Where's your heart?

The rest of the afternoon and night passes quickly as I tidy the house before I settle on the couch with my sketchbook, watching tv and mindlessly sketching and just as the clock reaches one in the morning I find myself getting sleepy so I decide to take a shower, hoping that will wake me up a little. I focus on washing myself, the actions of moving around a lot helping to make me more alert but after I'm done I slump against the wall and the hot water pouring over my body just makes me feel more sleepy and relaxed so I let my eyes slip closed, breathing out slowly as I slide down the wall to sit. A few minutes later the water starts to cool off and I realise I'm running out of hot water so I force my eyes back open, pushing myself up off the floor and turning the water off before I stumble out of the shower and grab a towel, drying myself off and pulling my boxers on and just as I leave the bathroom, planning on going to find some warm comfy pyjamas I hear a knock at the door so I wander down the hallway to answer it, wondering if I really spent that much time in the shower. As soon as the door opens Franks eyes widen slightly as they trail down my body and when I glance down I realise I'm still only in my boxers and I feel my cheeks heat slightly as Franks eyes trail back up to my face and when he sees the colour of my cheeks he lets out a soft chuckle as he steps forward and pecks my lips. "Hey you" he greets me as he steps past me to come inside and after I've closed and locked the door his hands grip my hips, spinning me around and pressing me back against the door as he presses his lips to mine again, the kiss remaining slow and soft and a minute later I pull back a little, half yawning into Franks mouth, his lips pulling into a smile as he says "I'm sorry I kept you up so late babe, let's get you to bed." "No, I'm ok" I tell him, my words slurring a little before I cut myself off with another yawn and Frank chuckles softly as he leads me down the hallway, his arm remaining secured around my waist helping to keep me upright.

I wake up a few hours later and when I roll over I see the clock beside the bed says its 4.20 and Frank isn't in bed beside me. I sit up, my head spinning a little with the action and as I bring my hand up to rub at my eyes I hear the sound of running water and I realise Frank must be in the shower so I slump back against the pillows, curling up on my side and letting my eyes slip closed again as I wait for him to come back. A few minutes later the water stops and everything goes silent for a while before the bathroom door opens and I hear footsteps making their way back into the bedroom, the door closing before the mattress shifts and once Frank is laying beside me I slide over and snuggle into his side, my face nuzzling into his neck. "Shit I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you" he says softly as he rolls onto his side to face me, his arms sliding around my body to pull me closer. "You didn't, it's ok" I whisper back before I close the gap between us, searching out his lips in the dark and we lay pressed against each other sharing slow deep kisses, our hands moving up and down each other's sides and backs as we slowly make out. "I'm sorry about today" Frank says softly after we manage to pull apart again, our arms still wrapped around each other but our kisses slowing right down, both of us drifting closer and closer to sleep. "It's ok" I tell him and I feel Frank shake his head before saying "No it's really not. I'm just...I've been single for so long I'm still just kinda not used to having that other person in my life again and I know that's a shitty excuse but I..." "Frank it's alright, I get it and I'm sorry I thought you might have been cheating I just...I know how bad that hurt the first time and I know it would really destroy me if someone did that to me again." I feel Franks hand come up to gently cup my cheek, his thumb rubbing back and forth across my skin as he says "Gee, I swear on my life I would never betray you or hurt you like that." I feel my lips tug into a smile as I slide my hand up Franks back, bringing it tangle in the back of his hair as I lean in to kiss him again, his lips and tongue slowly moving against mine until we slow right down, both of our breaths evening out until we fall asleep tangled up together.

The next time I wake up the room is dimly lit with the sunlight shining in around the edge of the blinds and when I roll over I see Frank spread out beside me, a lazy smile on his face as his chest slowly rises and falls as he sleeps. I curl up on my side and watch him sleep for a few minutes before he starts to stir and as he blinks his eyes open he turns his head to face me, his smile tugging a little wider. "Hey" he groans out, his voice still rough with sleep and I reach out to run my fingers through his hair, pushing it back off his face but as I go to pull my hand back Frank grabs my wrist and uses it to tug me closer, my body falling half ontop of his as he leans up to kiss me. "No, morning breath" I rush out as I turn my head, Franks lips colliding with my cheek and he pulls back and chuckles, bringing his hand up to cup my chin and turn my head back to face him, his mouth surging up to collide with mine. I melt into the kiss quickly, my eyes slipping closed and I feel Franks hands slide down to rest over my ass, applying slight pressure and holding me tight against him right before I am rolled sideways, my back hitting the mattress as Frank rolls to lay over me, pressing into the kiss more and increasing the pressure as the kiss turns from a soft morning kiss to the kind of kiss you share with someone you're about to fuck, Franks hips grinding down into mine.
