“I’m going to go freshen up, have a shower and stuff.” I smiled at the group as we all sat around the tele watching the cheesy Christmas films that were playing. Ray was cuddled up to Christa who had flown over with Sophia. Mikey was texting away on his phone sprawled out on one of the sofas where Gerard and Sophia were sat awkwardly in front of it. Bob was sat crossed legged on the floor with his laptop resting on the coffee table and Frank was sat in the chair reading the latest edition of Batman. They all made a noise to indicate that they had heard what I said as I grabbed my phone of the kitchen counter and walking upstairs. I quickly made my way to the bathroom on the side of the cottage I was staying in and closed the door behind me putting the towel on the radiator and setting my music to shuffle as Guns N’ Roses’ Paradise City started to play. I quickly set the shower to skin tingling hotness and stepped in loving the feeling on my tired muscles. Dancing around the shower as I quickly grabbed the pink grapefruit shower goodies I had brought with me and lathering myself up and letting the water rinse away the foam. I stayed in the shower for longer then was needed, enjoying the feeling of my skin reddening from the heat of the water.

Finally deciding it was time I got out I turned the water off, opening the cubicle and grabbing the towel wrapping the hair one around me first before getting the big towel and wrapping it around my body as the softness soothed the burning. I finished up everything else I needed to as the music changed to Ed Sheeran’s Thinking Out Loud as I opened the door ready to make my dash across the corridor. I swung the door open not even checking anyone was there as I started to make my way round the corner when I crashed into somebody, phone dropping to the floor as I reached to grab my towel looking up at the guilty eyes of Frank.
“I’m sorry.” He laughed looking down at me as I felt my cheeks redden. I mean sure the guys have seen me in a towel plenty of times, they’ve even seen me in my underwear but still doesn’t mean it’s not embarrassing when it happens by accident.
“I should have looked where I was going, I thought it was safe.” I laughed as I watched him kneel down to get my phone for me as he carried on looking up at me.
“I’m sorry.” He said after he stood up fully holding my phone out to me.
“Don’t worry its fine honestly.” I laughed again as I noticed him shake his head. “What’s up Frank?” I questioned again as I put my phone on the little cabinet at the side of one of the bedrooms that had a lamp glowing away on it.
“The other night. At the show when we had the interview I was such an ass.” He carried on looking at me as I bit my lip not knowing what to say. Of course he was an ass but I can’t just blurt that out to him can I?
“It’s done.” I thought as an appropriate response. “Besides I was pretty crabby too so we’re even.” I smiled again as I stepped to the side to pass him, him following suit.
“No I need to… I need to say why.” He carried on as he blocked my way staring down at me. “When I saw you with that guy I felt… angry.” He whispered softly looking at me. “That’s why I did what I did at the bar because I wanted you to feel what I felt. I wanted you to feel…” he paused taking a deep breath, “jealous.” He bit his lip as I stood looking at him with confusion across my face. “And then when I came back and you reacted the way you did I felt satisfaction, I felt like I had won. Then the next day when we barely spoke I realised I can’t let that feeling get in the way again. I need you in my life and I don’t want to drive you away with jealousy.” He bit his lip as he looked down at our feet.
“Frank” I whispered waiting for him to look at me, “where has this come from? What are you saying?” I stared at him biting my lip.
“I’m saying the thought of you with another guy is infuriating, but not as infuriating as thought of you not speaking to me.” He looked up at me through his lashes as I bit my lip. Before I could say anything I felt him pulling me towards him by hips gently and the softness of his lips against mine as I brought my hands up to his neck. He carefully walked me backwards towards the bathroom before kicking the door closed quietly, never pulling our lips apart as I stroked the scorpion tattoo with my thumb as my other hand made its way to his hair as he wrapped his arms around my waist picking me up so that my legs were wrapped around his waist as my damp skin pressed against his. He walked over to the sink sitting me on the counter at the side of it, my head resting against the mirrored cabinet door as I pulled away for breath. He took the opportunity the trace his lips down my jaw and to my neck making me moan softly as I started to work my fingers on his shirt buttons. I was about to pop the second one when there was a knock on the door.
“George are you nearly finished? I really need to pee.” Mikey’s voice rang out as I stopped my fingers, leaving them resting on the button but Frank not following suit still kissing his way around my soft spot of my neck.
“Use the other bathroom!” I shouted out a little angrier then I intended as Frank undid the knot in the towel so that it fell down exposing my naked top half to him.
“I think Frank’s using it. He said he needed to pee as well” Mikey moaned from the other side of the door as I exhaled as Frank started to kiss down my neck.
“Well Frank won’t be naked I am go to that one!” I shouted out again as I heard Mikey’s mumbling about me being snappy get quieter and quieter as he walked away. I quickly moved my hand to Frank’s chin making him look up at me. “We can’t do this.” I shook my head as he stood up straight, my chest heaving a little. “I am your manager. We can’t do this.” I looked him in the eyes as I tried to pull the towel back around me as he stopped me leaning down to kiss me again.
“No you’re my friend right now.” He whispered against my lips before closing the gap between us making me close my eyes.
“No Frank it’s wrong.” I shook my head sliding myself off the counter involuntarily trapping myself in between him and the sink. “I’m sorry.” I whispered as I ducked away from him and made my way out of the bathroom, breathing a sigh of relief once I got into the safety of my own bedroom.

