Best Day Ever

It was a BEAUTIFUL clear crisp September day. The sun was shining it was warm and the breeze was just perfect. A Great day for an amusement park or the beach or just laying on the grass, having a picnic or reading a book.

The kind of day lovers should spend together.

Instead she sat staring out over the New York skyline looming ahead of her. The Twin Towers gleaming in the sun. Frances was SICK of her life.

She had grown-up in a city, smaller than New York but still, a city none the less. She had always been the one picked on. Last one picked for teams. Ostricized and outcast.

She was geek and a nerd and PROUD of it.

The girls ALWAYS teased her she wasn't good enough to be part of their "group" and the boys always saw her as one of them.

So Frances became Franky. And she was happy enough with that.
She learned to lay low. NOT draw attention to herself. Her life was WAY easier that way.

One day she walked into rehearsal for the school play. She sat down and watched the lead singer strut back and forth across the stage. There were two male leads in the musical they were in.

Every one else in the school had a THING for Mike. She had of-course a thing for JOE.

She watched him strut back and forth. He was a senior. He'd NEVER notice her. She had ABSOLUTELY no illusions about that.

"Oh well, High School won't last forever." She noticed one other girl staring pointedly at Joe.

Her blond head moved back and forth as she watched him intently. Franky got up and moved over to were she was, maybe they could be outcasts together.

"Hey?" "Hey." The blond answered back suspiously, true sign of another outcast expecting to be picked on by someone new.

"You ugh..MIND if I sit here..I'm new..I'm Franky."

"I guess not..." she said not hostilely but not in a friendly manner either.
"You ..you got a thing for him don't you?" Franky said as she folded herself into the seat next to the blond.

Even though the blond had gone back to watching him and was following him with her eyes like a tennis ball at a match, she had the nerve to say,
"Nah! Nah what ever gave you that Idea?"

"Takes on to know one."
The blond's head spun around to face her. "Jesse...My name is Jesse." She said smiling.

That was were it all started. They had first become friends. They they started talking on the phone..sometimes for hours. Then comp time and IM's. Then Pm's. then Texts...

They started hanging out, going to the mall together. Both sets of parents were delighted that their daughters FINALLY had a friend.

They liked the same foods, the same movies, and games. They started telling each other stories.

They had the same taste in Music and Men. Well boys really. Mostly Movie stars and rock stars.

One night they got permission to go to a Halloween showing of Rocky Horror. The whole theater was going to be full of people in costume. Some of whom were Franky's "friends". She had been to lots of showings before, and knew A LOT of the responses. She convinced Jesse to go in costume.

"But I am no good at this stuff. How am I gonna be able to get a costume together that my parents won't flip over?"
"Well how 'bout you go as Magenta that's just a maid's costume.."

"A FRENCH maids costume! That's NEVER gonna fly with my dad."
"How bout Janet? That's almost not even a costume. You leave here dressed almost like you're going to a church lunch..when you get to the theater ...you can strip down as Janet does..."

"That's NOT...really a bad idea..I could tell em I'm going to a theme party and I am like the GOOD girl. What are you gonna wear?"
"ME? " she said with a smirk. "I'm going as my favorite character. I'll dress down to come and get you. I USED to play Janet too so it won't look suspicious when I pick you up. We'll BOTH look very prim and proper. I'll change at the movie, you can help me. Deal?"
"Deal!"

Later that evening they did exactly as Franky had said. The parents were clueless. NONE of them questioned them. They were JUST happy the girls were finally having ANY kind of social life.

They got to the movie and some of Franky's friends squealed when they saw Franky with some one NONE of them knew. "OHHH FRESH meat Huh Frank?"
"Shut the fuck up Tom! Everyone this is Jesse."

Jesse reached out to shake hands, one tall lanky guy bent over her hand and kissed it. He stood up and straightened his bow tie. "As REAL pleasure to meet you "Janet" Maybe WE can play tonight."

"Fuck off Dan! This is her First Time. I am going to be teaching her EVERYTHING!"

"OHHH a VIRGIN!" Tom squealed. "I remember when Franky was a virgin...Look what happened with that?" Franky shot him a look and pulled Jesse into the large bathroom. "This'll take a while."

Frank disappeared into a stall. She threw the dress and sweater and everything else over the door. "Gimme my bag?" She called over. Jesse slid it under the door and went to sit on a couch that was set up my the huge makeup mirror, and waited. "Call me if you need anything!" Frank grunted, "Kay! I'mma be out as quick as I can!"

It wasn't too long before Jesse closed her eyes and just sat there listening to the crowd. When she opened her eyes, it was to find Dr. Frankenfurter standing in front of her.

"Well Janet My dear..." She said in her best Tim Curry, "it's time to play."

They went out and into the theater and Franky was treated like royalty. This was her place to shine. They were given The center row isle seat EVERYONE wanted Franky to have clear access to the the make shift stage that had been set up down front.

During the movie Franky BLOSSOMED. And Jesse couldn't help but be drawn in.

When Janet began responding to Frankenfurter on the screen. Janet in the theater, did the same to the Frank before her.

It was that night they first kissed.
They at first pulled back from the kiss afraid that each other would be offended. Instead as the looked into each others eyes and then to each other's lips they pulled each other closer and into a tighter embrace.

It was that night they began as part of "The Show" to touch one another.
The show was the perfect 'cover' for their first 'pretend' arousals. Franky though not sure at all that Jesse would respond to her, she hid safely behind "the character" of Frankenfurter..If in the morning Jesse OR she was feeling regret, they could ALWAYS say it was JUST part of the
Playtime.

It was that night that turned cold and rainy, that they ran back to Franky's mom's minivan.
But that night AFTER the show was over and the rest of the crowd went home..They realised the ONLY place they were in a hurry to be was, anywhere, as long as the were TOGETHER AND ALONE.

It was that night that Franky and Jesse each lost a virginity to each other they had no idea they were ever going to lose.
They drove to an area known to be a place lovers went, on the outskirts of town, where no one bothered anyone one else and No one went near any of the cars, OR vans.

At first they sat there, Franky gripping the wheel so hard her knuckles turned white. At the theater it was easy, she could say what she wanted and kiss and touch Jesse how and where she pleased. The role had given her a certain amount of control and freedom. But, here ALONE, Franky
wasn't so sure of anything. Ultimately it was Jesse that made the real first move. It was Jesse who controled When and what and how much they did.

Their lips locked, their hands roamed. Their hearts began to beat, race really, as one.

Their bodies touched, their skin warming each other. They found secrets of their own and each others bodies just waiting to be unlocked.

They had become a couple.

It was easy to hide at first. No one thought anything of the time they spent together. No one cared when they slept over at each other's houses. In the same room. In Franky's case, cause she had such a big bed, IN the same bed.

They started taking ALOT of trips to the mall, and seeing ALOT of movies.

It was ONLY one day, when one of Jesse's rents looked at a file she had carelessly left open on a comp, as she ran to meet Franky at the the mall, that things changed.

DRAMATICALLY over one afternoon.

The 'rents got together and decided for the Girls own good that they should NOT see each other anymore.

It was ...healthier for them, in the long run.

They sat them down together, and told them in a unified front. Jesse and Frank clung to one another. They screamed and cried and NONE of that helped.

