Guitar Strings and Rattles 8

Gerard tugged at his hoodie, which was riding up with every little movement, as he stood in the middle of the crowded airport. He could remember when this hoodie was actually baggy on him, but sadly, that was no longer the case. His stomach was growing a lot faster than it had with Bandit and he had to put on two shirts and a hoodie just to cover it up. He didn't like all the extra bulk. He didn't look pregnant, just really fat and it kind of stressed him out. He glanced over at Bandit, who was passed out cold in the chair next to Bob and smiled. Ray was staring at Frank, a hint of amusement on his face, because Frank was pretty much pacing like a crazy person. Mikey was too busy alternating between talking to Alicia and staring at his phone to even notice any of the other people around him.

Frank looked at his watch again for the millionth time before letting out another exaggerated sigh. "Where is she? We said be here by noon and it is now 1:40! Our plane leaves in like an hour! Jamia is never late." Frank exclaimed with his usual flailing hand motions going along. Gerard rolled his eyes and grabbed Frank's hands to calm them.

"She will be here, she probably just got stuck in traffic." Gerard reassured. Frank let his shoulders fall in mild relief and nodded.

"You're right." Frank said before looking back out to the crowd of people walking around them. Bob stood up and patted him on the back.

"Of course his is right, he's always right." Bob joked. Frank chuckled and shook his head. He stood up on his tippy toes to try and see around the people, which was stupid because Jamia was even shorter than he was. Soon enough they saw a familiar a flash of blonde hair in the crowd and Jamia came rushing waving her free arm around as if flagging them down.

"I'm here! I'm sorry!" she said out of breath as she came to a stop ten feet in front of them. She set down her rolling luggage and took a moment to catch her breath. Gerard raised an eyebrow.

"You're only bringing one bag? We are going to Europe. You are gonna need more than that." He said with an amused tone. Jamia quickly shook her head.

"No, Lyn has the others." Jamia said, finally able to take even breathes.

"Lyn?" Frank asked. This is the first he was hearing about a mystery woman named Lyn. Jamia nodded her head towards the entrance of the airport and soon they all heard the click of heels. Soon a pretty familiar red-lipped face emerged from the crowd, holding three more bags. Jamia's face lit up as Lyn-z walked up to the group. Mikey looked up from his sidekick and let out a quiet 'shit' before turning back quickly to his wife.

"Hey guys, nice to see you again." Lyn-z said with a bright smile. "Just thought I would help Jamia with her bags, seeing as she is such a weakling." She said before bumping her hip with Jamia's. Jamia pouted and gave her a playful shove before Lyn-z laughed and pulled Jamia into a kiss. Frank's jaw dropped.

"Hold up. When did this happen?" he asked, motioning between the two girls. Jamia blushed and shrugged.

"After the whole Projekt Rev mess, I went to talk to Lyn-z, explaining how Gerard was just an idiot who often talked without actually explaining himself and we ended up trading numbers. We found out we had a ton in common and ended up going on a few dates." Jamia said in jumbled sort of way.

"And eventually I seduced her into my bed." Lyn-z finished with a wicked smile. Ray let out a surprised laugh and Gerard got a slightly horrified look. That sort of put some images in his head he didn't really didn't need. Frank got a thoughtful look on his face before breaking out into a full blown grin.

"Well congrats! I should be pissed at you for not telling me sooner!" He said cheerfully. The others turned and stared at him for a moment, not fully expecting that response, before breaking out in their own congratulations.

"I have to get going and you all have a plane to catch." Lyn-z handed the bags she was still clutching over to Jamia with a smirk. "Call me when you touch down in Europe." She said before placing a small peck on Jamia's lips. Jamia blush and nodded quickly, a grin slowly creeping onto her face. Lyn-z turned and extended her hand to Frank. "It was nice seeing you guys again, under way better circumstances." She said with a slightly nervous tone. Frank shook her hand firmly and nodded.

"It was nice seeing you too. Don't worry, I have no hard feelings over the whole thing. As long as you treat Jamia right, you are fine in my book." He said before letting go of her hand and giving a not-so-effective threatening look. Lyn-z just laughed and held up her hands in defense.

"Don't worry. She is in very capable hands." Lyn-z wiggled her eyebrows suggestively at Jamia which just caused Gerard to get the horrified look on his face because once again the very unwanted images were swarming his mind. Lyn-z laughed loudly and shook her head before turning and making her way towards the front of the airport.
