Spit it out

"I'll drive you home." Frank says as he collects his things from the club. He called a handyman only minutes ago. The door should be fixed in no time.

"I can walk. You've been driving me home all the time, I feel like I should be paying you. You're like my own personal uber." I say with a smile.

"Don't worry about it. Come on." Frank led me to his car.

"We should... Talk." Frank mutters as he starts the car.

"About?" I question.

"Us. I just want to say that today really opened my eyes... God, that sounds so cheesy. But, I realised that... I could have lost you today-" I could sense Frank was having some weird out of body experience. Of course, I get it, it's hard to see someone you know nearly get attacked. But, I'm alive! I'm here, I'm breathing, I have a heartbeat, my arms can move, I'm still a living person.

"Frank." I interupt him, "I didn't die. I'm alive. It's all fine. What's your point?" I ask.

"Well, I was planning to take my sweet time with you. I was gonna ignore all the labels that we could have put on this... Relationship, we have. I was eventually going to ask you this, I just didn't realise it was going to be this soon." Frank pauses.

"Frank, spit it out. I don't know what you're getting at." I know exactly what he's getting at. I'm just scared as shit to say anything.

I would love to be in an official relationship with Frank. But, I've never been in a relationship. Not even a fake relationship you tell your parents about so you seem cooler than you actually are.

Frank pulled into his driveway before he started talking.

"I was wondering," Frank took his keys out of the ignition, "If you wanted to make this official?" Frank says with a hopeful grin.

I would be stupid if I said no. So, I frantically nodded my head.

That's enough of an answer for him to give me a quick kiss on the cheek. His smile looked like it could split him in half.

"Did I do fine? I've never asked someone to be my boyfriend before." Frank says.

"You did perfect." I say with a small laugh.
