Fronnie: Passion and Flame

Chapter 17: The Rain pt. 1

Bonnie POV:

After many attempts of trying to explain what exactly happened in the woods, a few days later everything was calm again.

Fred and I haven't talked since the woods but I wonder if he wanted to. I was doing my eyeliner in the vanity when he walked into our room. Finally I could talk to him in private:

"Hey Fred, do you remember what we did in the woods?"

" Well we talked for a bit, do you mean that?" Fred began to change his clothes. His back had a brown bear tattoo, walking alone. How have I never seen that before?

"No the thing after that?" I felt a sudden sense of pain. Not physically but emotionally.

"I only remember talking then it all goes black from there. Was there something after?" The brown bear seemed to hold a very important meaning since all his clothes are a shade of brown. A family symbol maybe?

"N-no I just wanted to see if you remember how we got here.." I lied, I was hoping he remembered our kiss. I looked towards him and all I felt was a kind of lustful desire. His lips were like a sunset glow, his smile like thousands of shimmering stars glittering the night sky. His body though shorter than mine was perfect. Even his mysterious tattoo was perfect to me.

"Oh well, I can't help you there. Spring said he's hosting some sort of game night?" Fred said as he found a light brown T-shirt with the symbols of music notes strung on it. He carefully slid the shirt over his head, making sure not to mess up his blonde hair; Fred's deep chocolate hair seemed to take over his scalp.

"Ughhh he just wants an excuse to play DND. He's such a fucking need."

"Hey I like DND too, Bonnie!" Fred retorted.

"You're a nerd too then!" We both laughed and this was the first time I noticed how cute his face is when he laughs! His eyes close and his mouth opens to a smile and he lets out the cutest little laugh. I couldn't help but feel a fire burning in my lower stomach.

He looked at his hair in the mirror and started to play with it trying to get it to go the way he wanted it to.

"I guess I am a huge nerd but at least I have fun," Fred continued tossing his hair around until he sighed in defeat.

"You know, Claire is a hair stylist. Maybe she could help you with your roots!" Fred's head suddenly perked up and his eyes lit up with a new profound joy.

"Can we go see her right now?" Fred asked as his hair stuck straight up, similar to a cow lick.

Fred/Freddy POV:

Bonnie introduced me to Claire, one of my coworkers I had yet to meet, and we talked for a little bit. She sat me down in a chair and began to snip away at strands of my hair. As singular hairs fell from my scalp, we made small talk.

"So why did you become a frightener?" Claire asked as he continued trimming the sides of my hair.

"I really needed some money and really a distraction from my reality." I wasn't totally lying but I couldn't let her know too much.

"I became one so I could work with my besties! Ben and Tyler! You must meet them sometime! Ben is a wiz at makeup and Tyler has killer style! The three of us could turn someone from drab and crapulous to chic and fabulous!!" She laughed and continued cutting my hair. They were the cosmetics crew for Spring's Frighteners.

She tenderly held my hair in her hand and in all honesty I think I liked her. She was not only attractive but she was smart and kind! She cares deeply for those close to her and she took time out of her day to deal with the tragedy that is my hair!
