Almost like you. Frank Morrison x reader (dbd)

Chapter 27

(Y/n)'s POV

"... And then I draw a picture of a dolphin!" Hope said and I could almost see the stars in her eyes. I giggle as I stir my cup of coffee. "That sounds so much fun! I wish I was little again." Hope quickly shakes her head and takes a sip from her milkshake. "No! I prefer you more as mom than as a friend." I smile at her words but then I feel someone's hand over my shoulder which makes me almost shriek.

I turn around quickly only to see Frank standing there. "Sorry, didn't mean to scare you." He said with that sexy smirk on his face. "No, I'm just little jumpy today! Please take a seat." I could feel my cheeks burn because of his eyes. Was I blushing because of him? Just like some teenage girl? The things that he did to me! "Frank! Please sit next to me!" Hope said as she pointed at the chair between us.

Frank smiles sweetly to her and nods. "Of course but only for a moment! I need to get to my basketball practice later." He says before he takes the seat. Hope gives him a tight hug before she shows him her milkshake. "Do you want to taste this? It's strawberry, banana and vanilla." I could see the pure happiness in Hope's face and it just melted my heart. She was so adorable with this amazing man.

"Sure." Frank takes a little sip from the sugary treat and smiles to her. "Wow, I'm so jealous. You have a good taste." Hope's smile widens even more when he gives her a compliment. "Thank you!" She starts to sip more of her drink as she draws pictures in her draft book. Frank turns to look at me with that smirk on his face. "So how are you doing? I saw you here and I just couldn't ignore you. You're too pretty for that."

I can't help but to blush more at his words. "I need to go meet some of my friends. They need... they need some money." My thoughts go back to that horrible tale that man told me that day. They wouldn't kill me and make Hope grow up without mother like that girl in that story right? They wouldn't be that cruel... "Is everything okay?" Frank looks at me and I could see that the smirk on his face has completely disappeared.

"I umm... It's something to do with Eric. You don't need to worry about that." Frank turns to get something from his backpack. "I want to give you this as a gift from me and my friends. I hope it helps your situation." He says as he gives me an envelope. I tilt my head in confusion as I peak inside only to see that it was packed with money. Where the hell did they get this much money?! I didn't want to take it since it really belonged to them and they had everything to lose in this one.

"Frank... I-I'm honored. I really am but I can't just take your money! You should share it with your friends." I offer it back to him with shaky hand but he declines. "No. We already decided. Do what you wish with it but we're not going to take it back." He says before he stands up. "Is it okay if I come visit you later today?" The look that he gave me... How could I say no to his offer? I needed to get something else to think about during this.

"Sure! I'll call you when I'm ready." I smile at him but then we hear a soft ahem to the other side of the table. We both turn to look at Hope who had an annoyed look on her face. "When WE are ready mommy." She says before she turns her attention back on her drawing. Frank and I both laugh at her words before he turns to look at me again. "When you both are ready. I'll see you two later. Bye." He leans to give my cheek a little kiss before he just walks off.

I blush and lift my hand to my cheek. What was happening to me? "I like him very much." Hope suddenly said which made me turn to look at her. She had a little smile on her face as she continued to draw some sea creature. "Can he move in our house mommy? I promise to be good!" She looks at me with wide eyes which made me feel little sad for her. "Maybe later but I won't promise anything. Pack your things. We need to get going soon."

I finish my coffee and help Hope to gather everything she had with her. "But I think Frank likes you! It would be a good thing!" She says as she takes her milkshake. "We'll talk with him about that." I smile to Hope as I take her hand in mine. "Okay mommy. Are we going to see your friends now?" I gulp the lump in my throat as I nod. "I'm going to see them but you'll stay in the car." Hope nods as she takes another sip from her drink.
