Coffee Stains and Sound Waves (frerard) [SLOW UPDATES]

Part 19

Okay, so this might be the last update for a while, I start school tomorrow, but I'll try to make it as long as possible. Enjoy, xo~G.

 I buried my face in my hands as my mom flipped through a baby blue photo album. She was squished between Frank and I, gushing over photos of me and Mikey as babies. I was hating it, to say the least.

"Aw, how old were they in this one?" Frank pointed at a faded picture where Mikey was on his trike, and I was trying to push him up a hill. My face was red and there seemed to be mud and dirt patching my clothes. Mikey looked clueless, sat there all bundled up in mittens and a hat.

"Two and five years old." My mom flipped the page. "Weren't they just adorable?" 

Frank opened his mouth to answer, but I cut in. "Mom, I think we're gonna head off now." I stood up. "We both have work tomorrow and it's getting pretty late."

Her face fell for a second, but was soon back to being chirpy as she stood up and pulled me into a hug. "Okay honey, it was nice seeing you again." She turned to hug Frank. "It was lovely meeting you Frank, you seem like a really good guy."

"Thank you, Donna." I started to lead us to the door. "The food was amazing."

I hugged my dad on the way, saying thank you for the night. As Frank passed, he held out a hand for my dad to shake. My dad grabbed the hand, before pulling Frank into a hug. 

"Thank you for letting me in your lovely home, I really enjoyed myself." My dad let go of Frank as he walked to my side. He slid his hand into mine, kissing my cheek.

"You're not bad, son, not bad." 

"Anyway, we best be on our way, before Frank gets too tired to drive."

I walked into the apartment to find the kittens curled up in my bed. Frank walked in behind me, holding me against his chest.

"Stay the night?" I asked, knowing the answer would be a yes.

"Only if you stay the night at mine more often." He kissed below my ear.

"What do you mean?"

"I want you to move in with me." He nuzzled his face into the crook of my shoulder. "Only if you want to though, no pressure."

I twisted in his arms, tangling my hands into his hair before kissing him. I pulled away to catch my breath. "Yes." I whispered. "Yes, yes, a million times yes!"

"Really?" 

I kissed him again to show him how serious I was about this. "I better start boxing things up then."

"That can wait." He slid his hands down my sides until they reached my jeans. Tonight was going to be fun...