"WE'RE IN LOVE!!" "Now Frances you're NOT in love..That's preposterous! What about that nice boy DAN or Tom you and he hung around one another alot."
"TOM is GAY mom! and DAN..Dan TRIED to... He thought just cause I played.. He tried to get me to.." Franky sobbed at the memory. Dan had forced her to do things one night she JUST wasn't ready for.

"He tried to get me to-"
"Boys will be boys Frances..YOU know that..Maybe if you didn't wear those...costumes that ..SHOW too much.."her father said angrily.

"That has NOTHING to do with it! He tried to hurt me and YOU don't care. I love Jesse and you want to take that away! You ALL should be thankful! At least we won't get each other pregnant!"

"I for one would RATHER be dealing with that than...THIS.." Jesse's rent finally said. "Whatever you and My Jessica think you are feeling, it's wrong and it HAS to stop! And SO I am putting a stop to it NOW. Jessica say goodbye to your .."He snarled the word, "FRIEND" You wont be seeing her again." Jesse was almost despondent. "Franky? Don't worry.. there's always school."

"No you are going away to school I am DONE with your disruptive behavior. You will finish OUT of town! Your mother lives..." Jesse's father stopped short and glared at Frank. "You will be living with your mother! THis is DONE!" he grabbed her by the arm and he and his fourth wife lead her away.

Frances ran upstairs to her bedroom and watched them shove her into their car. She wasn't sure she would EVER see Jess again.

Franky lay on her bed and cried her eyes out. She could smell her lover's scent on the pillow.

She would NEVER be the same.

Franky stayed there for days. They took her comp out of her room. Withdrew her from school. Kept her isolated. They wanted no one to KNOW about their daughter.

But when Jesse and Franky both suddenly weren't in school. EVERYONE figured it out.

One day when she was sitting quietly at her kitchen table working on her correspondence school work her mother sat down.

"Have you heard anything?" Franky looked startled at her mother, her tone had been kind and gentle. "Wha- what?"
"From..your..friend?"

Franky started to shake at just the thought of her, what if Jesse had DONE something to herself.

Franky had NO idea where she was, what if Jesse needed her and she COULDN'T help her!

But Franky was also afraid to show too much emotion. Her Father had become a fanatic. If Franky did or said or even HINTED at any thing that even REMOTELY reminded him of Jesse and Frank's relationship, he'd begun to try and beat it out of her. "N-No." she said hesitantly.
"I just WISH I knew she was alright."
Her mother got up and looked out the window for her husband's car. It was no where to be seen.

She opened the living room window NEXT to the drive way, where IF someone WERE to drive up the sound would be carried in. "It's SUCH a pretty spring day..I got an email..At work. It's about an..internship at a job. In..New York. They are looking for independent thinkers. Young BRIGHT, OPEN-MINDED individuals. My..Contact thinks you would be ideal."

Franky looked at her puzzled. "I think you would LOVE the people that suggested this...POSITION." Her mother was acting really weird.

"I THINK I can get your father to agree with it. You could RUN to your future without Running away.." Franky wasn't sure, but she THOUGHT her mother was trying to tell her something.

"OH for Pete's sakes Franky DON'T make me say it! I LOVE you, no matter what. You're STILL my daughter No matter WHO you love! Now do you wanna move away or not. At least I won't have to see it. And if it is just a phase then you'll out grow it faster if I don't make SUCH a big deal about it. Forbidden Fruit is ALWAYS the most tempting."

Franky threw her arms around her mother. "Oh MOM!! Thank you! Thank You!"
"Don't thank me yet, we still have to convince your father."

Franky became a model citizen of a daughter. She didn't argue, she didn't fight. She had a goal in mind now and she was going to do EVERYTHING she could to get there.

To get to her.

That was then...

That was then...

Today she was on that damn ferry.

Things had NOT worked out the way Franky had planned. Jesse had changed while they were apart and so had she. Jesse had gotten her own apartment in NYC, after leaving her mothers house in Philly.

She worked the bar scene, setting up stuff in the clubs and working crowd control. She looked older than she was, enough that when she got false birth cert. record and then "real" State issued fake ID no one questioned.

She was paid under the table because were ever she worked she
got plenty of patrons, male and female to buy extra drinks, both for her which she almost never drank, and for themselves.

But she had recently been becoming more distant. Franky was beginning to wonder if Jesse even wanted her here at all.

They had gotten into a HUGE arguement the afternoon before.
It ended with Franky in tears and Jesse walking out. A little while later Jesse called Frank from the club. She wanted her to come down. She was sorry and she wanted them to have a fresh start.

And she wanted to DANCE, dance with Franky.

Franky RUSHED down to the club. She had thrown on her vintage Joan Jett tee shirt, and a pair of black jeans. Her black hair pulled up in the back and held back in place with a few sparkely clips Jesse had given her when they were still back home.

When she got to the club, they let her in RIGHT away. Every one KNEW Franky and their biggest draw were a couple. No one CARED.

Jesse was a local legend. Guys came from miles around to hit on her. Girls came to see what was so special. And the GIRLZ came to compete with the boys for her attention. But she ALWAYS went home to Franky. Unless ofcourse Franky was there with her..Then they'd go home together.

Which is what Franky was hoping was going to happen last night.

And it DID, sorta.

Only Jesse had decided she didn't wanna go back to their apartment..and even if she did she didn't want to do it with JUST Franky.

Franky walked in the music blaring, the crowd thick, and in the center of it all, Jesse.

She was wearing a thin black silk blouse. The kind that left VERY little to the imagination. Her black leather jeans looked like she had been poured into them. They showed off the tight, young, angular body she had.

Franky had been working hard to take care of all of Jesse desires. If Jesse wanted new jeans, even leather ones, she got them. Franky settled for pleather or fake "leather" jeans, that was, she HAD them but NEVER had the guts to wear them. But Jesse had insisted. And Franky just couldn't say no to Jesse. What ever Jesse wanted Franky did or got for her.

Except last night.

Last night Jesse wanted Dick. And while she wanted Franky to come and play too, when Franky balked at the idea..Jesse told her the words she had NEVER heard from her before.

"DON'T. Wait. up."
"But!!! I LOVE you and I thought you LOVED me!"
"Maybe I did..maybe I didn't MAYBE it was JUST a PHASE...either way I DON'T Love you like I did...and besides if you REALLY loved me...you'd let me do what I want with WHO I want."

Franky stood there in tears in the cold pouring rain. Rain JUST like the night of the RHPS.

She had found her in the rain, now she had lost her in it.

Franky stood there as she watched Jesse walk away.
"DON'T. WAIT. Up. I'll be home when I'm Home."

She watched Jesse get into a black limosine. As she closed the door it sped off to Who knows where.

Franky wandered the streets, not really wanting to go home.

"FUCK! Do I even HAVE a home?"

So that was how she spent most of the night before.

Now she was on this STUPID ferry on her way to a job she REALLy didn't want, in a city she really wasn't fond of, All to please some one who didn't even seem to care anymore.

She stood there looking out over the Water. She was so pissed she kicked the side of the boat.

She didn't notice the guy in the corner, furiously scribbling in a notepad. He was SO into his work he ALMOST didn't notice her.

But at the Loud THUMP of her kicking the boat, he noticed. It startled him and made him jump.

