Is that a promise?

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

The day has arrived.
Where you and Frank go out to get coffee.
Stepping into the shower, you began to think to yourself.
Are we just getting coffee or is this a date...?

Wait a date..? We're just friends..! I don't even like him that way...

Finishing up your shower, you head back to your room and change into your clothes.
Drying your hair off, you heard the front door open. Panicked, you quickly look out and see four kids.
"You kids really need to tell me if you're coming over!"
Throwing a pillow at them, they apologize.
"Sorry Y/N, it's just been a while since we've been here..."
Tricky admits, giggling.
They notice you looking nice and dolled up, they cheer you on.
"Wow! You look really nice Y/N!"

"Your shirt is really cool!"

"Are you going on a date?!"
Yutani squealed, as the others gasped.
You shrug, saying
"We're just getting coffee... Plus, I don't even like him in that way."
Grabbing your keys and wallet, you warn the kids.
"Im leaving now, but..!"
Raising a finger, they stay silent and gulped..
"If my place becomes a mess, I'm making all of you clean it up."
They nod, giving you "reassuring" smiles.
You squint your eyes at them, closing the door after yourself. Sighing, you look down on your phone.

Hey, I'm here already... I'll wait for you.

Ah shit, I need to hurry up.

Picking up your pace, you get on your motorcycle and drive off.
As you park in the parking lot, you see Frank waiting by the corner.
He sees you walk towards him, putting his phone in his pocket. Waving at you.
He was wearing an all black button up, sleeves rolled up until his elbow and tucked into his fitted pants, black pointy shoes and a leather belt around his waist.
He looks... Hot-- Good! He looks good!
You noticed he wasn't wearing his usual bunny mask... Which disappointed you a bit. Instead, he was wearing a black face mask and sunglasses.
Smiling, you greeted him.
"Hey bunny! Where's your bunny mask?"
You ask in a baby voice, laughing softly.
"Hey, Y/N.."
He scratches his neck.
"It would be weird to wear the bunny mask... So I hope you don't mind this for a while..?"
He chuckles, as you shake your head.
"It's fine, bunny."

The two of you walk inside the café together,
The person in front welcomes you both.
"Welcome! What may I get for you two..?"
You were about to tell Frank your order when the woman speaks again.
"You two are a beautiful couple, I might add..!"
She smiles widely, as the two of you tensed up.
Laughing awkwardly, Frank scratches his neck as he ordered.

"That's all, ma'am."
She punches in the order,
"Here is your receipt.. And wait for a few minutes and your order will be served!"
Frank grabs the receipt,
"Thanks... Oh! And uh, we're not a couple..."
Ears a little red, he smiles softly at you.
The woman's eyes go wide,
"Im sorry! I just thought the two of you look good together..."
She turns red from embarrasment, profusely apologizing to the both of you.
You smiled at her, saying it was fine..

The two of you sit down, seated across eachother.
"That was... Something."
You say, chuckling. Your cheeks a little red.
"Yeah... Anyways, it's really nice to spend time.. Not during work, you know?"
You sighed, leaning back into your chair.
"I know.. I can just relax and be with you."

Few minutes passed, you and Frank talked, getting to know eachother more and knowing basic information, Like birthdays and age.
Receiving your orders, you drank, ate and laughed together.
Frank really treated the promise seriously, of not showing his face until your life was... Normal. He would lift his mask up to eat or drink, only showing his lips. Which made you feel happy, because he was willing to wait for you.

Your time spent together ended and the two of you went home.
"I'll see you next time, Y/N.."
You smile at him,
"See ya, bunny!"
Driving off as he waves at you.

The next day, Tasha paid you a visit.
"Hey!! Wanna hang out?"
She says as you open the door. Surprised, you agree, letting her inside your apartment.
"Your apartment is nice, do you plan on moving out someday?"
She asked as she sets her bag on the coffee table.
You told her yes, you were planning to buy a house after this month. You liked Tasha.. You like her personality and how she's honest to everyone, but because of that, you haven't befriended her... Yet.
You two spend some time to get to know eachother and gotten closer than you were before.
She had asked you to let her paint your nails, and seeing as you had nothing else better to do, you let her.
She excitedly pulls out some nail polish out her bag and some nail files.
Knowing she was about your age, you decided to ask her about what she meant by more than friends.
"Tasha... What did you mean when there's something more than just friends between us...?"
You blush, as she smiles at you teasingly.
"I just know! The way you two embraced, and the way he only let's you near him."
"Near him? What do you mean?"
Tasha continues to paint your toe nails,
"Well... He had always put distance between him and everybody else... Except for you."
You tilt your head, following her words.
"I observed the way he acts towards you or when he's with you and... He seems a lot more happy, and relaxed."
Your heart went faster.
"I don't know, Y/N... But to me, it seems like he wants you more than just friends.. But is to shy or scared to admit it."
You could feel your cheeks going red as you thought about it.
Frank??! Liking me...? I mean it's possible but...

"What about you?"
You looked at her, confused.
"Do you like him? Or not..?"
She finished painting your nails, sitting back down beside you.
"W-Well..! Sometimes... When he says or does something..."
She nods her head, encouraging you to go on..
"I get... I get this feeling inside me. Like butterflies in my stomach.."
You cover your face, embarrassed about what you said.
She giggles, explaining to you.
"Well, better figure out your feelings for him quick, before it's too late.."

You admit, Tasha gave you some pretty good advice. And she just became your new best friend, at least that's what she said.
"Well, I best get going, Y/N... I like you! Let's spend more time together, and we'll be best friends, alright?"
She smiles sweetly at you, causing you to do the same.
"Alright Tasha... I'll see you next time!"
You wave goodbye at her as she walks down the hall.
Closing the door, you start to panic.
Wondering if you actually like Frank or you're just confused....
