"I wanna go camping," I stated.

I was sitting on Frank's lap in his office while he was on his computer checking his email. He had one arm wrapped around my waist, holding me close. He was of course dressed in one of his fancy suits and I played with the end of his tie.

"Camping?" Frank asked.

I nodded. "My family goes camping every year and they're going again and I'm going and I want you to join us."

"Camping with your family?" He asked.

"I've met your parents, I think it's about time that you met mine," I said.

"Usually people start off with a small, awkward dinner, not a weekend in the woods," he said.

"You don't have to go, I just thought it would be fun," I mumbled.

Frank gave me a soft kiss and I smiled.

"That would be a lot of fun," he said. "I would love to go."

I giggled happily, giving him a hug.

"Okay, so it's gonna be my parents, my brother, Jamia, Jamia's parents and her siblings and her sister's boyfriend," I said.

Frank nodded, biting his lip.

"So, are you one of those people who gets cabins?" He asked.

"Nope, tents," I said.

"I've never been camping before," he admitted.

"Really?" I asked. "It's a lot of fun."

"Well, I wouldn't mind sitting underneath the stars with you," he said.

I smiled and he held my hand.

"And we're gonna share a tent with Jamia," I said.

"Sounds like a fun slumber party," he said. "Do you have a tent?"

"Jamia and I were gonna look for one at the Salvation Army or something," I said.

"No, here, let me give you some money and you can go pick one out," he said.

Frank handed me his credit card and I shook my head, pushing his hand away.

"I can't take your money," I said.

"Baby, it's okay--"

"No, I can't," I interrupted. "You've already paid for so much for me."

"It's for the both of us, Baby," he said. "And it's either you get one or I'll just buy one myself but I don't know as much about tents as you."

I took his credit card and he gave me a kiss.

"I hate taking money from people," I mumbled.

"You're not taking money," he said. "I love you, Gee, and I don't only work for myself, I work to take care of my loved ones and buy them nice things."

I gave him a kiss and he smiled.

"Alright, I'm gonna go then," I said. "I just wanted to come by and ask you if you would want to go."

"It sounds like a lot of fun, Gee," he said. "I can't wait to go."

I gave him a kiss before I stood up.

"I love you," I said.

"I love you too, Baby Boy," he said.

He kissed my cheek and I giggled happily. I went home and picked up Jamia before we went to the store.

"So, Frank is going to join us on our camping trip," I said. "And we are going to buy a tent with his credit card."

"Do you think your parents will like him?" She asked.

"I don't see why not," I said with a small shrug. "I hope they do, they like everyone."

We got to the store and looked around.

"Maybe we should get a tent with a seperate room for you two," she said.

I shook my head. "I don't wanna spend too much money. I want to spend as minimal as possible."

She nodded and I looked at the different tents on display.

"Are you nervous about introducing him to your parents?" She asked.

"No, I think that it'll go fine," I said. "Frank is so nice, how could anyone not like him?"

"Does Frank have a sleeping bag? Should we get one for him?" She asked.

"Uh, I don't know, I'll have to ask him later," I said. "He should be going in for a meeting soon and I don't want to interrupt him by calling him."

"This is gonna be so much fun," she said. "I love camping."

"I know right, it's so much fun," I said. "And it's gonna be so much more fun now that Frank will be there too."

"Has he ever been camping before?" She asked.

"I don't think so," I said. "And He's always so fancy so I don't know how he's gonna react to being out there in the woods."

"I think it's gonna be amusing, he's always wearing his suits," she said. "I wonder how he'll adjust to it."

"Hopefully well, he seems like a pretty adaptable person," I said.

"But he was also born with a silver spoon," she said.

"Yeah I guess," I said. "I don't know, I just want him to fit in and I want my parents to like him."

I shrugged and looked at a box, checking the information on the tent.

"What about this?" I asked.

"Mm, no, I wouldn't get that brand," she said. "My parents one time got a tent from that brand and it barely held up throughout the night, they use pretty cheap materials so the tent will rip."

"Fuck, okay," I mumbled, finding another tent. "This one then, this is a pretty good brand."

We paid for the tent and headed to the car.

"So, How are things with you and Frank?" She asked.

I shrugged.

