Just For One Night
deux
Frank woke up in his own bed the next morning with a splitting headache. He tried to remember the events of the night before, not caring that it hurt his head more. He was just remembering when the alcohol from the night before came back up and he had to rush to the bathroom. After throwing up the contents of his stomach, he sat in his bed and tried to remember again. A few minutes passed and the night before had started to become clear in his head.
He had fucked Lindsey.
Frank wanted to kick himself. Of all the people at the party he could’ve had drunken sex with, Lindsey was the one to avoid. She was one of the prettiest, he had to credit her with that, but she was taken. Not only was she taken but she was taken with the man of Frank’s dreams.
Frank was mentally beating himself up for the events of the party when his phone rang. He groaned at the sound and saw it was his friend Bob.
“Ughh, what do you want, Bob?” Frank answered the phone.
“Wow, you sound like shit dude! I’m guessing you enjoyed last night then,” Bob said when he heard Frank’s croaky voice.
“Yeah, kinda,” Frank said vaguely. “So, why are you calling again?”
“Oh yeah, so I’m having a massive party for New Year’s Eve. Do you want to help me plan it and stuff? I won’t be able to cope by myself, man,” Bob said, answering Frank’s initial question.
“Yeah alright, I needed something to keep me busy anyway. But can I ask one favour?” Frank asked hopefully.
“Yeah, sure, whatever you want.”
“Can I be in charge of inviting people?”
“Uh, yeah of course, do you mind if I ask why?”
Frank thought about how that way he could invite that particular someone special. He silently praised himself for coming up with the idea so quickly. Frank would be able to fill the emptiness inside him on the night and maybe even have Gerard as a boyfriend. All of a sudden, Frank realised something. Gerard was still with Lindsey. Everyone knew Lindsey was unfaithful but for some reason Gerard didn’t believe them or just chose to ignore it. Frank just had to prove to Gerard that Lindsey was a cheater and that he was worthy of someone trustworthy who wanted him and only him. But how would he go about doing that?
“Um, Frank? Are you still there?” Bob’s voice interrupted Frank’s thoughts and brought him back to reality.
“Oh, sorry, uh, no reason I, uh, gotta go my head is killing me dude. I need to go get some sleep,” Frank hurriedly replied. He needed to stop zoning out. That was embarrassing.
“Sure, OK man I’ll see you soon. Bye.” Bob hung up on the other end; certain something was up with Frank.
Frank lay around in bed most of the day, trying to sleep off his hangover. His head was pounding too much to think of a plan to let Gerard know of the real Lindsey, without revealing that he had slept with her. This would be a challenge and Frank only had just under a month. He closed his eyes and drifted off, after deciding that he’ll think about it properly when his head was clear.