I took my time getting changed hoping to clear my mind before I had to face everyone downstairs. Before I had to face Frank. I put my now damp hair into a messy bun on the top of my head as I pulled out my oversized My Chemical Romance tour t-shirt that I used for bed and my track shorts along with my baseball style bed socks to keeps my feet and legs warm before making my way downstairs. I walked in the front room to notice them all in the same spot as I left them in.
“Does anyone need a drink?” I smiled looking at them, my glance quickly flicking away from Frank as Gerard asked could I bring him a diet coke in. I went and grabbed our drinks as well as some popcorn that I had packed to bring with me and walked back into the front room giving Gerard his drink whilst looking round for a spare seat, the only one was next to Frank on the large chair that could easily fit more than one on. I sat down next to him slowly smiling as he put the duvet that he had over him over my legs. I felt his hand rest on my thigh as I did nothing to move it away causing him to smile softly from the side of me.
“So why was you so snappy at me before?” Mikey glared at me playfully as I looked up at him quickly as Frank began to stroke the inside of my thigh.
“I was in the shower I didn’t need to know you needed to pee!” I laughed trying to play it off but he just carried on glaring at me.
“Sure if I didn’t think of you as a sister I would have said you were getting off.” He laughed as I through a pillow at him as everyone else joined in laughing making me go bright red.
“Shut up.” I blushed laughing along as there was a knock at the door, making us all instantly shut up and look at each other. “Ok we’re in the middle of nowhere is anyone expecting anyone?” I laughed nervously. After spending so much time with these guys, who love to watch horror films, you couldn’t help but get paranoid. They all shock their heads as we all pulled out our fists chanting the same thing.
“Rock. Paper. Scissors.” It was clearly me who lost the childish way of choosing who was answering the door as I discreetly pushed Frank’s hand off me as I got up making my way over slowly to the door, as the knock rang out again.

I smelt the sickly scent of the woman’s perfume before I saw her as I stared at her piercing green eyes. I didn’t recognise her at first, more thankful that it wasn’t a disfigured axe wielding murder banging on the door.

“Baby you in here?” Her high pitched shriek came out as I moved out of the way letting her push her way past me, suitcase in tow as the clipping of her impractical and annoying heels tapped along the stone floor. “There you are Frankie!” Screamed out Amber as she threw herself into Frank’s arms as he quickly caught her, staring at me wide eyed over her shoulder as I closed the door trying to keep my emotions into check.
