In The Mourning
Part Twenty-Nine
It had been weeks since the last time I saw Mikey at the party and we didn't say a word to each other but I saw him leaving the party with a girl. Gerard and I never had the chance to catch up with our conversation and I just didn't even bother to ask anymore. The guys spent a lot of time in studio for the new album and I was busy preparing for exams. I was in between classes and helping my parents' with their never-ending gala, charities and dinner parties.
"How many papers more do you have?", Frank said, snapping me back into reality.
I groaned and picked up the pen that I dropped when I was busy day dreaming about ending my semester.
"I have two more papers to go, I just need to get two research papers done by this weekend!", I said.
"It's such a turn on to date a college girl", Frank grinned.
I rolled my eyes and threw a thick book at him, "Shut up and help me study"
"Babe, you look so stressed out. Do you want me to get something like a cup of coffee or freshly baked cookies?", Frank said.
"It's okay, Frank. I just wanna finish another chapter."
"Look, why don't you finish your chapters and date night tonight? We haven't like gone out for a date in such a long time"
Without hesitating, I just agreed and he left my house to let me study. I only had 4 chapters to go and my exam is 2 weeks away. Pretty sure I could use a date night. It took me a couple of hour to finish the chapter and when I was finally done. I got into a quick shower and straightened my hair. I pulled out a long electric blue dress and wore a cream flats. I was applying the last coat of my lip gloss when I heard knocks on my door.
"Hey babe, are you ready? You look amazing", Frank said from the door.
He looked good himself. He was wearing a gray jumper and dark blue jeans. Nothing fancy but I loved it. His hair looked neat and he didn't smell like cigarette. He just stared at me.
"Stop it, you're making me blush", I said as my cheek turned crimson red.
"I just made a dinner reservation and then, you can choose either movie night in at my house OR I prepared you these, just in case if you feel you haven't studied enough", Frank said as he pulled out something from the backseat of his car.
"What's that?", I asked.
"Flashcards for your exams! I tipped two nerds for these. Not only that.. I know you're going to say that you can't study at my house because you don't have any stationery there. I went out and bought every possible stationery that a student uses.", Frank said as he pulled a huge plastic bag of paper, pens.. You name it.
I smiled like I just won a lottery before hugging him. Frank never takes no as an answer so I agreed to just spend the night at his. I was laughing in the car at the amount of pens and papers he bought for me. After we had dinner, we went straight to Frank's house to watch his favorite movie. I was covered in blanket while Frank hugged me. I wasn't concentrating but Frank was. I was in cloud nine. Under the dim lighting, Frank's hazel eyes were sparkling. His eyes were fixed at the tv and all I could think at that moment was just to kiss his pierced lips.
"Can we talk?", Frank suddenly said.
My stomach dropped.
"Ye-yeah, sure", I stuttered.
Frank let go of me and turned off the TV. The room turned dead silence and he pulled the blanket off me. I was nervous. This didn't look to good.
"Have you ever thought about our future together?", Frank said.
I stared at him, I tried to look at his expression. I wasn't sure if he was joking or not but after looking at his face, I knew that he was serious.
"That's an odd question", I replied.
"Not odd.. I just want to know because I want to spend the rest of my life with you. So I just want to know if you feel the same?"
"Did you just like.. propose me?"
"How many papers more do you have?", Frank said, snapping me back into reality.
