Anytime

Frank’s P.O.V

We were quickly on the main street trying to haul a cab, which Ruby did quickly. I quickly texted Gerard to say I was going back to the hotel so he wouldn’t go into panic mode. Not that I think he’d noticed I was gone. I got in the taxi first dragging Ruby in after me who was telling the driver her address as I kissed down her neck. We finally pulled up and I threw a bunch of money at him climbing over her so I could pull her out.
“Your change mate!” I heard the driver shout as I just raised my hand grabbing her hand and walking towards the buildings door. She lived in a small apartment block, but my god it looked posh. She fumbled around with her fob finally getting it together when the door opened and some guy in a suit and an earpiece smiled at her.
“In a rush Ruby?” He asked as she just nodded pulling me in, her infectious giggle filling the quiet echoy reception. That’s right they had a reception.
“Why are you giggling?” I asked laughing leaning her against the wall of the lift.
“He so knows what we’re doing.” She said between her giggles and for once I smiled genuinely.
“As long as he doesn’t ask to join I don’t give a shit.” I whispered in her laughing as she jumped up with a bit of encouragement. It used to be so hard to carry my ex to our door especially whilst making out, but with Ruby it was different, I was more excited than ever and pure adrenaline kicked in. I couldn’t wait to get in the flat and have my way with her. We reached her door as she rubbed her bum against the fob slot, the beep acting as my signal that there was another barrier less between us. I walked through her house not even paying attention to a slight detail as she mumbled directions on my lips. We finally reached her room and I set her down on the floor, throwing my jacket off in record speed as she rushed over to her desk sitting her phone in the docking station and throwing her leather jacket off. I walked over to the edge of the bed meeting her there as she shimmied out of her dress on the way over. I noticed the black lace that was left on her and it sent me wild, I grabbed her hips pulling her into me with some force as she moaned into the kiss. I rid myself of my top and jeans, boxers not an issue given that I never wore any as she reached down and ran the knickers down until they pooled at her ankles. I started to bit down her neck sliding one of my hands around her back undoing the bra. I pushed her down on the bed, quickly following her down just as Shoop by Salt N Pepa started to fill the room.

“Think it’s safe?” I whispered to her as we both stood behind her door with our ears against the door, smiling at each other.
“I haven’t heard anything?” She whispered back as I nodded leaning up slightly, her hand going to the door handle. She stuck our head around the door frame holding her thumb to me indicating we were safe, we made our way quietly out of her room and towards the front door. We were so intent on getting to the door that we hadn’t noticed kitchen light on, the smell of fresh coffee or the smug eyes watching us.
“We got this covered.” She whispered just as we got to the door, she was about to open it when we heard their voices ring out.
“Totally covered. Next time use the window.” Maddie’s voice had every inch of smug in it as we stalled our movements and turned on our heels to face them, caught like fish in a line.
“Would you like some coffee Frank?” Maddie asked as Gerard held the cup out to me, she was typing furiously on her phone.
“I was erm… It’s not what it looks like?” I offered as the usual excuse as Ruby looked up at me with a ‘seriously?’ kind of look.
“I’m sure it’s not. I’m sure you just came round to learn the dance moves to Push It and all the other Salt N Pepa songs that were playing last night.” Maddie smiled over at us both.
“Especially Let’s Talk About Sex.” Gerard muttered under his breath which caused both of them to go into a fit of giggles.
“Seriously though you might as well stay for coffee, you and Gerard can go back together then? One journey and all.” Maddie said after she had finally calmed down. I looked over at Ruby silently asking her if she was ok with it as she just shrugged and made her way over to the breakfast bar where they were sat.

“So what happened then?” Gerard asked once we were walking in the direction of the hotel. We’d got a taxi back from the girls and decided to stop in town to have a look around.
“Do we have too?” I asked as I turned to look at him and for once smug Gerard or prying Gerard wasn’t being seen. It was just Gerard. “We went to have a cigarette and we were talking about our ex’s and we both said we missed the sex and one thing led to another and that another was us in bed listening to Salt N Pepa.” I shrugged pulling out a cigarette and lighting it up instantly as a stress reliever.
“And?” Gerard asked looking at me expectantly. This exactly what we’d talked about, Ruby and I knew that our best friends wanted us to find a new partner, someone we could share our lives with; but, we both knew that’s not what we wanted just yet. It might sound rich given the fact that I’d just slept with her but I hardly knew her to say if anything else would come from it. All I knew was that she was a cool girl who knew how I was feeling and felt the same. There was no complication when it came to feelings it was just satisfying a craving.
“Look Gerard it was what it was that’s it.” I looked at him shrugging and carried on walking leaving him stood there a little shocked.
“Ok so you just had sex and that’s it? You’re just going to walk off and leave a girl that could be your girl?” He ran after me standing in front of me before I had chance to open the door to the venue.
“Gerard believe it or not Ruby has a say in whether we do anything else too, and, this is what we both want. For now, we don’t want relationships we want occasional, none committed sex that’s all.” I told him trying to remain calm, even if it was frustratingly tempting not to be. He stared at me for what seemed like forever before he shrugged and moved. I looked at him a moment longer before swinging open the heavy door and making my way inside, back to safety.