That in turn caught her eye. The movement really only outta the corner of her sightline.

"Ugh...I KNOW it's PROBABLY none of my business, but...are you alright?"

"Sorry." She mumbled. "I..UGH! I just wish I hadn't left my cell at home..well at the apartment." she shook her head in disgust. "Damn thing was dead as a door nail anyway.."

"You forget to charge it?" "No ..well..Kinda..I used it ALOT last night...And this morning when I got home I figured there'd be no point in charging it..I just WISH I had it right now SO help me I'd call!"

"Wull.. Is it a local call? Like In the states?"
"Yeah Manhattan." She pointed straight ahead. "I work in one of those towers. But it's a suck job.. well NO..No it's NOT but...It's a job I don't want...And I'm in a city I don't wanna be in.."

"Wait! what do you mean?!...This is a Fuc- Sorry..This is a Fantastic city to be in...except if your depressed...Then it can be DAMN lonely.."

"Well considering I never WANTED to come here to live, not to BE here anyway, not cause of the city itself,..and the- Wait never mind..I don't mean to bother you.."

"No! No you're NOT bothering me..You? You wanna use my phone?"

"You sure?" "Look as long as you don't drop it in the harbor..I..I think it'd be fine..Here. I got a shit load of minutes on there too. I don't call that many people...It's not even REALLY mine..The company's. I only have it because I need it incase they need me at work...and so My mom or brother can check---again ugh probably you don't care huh?..If you wanna ...You can certainly borrow it."
She hesitantly took it from his hand. "Go On..Just dial and do what ever you have to to feel better..I promise I'll TRY NOT to listen."

She looked down, she REALLY didn't care Who knew. Or IF this guy was JUST being nosy and trying to cover by saying what he said. ALL she knew was that she couldn't go into work today.

She dialed the number quickly before she could change her mind. She looked at him. "Green button.." He said and then reached over and pushed it anyway. She noticed how cold his hands were.

He was nervous as hell on this pretty early September after-noon. She smiled a little weak smile at him and held up one finger. He was shocked as he heard her start to speak.

"Heeey, Listen Um--It's..It's me Frances, Franky-" Her voice was wraspy and raw, he had NO idea how she could do that so easily. "Listen ...I'm...Imma REALLY sick.." She made a noise that sounded to Gerard like she was going to vomit ANY second now.

"...NO, I'm NOT still home...I'm, I'm on the ferry I-" She made the noise again.."Listen No I can still come in..Really? Ya sure? OOOOKay, if you don't care Barb..I will try to make it in tomorrow...OOOkay, Soup right! I will...Bye."
She looked at the phone until she was SURE it was off. She handed it back to him.

"Thanks...I feel ALOT betta." She said making fun of a jersey accent. "Ohh dat IS weeeeird." he said clutching his Own stomach.. "What evva you had...I Tink yous gave it ta me.."

If he had NOT been talking to her on the ferry before he NEVER would have believed she was ANYTHING BUT sick.

He looked at her and gave her the puppy dog eyes. "Could..? Could you help me DO this? I can at home, where I got things set up but...Here I need and extra set of hands.."

She looked at him puzzled. "Wull sure I mean I owe you...You did just let me use your phone..That inturn helped me get the day off. If I had waited till I actually got to the island, I NEVER woulda been able to convince myself NOT to go in...And I woulda sat at that suck desk, at that SUCK job, and thought about Just how much my life SUCKS!!"

"You don't like NYC?"
"Nah It's not that.., exactly. I actually haven't seen THAT much of it..I just...I had a REALLY bad night last night and I think reason I came here for..Maybe doesn't exist anymore.." She shook her head.

"So? What do you want me to do?"
"Just hold the phone right....Here." he took her hand and held it up infront of her. He pressed a couple buttons and then pressed the phone into her hand.

Franky heard it ringing, then the click of someone answering. "Cartoon Network!"
"Hi Daisy..,i-it's Gerard..Can you put Kirby on?" he silently mouthed the words to Franky, 'My dick-wad boss'.

"You sound HORRIBLE Gerard.. Hold on.." a very bored sounding female said. Gerard placed one finger over his lips asking her for silence. Soon the heard a male voice on the phone.
"This is Kirby."
"Heeeey...IiiiT's Gerard..I..I want you to know I...I maybe be a little late this morning..I'm- I'M On the F-!" he grabbed the rail with one hand and stuck his finger down his throat with the other. Not far, JUST far enough to make him gag. The effect was perfect.

"OH NO!!" Kirby said over the phone.
"Oh NO! No no NO!! You don't need to come in Gerard."
"But..I..I almost in I -" he proposely did it again.

"NO!! NO! That's ALLLRIGHT! We don't need you that bad! WE can Get our own Coffee thank you very much! No You...You just take it easy and rest..Look if you want call in later and tell us how you are doing but.. Other wise Just STAY home!"

"Ooh... Oh OOKaaaY" Gerard eyes twinkled as they looked at her but somehow, he still managed to sound as if he STILL might get sick again. "IF-If you say so.."
"I Do! We can survive with out you! Take it easy, and get some rest!"

Click!

Click!

"Wull It's Funny..But Now I..I FEEEEL alot Betta too! Look since you gave me what you had and Now we both got no wheres to go.."

"Who said I had no where to go?"

"You're right YOU didn't. I CAN'T go home..My MOM would KILL me! And YES..I STILL live with my parents."

"Well if you got good ones why not? No rent, somebody else cooks for you, somebody CARES what time you get home..or if you're sick..I mean REALLY sick. I wish I was so lucky.."

He reached in his pocket and pulled out a chapstick.
"Well maybe so..But..I GOT no place I CAN BE until dinner tonight..I uh, got issues with sticking to things..And SINCE I LET you use MY phone to get you YOUR day off You owe me."

"OH Really?"
"Yeah really, Maybe I just scroll back and hit redial and tell your boss you are here playing hookie with me and that you think you got a suck job?"
"Oh Yeah!? GO right AHEAD! I TRULY DON'T GIVE A FLYING FUCK!"

He looked at her intently HE had been teasing.
"Then WHY have the job? If you REALLy hate it, why do it? Why not do something you love? Something that when you are laying on your deathbed,
you can say..Even If I sucked at it ATLEAST I tried. I tried to make the world a better place?"

"Same question You?"
"You didn't answer My question, FRANKY?"
"You're RIGHT I didn't GERARD! Ohh Kay LOOK, I don't wanna get into this..Okay...I had a REALLY bad night..My heart got stepped on and I just needed time to think. I didn't ASK for your help."

"You're right you didn't. It's none of my business why you are living a life you don't want..I wouldn't want anyone telling me how to live my life..And I sure as hell am NOT the one to talk about making a difference..Hell all I make Is coffee..." He smirked at himself. "People in glass houses.."

Her eyes blazed at him. "Shouldn't throw stones!" He couldn't help but notice how beautiful those eyes were.

"But if I can just say one thing?" he waited for her to stop him, but she didn't. "..Who ever it was that stepped on your heart last night..He was either an idiot, a damn fool or a heartless bastard. Whatever way he was stupid."

She had been getting angrier and angrier as he spoke, until he talked about him just making coffee. She had realised he really meant no harm. Then when he said what he said about he getting hurt last night..She couldn't help but blush.

