Chapter 5- Oh Frank

"So Frank, tell us a bit about yourself" Mum asked dishing out the salad onto our plates, he sat next to me, the smile never leaving his face. I didn't like how my mum set this out, the poor boy just helped her and now is staying for dinner, worse of all his getting questioned by her!

"Well, what would you like to know?" He shot her a cheeky smile making her smile back. I may as well left the room.

"Do you go to Phoebe's school?" She asked taking a bite, Iv'e never seen him round my school before. To think of it, Iv'e never seen him my whole life apart from when I bumped into him a few day ago.

"Oh no, I'm a year older than her, I have my own business actually" He smiled and I gulped down some lettuce, business? At his age? It's hard to get a job let alone a business!

"What business?" I blurted out and his eyes met mine quickly.

"Well, I own a restaurant thanks to my dad, his very successful...Bad past though. If you don't mind me saying that we don't talk about him further please. I'll answer anything else" It sounded like a sad topic yet he wouldn't stop smiling, why did he always smile!? It was kind of frustrating, his voice was steady and even when something happened with him and his father, even when he was opening up a little bit he still smiled. I would've at least had a wobbly voice.

"Oh yes Frank, I respect your privacy, I'm just glad you said so" Mum nodded sympathetically putting a hand on his. I bet he feels worse now she's done that. "You're qutie successful yourself then, how old are you? 17? 18?"

"18" He smiled and looked at me...Again, "I believe Phoebe is what...16?" I nodded "Well if you ever need a job, I'm here" He winked making me blush a little, I didn't like it when people winked at me, it made me feel so weird.

"Uh, thanks" I muttered picking at my food, I knew mum was going to say something soon, Round about now actually.

"Oh Frank you're such a kind man, I wish Phoebe would bring people like you home. It'd be so much easier" she sighed and I shot her a glare.

"Mum!" I whined feeling embarrassed, now I know she thinks my friends are rude. I've never brought home a boyfriend, that's because Iv'e never had one!

"Oh it's okay Phoebe, I'm sure you and Frank will be great friends and get on well! Well I hope so. I'd love to see you more Frank" She smiled and picked up her plate walking to the sink, I dropped my fork onto the plate and covered my face with my hands. Great, now she wants me and Frank to be in a relationship, may I add we've only just met?

"Don't worry" He whispered leaning closer "My mums the same" He smirked and I rolled my eyes. "Watch this" He quickly added before grabbing mine and his plate then walking to mum. "I'll help with the washing up" He gently pushed her to the side and started washing up?

"Oh Frank you don't need to do that!" How many times has she said his name? "You're a guest in this house, please go with Phoebe to the living room or her bedroom" She smiled and he quickly stopped. "Just, don't go too fast" She smiled at me and my jaw dropped. Oh now she thinks we're dating!? What the hell mum!

"Well Phoebe, what do you say?" He turned to face me and I sighed.

"Uh, my room. There's films in there and some comics you might like" I mumbled walking and soon he walked next to me. A boy in my room? Scrap that, my mum allowing a boy in my room? Now this is something! I walked into my room, Frank following close behind and sat on the bed.

"Nice room" He smiled walking around touching random stuff, stuff like photographs of me and my friends. "Iv'e seen these before" He chuckled, what was so funny about that? "You know, I think we have more in common then you think" He turned and faced me.

"Random" I chuckled nervously and he walked closer.He sat on my bed and went to put his hand on mine, but it was like there was something on my hand, something not allowing him to touch it.

"You haven't let me in yet" He whispered quietly and I stared at him confused, "You will one day" He smiled.

"You sound confident, maybe I won't" I smirked and for once, his smile dropped.

"Oh...You will" He growled making my heart race. Sudden mood change?

"I think you better go" I whispered looking down.

"I'm sorry Phoebe...I didn't mean to upset you" He whispered and I shook my head.

"I'll see you around Frank" I stood up and he nodded walking off. Honestly, I hope I didn't see him again. I didn't want to...I didn't even want him in my house but thanks to my mum he was in my house. Maybe she'll invite him again? There was something strange about that boy. Something evil but yet, he seemed so kind to me and my mum.
