Where's your heart?

Lunch passes smoothly, Frank and I grabbing a booth at a nearby diner and stealing food off each other's plates inbetween giggles and sneaky kisses and we're just about to pay and leave when two high school age looking kids walk past our booth, muttering "Filthy fags" under their breaths as they go, shooting us filthy looks and my laughter dies, my stomach twisting painfully as my gaze drops down to my lap, my body shaking slightly and I feel the seat move right before Franks voice shouts "What the fuck did you just say?" I look up to see the boys turn and come back, approaching Frank and I bite down on my bottom lip as my eyes widen in fear and just as the boys go to say something else the manager comes out and tells them they need to leave, ushering them towards the door before turning back to Frank and I and apologising, Frank doing all the talking as I let my gaze drift back to my lap and a minute later I feel him sit back beside me. "Gee" he says softly, his warm hand coming down to rest on my arm as I look back up at him. "Are you ok?" I nod, not knowing what to say, my mind racing as I wonder if things will be like that all the time now and whether I can handle it or not and Frank frowns before saying "Don't let ignorant people like that get to you, I know it sucks but honestly they're so few in numbers you'll barely even notice them in life." I nod again, trying to force a fake smile onto my face as Frank continues with "And besides, they were clearly just jealous, I mean did you see that one kid checking you out? I totally get it," making me giggle as my cheeks go bright red and Frank smiles wide, his hand coming up to cup my cheek and a long second later he leans in and presses a soft peck to my lips.

Frank and I end up spending the rest of the day together, watching movies and cooking dinner before he needs to head home, both of us having work the following day and I fall asleep with a huge smile on my face. Monday passes in a blur, my mind still lingering on Frank and by Tuesday afternoon I am dying to see him again. Mikey, Pete and I are sitting around the living room about to start a movie when the doorbell rings and I frown slightly in confusion, neither of us having decided on what we want to order in yet and I know Franks working so I drag myself up and down the hall to answer it, coming face to face with Frank who is holding pizza boxes and he smirks wide and says "I have a hot delivery for you....oh and some pizza too" before winking and I burst into laughter, my cheeks going red and as Frank starts to laugh too I hear Mikey say "Wow, totally came out at the wrong time," both of our attention turning to see him coming down the hallway towards us. "You ordered this?" I ask as my giggles die down and Mikey nods and says "Yeah, you wouldn't shut up about him so I figured this would get you through the rest of the night and...." "Shut up" I tell him playfully as I hit him on the arm and Frank laughs again before handing Mikey the pizza and as he walks back down the hallway, his back to us, Frank reaches out and grabs my hips, pulling me against him as his lips collide with mine and I slip my tongue into his mouth immediately, my arms wrapping around his neck and pretty soon he has me pressed back against the open door, his whole body pressing against mine as we kiss heatedly. We make out for a few minutes before something in Franks pocket beeps and he reluctantly pulls back, sighing softly as he reaches out to gently stroke his fingers down my cheek before he says "I gotta get back to work." "Oh, right" I manage to get out, my head still spinning from the kiss and I feel disappointment spread through me at the realisation that he has to leave again but Frank smiles softly and says "So, I finish at 10 and...." "Yes" I cut him off to say, not caring what the plan is only caring that I see him again and Franks smile grows a little wider as he says "Ok so I'll be back at 10." "Can't wait" I tell him before reaching out and pulling him back in, starting to kiss him again before he pulls back and leaves, my heart still racing as I turn and go back inside.

The rest of the night passes surprisingly quickly and just as our second movie finishes I see it's already 9.30 and I turn to Mikey and say "So I...." "Yes, yes we'll leave" Mikey says, sticking his tongue out at me and I smile sheepishly as he smiles back and says "Have fun, use a condom," my smile dropping a little as my cheeks heat up and Pete laughs as he stands too and I walk them to the door, Mikey pausing to give me a hug before they leave and when I go back inside I rush around and tidy up, throwing the pizza boxes out before I go into the bathroom, taking a quick shower and just as I'm getting dressed I hear a knock at the door and I smile wide as I rush down the hallway, excited to see Frank but when I open the door I'm met with Nicole, her eyes wide and bloodshot, obvious dried tear tracks on her cheeks.