"Jesse...the person who hurt me was Jesse..my high school crush." "oh.."
"The reason I am in NYC."

"Oh..I didn't mean to intrude. I Honestly, FOR ONCE, wasn't trying to be nosy."

"No Harm, No foul. I think it's been over for a LOT longer than I knew. I JUST CAN'T EVER BE what Jesse needs..Infact I don't even wanna try."

"OHH..Well..Jesse's loss. Look, you got off today and now I do..I can't go home and you haven't seen NYC. How 'bout ..WE spend today together? I mean no strings or nothing..Not even last names if you don't want ..Just..Let me make the world a betta place for one person today...Let me try to make you happy?"

"Well I DID just get paid..and all MY bills are paid..as far as Jesse's...let Jesse take care of Jesse from now on."

"Damn Straight!" he almost barked grinning at her. His mood was merry and infectious.

"You are in a good mood aren't you?"

His eyes got really big and he looked at her in a an almost derranged and yet silly way. "I SHOULD be!...With all the chems and pills and shit they have me on!"

"Well I think I am catching you're good mood from you..Lets go get some clothes, and a locker at Grand Central and we can play tourist and guide today huh? Maybe even spend the whole day together. See ALL I wanted was someone..ONE soul to care..AS Much about me AS I did them..Just for one day."

Gerard took a step forward towards her. "Then, today..JUST for one day..Let's care about each other..Let's paint the town.."

"OoH I Love that old Movie..On the town..It's all in twenty fours..How their lives all change SO much in so little time."

"And it's ALL NYC..Come on lemme be someone I'm not today..Lemme be Charming and sexy and sweep you off your feet."

"Only if you let me pretend to be the kinda girl you wanna do that to.."

Gerard shook his head no once. "That you don't HAVE to pretend."

"If I didn't KNOW better I'd say you WERE trying to Romance me.."

He reached up to try and tame some of the dark tendrils billowing around her face. He smoothed some down as he took her face in his hands, taking one step closer.

Gee found himself wanting to kiss her. He leaned in hoping for some kind of reaction.

"Maybe ...maybe today, just for one day, that's JUST what we BOTH need." He said hoping to convince her.

She smiled up at him, not realy sure WHY she was having this reaction. She usually kept to herself and would have NEVER, until last night, ever even thought about kissing someone besides Jesse. But Jesse had done ALOT more than kissing last night Franky was sure of that.

Infact Jesse had not bothered to come home.

She had called though. "It's me...I'll be by the apartment sometime later today.."
"You mean you're not coming HOME?" There was along pause on the phone.
"I'm NOT sure where that is anymore.."
"Oh... well.. in that case, I'm not gonna be here when you get here."

Click.

Franky heard the line go dead, and slowly hung the phone back up and got up and went to sleep away from the bed..away from the bedding that smelled so much like Jesse...

But that was last night.

Now this beautiful boy was about to kiss her. She had been attracked to guys before Jesse so that wasn't foreign to her. What was weird was that someone who looked like him, was attracted to her.

Not that he was perfect by any means..He was a bit puffy and his hair was a bit too long. But he had startling beautiful eyes that twinkled and a gorgeous smile, even if his teeth weren't 'Model' perfect that just made him that much more applealing to her.

"Well Franky what would you say? What would you do IF I were trying to Romance you?"

"I'd quote a very wise man...he said 'maybe today, just for one day, that's JUST what we BOTH need.' and then I'd tell him to shut up and kiss me."

Gerard smiled as she spoke, "He sounds pretty damned smart." he said as he leaned down very slowly, JUST like in a movie, to smile almost against her lips, and kissed her.

It was soft and warm, and Franky at first almost forgot to kiss back, his lips were so gentle.

But then as she did, he began to tease her lips a bit with his own and hestitantly his tongue touched her lips, seeking entry.

Franky felt her body respond to his almost instantly. It was immedate and visieral. She had not felt this way in a VERY long time. She wasn't even sure she had ever felt this way before.

But while he teased he didn't push. He offered but not demanded. Franky pulled back for just a second. They stared into each others eyes not sure of what the other was thinking.
"If I offended-" Gerard didn't have the chance to finish what he was saying. Franky had decided to throw caution to the wind. She placed two fingers over his lips.

"JUST for one day..I don't wanna think or wonder or doubt. Just for today I wanna be ..Happy. Romance the Hell outta me why don't ya? Show me your city..Let's fool them all..into thinking WE are lovers, that WE ARE IN LOVE."

"THAT won't be hard at all." He said in wonderment. He had half expected her to slug him. But instead she smiled at him and kissed him again instead.

Gerard pushed his messenger bag back behind himself and pulled her closer. He was desperate for someone ANYONE to look at him the way she just did.

And he was going to enjoy the hell out of it!

If only for JUST ONE DAY.

This was going to be the best day ever.

(Sorry these arent coded yet I just wanted to get them up ASAP)

(EDIT: So coding fairy dropped in to help... )

Franky looked at him and smiled. She liked the way he was looking at her too. AND the way he made her feel. "I feel like I'm some princess and your my knight in shining armour, saving me from once again being imprisoned in those tall towers." He bowed slightly with a grin. "My pleasure M'Lady."
"You gonna use you're sword today too?" she said with a provacative tone in her voice and sparkle in her eyes.
"IF I am DAMN lucky,,, maybe. I sure as hell hope so." he murmured as he leaned in for another kiss.

They spent the day by first going to Grand Central. "If your gonna be a a tourist in NYC you hafta see this place." He lead her through the crowds to a wall of lockers. The bought one for the day putting all of the things they wouldn't need, work stuff and some of their dress clothes in it. They first bought her an old Joan Jett t-shirts and and some ratty tatterd jeans in a little "vintage" store they passed along the WAY.

"In this case" he muttered to her "Vintage is just a fancy way of saying used...They call it "Vintage" instead of second hand," "They can charge WAY more." "'xactly!"

Gerard only had to change as he carried a change of jeans in his bag, and he wore a his Iron Madien T under his back button down shirt. He stood in there in Grand central unbuttoning his shirt as she came back from the rest room, having changed. He had done the same with his pants, and now stood wearing the jeans. He had neatly folded his work pants and was ready to put them in the locker. "You want an extra ..You put your clothes in with mine they'll smell of smoke." "That's no big deal..I can live with that smell for the day. Besides I put mine in with yours...you're gonna go home smelling like all girlie from my jasmine oils."

"Hell I bet Mikes doesn't give me a minutes peace about that." he said his eyes twinkling at hers.

