You Can Cry All You Want To, I Don't Care

After we're done Frank grips my hips and guides me to roll over, sliding his hand around to rest in the middle of my lower back, holding me firmly against him as he kisses me softly, all the urgency we felt before gone now. I break the kiss to gulp in a deep breath and Frank chuckles softly as he reaches out and picks a piece of business card out of my hair and when I see him flick it away I chuckle too and Frank brings his hand back to cup my cheek. "Are you sure you don't want to...." He trails off, looking sad again and I shake my head as I say "Honestly I thought I did but then you made the effort to make arrangements and it just terrified me. I can't.....I don't want to be without you" my voice wavering by the end and Frank leans in to rest his forehead against mine. "Shh my love, it's alright I'm not going anywhere unless you ask me to." "Frankie we gotta stop doing this to each other." "I know babe, I love you, so so much." "I love you too" I tell him and Frank smiles softly before leaning in to press his lips to mine again. After we drag ourselves out of bed we redress and leave the bedroom hand in hand, wandering through the apartment but we are alone so we settle on the couch, starting a movie as we lay down together and we share more soft kisses until we eventually fall asleep on the couch, Franks arms wrapped tightly around me to keep me from falling off and I bury my face in his neck, breathing in his intoxicating scent.

I am woken a few hours later by Frank laughing and I slowly open my eyes, pulling back a little and Frank stops laughing, turning his head to look down at me and his hand comes up to stroke down my cheek as he softly says "Sorry baby, I didn't mean to wake you." "'S ok" I mumble out as I snuggle back into Franks side for warmth and Franks arm tightens around me and I hear Mikey's voice say "Awww that's so cute." I slowly roll over, Franks chest pressed to my back as his arm wraps around my waist again and I see Mikey and Pete sitting on the couch opposite us and I raise my hand to half heartedly flip him off and Mikey just chuckles at me. We sit around and talk and after a while Ian comes home and takes a seat in the arm chair, joining in on the conversation and when Pete slips his hand into Mikey's the mood shifts and Ian stops talking as much. I tilt my head up and catch Franks eye and he raises his eyebrow at me to indicate he noticed too and after another few minutes Ian gets up and leaves the room without a word. I turn back to Frank and whisper "Should I go see if he's ok?" "I don't know babe" he says softly and I sigh as I say "Ok I'll be right back" and I climb off the couch, wandering out to Ian's room where I knock softly on the door before going in, finding Ian laying face down on the bed.
