Common People (frerard)

Chapter 15

We were in car driving somewhere I didn't know. Frank was being suspicious, though. He seemed excited as he sang while he drove. It was already three in the afternoon when we crossed the border into New York and then soon we pulled into a parking lot. He smiled, opening the door for me. Neither of us still said anything as we walked through the parking lot and I gasped as I saw a whole pier fair.

I looked at Frank with watery eyes as I gave him a hug. He bought us entrance bracelets and I smiled as I went in. Frank bought some tickets before joining me.

"What do you think?" He asked.

"This is the nicest thing anyone's ever done for me," I said.

"What would you like to do first?" He asked.

"I don't know, there's so much here," I mumbled.

"How about we start off with bumper cars?" He asked.

I smiled and nodded as we headed over. We got into the carts and waited for it to start. As soon as it powered up, we started racing around. Frank rammed into me and I laughed, running away from him. When the machines whirred down, we got out and walked around. We spent all day just eating snacks and going on rides. When the sun set, we went onto the Ferris wheel.

"Thanks for today," I said. "I've had a really amazing time."

Frank reached over to hold onto my hand. I blushed, looking at the sunrise. When we got off, we got some elephant ears before leaving the fair. We went to a dock and sat at the end, watching as the stars began to shine in the sky.

"Frankie, why did your family ball seem so weird?" I asked. "It didn't seem like a yearly event."

"About that," he mumbled. "We lied. Jamia and I made it up just so we could spend more time with you and then we forgot and had to plan it last minute."

"You did that all for me?" I asked and he nodded.

I leaned over, gently pressing my lips against his. Frank kissed me back, placing his hand on my cheek. My heart was racing as we kissed. I could taste the cinnamon sugar on his tongue. We pulled apart slowly but I couldn't look him in the eyes as I smiled and blushed.

"That was amazing," he whispered.

I giggled, holding his hand.

"Do you want to head back?" He asked.

"Not yet, I'm really happy right now," I said.

Frank smiled as I put my head on his shoulder. We watched the waves move softly under the moonlight together eating our dessert until I got tired.

We walked back to the car and neither of us could stop giggling as we drove back. When we got home, Frank and I walked back upstairs.

"D-do you want me to sleep in your bed?" I asked.

"It's up to you, you don't have to if you don't want to," he said.

"Okay, I kind of want to sleep in my bed alone, I don't know if I'm ready," I said. "But do you wanna hang out a little longer?"

Frank smiled and nodded. I grabbed Matcha and some of her toys before going to his room. She played around as we sat on the couch together. Frank put on a movie and I hesitated before cuddling up next to him.

"What are we?" I whispered.

"What do you want to be?" He asked.

"I'm scared," I mumbled.

"Why?" He asked, pulling back to look at me.

I didn't say anything as I looked down, my eyes watering.