Franky felt a twinge of jealousy. "Mikes?..Who's Mikes?" Franky looked at Gerard he WAS beautiful. The kind of guy that if he wanted to could have any one he wanted. Yes he was a bit chubby and his hair was a bit too long, but with the tiniest bit of polishing, he would be a knock out. Franky was MORE than A Little jealous of this guy, even though she KNEW in her own head she had no REAL right to be. It wasn't like they were a couple for REAL. Yet she couldn't help the way she felt, nor stop herself from asking the question. "He..You love him? does he Love you?" Gerard answered with out thinking. "Course He does. I mean We do." "oh." she said quietly, it wasn't until he saw her face fall that it occured to him what she meant.."OH! oh no not THAT way. He's my little Bro. We're Brothers. He's still in school, younger than me." A smile tugged at the corners of his lips, "We almost had a shakesperian comedy on our hands there."
Franky looked slightly embarressed. "Sorry." "It's okay ..Were you..just a bit jealous there for a sec? I think you were, and honestly, I'm flattered."
"Then you should be cause yes I was. I know I got no right to be but I am." "Then were even then, cause I am jealous as shit of this Jesse. Tell you what. You don't worry about Mikes, and I'll ignore Jesse even exsists.." he boldy reached over to her and she eagerly walked into his arms. "Today.., it's You and me. I'll be yours and you be mine. We'll pretend the world doesn't exsist. Except for the shops and places we wanna go, but you KNOW what I mean.., right?"
Franky smiled. "I understand..and that sounds GREAT to me!" she reached her arms up around his neck and wove her fingers into his dark hair, as she looked up at his lips.
"Let's pretend we're happily falling in Love?"
"I don't think I'd have to pretend too hard." he said as he bent his head and his lips found hers again. Their tongues gently teasing each other, not quite entering yet. He pulled away.
"Come on Sugar..I got ALOT to show you in just one day."

He lead her out through a merry walking tour of the city. Up town from Grand Central and all over manhattan. Theater Row, passed Tiffany's and passed the windows of the designer shops on fith avenue. Up to Mcay 's back down to the Empire State building. And over to Times Square and the MTV studios.
"Some day maybe I'll try starting a band again..Maybe I'll be in there."
"I bet you end up on that HUGE screeen..For New Years maybe even.."
"Aww wull I don' know 'bout that." he said with his full jersey accent coming through.
"The Whole worl' watches Times Square on NUOOH Yeahr's..." He turned to her looking seriously at her for the first time since they got off the ferry.
"You said you hated your job...What DO you wanna do?"
She thought for a minute. "If you want honesty.., I have NO FUCKIN IDEA...I just KNOW I'm not doing it yet..and I KNOW I wanna leave the world a better place than when I found it..But how I do that? I JUST dunno."
He grinned at her as he looked down on her smiling seductively.
"I bet you make your mark somehow..and ya know what..Maybe..your right maybe I Will get to do Something to be remebered for someday.. Will you remember me Franky? I SURE as hell think I WILL remember you..and That's ONLY if I give you a chance to get away from me.." He leaned down and whispered to her. "Maybe I won't ever let you go.. "

Gerard kissed Franky again, trying to make it the best kiss she ever got or would EVER get..The kind of kiss that makes your toes tingle, the kind you remember years after it happens. It sent Gerard's head spinning and he hoped it did for Franky too. He shivered into the kiss as she kissed back. Her lips were soft and warm and inviting and as they stood on "the world's corner" It seemed like their was no one else around for the two of them. The world around them kept on moving, but for them, none of it mattered.
He Very reluctantly lifted his head.."I WILL REMEMBER THAT...For as long as I live..I Promise.." She said smilling up at him.."And if you REALLY wanna make me rememeber you for ever there IS one thing you can do.."
His eyes shone brightly, "Anthing Franky..You name it and if I can do it I will! Anthing at all!"
"Get me some Food!" She said looking at him with her eyes going crazy. He made the face back at her. "OH! THAT I can DO!.."
They picked a walk up Pizza counter that also sold Nathan's kosher hot dogs.."Aww See That's New York..Imma have a kosher dog too." She said as they stood and ordered.

While they were enjoying a Gloriously clear fall day, Gerard's phone rang. He looked at the number. He wasn't even sure WHY he had kept it on him. But now he was glad he did. He hit the talk button excitedly. "Mikes!..Naw, naw, I'm fine..They can get their own Damn coffee for one day..Listen, Mikey, there's someone I want you to meet..Yeah I remember about tonight, your early birthday I know, wull could I maybe bring Franky along..? Yeah I said Franky." Gerard rolled his eyes and as Franky giggled. "Yeah that's Franky, and yeah Franky IS CUTE." That made Franky blush uncontrollably, and that blush made Gee fall even harder.

Gerard continued sounding almost annoyed at Mike's.
"..Wull were are ya man?" Gerard said looking around as if he'd see his brother any second. "Come have a slice with us now.." Gerard frowned. "Wull, okay but TRY.. But I Know you have off today so you Could make it down here if you really wanted to,,You could say Hi, meet Franky, and be ON your WAY.. you wouldn't have to spend ALL day with US ya know." Gerard was trying to tell Mikes if he Did find them Gee still wanted to have PLENTY of alone time with Franky.

"Yeah wull I know your route, maybe we'll cross paths..Yeah, I hope so..Wull IF I come I'm bringing Franky...Kay, Bye." "Your Brother?" "Yeah his birthday's Monday and we wanted to celebrate early..Tonight one of his favorite clubs is having an "80's nite." I was wondering how you'd feel about hanging out with us?..It's was just gonna be us and a few of his friends from school. I'm the weird older brother..Ya know the one they invite outta pity..I'm STILL living at home..I don't go out much, ya know the deal right..WULL I'd sure as hell love to walk in with you on my arm..Make their fuckin' jaws drop." He said thinking out loud his smile turning slightly evil.

But then he realised she might feel like an object, and he started to Try to not make her feel like that wasn't the Only reason he wanted her there.
"But..But If you don't wanna I COMPLETELY understand. I just REALLY want Mikes to meet you.. I'm sure Mikes won't mind it if I don't show." Gerard really felt bad that he had wanted to show her off like some trophy, he was worried she'd wanna just walk away. "Look...I-It didn't come out the way I meant..."
"Gerard?"
"Yeah Franky?" his voice shook a bit with worry.
"Relax..It's my turn to be flattered, but can you get me a little more soda?"
Gerard's frown left his face and he hurredly stood up from the bench they had found to sit on while they were eating, over looking the foutain at Rockerfeller Center. "You're not mad?" Franky shook her head no. He broke into a grin.
"Sure! I'll be right back."
Franky sat and sighed happily. "Today really might be the Best Day Ever.."

"It will be for me pretty lady IF you'll tell me your name."

Franky looked to her left. There at the end of the bench was a youngish guy, maybe twenty or so. He had on a JOY DIVISION T-shirt and black skinnies. His hair was shaggy lightbrown, almost into a dirty blond. He smiled down at her, with a huge toothy grin. His eyes bright through white rimmed glasses. Over his shoulder was slung a tattered Messenger bag and around on wrist was a leather strip that MIGHT have been an over sized watch band.
"You mind me sitting here for a minute? I'm looking for someone."
"Well I'm someone, but, I don't talk to strangers." she said with a twinkle in her eyes.
"Wull, Maybe if I sit here for a few we won't feel so much like strangers?"
"Well.. Okay but I warn you, I am here with someone, he's bringing me back my soda any second now."
"Course he is...I'm ACTUALLY looking for some one. My brother is apparently ready to come "OUT"..I always KINDA suspected..But now he seems REALLY hot to introduce me to his new...Boy friend..Don't get me wrong I LOVE my brother and there's nothing wrong with being gay, but it's just kinda..." The poor guy looked like he was at a loss for words so Franky decided to take pity on him and help him out.
"Weird?"
"Ya..You know I'll love him no matter what he IS my bro..But..It's still...hard to get used to."
"Maybe he's not Gay..maybe he's Bi, or this other guy is just, ..maybe there's just a REALLY strong connection your brother can't deny. That's what happened with me..."
"Wait you're a lesibian? I mean it's REALLY none of my business if you are, but.." Mikes couldn't conceal his curiousity. "Bi, I'm Bi. At least I thought I was...Maybe it WAS just a phase...And it's a VERY long complicated story. But as of this moment I am VERY attracted to a guy..A VERY PRETTY guy, but a guy none-the-less."
"Sorry I didn't mean to pry.."
"No, no it's okay. I am REALLY okay with saying it out loud..I came to NYC for someone, and maybe it's not why I was suppossed to. But I am VERY glad I was here in the right place at the right time today..Do you beleive in love at first sight?"
"Until today I'da said no...ahh, I'm sorry are we past the strangers phase?"
"Wull I still don't know your name.." she said with a gentle smile that made Mikes' heart flip-flop inside his chest.
"Oh Damn! Right sorry.." He went to wipe his sweaty palms on his pants before offering her his hand.
"My name is -"
"Mikes! I see you met Franky!" Gee said sounding happier than a clam.
"YOU'RE Franky?!? This WAS the Best Day Ever.."

