Frank woke up with a massive headache and called out for Angelica.

“Babe, will you get me some aspirin?”

He waited a few minutes for her response but didn’t get one, then noticed that a lot of her stuff was missing. Suddenly all the events from last night, flooded over him. He groaned, knowing that he messed up and for the first time ever he felt bad. Usually he didn’t care because it was him who broke up with the girls but she was the first to ever do it to him instead.

“Shit.” He grumbled, knowing he messed up bad.

She was the first girl that he actually gave a shit about. He did truly love her but he didn’t know how to show it. Frank had to make it up to her, he had to get her back and he was ready to go to any length to do it. Quickly he took a shower then grabbed to phone to call Gerard.

“Hey man, is Angel over there?” He asked nervously.

There was a pause on the other end before he answered, “Yeah. She’s staying here for a while. What did you do to her?”

“I’ve been a horrible guy to her. I forgot her birthday and like usual I’ve been neglecting her just a bit…”

Gerard sighed, “Frank, seriously?”

Frank shook his head, “I know, I know…I just need to make it up to her. I need her back. I love her.”

“Okay, meet me at Starbucks in an hour and we’ll talk about this and see what we can do.”

He smiled, “Deal. See ya then. Bye.”

Frank tossed the phone onto the nightstand and headed out to the kitchen. When he opened the fridge he saw the container of stir-fry right in front of him, which caused him to feel even guiltier. He forgot her birthday and made her cook him his favorite vegetable stir-fry on her birthday. He sighed and heated it up in the microwave for brunch. After he ate, he rushed out to the parking garage to see his car was back in its spot with the keys in the ignition. He was lucky no one stole it yet. Frank got in and drove off to Starbucks to meet up with Gerard.

Angelica woke up and rolled over expecting to feel Frank but instead all she felt was a pillow. After a few minutes she opened her eyes and remembered everything. She grumbled some inaudible words before tossing the covers off and stumbling out of bed over to one of the duffle bags of clothes she had packed. Right as she pulled out what she was going to wear for that day, the door opened and Lindsey walked in with a plate of food.

“Good morning, Angie.” Lyn smiled wide at her friend and set the plate in front of Angelica.

Angelica smiled politely, “Morning Lyn. Thank you for letting me stay here and everything.”

“Oh hush, I know you’d do the same for me.” Lindsey smiled.

She nodded and started eating the food. The two girls made small talk, avoiding the topic of Frank which was pulling on Angelica’s heart strings.

“So where’s Gerard?” Angelica questioned.

Lindsey shrugged, “I think he went to go get some coffee.”

“Oh could you text him and ask him to get me the usual?” She asked, finishing off her plate.

Lindsey nodded and pulled out her phone to send Gerard a message, “Of course I can, Angie. Do you have to work today?”

“Um, yeah in a few hours.” Angelica nodded, looking over at the digital clock on the wall.

The older woman nodded, “Well then we better hurry up and get you ready for work then.”

Lindsey helped Angelica dress really pretty for work, even though she just worked at a record store. Angelica dressed up in a pink and black floral dress with white sandals. Lindsey did her make up for her so Angelica looked like she could be in a magazine as a model.

“Damn girl, you look pretty sexy!” Lindsey shouted happily.

Angelica giggled softly, “Thanks, Lyn.”

“Oh, no problem, now you better head to work before you get canned.” Lindsey smiled and placed Angelica’s keys in her hands.

Angelica grinned happily, “I’ll see you after work, and then maybe we can go out for dinner.”

“It’s a deal.” Lindsey grinned then pushed Angelica to the door.
