Poison

Chapter 9-I Love You

- 3 MONTHS LATER -

Frankie and I have been taking our relationship slow. Yes, we kiss but we don't really get heated and into it. We agreed that we wouldn't let that happen the day Frankie almost let it happen ( 3 months ago ) . Our first kiss on the lips was shared on Christmas day and it was magical.

Christmas was spent with my family and Frank spent Christmas with his. Christmas night, Frank came over to watch Christmas movies with me. For presents, Frankie kindly got me an art kit and I got Frankie a guitar pick with my initials on it. He loves it.

Today, Friday, April 1st, Frank is coming over for coffee. Today is the day I plan on asking him to move in with me. Frank finally got a job at a comic book store and it pays him well. He's been looking for a house around my area, but what's the point? He has me and I see us being together forever.

Forever.

A few weeks ago, I decided that I loved Frank.

I love Frank.

I haven't said it to him before and I want to but I'm scared he won't say the 3 beautiful words back.

Knock Knock

I rush to the door, opening it quickly.

"Frankie!" I hug him tight. He hugs back, planting a small kiss on the corner of my mouth.

"Hi Gee." Frank pulls away and walks into my apartment.

Time for the plan.

"Frank, do you like it here? My apartment I mean." I say following him into the kitchen. Frank pulls out two coffee mugs from the cabinet.

"Of course. I mean, I know where everything is and you are here." Frank smiles, pouring coffee in both of the mugs.

"Do you like how everything is set up?" I ask.

"What do you mean?" Frank walks over to me, handing me a coffee.

"I mean, do you like how the kitchen is connected to the living room? Or how my bedroom door is right next to the living room TV. Do you like how the kitchen is smaller then the living room but my room is the same size as the living room? Do you not mind that there is not a dining room? Or how the only bathroom I have is in my room? Do you like the plain white walls out here but the art pictures I made that are hung in my room?"  I take a breath and then sip on my coffee.

"I love everything about this place." Frank smiles. "But what are we getting at here?" Frank asks, taking a small sip from his coffee.  I take a deep breath and as I watch Frank sit his coffee cup down, I pull him into a kiss. Frank gasps at first but then kisses back. Frank smiles into the kiss and rest his forehead on mine. "What was that for?"

"Move in with me?" Frank eyes widen and he smiles big.

"I thought you wouldn't ask." He laughs, embracing me into a hug.

****

Frank stumbles into my bedroom, setting down some boxes on my bedroom floor.

"That's the last of my things." Frank pants. I laugh at how tired Frank looks. I walk over to Frank and kiss him lightly on the cheek.

"I'm really glad you are moving in with me."

"Me too." Frank whispers.

"So," I look around my room. "I was thinking we could change my room into a artsy music room." I explained. "I know you have three different guitars. Pancy, Frankinstien, and Lovely. We could set them up in the corner of my room and I can paint some really cool pictures and we can get band posters."
