Party Poison

Frankie’s POV-

Starbucks, in fact happened to be 2 shops to the left of Party Poison, which got me wondering.
I wonder if Gerard actually live in Party Poison? Like, the place I stayed, was at the back of the club….
I shrugged and walked back towards Party Poison, then into Starbucks.
I sat at a table and waited, I was half an hour early, but its not like I’ve got anything better to do, and free coffee and free food, damn I would not turn that down.
I ended up falling asleep.

Gee’s POV-

At about 10 mins before we were supposed to meet, I walked in. I spotted Frank already, he was sitting at a table in the corner… he appeared to have fallen asleep.
I smirked, and sat down in front of him, he still didn’t wake, so I decided to order for him.
On the note it said he was vegetarian so I ordered him a veggie burger, with fries, as well as a coffee.
I ordered myself a normal burger and friend, plus a coffee.
After about another 5 minutes Frank, jerked awake. He looked shocked, I had to bite down on the inside of my cheek not to laugh.

‘’Oh my god, im so sorry I fell asleep, you should’ve woken me.’’ He said, repositioning himself.
I smiled and said, ‘’No its fine, I ordered already. Veggie burger, okay? Like you said you were vegetarian so I figured you’d like a veggie burger….’’
He gave me a small smile, ‘’Yeah, that’s fine, thank you so much.’’ He replied.

I shrugged.
The food arrived, and Frank literally stuffed his face like a wild banshee, making me bite my lip to hold back laughter.
After we had both finished eating, I decided to test the waters…

‘’So, Frank… What did you mean about me working for your dad?’’ I ask, hesitantly.
He chokes on his water, and answered anxiously, ‘’Uhm, I-I don’t know… i-it doesn’t matter’’
Okay…. Getting him to open up will be much harder than I thought it would be.
‘’I-I’m sorry, I uh… I shouldn’t have said anything…’’ I mutter.
‘’No, its uh fine, its just a sensitive topic… I don’t like talking about my father…’’ He says.

No shit…
I nod, ‘’Yeah, okay…I suppose he’s the reason for you being homeless.’’ I say, regretting it straight away.
Just as I thought that I’d pushed my luck too far, his lip started quivering and he started crying, before getting out the shaky words, ‘’H-he kicked me o-out…’’
It hurt my heart seeing him like this, and I put my hand across the table, onto his, his hand trembled a bit, but relaxed, as I rubbed my thumb over his knuckles.
After a few moments of him trying to gather himself I said, ‘’Frankie… do you want to come over to my place to have a coffee and rest…”
He bit his lip, looking like he was considering it, before replying, ‘’N-no, it’s okay… you don’t have to do that….’’

I gently put one of my hands underneath his chin, lifting his head up to look at me, ‘’It’s no trouble at all, in fact I want you to come…’’
He blushed slightly before nodding, and I smiled, paying for the food, getting up and we both walked silently back to Party Poison.
It’s too soon to be falling for him, right…?
