Two Is Better Than One ⭐

22 - Franklin & Vienna

Frank walked up to me as I stood there in shock. I was looking at a screen set up along with pillows and blankets.

"Franklin Adler, what is this?" I asked as he took the pizza from me.

"Well Vienna Morgan this me recreating the best date we ever had." Frank said and I sighed and shook my head.

"Frank..."

"Don't Vee, don't knock this down...please. Just join me." Frank said and took my hand and we walked over to the blanket and sat down.

"So why are you recreating this?" I asked and Frank sighed.

"Because like I said this was the best date we ever had. The time I knew I was really in love with you Vee." Frank said and I shook my head looking away from him.

"We can't do this Frank..." I said he shook his head.

"Yes, we can, and we will. We were stupid when we broke up, I was stupid actually. I made really stupid mistakes when you talked about the future. You had every right to talk about everything you wanted but I didn't have the right to panic and run away. In all reality I want all that with you and only you." Frank said and I looked back up at him.

"Frank, I thought we were perfect, the only reason I talked about the future is because I thought we already had everything else. We had Mary who was a fantastic kid, we didn't screw her up that bad..." I said and we both gave a small laugh. "I figured it was the next step but then when you panicked, I knew you never wanted that. I started to feel like the glorified babysitter again." I said and Frank shook his head.

"No! I didn't want you to feel like that. Remember when you stayed the night and I put you in my bed?" Frank asked and I nodded.

"Yeah..." I said.

"Well, I got in bed with you, and you rolled over and placed your head on my chest. I knew then how much I missed having you here with me. I mean I knew I missed you long before that but having you in my arms again actually broke my heart because you're the reason, I can't sleep at night because you are missing from my bed and my life. I know I'm talking in circles when all I really want to say is. I love you Vienna Morgan. I want you to give me another chance and if you would do that, I promise you I will never fuck it up again." Frank said and I smiled at him and dropped my head as tears filled my eyes. I finally looked back up at him. He saw tears falling and wiped them away.

"You don't know how long I have waited for you to come to the realization that you still loved me or did love me or whatever it was in your mind. I have loved you forever Franklin Adler, I never stopped." I said and Frank smiled. He leaned in and I felt his lips touch mine gently. It quickly turned feverish from both of us. Frank laid me down on the blankets and we soon forgot about the pizza and movie all together as we laid on the blanket just making out.

I woke up wrapped in a blanket with Frank behind me also wrapped in the same blanket. We were in the backyard still and had obviously fallen asleep while making out and watching the movie after we decided to actually eat since our first make out session ended when our stomach growled. I sat up easily and stretched hearing bones crack. I was too old to sleep on the hard ground.

"God, if your bones sound that bad, I don't know if I should get up." Frank said and we laughed.

"I can't believe we fell asleep out here." I said and Frank smiled as he sat up, leaned over and gave me a small kiss.

"But it was nice to hold you again." Frank said and I smiled.

"It was nice to be held again." I said and gave a small shiver.

"Let's get inside and have some coffee, warm up." Frank said and I nodded. He helped me stand up and we headed inside after we cleaned everything up. Frank started the coffee, and I looked in the fridge.

"Want some eggs?" I asked and Frank nodded as I got the eggs out of the fridge and started getting a pan and everything ready. He walked over to me standing at the stove and wrapped his arms around me from behind, I smiled leaning back into him.

"So, I think we need to discuss what all this means when food is done." Frank said and I nodded.

"Open and honest though." I said and Frank nodded as I started cooking the eggs and even added some sausage as well knowing we needed a little more. Frank made toast while I finished. He poured our coffee and we sat next to each other at the small kitchen table.

"This is amazing Vee, thank you." Frank said and I smiled.

"It's just eggs and sausage links." I said and he laughed.

"But you cooked it so it's amazing." Frank said and I smiled.

We were both silent for a minute and I figured I would rip the band aid off first.

"Okay so I just want to say if we are going to make this work and official...I'm keeping my apartment." I said and Frank looked at me oddly.

"What?! Why?!" Frank asked and I sighed.

"Frank, I moved in here to help with Mary when she was a baby. I don't know if you've noticed...she is a mini adult now. I mean I think she is smarter than me. I think us living together ruined us last time and I don't want to do that again. I want to do this right. We can keep to our schedule we have with Mary now, but we can also have date nights and be out together like a normal couple. You can come and pick me up, hell my apartment can even be a little hideaway if we want a change of scenery..." I said and Frank just sighed but nodded.

"I think you living at your place will be smart. I hate it and would love to have you back here, but I also get it. As long as you're mine again I don't care what I have to do to have you." Frank said.

"Well, you have me, Franklin." I said. He groaned, I knew he hated it but also the smile when get groaned made me know he secretly liked it.

"That's all I need then Vienna." Frank said and leaned in giving me a small kiss.
