Return To Me, My Love

I come home from a really terrible day at work, stressed out and upset. The whole day nothing went right, I was late leaving for work and therefore late getting there which got me in trouble, I dropped a box of paints and broke some of them which I was told my pay would be docked for and my manager was in a shitty mood all day which made the day stretch on longer and to top it all off halfway home it started to rain so by the time I dragged myself through the front door I am absolutely soaked. I sigh in relief as I step into the warmth of the apartment, closing the door behind me and I kick off my shoes, shrugging off my jacket as I make my way down the hallway to the bedroom where I stop in my tracks when I see the whole room dimly lit by hundreds of candles and Frank is kneeling in the middle of the bed. "Babe" I gasp out as I look around with a huge smile on my face and Frank climbs off the bed and walks over to me, reaching up and cupping my face in his very warm hands, sending a shiver down my spine with how cold my whole body is. "What happened baby?" He asks softly, concern written all over his face. I sigh softly before telling him about my terrible day as his hands work on my clothes, stripping them off me and once I'm fully naked he steps forward and pulls me into his warm chest, sliding a hand into the back of my hair and guiding it down so I can rest my head on his shoulder as I finish my story. "Oh baby it's alright" he says softly as his other hand gently strokes up and down my back and I melt into his chest, his body heat warming me up perfectly. "Come lay down with me and I'll make it all better." I let Frank guide me to the bed and once I'm on my back he tugs his boxers off before climbing over me, trailing soft kisses down my neck and across my collarbones as he whispers out "You're so beautiful baby, I love you so much." I let out a soft groan as his lips brush against my most sensitive spot on my neck and as he pulls back to smile down at me I hear a loud piercing repetitive noise and I frown as I look around, trying to find the source of the noise and when I turn my head back Frank is gone from above me.

My eyes snap open and I let out a deep sigh as I sit up, reaching out to slam my hand down on the alarm, shutting it up. I slump back into the pillows, letting out another sigh as I roll my head to look over at Franks very cold side of the bed, thinking about the last time we spoke. The band is now two weeks into the tour and even though Frank promised to call every day two days in it became very obvious that that was an unrealistic promise and since then we have only talked a few times. It's been four days since we spoke last and even though I am starting to become used to being alone it's not getting any easier. My days all consist of the same routine now, waking up alone in the morning, showering and making myself breakfast before I head off for work and when I come home I sit on the couch and stare mindlessly at the tv or draw until I can't keep my eyes open anymore, constantly sneaking glances at the front door wishing Frank would walk through it even though I know he won't before dragging myself to bed and curling up in the too cold sheets, thinking about Frank until I fall asleep. I slowly drag myself out of bed, finally having a day off and I stumble into the kitchen for some coffee and as I start the machine I hear my phone start to ring and I nearly trip myself over in my haste to get to it, running down the hall and scooping it up off the bedside table to see that it's Mikey calling, not Frank. "Hey Mikes" I greet him, trying to not sound disappointed but from his tone of voice I know I failed. "Hey Gee, what are you upto today?" "Nothing, it's my day off so probably just laying around the house watching tv." I hear Pete saying something I can't make out in the background and Mikey chuckles before saying "Cancel those plans then, we're going out." I chuckle back and Mikey tells me where to meet him and Pete in two hours time. After we hang up I go back into the kitchen and my coffee is done and just as I sit down and go to take a sip my phone starts ringing again so I sigh and stand up, walking back down the hall to the bedroom, wondering what Mikey forgot to tell me this time but my heart starts to flutter and my face breaks out into a massive grin as I see Franks name on the screen, the dull ache I've been feeling in my whole body the last four days fading to nothing as I hit the answer button and bring the phone to my ear.
