CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO

Hey it's me!
Sorry I didn't update earlier,
I was planning to update but
Our wifi was being bitchy and went out for like 5 hours, and I
Didn't get any writing done.
But it's here now! Enjoy💖

Handing the landlord your keys for the apartment, you're finally gonna be living in your house.
It was fully furnished with the help of Frank, you stored the boxes in an extra room just in case you could use it for something.
"Finally... I'll have a normal life."
You sighed, noticing how lonely it is. You're all alone, no pets and no one living with you.
Just awhile ago, some of your neighbors welcomed you with cookies and fruit cake, letting them in. You had a chat with them and they seemed nice.
You were expecting more of your neighbors to welcome you, and speaking of the devil, someone knocked on your door.

Standing up, you opened the door. To be greeted with a very familiar face, your heart had manage to somehow skip a few beats as you saw the shocked expression looking back at you.
"Y/N..?"
She said awkwardly,
"Y-Yeah.. Hey, Maia..."
You greeted her, opening the door wide enough for her to enter.
She stepped in hesitantly, a bowl of cookies in her hands.

"You can put those here.."
She followed your instructions, setting it down on the kitchen table.
Silence fell between you two, it's been years since you last talked with eachother... You cleared your throat and asked,
"I guess you live near here?"

"Yeah, just.. Just down the street."

"Right.."

The tension was so thick, it clearly suffocated the both of you.
She smiled, rubbing her arm.
"Welcome to the neighborhood..! And uh, Y/N?"

"Hm?"

She sighed, looking down.
"I'm sorry I shut you out... I just.. I didn't--"

"I forgive you..."
You interrupted her, making her look back up in shock.
"Y-Yeah.. Thanks, and if you'd like we can.. Maybe be friends again...?"
She asked in a hush tone. You couldn't deny it, you felt excited. Finally becoming friends again with Maia.
"Sure.. And thanks for coming by! I appreciate it, Maia."
You smiled at her, putting your hand on her shoulder. She nodded, smiling softly.
She waved goodbye and went home.

You couldn't believe it... You just rekindled a friendship with Maia once again! You were ecstatic and happy, that the two of you finally became friends. It was awkward, sure, and probably will for a few days. But just as long as you guys were friends, it was enough for you.
It's been awhile since you had a friend the same age as you, aside from Frank, but he was still older than you.

A few hours had passed by since that interaction with Maia, and all you did was watched some movies. Frank couldn't come over since he had a job to do, and you didn't mind. But you missed him already, it's only been a few days since you last saw his face and you wanted to see it again.
Grabbing your phone, you contemplated texting him and asking him to come over... Ah, screw it, you aren't getting younger so you texted him.

Grinning to yourself, you felt giddy as you waited for Frank to arrive. You don't know why he makes you feel like this, all giddy and like a little elementary student. Deep down, you knew what it was, and you already accepted it. But why it's much more effective..? This affected you much more than any past crushes and lovers you had.
Right now, it was way more than just a silly crush. You're probably... In love with him by now.
You fell for his personality but now that you've seen his face? It was obvious, alright. His good looks and deep dimples were not helping at all.
His cute freckles on his face, his honey brown eyes that looks red at first glance. And his brown slick back hair that is sometimes messy, especially during the mornings.
Shaking your head, stopping yourself from thinking of him too much as you could feel yourself getting hotter and hotter.

Seconds turned to minutes and minutes turned to an hour, Frank hasn't arrived yet.
You felt a little hurt, and waited for him, Like a puppy waiting for its owner to come back.
Just as you were about to text him, someone knocked on your door.
Excited, thinking Frank arrived, you stood up and opened the door.

You smiled upon seeing him, while he returned your smile.
"What took you so long?"
You asked with a pout, he laughed as came in.
"Sorry, It was because I bought food!"
Lifting up two bags, you smiled at him.
Sitting down at the couch, the two of you ate while watching a movie.
Talking and joking with eachother, and you told him what happened earlier with Maia.
"That's great, Y/N. Being around those kids all day made you like one as well."
He teased as you slapped him on his arm.
"I don't act like a kid."
Your eyebrows furrowed as he raised an eyebrow.
"Right."
He said.

