Bring Me Your Love

Cubicles

The next few days went by in a flash, the boys took Paige all kinds of places and did stuff with her. The whole gang hadn't been to her house in a while due to the fucking virus. Becky and Frank stayed almost every night, some nights Becky had to go home but that just meant another bed would be empty. Frank sleeping in Paige's bed had become a regular thing. One morning she woke up before Frank (which never happened due to the fact she stayed up all night thinking) and decided to go on a walk and call her mom.
Paige's p.o.v.
"Hello?" she answered.
"Hey ma," I said.
"Oh, hey, wassup?" she asked.
"Nothing much, just thought I'd fill you in with my life stuff," I said.
"Too late, Becky already told me. Now, which one are you choosing?" she asked.
"I don't know, I love them both," I sighed.
"Well, I can help you choose,"
"No thank you,"
"Becky seems to like Frank,"
"She likes them both, she doesn't really prefer any- holy fuck, yes she does. That's why she was so mean with Mikey the other day!"
"Which one is nicer?"
"Uh, they're my best friends, we're not nice to each other mom," I explained.
"Well, which one is the gentleman?"
"They both are like that,"
"Tell you what, Mikey can come to my house for dinner next Wednesday and Frank on Thursday," she said.
"Yeah, IF that works out with their schedule," I scoffed.
"It does, I made sure with Becky," she said. I smirked.
"Okay fine,"
"Also, no more dates until I get a say," she said.
"It's a no from me," I said.
"Okay, Simon, but no sex until graduation please," she said.
"HANGING UP NOW!" I yelled and hung up. I went back inside. Before ny eyes adjusted, another force tackled me and pulled me onto the floor.
"What the hell?" I yelled, I hit my head on the floor.
"Where did you go? I was so worried! I thought you were abducted," Frank was in ruins. He just held onto me as if I was going to take off again.
"Geez Frank, I woke up before you did and went outside to call my mom," I sat up, pressing my hand to the lump forming on my head.
"Oh I'm sorry, how is she?" he asked, helping me up.
"Good, she wants us to go to her house for dinner," I said.
"When?"
"Next Thursday, and don't get your panties in a twist, it corresponds with your schedule,"
"So does she want to see Mikey on Wednesday or Friday?" he asked.
"Wednesday," I said and walked over to the sink to wash my hands.
"Alright well, I shall find a nice button-up,"
"Have fun," I said. I went to use the bathroom. After I was done I made some food.
"Smells delicious," Becky said, emerging from her room.
"Bacon," I said in a French accent, referencing Eric Forman from That 70's show. We giggled and I started making toast for BLTs.
"Oh I cannot," Frank was coughing.
"Oh hush Frankie, you know bacon smells good," I said, pointing a spatula at him.
"Frying dead pigskin? Right what's not to love?" he asked sarcastically.
"I got you a make your own salad kit in the fridge," I said.
"Caesar?" he asked.
"You won't eat any other salad,"
"Great," he pulled it out and started mixing it up in a bowl.
"Here's your sandwich," I put one in front of Becky. She muttered thanks before digging in. There was a knock on the door.
"I'll get it," Frank got up.
"Hey Frank," Gerard entered the house, holding some daisies for Becky.
"Are those for me?" she asked.
"Yeah," he smiled. She blushed and took them out of his hands to smell them. I grabbed a glass of water and placed the flowers in it.
"Thank you," she said and he kissed her nose in return.
"Anyone else?" I asked Gerard as he made his way over to the stove and grabbed a slice of bacon.
"Actually-"
"Hola amigos," Rays voice sounded.
"Ray," Frank gave him a huge hug. I knew he missed hanging out with his friends more than anything and I felt bad.
"Gerard," I motioned for him to follow me to my room.
"What the deal?" he asked, closing the door behind them.
"Look, I know how much Frank misses you guys and I can't help but feel responsible for the deprivation of his friends, and Mikey misses him too. Can you guys just take him out and do some of your boy things tonight?" I asked him.
"But it's your guys night," he said.
"I couldn't care less, he needs a break and I need a night in, okay? My mom's wanting to meet both of them," I said.
"She's already met them?"
"Yeah but not when they've had the hots for me,"
"Mikey's always had the hots for you," Gerard corrected me.
"Okay well this is different from 'Hey, ma, this is my friend Frank who thinks I'm absolutely disgusting and would never be with me,"
"You actually thought that?"
"Yes! I still think this is all a joke sometimes," I rolled my eyes.
"This is real-life sweetheart," he said.
"Don't call me sweetheart," I scolded him.
"Okay okay fine, I'm sorry," Gerard's eyes got wide.
"Just take him out please," I practically begged him.
"Okay yes, we shall,"
"Keep his mind off of me, and I can't hang with Mikey tomorrow, I'm going on a girl's night,"
"I shall pass along the message," Gerard said.
"Good, my name is to not be mentioned at all tonight," I warned.
"Gotcha,"
"Okay, get out of here," I shooed him out.
"Frank lets hit the road, I'll explain everything in the car," he announced, walking towards the door.
"Okay? Paige, you good with this?" he asked. I nodded.
"Yeah shure," Ray said.
"I am, go, have a fun time," I told him.
"Okay, I'll be back soon, sweetheart," he kissed my forehead. I didn't even think to yell at him for it.
"Okay, bye," I kissed his cheek.
"Bye babe," Gerard waved. Once they were out, I locked the door. Becky was sipping on some water behind me and giving me eyes.
"What?"
"Oh nothing, I just think Frank is so gonna win this," she smirked.
"I'm not saying a word," I pretended to zip my lips.
"Mhm,"
"Clear your schedule for tomorrow, we're gonna have a girls night," I told her.
"Really?"
"Yes, tonight is going to be a self-care night. See ya in 5 hours," I announced and locked myself in my room...