I remember this one. I always liked it.

Your lack of codeing has thrown me off though. lol

"Mikes! I see you met Franky!" Gee said sounding happier than a clam.
"YOU'RE Franky?!? This WAS the Best Day Ever.."

Franky looked from one guy to the other..She thought maybe there was SOME resemblance..She couldn't be sure with the younger one wearing the glasses.
"This is Michael..My LITTTLE bro...This Is who I TOLD you about on the phone Mikes..This is FRANKY.." Gee said sounding prouder than a peacock.."She helped me cut today after I helped her..She's been in NYC, what..?" He tilted his head and crinkled his nose at her, "How long DID you say it was?"

"A little while.." Gee could see her embarrassment that she had not stood up for herself, and demanded this Jesse treat her better, so he glossed over it.

"WULL..anyWAY..How long doesn't REALLY matter. What DOES matter is that she's seen next to nuthin' of NYC..I am giving her the whirl-wind tour."
"Really? So..What have you seen?" Mikes wasn't quite ready to give up..Gee wasn't good with new people usually, Mikes Was.

Mikes wasn't SURE he was ready to let his Big Brother off the hook just yet..IF she had Gee this... animated and they had only met today...He REALLY wanted to get to know her better.

Besides...Mikes had visions in his head of Him and Franky and one of her Girlfriends...He'd LOVE to show Franky His TOWER...

"Mikes..." Gerard stood there snapping his fingers in-front of Mikes eyes.."You there Bro?"
Mikes shook his head, and slapped his brother's hand away. "..Ah..Yeah..yeah I'm...I'm here...I'm sorry Franky I was kinda..Lost for a min..Listen If you want I could stick around and Help Rardy here show you the sights..You have a two-fer.."He added a lusty twinkle in his eye. Gee was about to rip him a new one for saying something like that to her, when he heard Franky's reply.

She arched one eyebrow. "Thanks Mikes...But I I think I wanna avoid the your's and your BROTHER's Twin Towers at least for the moment."

"You said for the moment..Maybe Later tonight you could let me unwrap what I want most for my birthday..." he said a sly grin lighting his face.

Franky couldn't help but smile..When He got that twinkle in his eyes, she could see his brother in him. She brushed her hair out of her eyes and and tried to swallow a smile. "Wull...MAYbe...But your Brother saw me first..He gets first shot Mikes..Sorry."

Gerard smirked as Mikes was shot down. He tried to look innocent. "So sorry Bro..she said no.." He said and clicked his tongue. He LIKED having won this Battle, and without even trying really..

"She SAID ,not NOOWW..." Mikes stopped and winked at the girl who was obviously crazy about his older brother..and Even though Mikes wished he'd seen her first he was happy his Bro was getting a little much needed attention.
"See you tonight Franky? It's an all 80's night and we celebrating my birthday..? I really LOVE for you to..Come.." Mikes couldn't help but get that last jab in at his Lucky SOB of a brother.

Franky couldn't help but smile.
"Let's see how much 'Rardy' Shows me and how much I've worn him out first..Then we'll see."

She had chosen those words carefully and they had the desired affect on BOTH of the boys.

Gerard's jaw dropped and a light came into his eyes, as Mikes frowned both the way boys had the same thought but with VERY different meanings..

'She!..She's NOT serious ..Is she?'

Franky looked at Gerard and took his hand, as as took the soda from his other hand..The poor boy was stunned, almost speechless. "Come on tour guide..you promised to show me everything that was important..Today."

"uhh..Yeah..Yeah I DID!! And it's ALOT to show you.." He managed to recover and even tried to be a bit ..flirty..More like Mikes.

"Oh Geez..See ya tonight! Don't break 'em Franky!"

Franky turned to Look at Gerard he was looking at her with a glow in his eyes. When he realised she was looking right at him he dropped his eyes to his shoes.
"Mikes..Mikes is the out going one..He's the one with friends and such. He could show you a REAL good time..Clubs and shows and stuff..If this thing with Jesse, doesn't work out you should call him."

"Why aren't you gonna give me your REAL number? Or maybe Not return my calls?" They ONLY reason I'd want Mikes number is to ask him how I to get a hold of you."

He looked at her but didn't move his chin from his chest. "Really?" Gerard wasn't used to being first choice..He was WAY more used to ..Why can't you be MORE like Michael?'

"Yeah Really..Even IF he'd seen me first..I feel something with you..I..I dunno it's..It's hard to explain..I like Mikes, I do..But it's...He's NOT you."

She took a step closer and for the first time that day..She Kissed him first..Gerard's arms wrapped around her with out him even thinking of doing it..He desperately wanted to be first..At least this once..With her.

She pulled back just a bit, and whispered happily, almost touching his lips.
"Come on..show me your city, before I show you my apartment."

She took a step closer and for the first time that day..She Kissed him first..Gerard's arms wrapped around her with out him even thinking of doing it..He desperately wanted to be first in someones eyes..At least this once..With her.

She pulled back just a bit, and whispered happily, almost touching his lips.
"Come on..show me your city, before I show you my apartment."

The poor boys eyes widened in shock and eager antisicpation, and just a tiny bit of embaressment. Franky was standing SOCLOSE he was SURE she could feel his forming boner.

She grinned broadly, as she saw him blush and try to step back. "No No! I am Flattered VERY flattered Mr. I thought I was the only one interested."

Gerard's jaw dropped.
"Are you fuckin' kidding me? Uh.. Sorry..I should learn to watch my-" She threw herself against him and her lips captured his, her tongue invading his mouth, and then pulling back inviting his into her.
His eyes stayed open widening for just a moment more and then she rubbed her body against his. Gerard's eyes slowly closed as though he'd been given a shot to calm his nerves. His tongue was gentle incase he had read her signals wrong. She sucked at it gently before letting him explore her mouth further, his tongue in her mouth felt velvet to her. It sent shivers down her spine. Franky wanted him more than she had ever wanted any boy..maybe even more than she wanted ANYONE..

She very obviously wanted to turn him on.

She hadn't failed in her quest.

