But Does Anyone Notice? II Frank Iero II Ch. 5

Let go of all that we've had. You know we've been down this road before. Pack your bags. Dry your eyes. It's a long walk from my house to three oh nine.

It took Frank few seconds to actually realize what was going on but as soon as he did, he seemed to pull his body closer to mine and kiss me back, harder.
I smiled into the kiss and broke away for a second, wondering what type of reaction I would get from him.
He looked into my eyes with his big hazel ones and I melted. I melted into the couch and onto the floor. Well, not literally melted.
"I'm so....confused." he said, in almost a whisper.
I smiled. "Well, that makes two of us."
He just stared at me before leaning his head in again and kissing me. This time, it was a much slower, sweeter kiss. After what was, in my opinion, not enough time he pulled back from me.
"I thought you didn't like me." he stated before pecking my lips quickly. I smiled and pecked him back.
"I thought you didn't like me." I repeated.
He just laughed and shook his head infront of my face. "If I just said that I loved everything about you, then how could I not like you? That makes no sense, Emma." I blushed and shrugged, suddenly becoming interested with the strange pattern on my couch. I felt Frank's finger pull my head up so I was looking back up at him. "I've told you this once before. I get to see you're beautiful face so little. Don't hide it from me."
I smiled at him and just leaned in and kissed him again, lightly. After I pulled away I still had a question for him. "So, what made you change your mind?"
"Change my mind?" Frank looked puzzeled.
I nodded in conformation. "Yeah, what made you change from...yesterday. You said that we didn't feel the same and that you knew how I felt. So, I was just wondering what changed your mind and made you like me?" That question sounded ten times better in my head. Out loud it just seemed plain stupid.
"I've liked you since the first day I saw you." he said bluntly.
My mouth hung slightly open. Had he really? He must be pulling my leg. "You're joking." I pushed his arm slightly for his teasing.
His shook his head, seriously. "I most certainly am not. You were the one who didn't like me. I was gah-gah for you."
Utter shock. That's all I could call it. Frank had liked me the entire time that I liked him. We were just too blind to see that we had felt the same for eachother.
"I liked you, Frank. I had for a while." I told, feeling that I should set him straight.
"But, you were dating Robby." he interjected.
This time, I shook my head at him. "He asked me out one time, and I just said yes. You know that, I told you guys." I stated. "The only reason I stayed with him was because I thought that by dating him I could get over my feelings for you. It didn't happen and I ended up dumping him because of it."
He smile, that had been on his face for a while now, grew bigger. "You dumped that guy cause you still liked me?" I nodded. "That's sick." I blushed. "I did the same thing with all the other girls that I dated since I became friends with you. I just dated more because I thought the girls were...defective or something."
I laught at him and ran my hand through his hair. He closed his eyes. "So, we both liked eachother, at the same time, but we were too retarded to see it?"
"Mhmm." he mumbled with eyes still closed. My hands were still rubbing through his black hair. I giggled slightly from the way Frank was acting. He seemed so relaxed and comfortable with me. It made me feel happy.
After about five minutes of me just playing with Frank's hair he broke the silence and opened his eyes. "What are you thinking about?" he asked.
"How great this is." I replied, honestly.
Frank smiled and he stared into my eyes with his beautiful hazel ones. "You do know we are like, the ipitome of corny right?"
I laughed and thought about it for a second. Yeah, we pretty much were. Here we were, saying about some of the cheesest things ever to eachother while acting all mushy. It was as corny as anyone could get. "We really are!"
"Well, you know. I think people should seriously just go screw off if they think this kind of thing is stupid. Seriously, I wouldn't want this to go any other way." Frank told me. I agreed.
After a few more minutes of sitting together on the couch, Frank got up. I stared at him confused. "Where are you going?"
"I have to go home, we've just been sitting here together for hours. I promised my mom that we'd go home and eat together." he explained. I nodded, slightly upset that he was leaving.
I walked with him to the door. But, before he opened the door he turned back to me. He quickly walked over to where I was standing and connected his lips with mine. It was a little harder than I had expected so I stumbled back a few steps. Frank's arm, which had been wrapped around my waste, stopped me from falling over completely. He pulled away and smirked at me. I smiled back.
"You know we really shouldn't tell Gerard about this." Frank said. I looked at him confused. He wasn't ashamed of us being together, was he? As if he was reading my thoughts, he continued. "Not, in the way you're thinking, Emma. I just mean, that kid has been trying to push me and you together for months now. I don't want to give him the satisfaction of knowing he actually did it."
I laughed. He was right. Gerard would be so proud of himself that he was able to accomplish something this big that his head would grow three sizes better.
"Yeah, Gerard would never let us forget it."
He nodded and turned to open the door. "I'll walk you over to Gerard's tomorrow, alright?"
I frowned slightly. "I can't walk with you. Collin is coming over and I was going to show him where it was. But, you can come with us if you want." I offered.
He thought about it for a second before awkwardly repling "No, I guess I'll just see you there."
I smiled and nodded. He walked out of the door. "Bye Emma." he whispered.
"Bye Frank."