"What? I thought you two were in love," she said.

"Yeah but...I just feel like he's lying to me, there's just something in his life that he isn't telling me," I said.

"You should ask him," she said.

"I have," I said. "I don't know, I'm just hoping that maybe this camping trip will help us."

We got back to the apartment and I sighed as I set the box down by the stairs.

"Are you gonna move in with Frank?" Jamia asked.

"I don't know," I mumbled. "I mean, he hasn't asked me. I think that it might just be a little too soon for us to move in together. Besides, you're gonna be all lonely here by yourself."

"I'll be fine," she said. "I'm happy that you've found someone."

I smiled, giving her a hug.

"I'm gonna start packing," I said.

I went up to m bedroom and sighed as I grabbed my duffel bag. I was excited to see my family again, I haven't seen them for a while. I was really close with my family because they were thankfully really accepting of not only my love for skirts but also of my love for men.

I went through my closet and packed up everything I wanted to bring with me. I made sure to pack lots of warm clothing, it usually got cold at night. And now I'll be able to snuggle with Frank to keep me warm too.

"Gee, what do you want for dinner?" Jamia asked as she walked in.

"I don't know, let's just order a pizza," I said.

I know Frank would rather I used his card but it still just made me a little uncomfortable using it.

"Let's get one of those really good deep dish pizzas," I said.

"Oh, that sounds so good right now," she said, sitting on my bed.

She picked up the picture frame on my nightstand, which held just a simple picture I had taken of Frank and I on my phone.

"This is adorable," she said. "Oh, I think you two are so good together. It makes me want to date someone, I haven't dated anyone in a while and seeing you two so happy together makes me feel lonely and, you know, lowkey jealous."

"You don't have to be jealous, Mia," I said. "You'll always have a special spot in my heart and then soon you're gonna go and fall in love with someone too. Boy or girl, whoever steals your little bisexual heart."

She smiled, setting the picture frame down.

"Are you sure you want to share a tent with me?" She asked.

"Of course," I said. "Even Frank wants to, he said that it's gonna be like a big slumber party."

She snickered. "Frank doesn't seem like a slumber party type of guy."

I imagined him dressed in a pair of pink pajamas with pretty pink slippers having a pillow fight. I burst out laughing, shaking my head. Tears were practically rolling down my cheeks as I tried to compose myself.

"What?" Jamia asked.

I just shook my head and took a few deep breaths. I finally managed to calm down and a wiped my eyes.

"Sorry, no, nevermind, I don't even know what I was just thinking," I said. "But he did say that he thought it would be a lot of fun."

I stood up, setting my half-empty bag down on the floor against the wall.

"I'm gonna go pick up the pizza and drop Frank's credit card off," I said. "I'll be back soon. Pepperoni okay?"

"Perfect," she agreed.

I smiled, going downstairs. I drove to Frank's house and pulled out the key that Frank had given me. I walked into his house and looked around.

"Daddy? You home?" I called.

It was empty and I sighed as I went back to his office. I set his credit card down on his desk when I frowned. What if he doesn't want it open on his desk? I opened the top drawer to put it in there when I froze, staring at the gun inside the drawer.

I didn't even know that Frank owned a gun. I've never really been too comfortable with guns, they were just too dangerous.

The office door opened and I quickly shut the drawer. I looked up at Frank and saw him almost completely naked. His hair was wet and water droplets glistened on his skin. He had a white towel wrapped loose around his waist.

"Hey, Baby Boy, what are you doing here?" He asked.

"I-I was just returning the credit card," I said.

He held my hips, giving me a kiss.

"I thought I heard someone come in," he said. "You scared me."

I nodded but was still a little nervous about the gun less than a foot away.

"D-do you own a sleeping bag?" I asked.

"Sleeping bag?" He asked and I nodded. "Oh, I don't sleep on the ground. Can we get an air mattress?"

"It's not camping with an air mattress," I said.

"Please, Baby, we can cuddle on the mattress," he said.

"Fine, I'll get us an air mattress," I said.

"Don't worry, sweetheart, I'll get one for us, you don't have to worry about it," Frank said.

I gave him a soft kiss and as he wrapped his arms around me, I felt safer than I ever have before.