Slowly the kiss ended. He swallowed hard as she pulled back, his eyes still closed as he licked his lips.
"Fr-Franky? I..I.."
"What?! Please tell me I wasn't too pushy?"
"What?!! NO!! No no no no no! It's not that at all! I..Just..I LIKE you I Really like you is all..I just don't want you to regret kissing me if this... Jesse wants you back."
"IF I live to be a hundred, or a thousand..I won't regret that kiss! I will remember it till the day I die..That is Unless you didn't like it?" "No WAY! That kiss was amazing!..The Kind you never forget.." He smiled gently at her, brushing the hair that the wind was blowing back off of her face. He kissed the tip of her nose. She was happy, the joy and dare he think it Love, or the beginnings of it, shining in her eyes. It gave him a confidence he didn't think he had.

"Do you know how beautiful you are when I see you smiling at me that way? I Wanna see that smile every damn day. That Jesse person wants you back, tough shit!" he lowered his head and kissed her breifly, he murmured as he lifted his head,
"Imma not make it easy for you to JUST walk away and back to Jesse's arms."

'Damn' he thought 'But don't I sound like Mikes? Where is all this..charm coming from? Is this REALLY me talking?'

Franky's smile turned into somewhat of a smirk.
"Who said I'd WANNA walk back? I like this..Edge..to you..I Like it a Hell of alot..And as far as your..langueage..It's kinda..sexy..No Not Kinda..It IS sexy!"


The edge slipped a bit and his voice squeaked just a tad. "Really?" She nodded quickly looking a bit like a bobblehead.
"Then..A-ask me again if I didn't like that kiss."

She inhaled quickly once and tried to play along, trying to not smile..
"Did you.. Not like my kiss?"

"Are you Fuckin' kiddin' me? No way! NO FUCKIN' WAY!! That KISS was FUCKIN' AMAZIN'!.." he stopped and looked at her, his head tilted to the side.
"Too Much?" "Just a tad..But don't worry..I'll help you work on it. Come on you got some city to show me before you see my.." She did her best Vampire accent, "Sanctuary..."

"ooOOooH a Lady Vampire! I LIKE that..I REALLY like it." He pretended to be afraid. "Oh!! PLEASE don't bite me....Too hard.."

Gerard wished this day would never end. He lead her through the city, hoping against hope she meant what she said about her apartment. As they wandered through the city, shopping and laughing, enjoying the day, they giggled like kids.
Gerard found himself holding her hand, it fluttered occasionally in his. His thoughts were running a mile a minute..and they were all about Franky.

All he could think was...'We could be falling in love..some times it happens that way ... I never thought I'd enjoy some thing so small, so innocent, SO Much..we're holding hands..Life, seems.. perfect.'

Chapter 6

Gerard had the BEST day he'd had for a LONG Long time. Franky not only wanted to see the usual landmarks she wanted to see somethings in the city he'd never have expected her too.

She EVEN wanted to See Comic books stores, and Collectables places....And not just ANY comic book store..Noo-oh! She even knew them by name. "I wanna got to Forbidden Planet..The BIG one..AND Jim Hanley's Universe ..AND Toy Tokyo!!"

He laughed admiringly and took her to all of those stops. At each of the places, they seemed to know him. She bought a few things in each place. They even saw Mikes again as he and another boy with wild hair, were chatting up a pretty asian girl in the toy store. Mikes tried to waive them over, and Gerard pulled Franky out of the store almost immeadately. Gerard wasn't stupid..He wasn't taking ANY chances with Franky and Mikes, hitting it off even more.

"Damn you ARE a find aren't you?..Mikes' perfect girl!"
Franky started to whine just the tiniest bit.
"But..I don't wanna be Mikes' perfect girl I wanna... be...."
"Mine?" he said with undisguised hope in his eyes and his voice.
"Yeah."She said almost as a matter of factly. "Yeah I do.." She said as she leaned up to just barely brush her lips against his. Franky looked at the angle of the shadows, she guessed it was about 3 or 4 in the afternoon. IF she wanted to take him back to her apartment she'd better do it soon. Jesse would be rolling in about 730 or 8 to change for the next 'night out' and seeing Jesse was the LAST thing Franky wanted to do right now.
"Hey.." she said in a husky whisper, she was nervous that now, when she REALLY meant it, he'd turn her down. What if all day long he had just been pretending, like they said they first would? What if things had changed for her and not for him?
"You..? You wanna..come see where I live? You wanna take the ferry with me again?" He sucked his bottom lip in over his teeth, now it was time to put up or shut up. And again Gerard wasn't stupid. He WANTED to go back with her, EVEN if ALL he did do was see her apartment.
"Yeah..yeah I really want to..atleast twice more..Now and tomorrow morning." he said and saw a sexy smile light up her face. "..Damn!" she said beeming at him. "Yeah I know.. that even surprised me..Youre..you're not offended ..are you?"
"Only if you don't stay.." Franky realised she had passed the point of no return.

They walked quietly to the ferry, and boarded..As they rode in silence Gerard wrapped his arms around her, his chin on her shoulder. He was nervous but happy, he WAS falling for her, there was no Question in his mind that he was.

Franky's mood however, started to turn dark. She was grateful her back was to his front. That kept him from seeing the doubt in her eyes..It wasn't that she didn't want him, or want to take him back there..She DID..She was worried though about Jesse..What if Jesse changed her routine?..What if she was already there?..Maybe packing her things..How could Franky explain that?

Explain HER to Gerard?

(Lucky?) Chapter 7


Franky was worried though about Jesse..What if Jesse changed her routine?..What if she was already there?..Maybe packing her things..How could Franky explain that?

Explain HER to Gerard?

He felt her tense up in his arms..Something was bothering her, and Gerard was afraid he knew what it was...
"What's wrong?" he whispered to her. "A little while ago, you..no WE were happy and laughing and I thought we had the beginnings of.. something..Now you won't even look at me..Did you change your mind Franky?" he slid his hands to her waist and turned her to face him.
"Is it Jesse? Or...are you having second thoughts..About..
being with me?"
"OH HELL NO! No I WANT you..But I AM worried..I..live with Jesse..I don't want a run in..It should be okay though as long as we don't stay All evening..But..I HONESTLY don't know what I am going to do about tonight..No matter what..If Jesse's there I don't wanna spend the night in that apartment..Whether you decide to go home or not..Which..I'm hoping you won't. I am HOPING you'll wanna..stay...with me."
Gerard's eyes which had been FULL of worry now twinkled. "We'll figure something out..Hell maybe we can crash at Mike's..That is unless you wanna be alone with me."

She KNEW he was teasing her, so she teased right back..
"Wulll" she said mimicing his jersey accent again,
"I dunno..dat WAS sorta de Idear..Buuudt, Now dat yous mention it..Mikes did say sometin' bout Yous and hes showin' me Da twin Towers..." She rubbed her body against his..
"Are dey REALLY twins or Is one Bigger den de udder?"

He pulled her closer to him there bodies below the belt pressed against one another, even as he leaned back to look in her eyes."Enough with the bad Soprano's accent I do NOT sound like a mug..My mama raised good Boys, kept us indoors and outta trouble..Seriously, that guy that was with Mikes today, his name is Ray. I kinda sorta know him through my art school, anyway,..He grew up not far from where we did and they were ALWAYS finding "Bodies" in the "park" near him. We didn't have much time to just be normal kids ya know?"

