Cancer

13. Just Friends

Dear Friend
On the way home we took a drive to the hospital and dropped off the wheelchair. Charlie and Frank nodded at each other, when Charlie saw me walking through the door. "Well done." Charlie told Frankie as we left WALKING away.
When we got home, Frank had a lot of explaining to do for Gerard and Lyn-z. At first, they were mad at Frank for putting me in danger, but then they calmed down their asses and thanked him for getting me to walk by myself again. Luckily, I got Frank to stay at ours for a couple of days. He's actually sitting by my side, looking over my shoulder every now and then. He asked me about you, and I didn't know what, to answer. Not that I don't have anything good to tell about you. I just. Do not know.

"You still writing to your friend?" Frank asks me leaning his head against my stomach. "No, I am finished... now." I say and place the computer on the coffee table in front of us. We're sitting in the living room. We are watching out for Bandit this night. Gerard and Lyn-z are out on a date and then later, they are going to stay in a hotel to tomorrow. Yeah, no wonder what they are going to do later this evening. I make a grimace of the thought. However, I have my man for myself. I hear a girly laughter from the room at the end of the hall. And Bandit, of course. I smile at the little girl who comes into the living room, dumping down beside me. She frowns at Frank lying on my belly, looking up at me. "What are you doing, Uncle Frank?" she asks poking his forehead with a tiny finger. He snuggles further into me. "I'm just cuddling, what are you doing?" he looks at her doll in her right hand. The doll has red bright hair as Gerard's, a white dress and big blank eyes. It's not scary, moreover a cute doll. "This is Tianna." She says and holds up the doll. "She lost her mouth. Now she can't talk." Bandit's face falls to the floor. I smile wry. The doll is plush. "I can make her a new mouth." I smirk looking at Bandit. "Yay! I'll find the needle!" She runs off and comes back with the well-known box. "Which color?" I ask her. Frank gets up and frowns at us, giggling. Bandit thinks for a couple of minutes. "Green!" she exclaims in "aw." I nod and make the doll smile in the color of green. "There you go!" I cut off the loose string. She hugs Tianna into her chest. "Thank you so much Lou!" she runs off with her doll and into her room again.
I turn back to Frank. "You are amazing, you know that, right?" he says kissing my lips. I kiss back. "I know." I joke. I grab him by his neck and kiss him again. He deepens the kiss by putting his tongue in my mouth. Our tongues wrestle and it seems like I'm winning. He moans into my mouth. Ha! Told you! I am winning. I hug him closer into me, not breaking the kiss. I start moaning as well.

"What are you guys doing?" Bandit grins from the door to the living room. We pull away fixing our hair and clothes. "Hum. Nothing." Frank stutters. Bandit smirks at us. "You were kissing. I am 4, not dumb." We look at each other, and blush. "Mom and Dad do it all the time." Bandit frowns disgusted. She pulls out her tongue at the thought of them, I guess. She comes further into the room. I jump down from Frank's lap and sit down next to him.
"I'm hungry!" she complains. Frank and I catches each another's eyes and Frank gets up. "I'll get pizza!" I say and walk out to get Frank's car keys. "Yay!" Both of them exclaim.
I leave the house to Bandit and Frank and drive away to the pizzeria nearby.

"Is Lou your girlfriend?" I hear Bandit ask Frank, as I get home. They sit in Bandit's room and talk. I put the two pizzas on the table and get dishes as well. I listen very close to Frankie's response. "Hum. We're just friends." He says. Of course he tells her that. If Gerard knew, he would cut Frank's head off and serve it for dinner. I walk into her room, standing in the doorframe. Frank looks up at me, but Bandit talks on. She hasn't seen me yet. "Why did you kiss her then?" She frowns. I blush looking away. I wonder how he's going to save this one. I smirk back at him. "Hum. Well." he scratches his neck, not sure what to tell the little girl. "Okay." He starts. "We were having a face-battle." He tells her, raising his arms in defense. She nods understanding. "Okay, then." I wonder if she really knows what a "face-battle" is. I've never heard that one before. Well done, Frankie.
"You guys ready for dinner?" I ask and she shuts her head up at me. "Yeah!" She runs out to the table and sit down in "her" chair at the end. Frank and I sit on each side of her. "Here you go, sweetie." I say, and serve a slice of pizza for Bandit. She eats so fast. She must be starving. I ate two slices. Bandit ate four and Frank ate about eight slices.

