Return To Me, My Love

Chapter Forty Nine

I don't bother calling Frank, not even sure what I would say if I did call and I continue on with my life, working my shifts at the record store and three weeks after I start I'm working with the manager Andy again, the afternoon being slow and we are talking about going to see this new band he's really excited about when the bell over the door goes off and I glance up to see two guys enter the store, one tall with long shoulder length hair and the other is shorter with tattoos all over his arms. Andy and I let them wander around, giving them a chance to browse and as I round the counter a few minutes later to see if they need help the tall one looks up and I freeze in my tracks, my face breaking into a smile as I say "Hey." William smiles back, turning to face me and I walk over to stand in front of him. "How have you been?" He asks and I shrug as I say "Fine, how about you?" "Yeah good, we're heading into the studio to record our new album next week and...oh wait I don't know if you two met, Gee this is the butcher" William gestures to the tattooed guy standing beside him and I smile as I say "I think we briefly met but hey it's nice to meet you again." "Yeah, it's good to see you" he offers, turning back to the CDs in front of him and I turn my gaze back on William. "So can I help you guys with anything?" I ask, Williams eyes widening as he says "You work here?" "Yeah I just started a few weeks ago and...." "What happened to working the merch?" He asks, clearly confused and I just shrug and say "Didn't really work out but I like it here so it's all good." We continue to make small talk for a few minutes until Williams band mate is ready to go and as he's paying for his purchases William and I exchange numbers, planning on catching up around his recording schedule.

A few days after I run into William I get a message from him asking if I'm going to Franks show in Jersey the following night, the guys finally back in the country and I message back telling him I wasn't planning on it. No reply comes through for a while and fifteen minutes later my phone starts to ring, Williams name on the caller ID and I answer, knowing he's going to ask what's going on. I decide to get it out of the way, telling him the basic details of what happened and why I'm no longer on tour with the band and William says "Look I'm going with a bunch of my friends if you want to come, we'll be in the crowd, blended in, you could just come have a good time." I think about it for a minute before saying "Yeah ok, do you mind if I bring a friend?" "Of course not" William tells me and after we hang up I call Bert, asking if he has plans and when I tell him what I'm asking for he tells me he'll be there. I get online and buy two tickets, knowing I shouldn't have to pay but I don't want Frank to know I'm going so I charge them to my credit card and text Bert what time and where we are meeting Williams friends to travel in to the show.

The next day I wake up and head into work, working the early shift with Andy again and we make small talk between customers but as the morning goes on I start to get nervous. "Is everything ok?" Andy asks and I swallow hard before saying "I'm going to see Franks show in Jersey tonight and he doesn't know and I'm kinda nervous to see him again." "I'm sure it will be alright" he tells me before adding "I'll buy you a drink, help you get through it." "You're going?" I ask, Andy smiling as he says "Yeah, I didn't want to mention it because I know it's probably not really something you'd want to talk about." "It's fine, really" I tell him and when our shift finishes I tell him I hope to see him later. I head home, the apartment empty so I take a shower before I go into my bedroom and pick an outfit, going with black skinny jeans and a band tshirt, pairing it with black boots and a leather jacket and just as I'm applying a small amount of eyeliner under my eyes I hear the front door open and the sound of talking, someone knocking at my door a few seconds later and when I go over and open it, my hand running through my hair I come face to face with Bert, dressed similarly to me and his eyes drop down, raking up my body until he reaches my face again and he softly says "Well fuck," his eyes holding just a hint of lust and I feel my mouth pull into a smile as I say "So I look ok?" Bert chuckles as he reaches out and runs his fingers through my hair, messing it up a little before pulling away and saying much better. I turn and walk back over to the mirror, taking in my appearance and my hair looks like I was just fucked, sticking up and messy but it looks good. "You ready?" Bert asks, his eyes glued to me and I suspect he was staring at my ass while I wasn't looking and I smile and nod as I grab my wallet, keys and phone, sliding them into my back pocket as I follow him out into the hallway, Pete wolf whistling at me as we pass their bedroom door and I stop to poke my tongue out at him, making him laugh as he says "Have a good time." As Bert and I reach the front door Mikey steps out and gives me a hug, whispering in my ear to have a good time and not to worry about Frank. I nod as we pull apart, Bert grabbing my hand as we walk out the door, and when we get down onto the street we start the four block walk to the subway station we are meeting William and his friends at, Bert's grip on my hand helping ease my nerves.

Notes

So next chapter could be a potential reunion after almost three months of not speaking, are they ready for it?

Okay okay, now Ian is seeming like a proper asshole! And now I have no idea who to ship for, I liked the idea of Ian cause he was different from frank, but now I'm back on the Frank side! Maan, maybe even Bert may have a chance here! Thanks for keeping me guessing lol :) <3

I had to catch up on the new chapters, I missed this story so much !

Mikey is a bit annoying seriously like he's making Frank seem bad but honestly Gee is just being immature about Frank's job and all.
At the same time I feel bad for him too because of Ian's shitty
behavior.
Hope Frank and G will be okay

Love the drama, ahaha

Poor Gee...Ian needs to back the fuck off!

I can see Gee's point and he SHOULD be a priority for Frank but Frank can't walk away from his livelihood. UGH! I know drama drives a story but PLEASE don't let IAN screw things up for Gee. He's been through so much. Frank does need to realize Gee's position. Glad it's not me writing this...but I LOVE reading it.