Movies after movies, the sun went down. And somehow, you sat a little too close to Frank. You acted like everything was fine, but your heart couldn't stop beating as he wrapped an arm around your shoulders, your head resting on his chest.
You could hear his heartbeat, which unlike yours, it was calm and steady. You smiled, liking how close you are to his heart.
He laughed silently and asked,
"Enjoying yourself?"
You rolled your eyes, not bothering to hide your smile.
"No, not really."
You faked a yawn, acting bored. Looking up at him, he pouted.
You laughed as he turned your body to face him fully.
"Oh really? How about..."
Before you could do anything, he had wrapped his arms around your waist.
Feeling a blush creep up to your cheeks, he pushed you down, as he laid on top of you. Smiling mischievously.
"Do you like this?"
He asked,
His hands snaked around your waist, his head rested on your chest and his body positioned between your legs. You nodded while avoiding his gaze, which made him chuckle.
The two of you continued to watch the movie, while you played with his hair, you could feel him drawing small circles on your back.

You liked this, being with Frank and being close to him. A peaceful silence wrapped around you two, until he spoke.
"Your heart is beating fast..."
He said with a smirk.
"Are you nervous..?"
He buried his face on your chest, his eyes looking up at you.
Scowling, knowing exactly what he was doing, you stuck you tongue out.
"I'm not nervous.. It's not like I like you, and your face--! You perv.."
He chuckled, then closed his eyes.
"I know you like me."

Your mouth agape, you scoffed.
"Yeah, right. What makes you say that?"
Looking back at him as he opened his eyes, smirking.
"You already know that I like you."

"You do..?"

He went silent.
"Please don't tell me you're only realizing it now?"
You laughed soflty, shaking your head.

"I had my suspicions, but it felt nice to hear you confirm it."
You smiled as he rolled his eyes, smiling like a dork.

"Anyways, I know you like me. Because you wouldn't let me have my way with you if you didn't."
You raised an eyebrow, smirking.
He sighed,
"Not in that way, Y/N."

The two of you laughed.
You didn't say anything as he already knew you liked him, but he still insisted on saying you like him out loud.
"It'd be nice for you to say it out loud, so there's no confusion."
He hummed, making you sigh.
Turning his head towards you, meeting your eyes with his. You smiled.
"Frank..."

"Yes, Y/N?"
He cooed.

"I like you."
Smiling as you cupped his face,

"I like you too."

As he pushed himself up, leaning towards you. You sat up, leaning towards him as well, your eyes never leaving each other's.
His hand gripping your waist, your faces inches away from eachother.
Feeling his breath on your lips, eyes still staring at one another, seeing his eyes flicker down to your lips.

Cupping his face, he leaned in.
Closing the distance between you two.
Pressing his soft lips onto yours, with closed eyes as you sat there, shocked and eyes widened.
A quick peck, that was all.

He pulled back and looked at you, and what felt like forever as you stared back at him, wanting more.
The both of you leaned back in, his lips all over yours.
Moving in sync and in rhythm.
His tongue swiped your bottom lip, asking for permission.
Letting him in, your tongue danced with his.
Wrapping your arms around him, pulling him close as his arms snaked around your waist, pulling you closer.
Bodies pressed up against eachother, your body felt warm and electric.
Your heart was erratic and butterflies went wild in your stomach.
Your legs around his waist, he straightened himself, making you seated on his lap
Your hands in his hair, as he bit your lip, making you moan.

And when air became a necessity, the both of you pulled back.
Panting, with flushed cheeks. Staring at one another, he smirked seeing you hide your face.
"Don't be shy now, Y/N."
He cooed, making you smile.
Covering your eyes, grinning widely.
"Stop..!"
You exclaimed as he buried his face at the crook of your neck. His hands still gripping your waist as he gave your neck a trail of kisses, making you giggle.
Hugging him, he smiled. Feeling it against your skin.

He asked,
"What are you doing this weekend?"

Looking down at him, you raised an eyebrow and smiled.
"I'll be having a date with you."
