"Columbia!" Her head immediately rose and the groupie wiped her tears with a smile as she ran down the hall. "Huh?" "Our Sleeping Beauty requests a certain meal for lunch." Frank grinned. "Mandy's sleeping again?" Columbia groaned and sat on a sofa. He sighed and pulled her to his chest. "Don't be like that sweetie. She's still on the road to recovery remember?" "I know. But I want to have some fun with her before she leaves." She closed her eyes. "What do you mean? She's not going anywhere." Frank cleared her bangs out of her face. "Next time I need to go shopping you can come with me. She works there." "Really? Thank you!" She opened her eyes and clapped. "Okay not so loud. Why don't you take this.." He handed her thirty dollars out of his purse on the couch. "..and order a large pizza with half vegetables and whichever topping you want." Frank winked.
"Oh so that was her request. Aye aye captain!" She saluted and ran to the kitchen. "I spoke too soon." He went to open the door to start his truck with an exhausted sigh. Only to find Brian walking up to the doorstep.
"I just.." He started. Frank slyly smiled. "Yes?" "Don't look at me like that!" Frank crossed his arms with the expression still on his face. "Ugh. Look. Can I talk to you aside? Um, man to man?" "Why of course dear." He shut the door behind him. "I kinda need a favor and you're the only one I could count on." "Go on." He blinked and fixed his corset. "That red headed pixie you reside here." "Called it." He chuckled. "Called what?" Brian blushed. "Don't think I didn't see that peck on the cheek you gave her." He shook his head. "Wait. So you're not mad?" "Mad? Why on earth would I be mad?"
Taken aghast, Brian sighed. "Oh thank god. I thought I was interfering with your relationship." "No hard feelings. Come on in. Columbia's ordering pizza, on request of Mandy." Bryan gulped. "How is she doing by the way?" They stepped inside the castle. "Well she's very tired but that's normal, I can assure you."
"Pizza's ordered Frankie!" She walked in then blushed. "What's he doing here? That's certainly not my Eddie." "You can call me Eddie if you want." Brian shrugged and placed his hands in his pockets. "Um. No thanks. I'm sorry but why are you here? I kind of have plans with.." "Frank!" Mandy called from upstairs. "Try not to strangle each other." The transvestite headed up the stairs.
"That was a bit of a knock out. How are you feeling baby?" "I'm fine. But I feel a little drowsy." He hummed and rubbed her left cheek with his thumb. "That just means you're hungry." She felt a soft pat on her stomach. "Would you like me to get you something or can you wait a few more minutes?" "Can I have a glass of apple juice please? With ice?" "Of course. Oh, Brian stopped by if you would like to say hello."
"It's okay. I'll talk to him later." "Alright. Here." He handed her a clicker to the monitor. "Why don't you find us something to watch and I'll be right back." "Yay!" She smiled. Frank hummed and left down the stairs. "Why must she be so darn cute?" His eyes then widened as he saw Brian and Columbia passionately making out on the sofa.
"You're energetic tonight. Do you have a boyfriend?" Brian stopped and rubbed her bare back. "I did." She frowned. "But it didn't last as long as I thought it would. Can you be my new one? Kind of a sudden q.." He roughly kissed her again.
The doorbell rang and Frank quietly backed up the stairs, waiting to see if she was going to answer the door. Columbia sighed and stood up, feeling Brian's hands still on her waist. "Don't get your hopes up Buster. I'm not hungry for just you tonight." She took the money and opened the door. Brian held the pizza box in his hand and carried it to the kitchen. "I can carry that thank you very much." She went to grab it but he lifted it up higher. "That's not fair!" She jumped higher.
Frank walked back down the stairs with a smirk. Columbia blushed even harder. "He's bugging me Frankie! I want him to go." "I'm already to-go." Brian slyly smiled as he slipped the pizza box on the table and wrapped his arms around her waist.
Rolling his eyes, the transvestite went to the fridge to pour Mandy her drink. "Nobody is going anywhere. Now can I trust you two to not kill each other?" Columbia folded her arms. "Well you have my trust. But I certainly don't want to know what's on his mind." She left to get plates and silverware.
Frank looked to him, expecting a response. "We're two peas in a pod Frank. Allow me to demonstrate." Brian winked and stood beside her. The transvestite rolled his eyes and placed two slices on individual plates. "Why are you still here?" She hurriedly took hers and quickly walked to the living room. "I'd like to inform you that she has limits. Don't do anything to set her off." Frank whispered to him before leaving upstairs.
Mandy fiddled with the clicker as she explored the channels. "I wonder if..Oh. Here we go. Awesome!" He silently walked in the room and set the plates on his dresser. "What's awesome baby?" Frank placed a kiss on her cheek. She giggled and went to carefully scoot over by using her hands. "Mandy." He sighed. "Please don't do that again." She went to open her mouth as Frank handed her the glass and a plate. "Okay. Sorry." He lay beside her and kissed her neck. "It just makes me nervous. Now what on earth is this?" Frank looked confusedly at the monitor screen and notice a green creature walking through a swamp. "A movie. It's called Shrek." "What's a 'Shrek'?" She giggled. "Shrek is an ogre. He lives in this swamp." Mandy sipped her drink.
"I see. Now why does this man want to find a princess?" The screen cut to a castle. "Hm? Oh. He wants to become king. That's basically it." She sighed as her stomach felt full after only eating half of the slice. "Well. That certainly didn't take long for me now did it?" Frank took her plate after finishing his and waited for Mandy to set her glass on the dresser on her side of the bed. "Did it?" She hummed and rested her head on his shoulder. Frank kissed the top of Mandy's head and placed an arm around her.
"Oh it's one of those 'fairy tales' isn't it?" "Yep. With a twist. The princess has a secret." Frank looked down at her. "Oh does she?" "Mhm. But I'm not going to spoil it for you." "Does my princess happen to have something to tell me?" Frank grinned and carefully hovered above her. She rolled her eyes. "No. No I not. Why?" "Something all bottled up and just waiting to be let out." He tempted and slowly removed the bed sheets. "NO! I don't have a secret Frank! I swear!" She blushed. "Wait. Why did you pull down the blankets? I'm cold." Mandy pretended to shiver.
He moved his hovering body down the bed. "I'm just checking on you. If you don't mind." She groaned and stared at the ceiling. "I'm fine. Now can I please.." Her voice faded as she felt his lips in between the two bandages. "Why?" Mandy softly moaned and closed her eyes.
Frank looked up and crawled back up the bed. "I'm not in the mood Frank." "Baby, I know your tired but you can't spend all day sleeping. It's only.." He glanced up at a clock. "..one thirty-two. Come on." "Uh uh." Mandy whined and covered her head with a blanket. The transvestite huffed. "Please don't test my patience Mandy."
She sighed and sat up, rubbing her eyes then shaking her head. "I'm really starting to regret being a human." Frank smiled and kissed her on the lips. "It's alright. You'll feel better tomorrow." "Are you sure?" Mandy stood up with him holding her waist. "Cross my heart and hope to die."