"Hold still." I giggle at Bandit as I brush her teeth. She's looking everywhere else but me. "Bandit." I call to get her attention, so it would be easier for me to wiggle the toothbrush around all of her small teeth. She stares wondering at me. Her eyes getting bigger. "How was the face-battle with Uncle Frank?" I grin at her. I pull the toothbrush away from her mouth and let her spit. She washes her mouth and dry it with the towel. I wash the toothbrush and put it back in the stand. I walk back into her room with her, and see Frank for a short moment. He is picking a movie for us to watch. Just me and him. I told him to pick a scary movie. Just to scare him. I don't get afraid of scary movies.
"Well." I lift her into her bed and she puts on her PJ's while I talk. "I won." I wink to her. She smiles. "Really?" she asks lying down. "Totally!" I exclaim and put the duvet over her. She nods approving. I stroke her little cheek, as she yawns. "I'll see you." I poke her nose and she giggles. "Tomorrow. Okay?" I smile to her, and she nods. "Goodnight, Bandit."
"Wait, I need Tianna. I can't sleep without her." she pouts. I nod and start looking for her. I walk into Frank, asking where the doll must be. "Here." He says reaching the doll to me. "But first, face-battle me." He smirks and leans in. I take the doll and turn away. "Later Fishy-Frank." I wink and walk into Bandit again. I hear him groan at the nickname. "Here you go." I put Tianna in Bandits arms and soon she falls asleep. I steal a couple of adoring sights at her. She really do look a lot like her parents.

I walk out and close the door half open into Bandits room. Just so we can hear her, if something happens. I see Frank sitting on the couch, watching the trailers to other films before the scary movie starts. "Now." I lean down and hold his shirt roughly. I pull him over me in the couch and start kissing him roughly. His hand reaches my hair and the other squeezes my hips. He starts moaning into my mouth. I start smirking into his mouth. He stops and pulls away. "What?" he asks out of air. "Give me more, Fishy-Frank." I tease him. He groans, and pulls me up, so I am sitting on him. "Be careful, or else I might punish you." He teases me back. "You won't." I smirk back at him. "Oh yeah?" he grips my hips tight, and a grunt escapes my lips. He looks down at me, reaching my eyes again. I look down at his chest, start fumbling with his sleeves. "You know, if you die of heat, I am not the one to carry out your body." I whisper, mostly to myself, but he starts grinning. "You could just ask me to take off my shirt." I grab the hem of his shirt. "Or you could do it yourself." He shrugs and lets me take off his shirt. I throw it to the ground and sit back in "aw," studying his tattoos. I let my fingers run over his tats. Not that I can feel them, but because of the amazing job somebody has made on Frankie's body. I look at his hands, running my fingers over the Halloween tats as well. Then his arms. Amazing. Suddenly, I remember the girl. The papergirl. Gerard's sketch. I wonder if he's ever going to use her for something. I throw away the thought of her. Everything has their time, maybe Gerard is waiting for something.
"You like tattoos?" Frank asks me, calling me back to reality. I nod my head in response. I have one. I role up my sleeve, wondering if he didn't notice it, when he un-dressed me. He must have had his mind somewhere else. "It's a map." I smile at it and run a finger over it. "For every line, there's an adventure. The cross." I point at it. "Is where my adventure ends." I look at him, holding his hand. "Memories are important." I look down again. "I have to get to a tattoo shop soon. I have some new memories now." Referring to him. He nods in agreement. "But now, I just want to..." I start kissing his chest, going up to his neck. He grunts closing his eyes. I found his sweet spot. "Got ya." I smirk against him. He grabs me by my hips again and pushes me down. Him lying on top of me. He start kissing me on my lips. Roughly. I grab the hem of his jeans and smirk devilishly. "You're so bad." He moans in my ear. "I'm Satan's princess." I bite his lip teasing him. "Wrong." he says pulling my shirt off and throwing it to the ground. "You're MY princess."
