A/N: Hey, just want to apologise for the name blunder at the end of last chapter, which is now fixed, sorry Caitlin. Anyway, let’s hope it doesn’t happen again, enjoy :)
So the task of meeting your father’s friends was officially over and it seemed like I had been accepted into the group, it must have been my amazing music taste…what do you mean it’s old? Anyway, the next task to win him over I was faced with was hanging out with him alone with only the voices in my head to guide me through without scaring him off…or setting him on fire, but luckily I had a few hours with your Aunt Molly to discuss what would be inappropriate to do or say…and to dispose of anything flammable…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Oh my God!” I practically scream, making sure I couldn’t be heard by Gerard “I am going to be with Gerard. Alone. Oh my God, I have been waiting for this since the first time I saw him, finally! But what if I scare him off? What if I say something completely dumb? Or I get nervous and can’t shut up? Or it’s awkward? Oh my God, what if I set him on fire?! What-”
“Caitlin!” Molly shouts, interrupting my rambling “First things first, shut up” I pretend to zip my lips, lock them and throw away the key. Molly rolls her eyes and continues, “Secondly, you won’t scare him off because if you were capable of that, I’m sure it would have happened by now. Thirdly, conversation will be fine, you always seem to have things to say to each other and last of all, I’m pretty sure you won’t set him on fire… because there are no Bunsen burners about” She adds quietly, smirking
“THAT WAS ONE TIME, AND IT WAS AN ACCIDENT! How was I supposed to know that gas tap was on?” I shout, glaring at her while she laughs
“Dude, I was only kidding, I found it hilarious, it’s just a shame the teachers didn’t” She says shrugging “Anyway, you’ll be fine, trust me”
“Yeah, I guess so” I answer, calming down a bit “Anyway, I saw you hugging Frank, what was that about?” I ask. Molly blushes a little
“Nothing, I hug everyone” She says matter-of-factly
“Oh come on, you only just met him” I say, poking her
“Ok, ok. Maybe I like him a little, sue me,” She says, holding her hands up
“All I wanted was the truth,” I say smirking “You should go out with him” I add
“Caitlin! No, don’t put ideas in my head, bad person” says, slapping my shoulder
“What? What is wrong with going out with him?” I question
“I don’t know, he seems to like Penina more that way anyway” She says looking down but she just looks back up and shrugs “Oh well. Anyway, stop avoiding the situation, you are going out with Gerard tonight, so I say we make some ground rules”
“But rules make it boring” I whine
“But without rules, you will, as you say, ‘scare him off’” She says, adding air quotes in and doing a high pitched impression of me
“How many times do I have to tell you, I don’t sound like that” She just shrugs “But I guess you’re right, ok what have you got?”
“Number one, no matter how nervous you are, don’t start rambling about random things. Number two, be yourself” I smirk at her cheesiness “Oh yeah, laugh it up but it is important” She says, grabbing my shoulders and shaking me
“Okay, okay! I’m sorry,” I say, putting my hands up like I am surrendering
“Apology accepted. Last but not least, don’t laugh at everything he says, you’ll look like a dimwit”
“But what if it’s funny?” I ask confused
“Well, that’s obviously acceptable! God, is anyone in there?” She says, knocking on my forehead lightly
“There must be, I always hear voices guiding me” I answer matter-of-factly. Molly just looks at me like I have gone crazy
“What? Did you just say you hear voices in your head?” She says, continuing to stare at me
“Yeah, to be honest they deserve recognition, they’re the only reason I answer Gerard sometimes” I say. Molly just stares at me for a while, seemingly to try and process what I just said
“You strange person” She whispers, shaking her head “Oh well, that’s why I love you” She continues, ruffling my hair. I sigh and sort my hair out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When we eventually got home, the abuse from your Aunt Molly finally stopped when she became my “fairy Gok mother” and insisted on telling me numerous times that I looked “gorgeous girlfriend” and that I had “fabulous bangers”…What do you mean you are mentally scarred? Just listen to the story, I didn’t ask for your input young lady. Anyway, after I finally got dressed, Molly insisted on making coffee so we sat in the kitchen and the nerves started to set in…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Dude, stop shaking your leg” Molly shouts over from the counter
“I’m sorry, I can’t! I’m so nervous, what if I say something so catastrophically embarrassing that he gets scared and runs away? What if I say something insulting and he gets mad and leaves me? What if-”
“Caitlin! Stop rambling, you will be fine” She says, walking over and setting the mugs in front of us before frowning “Maybe caffeine isn’t such a good idea right now” She drags the mug away from me but I stop her and drag it back towards me and shake my head when she tries to drag it back away.
“How do you know?” I say doubtfully
“Because caffeine makes you hyper and right now you are shaking your leg so fast it could power a light bulb” She answers with wide eyes
“I meant how do you know I’ll be fine dumbass” I say rolling my eyes. Molly pretends to wipe a tear from her eye
“That was hurtful,” She says, clutching her chest “Anyway, I know you’ll be fine because, believe it or not, I trust you not to screw this up because you’ve done so much freaking out today, I’d imagine you couldn’t do much more”
“Wow, that was almost kind” I say smiling, I put my hand on her shoulder “I’m so proud”
“Yeah, don’t get used to it” She says, smirking and looking at the clock. She looks back, finishes her coffee and stands up “Right, you have 10 minutes before Gerard gets here so I'm gonna go, remember everything I said and listen to those voices in your head and you will be fine” She nods before heading out the door
“Wait no don’t-” She slams the door and walks down the drive “go” I finish, sighing. I stand up and put the mugs by the sink. I walk into the living room and look into the full-length mirror. I re-plait my hair and check my eyeliner hasn’t smudged too much during the day. I step back and check the rest, carefully untucking my lace cardigan from where it was trapped in my skinny jeans. I walk away just in time to hear the doorbell go off.
“Shit” I mumble. He’s here. Oh my God.
A/N: Hope you liked it, by the way, if you didn’t understand the “fairy Gok mother” bit, look up Gok Wan and you’ll know, unless you already know who he is then it’s chill. Also, I’m not sure what phrases you use in America but just in case “bangers” means boobs (Y)
Thanks, please R&R for rainbow cookies that may or may not be out of date by the time they arrive to you
