the office,the widower, and the intern (what do we want, when we do what we want)

After a short walk we had made it to his apartment, and tome honest, I was sad, I wanted to stay with Frank for more time, yet here we where.

"I had fun" he said simply, as he looked down to the sidewalk

"Me too, I um, I'll see you on monday...I guess" I say, wanting to get out of this awkward situation

"Okay, see ya" he smiled and walked inside the building, leaving me alone in the dark

I walked down the street, taking my time as I dragged my feet on the pavement looking at the few people that still wander the streets around me or those who walk out of the bars and clubs looking completely shitfaced, and for a half second I felt envious, it was the first year after he died that I just drank away my feelings, but it was after Mikey found out thatI stopped with his help.

But I don't know why now thats what I want, even my thoughts run wild in my head, but I keep walking down the streets avoiding the people stumbling down the street.

~~~~~~~the next day~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I woke up late, 11:23 with my phone buzzing from my bedside table (like it always does, why can't I mute it?), it was texts, from Frank, fuck....

I pick up the phone and look at the texts

9:45 F ~ morning, you get back alright?~
9:50 F ~ hullo?~
9:54 F ~ are you okay, or did I do something?~
10:20 F ~ are you alright?~
11:23 F ~ you okay? please be okay~

I sigh loudly, mentally slapping myself for making him worry.

G ~ yeah, I'm fine, I just slept in ~
G ~ also you didn't do anything, don't worry :) ~

the little 'seen' message shows up before the bubble and three dots

F ~ oh....sorry...I didn't mean to be weirdly clingy...~

I put my phone down, on the floor as I lay back down on my bed, trying to convince myself to get back up and out of bed.

The phone buzzed again flailing around on the floor, that giving me the motivation to get up.
I chase after it as it stops and look at why its flailing around.

F ~ I just relised that I'm being clingy, Im gonna stop now....~

G ~STOOOPPP WORRYING~

I have no idea what I'm doing when I start typing again

G ~ would you maybe like to go out with me again sometime?"

F ~ I'd love too~

for some reason, I was really happy.