"Well beleive me there's NUTHIN special about being NORMAL..or average..Hell I don't ever wanna be considered normal again..My dad and Jesse's to they each wanted Jesse and I to be perfect and normal..There's NUTHING great about it belieive you me.. I would rather be Abnormal or weird anyday! Hell if you ask my dad, he might even say sick.."
"No wonder you left home.., you..you think your Dad would like me?..Atleast better than Jesse?"
"Oh he'd like you WAAAY better than Jesse..yeah compared to Jesse especailly, He'd LOVE you. Even if you are prettier than me. Come to think of it your hairs longer too. And you got NICE cheek bones." he tried to go along with her, he THOUGHT she was making fun of him. "And I am Hotter than you too." he said flipping his hair. He was trying to make fun of himself. andhe store a quick glance to make sure she was watching him.

Franky smirked at him "ON second thought..Maybe you're TOO pretty for me.."
"Ha ha, very funny." Gerard returned the smirk.
"No! I AM serious..I bet witha bit of Finessing..You'd have to fight then off witha stick, Both Girls, AND Boys, Female and Male alike...Maybe if you're feeling enough like a naughty boy, I'll help show you your..potential.."
Gerard blushed, "If you say so.." Franky thought he was even MORE adorable with that strawberry mark deepening as he squirmed under her attentive stare. "You know what..That sounds even more and more to me like a plan..I wouldn't mind if you were the pretty one..I could deal.."
Gerard couldn't help but becoming turned on..The thought of being ENTIRELY alone with her, and makeup being involved was getting to him. "So..do I have to let you play makeover before or after we..Are togther?"
"I told you Gerard..I LIKE it when you have a filthy little mouth.."
"Sorry then..Are you gonna pretty me up before or after we fuck?"
"Yeah..." Franky said breathily, she too was getting hot..
"What'dya mean yeah?" Geard was hoping she mean MORE than once tonight.

"Yeah, as in BOTH!..As in you fuck me, I paint you, I fuck you..It's simple really."
Gerard's cock sprang to such life there was NO way Franky could NOT notice...

And she didn't dissappoint.

"Damn! I'm glad my loft isn't far..Seems you REALLY want me.." Gerard's eyes were half lidded. "You have NO Idea..No clue how much I want this. Want you." he bent his head and kissed her again, this time pressing her as close to himslf as he could all the while trying NOT to hurt her. His tongue played around her bottom lip, then he gently scuked on it, trying to be as sexy as he coud JUST for her. That kiss made her breathless. She was almost panting when he finally he lifted his head.

"Me..Me too, but I WANT..I want to go out tonight and have fun with you too..I think IF we are gonna go out and make those friends of your's jaws drop..well I'mma need to change .." She smiled coyly at him.. "You wanna help ?"


"Oh Franky, you GOTTA know I do. But Just one last question about Jesse, and then I'll shut up about it I swear.." He waited for her to protest and when she didn't he took that to mean, she was okay with him asking the question. He waited a bit more, he gave her time to think. He REALLY didn't want to upset her.

The ferry blew it's horn and docked, they walked the short distance to her building and He helped her carry in all the junk they had managed to buy that day. Gerard couldn't wait any longer.
"Can..can I ask you why Jesse didn't take you to do this stupid but FUN stuff?..like we did today?"
He asked as she slid the key into the door, he followed her into a smallish, but not cramped loft..Gerard could already see touches of Franky's taste in toys, mostly female action figures, everywhere..
Franky looked down at herself, she had on this stupid I<3 NY shirt.
"We Did do all sorts of fun touristy things today didn't we?"
"Yeah if you don't mind me saying so..Things this.. Jesse should have done with you when you got here..What happened with that?"

"You want a soda or a beer?" Franky asked. "Either.." he said as he put the bags down. Franky brought him a cold brew. She spoke as she handed it to him. "Well Jesse just, I guess, already had a new life started by the time I got to NYC...it wasn't that Jesse was being mean or heartless
It was always, we'll do it on the weekend...or the one after..."
"Hey!...New York isn't going anywhere...Dane Cook ref.."
Franky nodded, a small smile on her face
"We just didn't get around to it...
First when I got here we were so happy we didn't need to go sight seeing..Then when I started the new job, and our schedules were crazy.."

Gerard nodded. "There wasn't much time? Right?"

Franky took a long drink from the dark brown bottle. "And like I said Jesse had a life established, so it just kept getting push back. It wasn't meant to be thoughtless, or to make me feel slighted, at least I don't think it was.."
"But you STILL felt that way right? It STILL hurt?"
"Well it DID..But not anymore.. Not after today.."

Gerard smiled. "That makes me happy..I don't want you hurting Franky, not by anyone...Even me. ..Okay no more Jesse questions!"

"You won't mention that name again tonight?"

"What name?" He said with a smirk.
Franky grinned. "I am gonna go get comfortable, just gimme a min or two..My bed room is two doors back on the right. You can't miss it."

As Franky went to her bedroom to change, and G started looking around the loft. There were lots of pictures and stuff, mostly of Franky and some girl.
Gerard started muttering to himself.
"Yeah..but, what does HE look like though?"
Gerard suddenly remembered WHY Franky had asked him back here, he figured he'd better make sure he looked as good as he could. he called into the back of the apartment.
"Hey Uhh..Where's the..?"
"The Head? It's the first door on the left." Gerard went to use the bath room and he couldn't help but get nosy.

He looked all around, no GUY stuff anywhere. A few razors but that's it. "Okay... so he's a metro. DAMN! That's worse than I thought..How am I gunna complete with that?" he said out loud to himself.
"I mean Look at me..The hair is too long, but atleast no roots at the moment..I STILL got chubby cheeks, and my teeth..they're almost ..fangs..If don't like what I see in the mirror..How can Franky possibly want me?"

Gerard was getting really upset.
"I know we said just one day but..
maybe it could be more. Mikes likes her.., Maybe a little TOO much..
Maybe things can GO somewhere.."

He shook his head and headed back out to where he'd been brought in. 'Rardy looks around and picks up one of the frames. He figures he needs to calm down and distract himself..He wanted to make things good for Franky, above all else. He yells into her bedroom.
"Hey...Franky? Who's this? Your sister?"
he says as he's tracing a picture of her with his finger, holding up the frame.

"Huh?" Franky called back. "I can't hear you. I mean I can hear you talking but I can't make out the words.. Come in here and ask me again?"

He walked in to find her, still in her bottoms but trying to unhook her own bra..He could help but want her.
"Damn Franky, but you're beautiful..I want you right here. Right now.."
"Yeah wull come and get me.." He advanced to her and put down the frame on a nearby dresser, as he almost got to her. His breath was coming in short bursts, and he could hear the blood in his own veins..He REALLY wanted her. But Franky still wanted to know what G had mumbled.
"What..What did you yell in Gerard? And what'd you just carry in?"
"Nuthin, I was just being nosy..I wanted to know whgo the girl in the picture was, that's all..who is she your sister..?"

Franky went white..
"No..No That's...that's Jesse.."

NO!!!!!!! Don't leave it on a cliffhanger! More, I need more!!!!!!!!!

Poor Franky...maybe he will think its kinky? =(
