A Killer Queen - I Want To Break Free

The next day, Fabrizio's Restaurant.

You woke up happily, despite what had happened last night. The next day, after your night out with Freddie and partially being assaulted by a stalker; you were going to have breakfast at your and Fred's favorite breakfast eatery. It was another great day and a breeze blew through your window. When you looked at the clock on the wall you saw it was quarter to 8 and you knew you had to get up.

Freddie was a very punctual man and if you were late, he would make you spend the entire day with him just to make up for only 5 minutes of lost time; not that you minded, you were best friends for a reason.

"Better not keep the majesty himself waiting," You say into the open space of your bedroom. You grunted as you got up and stretched, occasionally hearing a pop from your bones.

It was Saturday and you knew Freddie had much more in store for you than just breakfast. Weekends were the time where you would hop back and forth between each other's houses, most spending it at your place because Freddie still lived with his parents and they were...strict, is the nice way to put it. You would order food or, cook at home; Freddie loved to cook some of his family's cultural food for you and you loved every minute of it.

You walked through the open door of your bedroom and made a u-turn into your bathroom. Your apartment is quaint and small, but perfect for one person; Freddie even joked about moving in and kick you out so he can have it all to himself. You fix your hair in your mirror and brushed through it to give it volume. You quickly washed and moisturized your face before you put on some mascara, deodorant, and brushed your teeth.

When you went back to your bedroom you picked out some tight jeans, a colorful silk long sleeve and decided to wear your regular boots you got for Christmas this year from Fred. You were done in 15 minutes and was ready after you went back to your bathroom to spray on some perfume on your chest and some in your hair. A good tip because it makes perfume last longer.

You packed up your purse with the necessities and went to go slip on your boots. You pulled a cigarette from the pack and used the new lighter you, 'apprehended' per se, to strike up the dart in your mouth. You breathed in the smoke and let it hang loose in your mouth as you locked your door.

When you got outside you walked down the streets you were so familiar with, passed the spot where you essentially assaulted a stalker who assaulted you in the first place and Don's nightclub. You still saw the same van in the parking lot that you saw last night, a blonde and a tall curly headed brunette were too far away to see, but they were unloading their van again as you passed the alleyway, lighting another cigarette.

You got to the diner right on time and flicked your dart before seeing Fred sitting at your usual table. He noticed you over the morning paper he was reading and wiggled his eyes brows, making you laugh before he stood up and threw the paper down to give you a hug. You laughed and ordered what you said you both would order last night, the opposites usual order. You told him about Tim and how you kicked his nobhead ass, which he responded with 'you're the type of chick men write love songs about'. You talked about anything and everything, Fred even saying that he has some good news to tell you soon and that it had to do with him going his separate ways from you so soon last night.

"Just tell me now!" You say with a mouth full of food, making him smile.

"It's a surprise darling, but I can give you a hint...i got a new job that pays my salary, doubled," He says with a smirk.

Two weeks later, Freddie took you out for lunch and to a music store because 'he would do anything for your sweet ass and you knew it'. At the beginning of the day, Freddie took you shopping and bought you tasteful clothes; he had an amazing fashion sense and you could never figure out why. You had lunch at Papa Enzo's where they literally have the best burgers in town, and he took you the music shop to play with the drums. He watched in awe when you played, even though he knew it was a pass time for you, he will always be enchanted by the way you could create tunes on the spot. Well, you did that until the owner chased both of you out.
