “I told you, I was sorting Franks face out. Now can we get back to the point!” Snarled Gerard
Everyone went quiet. They’d had their fun and as much as they all loved Gerard they knew not to piss him off too much. They all knew what he was capable of.
Frank sat down as Gerard started to explain everything to him. He tried to listen but none of it was really sinking in. That kiss, it had been…there weren’t any words to describe it and now it looked like it was going to be one of those things that didn’t happen again. Gerard continued talking, Tom and Bill and the others occasionally adding things and then the room went silent.
“So now do you understand it all Frank?”
Frank looked up quickly, “Uh yeah” He hadn’t been listening, he didn’t have a clue what they’d been saying to him. He looked over at Bill and Amy, they were cuddled up in the corner of the sofa kissing, Hannah and Mikey were in another chair together doing similar things. Why couldn’t he, Frank have that with Gerard. Frank was about to ask Gerard if they could talk when the doorbell rang. Gerard got up off the sofa and answered. He came back too minutes later with a girl. He had his arm around the girls waist.
“So I guess I’ll see you tomorrow then Frank?” he winked at Frank and then headed down to the basement with the girl, leaving Frank staring after him
